Circle of Confinement

... confining the mind, how dire
Bound to an inner desire
Primordial thoughts transpire
comes covers me, and hovers free

Enslaved to the thoughts, a prison
Devoid of Transcending reason
To whom do I dare to listen?
Overwhelming, never-ending

When a man is a beast, consuming
The soul at the time seems soothing
But when contemplated, looming
Towards disaster, much faster

Desire, a flame ever-burning
A fire untamed, discerning
All that I know, can such yearning
Be the right way, or will it be...
