D E S I R E

It has been quite a long time,

Since I’ve felt any passion or fire.

This is what reminds us we are alive –

The intensity of the most addictive drug,

Desire.

About the author

ellenthetallone

Free-spirited lover of music, travel, independence, adventures, bargain hunting and languages with a forever erratic body clock. I started exploring the art of poetry when I spent three weeks off the radar in Cuba. Detached from society. Disconnected from technology. Just my thoughts and I. I continued to write on my journey around South America, each poem accompanied by a photo. I came to realise how cathartic poetry is to express emotions. Also how powerful it is as a form of capturing memories. Photos capture a memory visually; poetry captures emotions and the way you are thinking at the time. I am living in Berlin at the moment, still writing and have decided it is time to share the thoughts in my head.

    This one gave me a bit of a think on the last line. It’s such a definitive statement of desiring being the most addictive drug and instantly makes you think if is or isn’t. But, it’s the root behind everything else you think might be more addictive, love, power, money, heroine, sex, etc. It’s all rooted in desire. Want, not need. Makes you think, can we let it all go and still feel alive?
