| Love and Lust
Posted: 7/28/2005 9:44:12 PM | Love and lust are oft confused.
What exactly am I feeling?
What grips my heart just like a vice
and sends my senses reeling?
Did he just say the things he said
to get me into bed?
Will he be here come morning time
Or will he leave instead?
These questions plague the dating game,
make it a living hell.
Confusing lust for love is bad
So how are we to tell?
Explaining lust is easy,
But love's hard to define.
So I will take a poet's route
and explain it in a rhyme.
Lust can be an eyeful
While they say love is blind.
Lust is all too common
and love is hard to find.
Lust is something you feel right off
Some say chemistry, click, or spark.
Lust is something that feels you back
under blankets in the dark.
Lust is sex with the lights on.
Lust makes us lie and cheat.
Lust is a flaming inferno
that can burn you in its heat.
Whereas, Love is warmth and tenderness
the afterglow. Slooooow burn.
Love is comfort. Happiness.
A bliss for which we yearn.
Love is felt twixt Mom and Dad
and kids, grandparents too.
When two friends always stick together,
It's love that is the glue.
Both love and lust, they have their place.
They never should compete.
For a relationship that has them both,
is ever twice as sweet!
With Love,

Author's Note "I signed 'With Love,' and you can tell that this is love because out of love comes cheesy poetry. If it had been lust, the aforementioned poem would not only have been cheesy, but would have also been a limerick. One more difference I thought was worth noting" | |
