Simple Lust (Poetry)
30th July 2025
I come to you
with no other expectation
than the slaking of desire
It is a thirst
I’ve nurtured now
unattended for some while
No other purpose
but for pleasure and release
my motive pure
So I tell you this —
make it clear it’s
just gratification ...
But should things change
and simple lust evolve
to something more
I’ll almost guarantee
our complex hearts
will disagree
with no other expectation
than the slaking of desire
It is a thirst
I’ve nurtured now
unattended for some while
No other purpose
but for pleasure and release
my motive pure
So I tell you this —
make it clear it’s
just gratification ...
But should things change
and simple lust evolve
to something more
I’ll almost guarantee
our complex hearts
will disagree
