I will get what I desire.

I will get what I desire
For I'm reaching for the higher
Though, times, I lost sights of the stair
Nevertheless I still acquire
If you think I'm looking for fire
Then you are calling me a liar.
I will get what I desire.

or

I will get what I desire
For I'm reaching for the higher
Though, times, I lost sights of the stair
Nevertheless I still sought
If you think I'm looking for fire
Please lose that thought
I will get what I desire.

I do not know much about poems but it seems dream works better than desire.

I like the second a lot better because of "lose that thought."

I was thinking of "...you're wrong, I'm not"

Ha ha, good stuff. I don't know what looking for fire means, though.

:-)

haha, I was wondering if that sentence sounded too immature but I guess it adds some humor to the poem.

Looking for fire means looking for trouble(fire will burn you) or looking to fail(when you want to achieve something great, a lot people would say "That kid is just looking for more trouble; he is going to fail." Or "That kid is just talking big (that's where calling me a liar came from)"

:)

Well, "lose that thought" is a colloquial expression that is not particularly immature. It is just colloquial. It is sort of poetic; to lose something deliberately seems to imply something more than just "to get rid of" it.

As for "looking for the fire," I think it is a great expression, but I have never heard it until now.

Well, one can always come up with new expression. :] Maybe someday this expression will become famous.

or I can use

If you think I'm playing with fire. I guess this way people might understand better.

Well, poetry is good for introducing new expressions. BUT you have to find a way to demonstrate to the reader what you mean. yes, "playing with fire" is commonly understood.
