Lust

In a speck of time
Instant gratification
Vanishes entombed

Karen What a strong and powerful write in so few words. Gratification does not last forever, but while its here, lets enjoy it. Nice job Thanks for the lovely comment on my Pure and White poem.

Oh my dear Karen. I've come to expect so much more when choosing one of your poems. In my opinion, and it's just my personal opinion, lust requires more than just three lines. You've put it in a nutshell, but I believe it requires fore thought, action and after thought. But I agree that the after thought always remains entombed in our mind. Only to be revisited in retrospect with either joy or regret. But it can never be erased. I hope all of yours are with joy. Rockman :-)

so many chose lust over love and it fades too quickly...oh but both can be as powerful as your words!

This is profound, Karen. Instant gratification is always eventually, followed by a huge "let down"...well spoken, Karen. Love, Annalise
