Budding Desires

Desires unleashed, Desires unchained, They’re not his doing, They're not his making. Out of the closet, they emerge, Like a deluge, they overwhelm, They cloud the thoughts, They stealthy permeate. Dilemma spells the day, Who pulls the string? Who is at the helm of affairs? Who stands at the gate? There’s a tempest and a tussle, There’s turbulence and pushback, There’s midnight and a peering light, There’s an inrush and a bulwark. October 6, 2022.
