Love Vs Lust

In love, the other is important, in lust you are important.... Osho 



Glossy red lips sensual in lustful desire
radiating within, a fire of wanton pleasure 
eyes meet, in subtle spark of excitement
captured too close, find a buried treasure 

Love smiles for no reason, intimate thoughts
in sussurus gaze, drift  to  delirious oblivion
a bunch of white lilies, all throbbing with life
candle flickering forever, in a night obsidian

Glistening skin, pulsating fantasy of touch
adrenaline impatient, Isn't that getting late?
Lust says, I am wild thrill , vulnerable in trust 
Love says, "For spring, my flowers can wait".
