DORMANT DESIRES

     Seeds of desires were sown as our glances met.
     Emotive urge started to flow though hidden yet.
     Wobbled heart got confused to manifest.
      No way ! Shy silent love to hesitate.
      Not sure, whether you will reciprocate !
      Better, you might approach, I’ll watch and wait.

      But I chose you as king of my little empire.
      My passion was piercing me to ignite fire.
      Unable to express myself, but I’m sincere.
      I won’t suppress ardent ardour more,  it’s clear.
       I must drive away clouds of dilemma entire.
     “The clouds parted like the pursed lips of desire.”
