A poem about desire for love.

_Longing_

The need   
The need is dire   
The need to crave   
 Drained of body   
 And of mind   
 The need controls   
 Body succumb   
To the need

The craving   
 The craving in need   
 To crave what's pure   
 Body is mind   
 Body is broken   
 Craving shudders   
 Mind crashing   
To the craving

The want   
 The want for love   
The want to learn   
 Accept surroundings   
 Drink in the light   
 The want complies   
 Thoughts determined   
Of the want

The desire   
 The desire for need   
 The desire for others   
Corrupt in thought   
Breaking, eroding   
 Desire the embers   
Ideas compelled   
For the desire

The need is constant   
The cravings are instant   
The want is calling   
 Body sighs   
 Mind listens   
 Desire is screaming   
 This is evident:   
Patience in Longing.
