Edward Ibeh Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Lust Vs Love

In love, we grow and flourish.
          In lust, we lose our moral sense. 

     Love is a virtue worth more than gold.
       Lust is one of the seven deadly sins. 

   Love deeply penetrates the heart and soul. 
  Lust dies and rots on the surface of the flesh

              Love is a healing sunshine. 
               Lust is a destructive flood. 

                 Love's candle endures. 
            Lust's candle quickly dims out.

         Any guesses which one I'd choose?
