Desire


I look from afar
unattainable
unavailable
inaccessible

I look in awe
amazement
wonderment
admiration

I imagine
envisage
make believe
fantasize

I wish
yearn
long
crave

I desire
I desire
I desire
I desire

Hi Keith! This is fantastic. I read it out loud and could totally imagine it being recited on stage in some incredible play. It has such a beautifully powerful energy.

i can really feel the emotion behind the one word descriptions. they are powerful words describing powerful feelings

Ooh, lovely! I like the repetition at the end of the poem; it drives home the emotion.

Mary Timme said...

The photo in the background is so enchanting I could hardly get to the words. I think I'm having a really visual day as I'm having that reaction a lot. But the repetition works too.
