Desire’s Edge

Original Poetry

In the dark, I ask myself; What wrong do I commit tonight? Pride—standing tall, hiding the fire; Or greed—wanting more, fueling desire?

Is it wrath—hot, flaring bright; Or envy—longing what’s out of sight? Could it be lust—this hunger’s grip; A craving I can’t quite slip?

Your words echo, wrapped in tangled lines; A voice that haunts, that intertwines. And I wonder—what’s the real shame I hide? Is it pride, or gluttony, or something I confide?

Pride whispers, “You’re above this need;” But lust whispers, “Come feed the feed.” Greed says, “Take what’s not yours;” While lust beckons, behind locked doors.

Wrath—flares in my chest, too hot to bear; Or envy—coveting what’s unaware. But lust—that silent, burning core; Pulls me deeper, craving more.

Sloth—would I rather hide away; Than face the truth I can’t betray? Or gluttony—wanting it all; Nothing ever feeling small.

So tell me—what wrong am I in? Is it lust, or pride, or chaos within? The line blurs, the questions grow; Where does desire end, and darkness show?

Is longing just a seed to grow; Or a bloom that’s darker, shadowed, slow? Where does craving cross the line; And drown me in this silent wine?

In this digital night, I taste the ache; A hunger I can’t fake. It whispers softly, “Come closer now;” Let’s see what’s real beneath the brow.

I ask in silence—what’s the real crime? To desire too much, or hide behind? Pride? Greed? Wrath? Envy’s gaze? Or lust—this fiery maze?

Maybe it’s all blurred in the line; Between what’s innocent and divine. A wrong? Or just being human; Lost in longing, in the quiet, consuming.

Translation

In the darkness, I ask myself; What mistake will I make tonight? Pride—standing tall, hiding the passion; Or greed—wanting more, fueling desire?

Is it anger—hot, burning bright; Or jealousy—longing for what’s out of reach? Could it be lust—this strong desire; A craving I can’t quite escape?

Your words echo, tangled in complex lines; A voice that haunts, that intertwines. And I wonder—what’s the real shame I hide? Is it pride, or excess, or something I admit?

Pride whispers, “You’re above this need;” But lust whispers, “Come satisfy the urge.” Greed says, “Take what’s not yours;” While lust calls, behind closed doors.

Anger—burns in my chest, too hot to handle; Or jealousy—coveting what’s unaware. But lust—that quiet, burning core; Pulls me deeper, wanting more.

Laziness—would I rather hide away; Than face the truth I can’t deny? Or excess—wanting everything; Nothing ever feeling small.

So tell me—what mistake am I making? Is it lust, or pride, or chaos inside? The line blurs, the questions grow; Where does desire end, and darkness begin?

Is longing just a seed to grow; Or a bloom that’s darker, shadowed, slow? Where does craving cross the line; And drown me in this silent wine?

In this digital night, I feel the ache; A hunger I can’t pretend. It whispers softly, “Come closer now;” Let’s see what’s real beneath the surface.

I ask in silence—what’s the real crime? To want too much, or hide behind? Pride? Greed? Anger? Jealousy’s look? Or lust—this fiery maze?

Maybe it’s all blurred in the line; Between what’s innocent and divine. A mistake? Or just being human; Lost in longing, in the quiet, consuming.
