A Thousand Desires

This post is not my work. I found this poem and really really liked it so thought of sharing it here.

A Thousand Desires such as these(Hazaaron Khwahishen Aisi)

A thousand desires such as these

A thousand moments to set this night on fire

Reach out and you can touch them

You can touch them with your silences

You can reach them with your lust

Rivers mountains rain

Rain against a torrid hill’s cape

A thousand

A thousand desires such as these

I loved rain as a child

As a lost young man

Empty landscapes

Bleached by a tired sun

And then

And then suddenly it came

Like a dark unknown woman

Her eyes scorched my silences

Her body wrapped itself around me

Like a summer without end

Pause me, hold me, reach me,

Where no man has gone

Crossing the seven seas

With the wings of fire

I fly towards nowhere

And you

Rivers mountains rain

Rain against a scorched landscape of pain

A thousand desires such as these

A thousand moments to set this night on fire

Reach out and you can touch them

You can touch them with your silences

You can reach them with your lust

Rivers mountains rain

Rain against a torrid hill’s cape

A thousand

A thousand desires such as these
