Of Barren Lands and Deserts

Of Barren Lands And Deserts! !

seems like I am getting drawn to 
the beauty of barren lands and the deserts, 

as fiercely as I go in my best efforts 
to dry-up every drop of love that never quenches my thirst! 
the pain is getting so dry, 
I am getting in love with the dryness! 

eagerly waiting for a sharp and cold knife 
to rip me off..still standing there to fight it off, 
so that it just melts down 
and then dries-up.. then find my dryness to go ahead! ! 

coldness is enough.. this coldness 
is so enough.. I got so frozen-up, 
as much as my wishes and pleads for love! 

find no warmth in these 
cold hearts.., no warmth, 
all good now to go find my place 
in the scorching heats, 

get burned and be happy 
spreading the warmth like Sun, 
to every coldest of the hearts, 
that might freeze another heart, otherwise!
