Lust and Passion

We were so young--
Stones were emeralds to us
This was lust and passion; not love.

lust burns with a passion that's unheard of....lust burns with a passion that can elevate to Love....lust burns with a passion that just cant be denied....lust burns with a passion that has left many tears cried....;)

Sandy, this is an excellent senryu (to me) Lust and love are the easiest emotions we humans fall into. I have a daughter she's in love with a man, sadly after so many years of exuberance, I know he's only lust-ing on my daughter. The heart is foolish. However so sweet

I really do feel what you felt towards this man..it is so painful to realize that they weren't searching for love when you were searching for it.. thank you for your words!
