Moonlight Dwelling

I have desires
Dreams of longing
Desires of being
That one true love
One that makes me complete
Desires burning
Desires fleeing
At what can't be
Desires are not attained
Desires unfulfilled
Just out of reach
Will that day ever come
When desires become
A part of reality
Instead of images in my head
Daydreams of what could be
But will it ever end that way
Desires met or desires destroyed
May desires be mine
