Aversion Sprouts From Desire

Under the scorching blaze of the craving sun The desiccated life suffering forsaken parched Searches for a wayside tree of gratification To provide the satisfying shade of success. The fulfillment of deep desire of irresistible love I irresistibly desire from the core of my heart Subsumes seamlessly the passionate hedonism That takes me to the ambit of enticing impulse. Chasing mirage on dwindling dunes of despair Hope lost of taking life to the illusion of oasis As sand storm of setback brews in the horizon I enter the awareness realm to surpass crave. The insight restrains the demanding dreams Lest these plunge to languish in life’s abyss Push the self to the destructive domain of fear At the disappearing edge of the ebbing hopes. My mind then develops special skill of courage Cultivates aspirant ability to evade the urge Repulsion frees me from the bond of attraction As I feel aversion sprout from the seed of desire. ________________ September 30, 2022 Contest : Desire And Aversion Sponsored by : Unseeking Seeker
