Poetwisdom is a contest offered by
, explained in this post. The theme for this week's contest is Mysteries of the Universe. Here is my entry, entitled Desire
What is it of desire
That lingers in the longing,
And in the anguish drawing
From bitterness to sweet?
A fine and fickle balance,
Passion’s paradox infused,
Dance of delicate resistance
Pervading every mood.
The wanting and the waiting,
Cycling circles like the moon,
A prayer for resolution -
But god forbid too soon.
Delight in desperation,
Chains that set us free
To love and feel and fight,
And fully live this dream.
