I speak but of the limits of desire,
The points where what I want and what I need
Are indistinguishable, when the dire
Necessity of wishing seems to feed
Upon itself and kindle such a flame
That nothing can extinguish it, or when
The heart can overwhelm the mind and tame
The instinct to be rational again.
I talk about the moments when insistence
Prodding against the boundaries of thought
Discovers insufficient, weak resistance
And breaks it with the feelings it has wrought.
Discussing these I cannot help but see
I fall into these traps too easily.
