Burning Hunger
Lust, a fire burning within,
A hunger that we cannot help but begin,
The yearning for a lover's touch,
The need for intimacy, oh so much.
Lust, the beast that dwells within us all,
A force that we cannot help but heed the call,
It's the sweetest sin that cannot be ignored,
And must be respected, lest it leave us all floored.
But as I grow and start to learn,
That true beauty is what's inside, it's our turn,
To see beyond the flesh and bone,
And appreciate the heart that's shown.
For a pretty face and perfect form,
Will never truly keep us warm,
It's the kindness in her eyes,
And the soul that within her lies.
It's the strength of her character,
That will make my heart beat faster,
And while the lust may still remain,
It's not her body that I should obtain.
Lust may catch our eye and heart,
But it's the depth within that sets us apart,
For beauty fades and lust will wane,
But it's the deeper qualities that will remain.
So, while the desire may come and go,
It's her character that will make our love grow,
And I'll appreciate all that she is,
Not just the physical parts, but her soul that's bliss.
