It means that sometimes you can follow a conjugated form of the verb desear with another verb in its infinitive form.
Eg. Deseo ir a Paris.
I want to go to Paris.
Bear in mind however that this doesn't always work.
In the first example you are wishing or wanting something for yourself but when one person wishes or wants something for another person it is more likely that the verb desear will be followed by 'que' and then a verb in the subjunctive mood.
Deseo que Pablo vaya a Paris.
I want Paul to go to Paris.
