Love Poem: On Lust and Love

On Lust and Love

Better to marry than burn with lust
So to be merry, I married Mary which I thought was a must
Be that as it may, turned out it was a bust
Loving without love is just crushed stardust
Eventually blown away by apathy’s weak gust
Once two fiery hearts, now doused with lust’s rust
