Desire of Soul

Lost sixty years to locate where from
An aversion erupts and vexes my whole,
in and out, out and out.
What not have I got? Right from a doll
to play with to an alive nymph . A hut
Dilapidated, now looks a palace incarnated.
Yet dissatisfaction, a pain of void of nothingness.

A ragpicker, bent down, sitting tight
 beneath a tree, flinging off his goatish load.  
 He heaves a sigh, to enjoy dissolution.
Him I envy ! For he has shaken off his 'intimate' burden!
O His Majesty, I feel, cares little for the purse 
he lives on. 
A free soul, least concerned with what's bagged, 
For his life and soul are not conflated. 
Soul yearns for beatitude by denying 
Earthly load. 
 A ragamuffin despises, though awhile, his
Bag of life. 
And listens to his call of soul–
Why should I, for so long, craving for only gold? 
Not, for a single moment, I've relieved my self
From the soul-less tons of joy to my help .
