Licit Illicit

He desired her
He knew it illicit
And yet he couldn't

He knew her
He knew it licit 
And yet he did

She knew him
She knew it licit
And yet she did

She desired him
She knew it illicit
And yet she didn't

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
