Timeless Ache

Love is like the feathered yearns, 
Warm silky in exposed churns, 
Beastly joy with pain to clutch,
Hot thrills within the yielded touch;

Still we learn true love is vain,
Reckless mind in fear of pain,
Exposed dreams as real heart burn;
Dig or bury satiated fun?

There is pain with no true love...?
For we seek desire with lust.
