Love whispers gently to my heart Heralding the ache when we’re apart Lust beckons with senses of affection Reflecting on the desire in our connection Love compels me to free all my emotions Creating feelings that are full of devotions Lust delights in touching my naked skin Stroking my waist with a desire to begin Love urges me to feel free in my compassion Liberating me to the need to ignore fashion Lust stimulates my spirit’s core with a thrill Teaching me to be thankful for longing’s skill Love colors my world with vivid hues of scarlet Exposing the ways I could have been a harlot Lust opens the door to feelings of pure yearning Touching my depths with a fire that keeps burning Love encompasses me with feelings of concern Coaching me to believe in the sensitivity I will learn Lust embraces me with a pure and gentle craving For the secret tenderness which is so lifesaving Love amazes me with it’s beautiful faith in feelings Summoning me to recall all the joy in my dealings Lust fills my spirit with so many hot-blooded emotions Flowing through my core the way of misty blue oceans Love lingers within my sensations creating a promise That all prayers will be in spite of the doubting Thomas Lust breathes in my pores, opening the door to fascination Filling my mind and thoughts with an enthusiastic elation Love or Lust Poetry Contest Sponsored by: D.W.

without lust, Love can not be true....well, not for Lovers though friendships will do....but when the Soul wants a mate....a huge helping of lust must be on the plate....for that is why infidelity strikes....whatever your mate wants, it must be done right....and by that i mean how it is wanted....that way the Love can be forever flaunted....i REALLY like this regina....great job my friend....;)
