Want

It may just be lust yet it may be so much more.

The taste I crave is on your tongue, I seek you out for it in both night and day, I succumb to the greed of that thing so sweet, It has become something I need.

I think about it oh so often and you who are oh so willing, Because I have what you desire so tis only fair we trade to give, To give and receive what we both want, something so carnal and pure.

We go without food or water for days on end, The others do not understand the urgency, The urge of it all drives me all but mad, I want it all, I have lost all agency.

The taste, the feel, the smell, I need it, We need not be stingy or shy. The taste you crave is on my tongue,

You want it day and night.

Thank you so much to everyone who read this piece and enjoyed it even if is just one of you. Lust onced realised is such a powerful emotion. It holds no logic or self preservation or reason, only a almost blinding need that must be fulfilled. I wrote this poem when I was first getting truly aquatinted with lust and its beguiling nature.

I was much younger than I was now and to be quiet honest, I was too young. But if my adolescence was anything it was the hot flash of love and infatuation that seemed to pull me into a lust fill haze. I do not regret those youthful desire-filled experiences, mostly. They’ve led me a fountain of knowledge and in an odd twist of fate it has led me to what I think is true love.
