Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

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
