Love or Lust

Beautiful green garden is where they camp
he kisses with care, like a hungry saint
long plays and foreplays hidden from all lamps
her heart acquires red from hormone’s paint
their shower lights up the city so fast
her nudity burns in his affection
there’s every indication this will last
his mum sees and says “that’s perfection!”
The rhythm is steady and slow in love
passion is just a dead leaf without lust
on this time, she prays for luck from above
but knowing each other more is a must
weeks passed, he cares not to know her real name
emotions stalled, she’s happy with this game.

James Horn Date: 7/5/2020 7:55:00 PM My 79th birthday was on June 26th. There is a difference between lust, love, seduction and emotion. Their differences are enough to make a good poem out of.

Joe DiMino Date: 6/29/2020 8:09:00 AM Too often people want to manipulate, when it is better to simple take the beauty preciously offered us, may there be great sums or small...if it is all someone can give, then it is everything to them and should be enough for us. Lovely poetry my friend.
Connie Marcum Wong Date: 6/28/2020 11:30:00 PM A passionate sonnet expressed creatively Funom. Sure to do well in the contest. Blessings xxoo
Kim Rodrigues Date: 6/28/2020 3:31:00 PM Oh what a sad game. Lust may be fun but it has no lasting fire. It leaves embers of broken or dissatisfied hearts. Nice sonnet!
Panagiota Romios Date: 6/28/2020 4:40:00 AM Best wishes in the contest. You expressed your well. PR
Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Date: 6/27/2020 4:16:00 PM A wonderfully written poem of passion, Funom. I think true love makes it all much sweeter and long lasting. I guess I'm a romantic. GL in the contest! Blessings, Rhonda xx
M. L. Kiser Date: 6/27/2020 12:15:00 PM Well penned piece; good luck in the contest.
S.zaynab Kamoonpuri Date: 6/26/2020 10:40:00 PM Sad it mostly ends with disinterest and disaffection and indifference this way. Yet it feels so passionate and true love while it's happening like you describe superbly that it fools people . Kudos for a great sensational poem.
Pixie Dust Date: 6/26/2020 4:51:00 PM A lovely sensual poem, thank you for sharing
eric boddie Date: 6/26/2020 2:44:00 PM too often, this is how it happens....with a soft breath on the neck, the first button snaps and....the music, the wine, the lighting, the mood is perfectly set....and what comes next is exactly what you expect....GREAT job funom....glad to know you are still here....peace my brother....
