D - Desire

The world can call me anything

I'm something that money can't buy

They scorn at my bright red lips

While I fly free like a butterfly

I am a woman, tall and proud

Not burdened by the conventional norm

I choose to live life on my terms

I'm not shaken by the rain or storm

My body is my creation of art

I adorn it with things I love

I don't have to answer anyone

I'm only responsible to the one above

Love for me is a scary feeling

The safe bet always seems to be lust

It lasts for a while and wanes away

While love somewhere turns into dust

I'd rather stay alone and live my way

I do not want anything to tie me down

I want to depend only on myself

Being responsible for my smile and frown

Then one fine day, you came along

Enveloping me with your presence

I got entangled in your aura

Flowed along your hypnotic essence

You filled up every sense of mine

My soul split craving for you

The way you feature in my dreams

Oh dear, if only you knew

Come near to me, my Adonis

Lets come together and create fire

For now, let love take a back seat

Just for once, be my desire
