Perpetual Desires
Desires are perpetual in nature,
ranging in size from quantum to enormous.
They beget passion, power, control,
strength, money, and love.
Desires turn naïve souls into monsters,
never satisfied, always craving more.
Perhaps the elixir of life on Earth
is desire itself—undeniable, unrelenting.
A life devoid of desire
makes the very act of existence questionable.
Unfulfilled desires
leave their owner desire-deficit,
yet he borrows new inspirations
to nurture new desires.
Just as economic transactions keep an economy alive,
it is desire that keeps humankind dreaming,
moving — reaching and becoming.
Believe it or not,
even the greatest hermit
desires to find the divine.
Desire to be read and appreciated —
a poem's subtle longing
also belongs to the poet's perpetual desires.
