Love Or Lust
In the large cabin of emotions,
In thought’s chemical explosion,
When physical form is appealing,
What name do you give that feeling?
you stand invitingly at bedroom door,
Your beauty for my eyes to explore,
That sensuous smile that says ‘Yes’!
Is it love or lust with which we caress?
Like white swan in a flock of geese,
Can’t pick lust from love with ease,
You can rarely tell the two apart,
Lust may be love when we start!
Many forms of love exist without lust,
Like purity of our creation from dust,
That love transcends in Mum’s heart,
In purity of such love, lust has no part!
Even medical science has no answer,
it may have conquered some cancer,
When it is about human love or lust,
It throws up its hands and goes bust!
