Richard Lamoureux Poet Acrostic

Lusting For Loveliness

Lust has betrayed me many times
Opened me up in ways I had not imagined
Very few times have I escaped her clutches
Every time I say "Never again!"
Lonely women seem to be my weakness
I feel the pull of their longing hearts
Not knowing if it is possible to resist
Every molecule cries for their touch
So I acquiesce  to my addiction
Seeking and wanting their loveliness


Your wish is my command John.

Note: fictional write
Happily married 22 years!

Charmaine Chircop February 27, 2016 at 5:17 PM Lust can indeed betray..Its like a sugar-coated candy that cause the diabetees. Guess as human desire and lust are in our instinct,but thanks God we are blessed with reason.Awesome!!! Richard Lamoureux February 27, 2016 at 7:12 PM So true however many opt not to follow reason.
