Gone the primitive desire to create <br />Now the desire is to enjoy <br />To wrap ourselves in moments of bliss <br />But are we ready for the pain <br /> <br />Opening ourselves to moments <br />Searching forever for completeness <br />Facing the onslaught <br />When all falls apart <br /> <br />We expose our hearts <br />Everytime we search <br />Then face the pain <br />That comes from our desire <br /> <br />Maybe pain is desire <br />Maybe we seek it <br />Not peace but war <br />Turmoil is that our destiny?<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-pain-or-desire/
