A STATE OF MIND

A  STATE  OF  MIND

by Dr. Mahendra Bhatnagar

My desires are oppressed

And restive

To find expression!

My lustful desires

Are carefully preserved by me

In a lone, hidden place,

In the hope

That they will find

Their fulfillment.

My lustful desires

Are restive

And oppressed;

Yet, they are keen to actualize

Themselves

In all experiences.

But, somehow,

The atmosphere is laden

With tear-gas,

Leaving me to weep

Unto myself; Or,

Suffer wrath of the unfulfilled desires!
