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-
