I Am Desire

I am Desire 

I have made some people happy 

I have made others sad 

Some people cannot handle my power 

I am desire- 

I am as hot as a ball of fire 

I am as bright as a shooting star 

I am as small as a grain of sand 

I can be as enormous as a mountain- Desire- 

Touch me- inhale me- incite me- capture 

My essence 

Love me- for I am desire- 

Some people know what to do with me 

Others use me unwisely- 

I am yours for the taking 

Men want to own me 

Women pray for me 

Some people embrace me- others- 

Spread me across the plains 

While others distribute me within the nations- Desire- 

I have traveled through time and space- through 

Generations and Race 

I am older than humanity- older than thought 

I have been around forever- I will be here- for eternity 

For- I am Desire-
