Desire is imagination's best offering - Renee Gregorio
(from New Mexico poetry renaissance, ed. by Sharon Niederman and Miriam Sagan)

Desire

 By Sanjeev Naik
Ominous rain filtering in through
the clouds that collude in conference
to trap the light - light years of travel
and now stopped cold by water and
dust. But light prevails - peeking
through, voyeuring into my bedroom
window through translucent curtains
that are no match for her resolve.
There is a certain order to things
- every morning she arrives to wake me
stealing dreams and spiriting away
the last vestiges of reality.

Maybe one of these days I will trap her
in a hall of mirrors and never
let her go.

Sanjeev D. Naik
