My Name Is Desire | A Deep Sad Poem About Identity & Longing

My name is Desire.

Raast, they ask me for my name.Tell them

a name is merely a pretext for an identity.

For beneath every name, there lives a desire for something.

Some long for someone to return, some long to find themselves,

and some long to meet their Lord.

So tell them

whatever the name, whatever the story,

in the end, every identity

quietly gathers into a single word: " Desire "

" My name is Desire "

(Raast)
