Desire



​I saw a book in library,

I wanted to read it,

I bought  it from a book shop,

I no more want to read it,

It is still craving for touch,

Somewhere inside my bookshelf.



I saw a food vlog,

I had an urge to taste that recipe,

I ordered it from a place,

I am no more hungry,

I just lost my appetite.



I saw a lonely guy,

I wanted to share his loneliness,

I suffocated him with love,

Now we barely  know each other.

About this poem

About the irrational cravings during normal days.
