No Escape Poem by nafisa baheranwala

Eyes blazing with desire
That transcends all peaks
A response from the beloved
It desperately seeks

Like a moth drawn
To the flame
Trembling with desire
Fully aware it will be burnt by the fire

Irresistible attraction
That fatally pulls one close
To be burnt so wholly
From the head to the toes

Drowning deep
And still deeper
In the pools of your eyes
They are the mirrors
That tell no lies

Consumed thoroughly
One can only gape
And surrender thoroughly
For there's now no escape
