Vicious Circles

There she is enticing you
Stripping slowly and teasing you.
You run after her in the hope
To grab, hold with strong rope.

Different forms, different sizes
In some unique ways she entices.
Takes away your sleep and peace
Dreams you weave of going to Greece.

Green in colour, a fresh huge bundle
She takes the form you can’t handle.
More is never enough you know
You Loose sleep over inflow-outflow.

That seat of gold, that glittering crown
She beckons you and makes you frown.
Filled with thorns this seat of glitter
You end up nowhere, not even in gutter.

Accolades and praise is another seduction
Run if you may from this addiction.
It eats into you and you become a victim
Of what they want and follow their dictum.

Then she takes the form you just can’t resist
She gets naked, and as much you desist
You loose your complete senses
Lust overcomes you and breaks your fences.

This is how she makes you run to cave
She your owner and you her lifeless slave.
You loose all that you have in this chase
And you are trapped in a closed maze.

Life becomes a maze of lost hopes and dreams
You left alone, no one to hear your hollow screams.
You keep running around in circles, devious
These circles of greed, ah! How vicious.
