True, pure desire is born of truth
It lives only in fidelities trust
It cannot lie nor cheat in deed or thought
and expires at the touch of lust.

Where the heart is, desire must follow
Even into the depths of decadence and shame
and when it dies, it leaves it’s shadow
upon self-indulgent want’s wretched placed blame

Wrong desires are born of deceit
Deluded thoughts of bittersweet feed
On spoiled love and distorted passion
Leaving an empty shell of burnt out need.

A heardend soul and dulled heart aches
when it forgets the meaning, “all others to forsake”.


**inspired by a sermon by Charles Stanley**

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Dulcinea, this is so very true, sadly and unfortunately there are many desires that fail to be sacrificed and then it only brings out the worst grief in someone, whereas true desires are those we truly feel for and will inevitably lead us to joy and justice for the heart! (kiss on cheek) This is touching, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dulcinea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

A profound truth, well stated Dulcie! It's so good to read you again. Kacy

Indigo, Thank you so much! I am humbled by your response! Thank you!

Lyra, it was a late night! I am so glad you stopped by, I am hoping I can spend more time reading soon and it brightens my day just to see a poem posted from you, someday I hope to add some replies, though I doubt I could keep up with Jeff!

Kacy! It has been a long time! What is this I hear about you moving to Colorado? How are you doing anyhow? It is so good to see you, thank you!

Dulcie darling heart OH My this is excellent writing really excellent. Wherever the inspiration came from you have moulded it into a beautiful confection of spun delight. It is always a pleasure to read you, you do write so perfectly.

You have to know I love this utterly utterly

Inside the dream to write the line
The thought takes on a shape of fine
And written down in smile or tear
The thought is etched on pages dear
The truth revealed for all to see
Written in heart’s inked poetry
Take not the pain without the sun
In hope and love a soul’s begun
To write the thought show the face
To tell of heart’s limping race
Within the soul the light must shine
Inside the dream you write the line

Thank you darling heart this is superb writing truly one of your finest


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy



Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Dulcinea, I watch Charles Stanley every sunday morning before church. Though he is a fine preacher, he didn't say it this well. Nice poem.
