Heart’s desire is a dangerous dream to fulfill
Maybe it’s why it has to break a number of times
To get a really good peek of what’s in it
And the impurity of mine
Is not entirely of my own
The dread of time running out
The hunger based on a line
I should be crossing
A stone marking a mile I must pass
To be deemed successful
Maybe the new wish
Is to be fulfilled quietly
Consistently
As a breath of fresh air
With certainty
That the bad times
Are but cohorts with what’s good
To lie with you within an arms length
If not how you held me close
Let me be close
But never truly wanting
Keeping a light that may burn
Until the sun comes
Until the warmth
In all colors including gray
Capture the fire
That is the heart’s desire…
