Lust introduced itself in my misspent youth
opening my eyes to a larger truth:
a joyous awakening lay “close at hand”
when I discovered books that were banned.
Lust yet remains; still on its mission -
leading me down the road to perdition
hell, damnation
,
reminding me I have a carnal
pertaining to or characterized by the flesh or the body, its passions and appetites
condition.
