Addiction

Like a boatman on his ship Where the vastness of sea only exists The urge to float towards certain destination When the compass is pointing to every direction! And the pole star becomes the only mean! Along the infinity stretch of a road Like the high way covers North South corridor And the urge to reach at its end When i am completely unaware about which direction i meant! Then in every itinerant I try to find a guide! Like an astronaut being in space Where darkness prevails despite trillions of stars The urge to return to own birth place The moment it experience the infinite vastness! As if it knows why it was! When urges emerged from survival instinct Keen and focused every action we do Again and again No second thought mind bring for auction Without any drug, such actions are from addiction! As if we wish only this! ~ Ashok Kumar Mishra ~
