I love this short poem.
His use of "desire" can be read on different levels. On one level we can read this as a love poem and he is simply referring to a man's desire for a woman. But that first line and the final line, they unfold into deeper layers of meaning. His desire can be understood as desire for the Eternal -- sacred yearning.
On that path, there is only one step, then one disappears into the Beloved!
