What has been denied…what has been espied!: A poem 

Do you know desire can become so imminent a fire 

that it ceases to be an illusion and snaps all boundaries 

between imagination and reality! So that what you fantasise 

becomes a truth of reckoning; even the mirror gives you that feeling! 

There are the woods that beauty gets you into! An enchanted castle, 

that seems achievable to access, even if daunting. These are the doldrums  

of infantile infatuation. The smoothness of hide, the curl of lips,  

the apparent freedom of curls, the strength of lure, the humongousness 

of physical breath, trapped in whispery moments, the darkness  

of undercovers; a sexploit, an escapade that cannot be withheld, for the 

pangs of crimsonness of blood exchanged. Adrenaline’s honey 

soaked in glands and expended in sensory mirth! You must think,  

that galaxies move in unison with the fabric of space-time? Then why does science  

explain it as a chaos? Are mergers libidinous unions or a gnawing 

foraging? I think now, I was kind to myself for not just succumbing; 

or even that circumstance dissuaded or purged me! In loneliness, 

I have retained my more sincere aspirations for another day, even 

though encumbered was I by the call of duty. Pangs can enrapture,  

ensure a wildness that cause a loss of you to a wilderness. They are better 

put in a silver foil and left in the freezer. Seemingly temporal temporary  

weather is no beatitude for the latitude of platitude. It must be understood 

that what you deserve the most becomes yours only when you deny  

yourself of other things the most!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
