Lust and Love

Christian Brown

Lust is just smoke,

Love is a fire.

Lust wants and needs to fill it’s desires.

Lust is a weed

And Love is a tree.

Love wants to give, yearns not to receive

Lust is a coward

Love fears no pains

Lust has to fear but Love just remains.

Lust cannot quench

Love won’t run dry

Lust only taints Loves endless supply

There’s nothing to lose with Lust,

But everything to fear

There’s the world at risk with Love

But how could you hold dear

The things of which you can’t be rid,

Yet never satisfy,

The quiet, empty, vainful bid

I tell you, it’s a lie.

We seek for Love and do not know

Exactly for what we thirst

Tired and weary of the search

We settle for Lust first

Lust is always punctual

Love is never too late

Lust breaks down your door,

Love outside, will wait.

Lust is definite

Love is infinite

Lust is definable and easy to see

Love is most potent when behind the scenes

So discern my friends,

What’s good and what’s fast

Love will endure,

And Lust will not last
