The throb of the yielding heart,

Yielding yet unyielding

The throb of love

The throb of hate

The throb of love that inspires hate

The throb of pity

Of pleasure

Of heartfelt desire

Of mad passion

Of greed

Of need

Of thirst

Of hunger

The throbbing, the pain

The endless convulsions of the feeble heart

Yielding, unyielding

Giving, ungiving

In tussle, in compromise

In myriads more

Breaking , unbreaking…
