Greed

A ravenous appetite for an empathizing soul
An unquenchable thirst for the knowledge of the whole
A strong desire to swim across the sea to the mole

I covetously search for a person, inorder to reveal
Unspoken truths, to remove the unhindered veil
To let him/her know how lonely I feel, how abandoned I feel

I pine for a being, who could pull me out from the depths of the abyss
I pine for a being, who could defend me from the serpent's * kiss
I pine for a being, who could permeate this void with nothing but bliss


I beseech the Almighty, to liberate me from the shackles of this treacherous quagmire
I yearn for 'the water' in my life to extinguish the revolting fire
I beseech the Almighty to come out in the open, clothed in a humanoid attire

I crave for a shoulder to cry on, a shoulder like no other
A person, who in my difficult times would act like the tether
Oh Almighty, bless this bereaved soul with a brother**


P.S : I didn't do much work on this poem. Just spent about 10 minutes on it. Pardon me. I know I did not do justice to it. Did not want to leave this page empty for long :)

* Serpent as in a sly and treacherous person
** Brother, not in the literal sense. Brother as in an associate or a companion
