“If we the substituted the word Lust’ for ‘Love’ in the the popular songs it would nearer the truth.”   Sylvia Plath

 

I Want

How I want, yes want
the depth of your smoky eyes,
and to capture the rainbow that
speaks from your heart
in syllables of colour
vibrating your slender spine,
soon to quench my desire
and to drink your most perfect skin
while greedily feasting on the
abundance of the shore of your lips,
to ravage your coastline
and breathe the note of your whole.

    I’m referring to the challenge poem, “I Want.”

    What a wonderful metaphor, with a “rainbow speaking form the heart”. Michael

    Lust or love? Ain’t that the same thing? 🙂
