Love or Just Lust...

Is it Love - or is it just lust?

I hope it is - oh please, it must.

If not, it would seem so unjust.

We both so want and need that total trust-

that lovers share.

When they are both aroused and bare.

Is it Love - or is it just lust?

 

Is it Love - or is it just lust?

In each others arms and minds we must trust.

A cuddle in the car park-

A tender kiss after dark.

A Warming hug - a snug -

sex on the rug.

Is it Love - or is it just lust?

 

Is it Love - or is it just lust?

We don't seem to need those mirrored ceilings-

We both have those so strong heartfelt feelings.

Feelings so urging and sublime-

is it a mountain we both have to climb?

Can a crevasse in a life, be traversed - within this verse.

Is it Love - or is it just lust?

I agree with M.C

A hypnotic and very human question.

I like the refain and flow- should perform very well.

An eternal question - phrased with imagination and sensitivity.
