Basic Instincts

 Intuitively

Glowing, seductive.

Snooping, itch to know more

Irresistible dragging’s from within the core

Ablaze stare for a foretaste, but yields eye full

Having to belie the twitch and scuttle, or drift down to the pill

Beyond boundaries boarder less, dreams flooded slide,

Mists of pleas preventing one’s flight yonder glide

All comes alive, the last breath, the last shout, last look,

 the last beat’ the last throb and even last prayer.

Stop the enflamed glows jumping from fist. Stop!

With no ifs and buts;

Beams beeping Brilliance

 Bitterly bright

My basic instincts

    I like how you described the pills as ‘seductive’ but also mentioned ‘no ifs and buts’. It alludes to the idea that there is no choice. It grips you. It controls you. A lovely piece! Thanks for contributing, Shashi. 🙂

    I like the mists of pleas preventing flight, like water condensation on wings.
