The Raging Flames of 'Desire'

It is
All consuming
Subsuming everything
Coursing through
The veins
Reaching…..
First
The seat of emotions
Then
From there
After unseating everyone
But one
Goes Unfiltered
Pumped everywhere
Strangely
No antibodies rush
To counter it
A foreign element?
E…r…r Yes
H…m…m No
No, no, no
Definitely not
The system accepts it
Completely
Letting it dominate
The whole being
Surrendering to it
Not just meekly
But willingly, happily
Almost joyously
Meet
The raging flames of
‘Desire’.
