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.
