Love and Lust

A feeling of overwhelming desire With intense eagerness you crave Leaves your body feeling on fire Emotional feelings you are depraved Intense burning sexual appetite Leaves you a manipulating deceiver Not caring what's wrong or right Not caring if it's loves true believer Tangled sheets, bodies sweaty Relief from an overwhelming urge Just two bodies rocking steady Your need for a satisfactory purge Thoughts of only self-gratification Definitely a dubious human quality Though it's a pleasurable implication Being a big part of our own sensuality You see what I have describe is lust Love is something that holds much more Where with one there’s no meaning or trust And the other one can make your heart soar

Very sensual words that awakens the imagination. Yet lust sprinkled with love can lead to desire that kindled can last a lifetime:)

Nicely done, Brenda, you make the distinction clear in the last stanza and your descriptions of lust are spot on. All the best. Hugs, John
