Lust and Love

She smiles, she pines, she blushes and whines,

She dreams about his divine touch.

She drowns in joy, she writhes in pain,

She longs for him, her love is such.

Pangs of desire rush through her blood,

But her childish love makes a musical ripple.

The pain of distance strangles the ballad,

Her heart playing the aching fiddle.

The moon rays pierce her silver skin,

It’s a sweet intoxicating wine.

She loses her thoughts to a lusty sin,

Where plant and weed intertwine.

She’s shaken out of the fantasy

By the breeze of love so pure.

Then blooms the tender pansy,

Spreading the fragrance of love that cures.

She breathes in the scented air,

She feels his breath diffused.

She yearns for his loving care,

His kiss, she is seduced.

A great pyre with a blinding shine,

Voraciously eats her soul,

A struggling scaleless fish is she,

A tramp on an aimless stroll.

She kens two birds unite,

She draws her wish in space.

Won’t he sympathize with her plight,

When all she wants is a glimpse of his face?

Her sapphire eyes shed diamond teardrops,

The pearly sweat trickles down,

Her amber skin that sublimely glows

As she wears that tattered gown.

Tattered from the endless wait,

For the one she pictures in her mansion.

Her heart unceasingly palpitates,

As she restlessly moves with shocking patience.

She’s overwhelmed with emotion,

Love and lust; pain and passion,

For the enticing silhouette in her dreams

Pray he’d soon hear her screams.

Amen.
