Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Lust

Her stage is set   
lighting casts a soothing glow 
he flirts and fantasizes   
his desires will soon be known 
  
a game, a tease, each other pleads 
playing as they please 
until both bored you see 
  
tossed aside with yesterday's ride 
real hearts relegated to cry 
waiting and withering within reality 
  
lust just a fake faux pas 
so seemingly innocent 
requesting of peace for pause 
  
herein lies love without feelings 
an euphoric exhilaration   
not explained to the weak 
  
driven and determined 
foraged but not forgiven 
in a monolithic 
multiple personality twist

Faraz Ajmal May 8, 2018 at 8:57 AM Ahh, it s a really lovely and deep poem, really enjoyed reading it, the lust is temporarily with the pwriod of time it will finish from one person and you ll lust for other, but love is permanent, in it body or face doesn t matter, the thing which matters is soul and even decades later you ll find that person attractive, only if you truly love that person, a really nice written poem

Lin Lane May 4, 2018 at 6:50 PM Even with the obvious difference between the words, monolithic and multiple, the last verse works. Nicely done, Tim.

Jan Allison May 4, 2018 at 3:24 PM Brilliantly penned with great alliteration Tim, a vivid description of lust - love the lines 'tossed aside with yesterday's ride real hearts relegated to cry waiting and withering within reality':-) hugs Jan xx
