Lust

Her stage is set lighting casts a soothing glow he flirts and fantasizes his desires will soon be known a game, a tease, each other pleads playing as they please until both bored you see tossed aside with yesterday's ride real hearts relegated to cry waiting and withering within reality lust just a fake faux pas so seemingly innocent requesting of peace for pause herein lies love without feelings an euphoric exhilaration not explained to the weak driven and determined foraged but not forgiven in a monolithic multiple personality twist

Ahh, it s a really lovely and deep poem, really enjoyed reading it, the lust is temporarily with the pwriod of time it will finish from one person and you ll lust for other, but love is permanent, in it body or face doesn t matter, the thing which matters is soul and even decades later you ll find that person attractive, only if you truly love that person, a really nice written poem

Even with the obvious difference between the words, monolithic and multiple, the last verse works. Nicely done, Tim.

Brilliantly penned with great alliteration Tim, a vivid description of lust - love the lines 'tossed aside with yesterday's ride real hearts relegated to cry waiting and withering within reality':-) hugs Jan xx
