Lust

WARNING: Do not assume Lust's debt. It cannot be paid back and will do nothing but hurt your credit. Borrower beware!

 

Lust lies like dust on ledges

rust cries, needing only paint

trust dies within alibis' blurred edges

Through time love fades like memoirs written in pencil

we abandon our property, sprayed with regret

organize our thoughts...

then borrow Lust's debt

lust...
so alluring.

nice write.

[THE LOST ROSE]

Lust lust lust...If only I read this poems months ago I would not be writing the poems I write today. Such power, truth and wisdom spoken with so few words. Thanks for sharing. I am glad I had tonight off mentally to appreciate this.

"Through time love fades like memoirs written in pencil"
I applaud you for producing such a tangible description of something that can't be physically touched,
your choice of words were very powerful and to rapture a reader to a place so far with only seven lines of thought takes an immense amount of skill.

Excellent poem!

-Marvin Lewis

Okay I am hooked on the way you create such thought provoking,
mind blowing art.
Well done! ~Lyrical
