We are the prisoners of our own desires
And we are fond of our own built cages
The day we break free of our innerselves
Is the day we are a step closer to God
The day we break free from the love of this world
Is the day we come closer to the garden of paradise
The day we snap out of these worldly bonds
Is the day our heart is enlightened with God's light
The day we fight with the lust for power
Is the day we are released from the chains of greed
The day the furnance of desires are doused
Is the day we are free from lifes seduction
The day we lift the veil of ugliness from our hearts
Is the day we find the enlightened path towards God.

I don't know if the poem I have written goes with your topic of prisioners of desire. It could be ok because it is on desire and any desire imprison's us.
Excellent post by you, loved your poem.
In Search Of Love
I have waited a life time to find you
Searched the world for love so true
Years gone by, nothing but blues
So many kisses, so many embraces
All have gone leaving their traces
So many heart aches, so many faces
Have left their mark in so many places
The journey to love was rough terrain
With broken heart and so much pain
Lonely was life that made me whine
Like Cloudy skies with no sunshine
Hope was gone till you came along
Now I knew in your arms I belong
You caressed my wounds and mended my heart
And promised that we will never be apart
Your gentle touch had a magic spell
It brought me back from my tragic hell.
Tender was your love and your kiss
I was now in eternal bliss
You wiped my tears and made me smile
I was happy for a while
My eyes opened and my heart screamed
I was indeed having a blissful dream
The search is still on for you my love
Your tender caress still lingers on
