Lust

He said, “Everything about lust 
has already been written!”
Every person, man or woman 
at some time will be smitten
Lust can be fetish, 
she dresses like a kitten
Romantic and soft 
on a bed of white linen 
Others want it hard 
they long to be bitten
A few have been rubbed 
with a sensuous mitten

Some search for lust 
they are okay with paying
Choosing a body
pushing deep until they’re weeping
Who knows the secrets 
many people are keeping
Lust can be confusing 
it messes up our feelings
Yet somehow lust’s pulsations 
are way beyond appealing
Clinging and groping
looking up at the ceiling

Holding hands while walking
or lust on a table
Wheelchairs or walkers 
each will do what they are able
Images in fairytales 
or sexy found on night time cable
It gets under our skin 
makes us feel so insatiable
Although the faces change 
lust is still the right label
No one has been immune
not even Adam Eve or Able

Hi Richard, your creativity sings once more. There is ever lust. You, in your own inimitable style, play lust like a violin virtuoso. This is a little poetic jewel my friend. Your skillful pen paints such an excellent canvas. Another fave my friend. Have a wonderful Friday. Your friend always....Mike.

This poem captures the essence of this seductive emotion, Richard. Another splendid dive into the swirling sea of carnality. Coming up for air w/your soul intact is the spiritual key to survival. Your pen floats rather well, I presume. Excellent poem w/depth and forthrightness. Love and smiles.

It was amusing exchanging lust with dust and reading my own poem.;0)

Hmmm, methinks a few people are immune from it. They have a name for it but it's not coming to me yet. Anyway, I really like this one. It's a very entertaining read. Loved the line about wheelchairs and walkers. haha. by them, the lust has gone down somewhat!! Also "rubbed with a sensuous mitten" was so cute!!
