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!

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!!!

Thanks Richard, you really threw me off with this one!I really liked a lot about this write, I knew it was from a skilled poet but the characters defect well... was not thinking it was you, then I saw the note and thought ...I wonder...great empathetic write, thanks for the entry!

Thanks John, I wanted to take the piece in the opposite direction of the norm in hopes it might stand apart. Thanks for adding it to the list.
