Notes About The Poem

Repressed Desire

Myriad desires
that our heart aspires
manifests as dreams
subconscious mind streams.

We wish to possess
objects to progress,
to enhance self-worth 
for our time on earth.

Not all dreams are met,
like a Boeing jet
or a fancy yacht,
so we’re in a spot.

We never forget
what we did not get,
thus this repression
causes depression.

Rise in a jiffy
is always iffy,
so feeling hemmed in,
we resort to sin.

Our misaligned heart
is where cravings start,
until we be still,
accepting God’s will.

Silence then the way
that makes earth life play,
head-heart hand in glove,
suffused with God’s love.

Once ego’s no more,
as of old folklore,
love blows us a kiss; 
we reclaim soul’s bliss.
