Illegal entrants--a poem

Restlessness Desire Longing Are now constant companions Travelling with meWithin meThey have made themselves comfortable
They arrived as touristsOn a travellers  visaBut somehow managed to linger onNo force could banish them
My heart , my thoughtsAre yours nowMy soulSubsumed, consumed, blazingBurning 
I live in restless hopeI  longingly dream Of making the journeyAcross the milesThe desire to be with you And to linger on.
Just like my  travelling companionsI hopeTo stayTill eternity In your arms.
