Open Thread: Desire

Hosted by penguins in love

Let these be your desires

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself 

But if your love and must needs have desires, 

Let these be your desires: 

To melt and be like a running brook 

That sings its melody to the night. 

To know the pain of too much tenderness. 

To be wounded by your own understanding of love; 

And to bleed willingly and joyfully. 

To wake at dawn with a winged heart 

And give thanks for another day of loving; 

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; 

To return home at eventide with gratitude; 

And then to sleep with a prayer 

For the beloved in your heart 

And a song of praise upon your lips. 

 - Khalil Gibran
