BURNING DESIRE
Aghast,
a state realize reality,
Semblance
life event stability,
Collapsed,
lost consciousness,
Correlation
crept, let impress, (1)
Discovers
hospital bed nurses,
Rows of
patient sight if curses,
Who
will survive till the dawn,
Who
quit last night unknown, (2)
Self
watch, my monitor screen,
Gentle
curves assured stream,
Human
life, mesmerizing value,
Fragile,
human lives, loses clue, (3)
Sleeping
on the bed, inert, alert,
Owner
of a dozen houses effort,
Burning
desire writhes dreamy,
Worked
earned million steamy, (4)
Every
conceivable design, flats,
Number
of famous city impacts,
Ponder
deeply, acquired home,
List of
property, asset, worrisome, (5)
Why do
I build homes? for whom,
Failed
to answer reason come,
Burning
desire, within me fire,
A bed
is enough I build an empire, (6)
Thousands
of square feet fight,
I
worked and earned millions, right,
Realized
now life is not perpetual,
Hundreds
of flats won magical, (7)
Stolen
my possession material,
Burning
desires think satirical,
Not
emotional realization cursed,
A
second, curve to line immersed, (viii)
A few
seconds after a declaration,
Preparations
for the cremation,
What
will happen to my property,
Nameplates
redesigned thirsty, (9)
Just a
name, age, address, stay,
Acquire
property soon dismays,
The
ghost of burning desire live,
Believe
or disbelieve but deceive, (10)
Perfect
machination steal dream,
Resilient
to detachment extreme,
Fight
for money territory assets,
I sleep
on hospital bed dissects, (11)
The
ghost piggy-backed my life,
Opposed
to a forgotten cruel knife,
Smile
at myself, mistakes to identify,
Burning
desire, soul escape, defy, (12)
Merge
with the earth, wind, water,
Perpetual,
soul unite with nature,
Not in
every breath, mingle, know,
Childhood
to twilight years, show, (13)
Burning
desire part of nature lit,
Divine
wish, human lives defeat,
Consoled,
comfortable, convinced,
Slept
soundly God bless evinced, (14)
Burning
desire, sojourn finished,
Forgot
the creator, time vanished,
Vanished
asset assertive strength,
Burnt
desires illusive, at length. (15)
