if granted a boon
to have object of desire
seeking nothing else
holding thus our attention ...
fickle proves our devotion

Object of desire.
Funny phrase. I mean
How ridiculous!
Fantasy's best scene
Viewed through passion's fire
Oughta be more keen
Oughta be more dire
Than mere object.

an object of desire
flies by like a comet
so close and yet so far

it is but the playfulness 
of cosmic consciousness 
inviting us to tango dance

do we perspire
or do we conspire

it’s up to us

Premium Member Love Speaks

Love speaks no other language besides its own Blind to faults of the object of desire Deaf to subtle warnings or loud protestations Love sees only blue skies and beauty featuring When cupid shoots his arrow, dipped in a potion of love None can dissuade unless the arrow is broken! ~*~

Missing You

She was wonderful and powerful
My object of desire
Her smooth clean face so beautiful
The apple of my eye

My love she had an accident
She fell from up on high
I found her broken body there
'Twas lying on the ground

Now all I have's her memory
The songs we used to share
Oh how I miss that ipod
My heart it megahertz


Chasing

chasing after something 
unattainable never leads 
to any were at all that one 
would like to go 
chasing after some external 
object of desire in order to try
and attain internal happiness is
the wrong way to go
chasing external forces 
leads to internal sadness 
when one does not in the end 
obtain the object of their chase

Bella

Her story quietly injected derives no form of recollection
But if a picture spoke a thousand words
Look to the background, You will see no humming birds.
As camouflaged beneath Bella's sultry brown eyes
You will witness the face that launched a thousand tearful cries 
An object of desire yet devoid of affection
Painful now finds Bella, Her own beautiful reflection

Chroniker

Upon the object of desire
Overwrought the eye had been set
Flaunting that of what’s required
Needs that never once had been met
Minute by minute I would yearn
Infinite hunger had risen
In my slumber nimble I’d turn
Vivid her outline would glisten
Miles and miles I’ve traveled
Though a greater distance awaits
Forth may said conquest unravel
Everlasting may we equate
Redundant be such secrecy
Prosperous be thy recipe

Dance to the depths delight
Swirling in sun blue light
Pick then the perfect line
On point as in Ondine
Twirl and fall to this far
So know now who you are
Lone in waves once content
To life's lyrics well spent
Your song sounding still right
Wet whirls glow in the night




couplet  10 lines  53 words
11/13/22
Ondine is a ballet play
about a water nymph who
is the object of desire 
of a young prince

Hedonic Treadmill

I need a newer, bigger, better, object of desire.
My friend has purchased just the thing and really stoked the fire.
I’ll work another shift to find the money it will cost.
And never give a single thought to memories I have lost.

But for a moment caught in time, I’ll have the very best.
Look down upon my peers below me, scrambling and stressed.
It looks so grand just sitting there, my friends all ah and ooh
I’m quite ashamed to say I've not a clue what it will do.
