Latent Desires

As lightning fills the room a fright’ning flash of doom, and thunder shakes the night I wonder if it’s right this feeling deep within concealing latent sin, these lusted dreams that be a crusted part of me. July 8, 2020

John congratulations on your awesome write - you are so right, a huge storm makes us look within and realize we are merely a spec of dust amidst the power of a great storm sent by God with lightening and thunder that makes us shiver sometimes in our shoes. Beautiful write. Blessings, Jennifer.

John, my shining star on a pedestal (of my own creation): Please say it isn't so! First Jimmy Carter back in the '70's with that Playboy interview, and now... you... lusting after pleasure. O, woe is me. My balloon punctured; all the air let out... LOL. Great write, my friend. Blessings, Gershon

Yeah, me and Jimmy shocking the world... I got a good laugh out of your comment this morning, Gershon, thanks for stopping by. Cheers, John

There is something about lightning filling the room and thunder shaking the night- that is magical. Sensual. Sometimes dreams or fantasies take our breath away, as desires are a part of us. A tender longing lingers within your heart. Hugs, Brandy

We all step off the path of righteousness in our youth, those sins hidden from all but thy self. Well composed John, those double rhymes I found tricky. Tom

Best to keep those secrets locked away. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments, Tom. The internal rhymes were it a little tricky but it was fun once I got into the flow. Cheers, John
