Lust Or Love?

Too often lust wears a disguise
Mistaken for love's alibis
True love will last and unlike lust
That crumples quickly into dust
Love's touch illumines the heart like so
While lust just makes the juices flow
How can you tell them all apart?
It's simple, - look within your heart

Too often lust just rushes in
Pulling you in heated sin
Love takes more, like time to grow
Shared thoughts and interests make love flow
Lust is like lightening scorching hot
Love flows constantly likely as not
True love can come quickly it's very true
But it grows slowly and then fills you

Too often lust will play a game
Love speaks truth and knows your name
Lust is a flash of desire
While true love bathes your soul in fire
Lust is fine but the heat soon dies
While love will wrap your heart in sighs
Love is worth the wait and you will see
How love inflames you endlessly

Lust is for fun but nothing more
While love keeps you whole forever more

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Cold hands means a warm heart

Mushy,  

I have missed you....glad you are here...
and I do love this poem which is so very
true....I know both sides of this coin...
and you are right...lust is the moment
and love...well..it is the lifetime...

Hugs lady...

MarshaLOVE~

Oh my stars !
The man I trust
Will give me love
with a heaping of lust~

Love is dandy
and Oh, so sweet~
But that consuming lust
knocks me off my feet !

So, while I tenderly confess
to love foreverly
within my breast ...
I should hope to never rust
without an appetite for LUST~


Oh, now look what you did !!
Brought out the *giggles* in me~
My !  My !  Sometimes I surprise myself~
Oh, my aching back !

Love ya' gal ...~
*Huggers*
~*Me*~
