Desire
by Narriman Taylor
Desire is the longing for something to obtain
The longing for possessions of which we can retain
Children desire simple things that make their heart rejoice
Singers desire harmony to sound out with sweet voice
Old men desire young ladies to make them feel brand new
Young ladies desire older men with wealth and power too
Spring desires flowers to wash away winters gray
Sweet smells of honeysuckle that brighten up the day
A rainbow desires a pot of gold to sit beneath it's arch
Kites desire gusty winds that come along in March
A hand desires another hand to hold, a mouth lips to kiss
A heart desires true love, friendship, strength, an eager wish
Out of all of these desirable things this one fact is true
I desire you---
