Lust

Gathered up in passion's fraught embrace,
to drown in waves of long forgotten lust,
and know that in returning to the broken shore,
I held you, one more time, at any cost.

In tingled flesh and tangled hopes and dreams,
mind was drowned in surging, desperate seas,
and fell into an emptiness which yawned;
as body shuddered, ached; you were no more.

  3. Yes! The memories pale into insignificance in the presence of lust!
