Desires
The every desire forever burns
Because desire is a forever burning fire
Already learnt to once more learn
If for once do the mind tire
Do you know when to let go?
Does it not feed more after said?
And what happens tomorrow?
Something you think of... not await?
Quench shall be the desired unmet
For undesired shall never be
Where desires forever needs be fed
Where the undesired never to see
Is there something you need?
Is the world beyond your control?
Have you the desire you did not know to feed?
What is it that you think you hold?
That peculiar desire in every way
Because only for you will you ever know
Without words to understand what you say
Simply... what desires can never show
