The emotion called lust and the long term one called true love.

In the temperature of lust
The steamy heat of passionate fulfillment exists
In the sweat of the moment
People intertwine into each other�s gratifications
Using all their energies to satisfy each other
Until the desire is spent by someone

In the temperature of true love
It exists at all levels of the spectrum
In the coldness that puts each other�s arms
Around each other in an embrace
Those chilly goose bumps that run
Through your spine in anticipation
Of such a gentle touch
The warmth of cuddling together
To just hold the moments so special
That you just lay there stroking each other
Talking like children with a treat in front of them
Of things so silly that only love could bring them out
Holding passions within that require
A long term commitment of obedience
To the understanding of each other emotions
It is the argue in such a way that it builds a relationship
Instead of destroying it in the bruises that don�t heal
It is about making up afterward in the way only lovers can
It is about realizing the frailties in each other
And avoiding the shattering of them
For once broken a part of the puzzle will never come back
Yes love is so much more
That it would take a lifetime to explain
And the words explaining it will take longer than the lust
That started my words here

My love of the written word
Will keep me going down another trail of it
Seeking the things to express the dynamics
Of the relationship of my spirituality
In the blossoming garden within my own mind
My creations I unfold for you have been blessed on me
In the creativity of creating an vision so vivid
That it stays within your memory
As in a smile that feel so much
That it flies open into the skies of thought

So go find your passions that will excite your inner being
Into the carnival of rides
That will take you to the pleasures of the mind
Create the paths that will bring things to light
And in the darkness
See your path with the wise eyes of the owl
For if the passion is true
There is nothing stopping you
Except lives final end
