Analysis of THE FIRE OF DESIRE
The fire’s burning in the heart,
Desire inside is waiting to impart,
But “the how” is still unknown,
Still, the beast is urging to be shown.
The talent is priceless as an art,
Nothing’s stopping it when it’s going to make a start,
The beast of aspiration is unleashing,
Day by day, its vigor is increasing.
The aptitude to do anything is profound,
It’s certainly going to make others astound
The knowledge contained is very deep,
Has to awaken the mastery which is still asleep.
