Quicksand of Bliss

To lust is to live a life of loss and 
lies,
the heart is decietful; swift to hit.
Our desires are but dangers in 
disguise, mere illusions of a 
quest to quit.

This fragrant fire will soon turn 
a flame;
a fiery heat of what we are 
missing.
Lust is an excuse to shun all 
shame,
in freaky flirting and kinky 
kissing. 

The rush of emotion 
oveshadows
the true intention of our 
experience,
as caution jumps out through 
the window,
confusion creeps in...in tearful 
silence.

To lust is to tame a terrible toy,
only to give it to a mindless miss;
it is a pleasant pain random men 
enjoy
as they drown in the quicksand 
of bliss.
