Desire for Mia

I desired air and I breathed.

But then,
I desired water and only when I could, I drank.
I desired food and only when I could, I ate.

Desire is all I hate.

But then I desired you and I did,
I scattered my head about the place,
Reeling synonyms and particles of guesswork,
Desiring manufacture of consent.

And when I desired you, you saw that I did,
And when you came, it was like a call
From a far off mountain, we both together,
And looked good in the abyss.

Desire has gone amiss.

What happened to my sweet compulsion?
What is this end-result?
Why the finish-line?

And slowly slowly, breath intertwined,
I saw again
The learning curve,
My thoughts relieved.

That I had once desired air
I did,
And I breathed.
