Is she engulfed with the same desirous feel like I am,
raring for a loving touch
but refrained by constraints,
some created by circumstances
and a few manifestations of the miscreant mind,

is she also battling many battles
in the crust of her soul
yet showing a valiant face
for she has to accost the world,

is she holding that feeling with a delirious heart,
thoughts about to spill
drowned in her vicious mind,

and the yearning she labeled as vices
does she know
that they are nothing but shades of love
and she deserves to drench her soul,
for without such love
what else life can offer?
