Desires

Men always desire for women and wealth, Women desire men, family and wealth, Desire only seems to be fulfillment postponed, It is the dream of the lust in our hearts adored. The fire of desires ravages in our minds, The flames seem to erupt scorching the entire universe, The desires have no quenching in sight, The waves of desires cascade endlessly on the shores of life. Desire and enjoy not the things we have, Always looking forward to things we don't have, Is it the lust or greed in our soul? Or is it a dream or an endless lifelong goal? The lack of desire, I may not desire, The life will be dull, the dreams will be void, The quench of my desire, I may admire, Life will be full; happiness will be achieved.

We all have individual desires. When we are able to satisfy them, we feel happy. With no desire, life will surely be dry ! Beautiful entry for the contest.

Excellent word choice. By this time of my life. I have only one desire . To not feel sick from what a doctor's medicine did to me.
