Driven By Desire

It's always best to keep some feelings
Hidden from even your mate
Not to share every innermost thoughts
When relationships are at stake

Each of us can be emotionally affected
By charm, personality and image
Doesn't mean we don't love our mates
Feelings at times hold us hostage

Human nature is what they've call it
Might as well cash in your chips
If you can't look at beauty passing by
It's there to brighten life's trip

So please don't call it illicit or immoral
When males are driven by desire
The female form is a vision of beauty
That ignites every man's fire

Carol Eastman Date: 5/1/2013 2:30:00 PM The Dragon is constantly trying to hold me hostage till he gets what he wants... It usually ends with us both in time out by the Lake... PS. Dragon has a Godzilla poster up in his cavy room... I think he's got the hots for her... I hope he doesn't try to convince her to leave Toyko... We have enough problems in America as it is!

Eileen Manassian Date: 5/1/2013 1:11:00 PM It's me again! Lovely quatrain...men are very visual beings. They were created that way. There is nothing wrong with admiring beauty...Oh...I'd wax eloquent, but I'll just say that "look but don't touch" is good advice...but also..."look and don't lust!" ;) That's hard to do, I know...but not impossible! Lovely write, Jack! :) Login to Reply

Timothy Hicks Date: 5/1/2013 10:35:00 AM And here we are again, back at this topic. It seems to have much controversy, and it all depends on the situation. I do believe there is a moment when a man crosses that line (or even a woman for that matter). But I also believe that thoughts can't be 100% controlled at all times. When thoughts turn to action, you know for a fact you've gone too far... Login to Reply
