Desire-Aspire-Perspire-Inspire but, don't Expire!
Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
Then, as a single snowflake flares and flickers upon voicing its final breath, so two eyes make silent conversation with mine. A face as iridescent as candle-fire purls verse and poetry. My eyes read her every intent as a wave of recollections floods my senses.
Craig Froman
Eros, again now, the loosener of limbs troubles me,Bittersweet, sly, uncontrollable creature.
Sappho
And still the brain continues to yearn, continues to burn, foolishly, with desire. My old man's brain is mocked by a body that still longs to stretch in the sun and form a beautiful shape in someone else's gaze, to lie under a blue sky and dream of helpless, selfless love, to behold itself, illuminated, in the golden light of another's eyes.
Meg Rosoff
I seek to be moved, my imagination reborn.Let me feast on poems that feed my hunger.
Susie Clevenger
Oh no. Don't smile. You'll kill me. I stop breathing when you smile.
Tessa Dare
I envy people that know love. That have someone who takes them as they are.
Jess C. Scott
Miki-san... do you truly want that person's dream to come true? Or is it that you want to be that person's savior for making that dream come true? If you're going to fulfill someone else's dream, that's the time when it's most important to be sure you know your own wish. The two might seem the same, but they're entirely different.
Magica Quartet
Life is a game, you live so you play. Follow your dreams and win what your happy heart desires.
Roel van Sleeuwen
Their pleasures are fierce and their sleep impenetrable. And they know that the body has a soul in which the soul has no part.
Albert Camus
A fit, healthy body that is the best fashion statement
Desire acts as a honey trap to the unwary male, luring him into unworthy and catastrophic enterprises. The beauty of the Narnian witches isn't ancillary to their evil, but integral to it, one of the weapons in their arsenal. Evil must, after all, appear attractive if it's going to be tempting, and from there it's only a small step further to the conclusion that feminine beauty is inherently wicked.
Laura Miller
She hates everything that is not what she longs for.
George Eliot
My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfilment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied my desire or not, nothing would come of it. Had a fairy come and offered to fulfil my desires I should not have known what to ask. If in moments of intoxication I felt something which, though not a wish, was a habit left by former wishes, in sober moments I knew this to be a delusion and that there was really nothing to wish for. I could not even wish to know the truth, for I guess of what it consisted. The truth was that life is meaningless.
Leo Tolstoy
Thou art a votary to fond desire
William Shakespeare
I feel alive when you kiss me.
Missy Lyons
I do believe there are things that we desire that are not in the cards. But more often than not, when people have a desire for a relationship and it's not happening, there are probably issues to be resolved and issues people could work on that would ultimately end in that desire being fulfilled.
Henry Cloud
Kiss me. My lips are on fire.You, my friend, are the object of mysecret desire.
Lisa Canfield
INTENT reveals desire; ACTION reveals commitment.
Steve Maraboli
I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.
Jeanette Winterson
