My heart holds like a lake <br />Sometimes real sometimes fake <br />True dreams keep me awake <br />Hope helps me to be alive <br />Love nourishes my life. <br /> <br />Memories make me cry <br />All gone in vain the efforts and try <br />Once a lie made my life a hell <br />How painful the story is to tell! <br /> <br />Benevolence increases my grace <br />Coveting is eating my soul's flesh <br /> <br />Fear is my real foe <br />Tear is not the weakness though <br />It is from the heart rainbow <br />To look afresh the life that follow. <br /> <br />Unwanted weeds grow very fast <br />So in me the greed and lust <br />Which make my life an intolerable mess. <br />Peace of the mind is at a stress. <br /> <br />I let loose my dishonesty <br />False pride- falsehood- sycophancy <br />All these are true enemies of my personality. <br /> <br />All around me there is gloom <br />To sweep away the vices I need a broom <br />And for the virtues a folder to save <br />In my heart I always pray and crave <br />I want to remain honest till I go to the grave.<br /><br />Abdul Wahab<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-i-crave-for/
