In the realm of desire, the wants take hold,
A mural of dreams and stories yet untold.
Wants that whisper, and wants that last,
The want to want until wants can’t last.

In the realm of desire, a yearning for travel calls my name,
To explore unknown lands and feel freedom between my hands,
From great vast oceans to towering mountains,
The wants of my heart reach the peak.

In the realm of desire, craving knowledge makes me burn like fire,
To seek wisdom’s treasures that others may not know,
The want to expand my mind to be its very best,
Illuminates the path to guide me through my every step.

In the realm of desire, I yearn to find kindred spirits who truly care,
In laughter and in tears, through thick and through thin,
Creating lasting memories that sparkle like sunshine,
I want my heart to find the one who’ll always win.

In the realm of desire, success is reaching the stars.
Feeling so alive, the want to achieve and strive,
Where determination and passion fuel my fire,
Allowing my dreams to take me higher and higher.

In the realm of desire, the want for good health is a precious desire.
The want to nourish my body and find a good balance,
Fuels my body, like stars in the serene night,
Empowering my spirit to grow like a blooming rose.

Dream big, embrace your wants, and let them guide your way,
Just remember the beauty in each passing day,
As they say, slow and steady wins the race,
And just remember Rome wasn’t built in a day!
Embrace your possibilities and let them take flight,
For in the pursuit of wants, is the balance of desire and contentment,
That a life of fulfillment and purpose is truly meant.
