Desire's desire
Desire glides on moonbeams
To shower silver
On supple, rippling waves
Of darting silver streams
Of dark tresses
Of obsessive dreams
Weaves threadbare tales
Of panting longings
Held together by anticipation
In breath held,in gasps
Between the longing
And anticipation
Desire lives and dies
Many reincarnations
To burn on the pyre of fulfillment
Be the moon
Always a little out of reach
And I will live every moment
In the longing
In the perseverance
In the anticipation
In hope
