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 Marsha Editing by Keth Breathe through the heat of our desire |

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*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
