I "borrowed" the title of this one from a fantasic german movie that I saw ages ago, and which still comes back to haunt me often...

WINGS OF DESIRE

Looking in on love and sex,
feigning a scientific distance,
perched precariously on this life
with wings of desire
ready to take flight
and crash dive into a sea of troubles,

Don’t it make you feel so blue
that all you have to offer
this humanity
is a spiritual hunger?
