We all
Entertain
Lust when we fall
Under the spell of
Salacious
Temptations and
Titillation’s ruminations
Everybody does
In one manner
Or another
Mama, daddy,
Sister, brother
Either one, or
The other
Long ’bout
A wish or want
To have
A little
Or a lot
Rousing in
cravings
Infused in brain
ravings
Scintillating
Stimulating
Fascinating
Vibrating under the
mat
Like this
And
Like that
Hidden under
The covers
Underneath
The bed sheet
Where
Images
Creep ’n
Seeping into the
deep
…In
Invigorating
Exhilarating
Motivating
Tempt-u-os designs
Turning minds
‘Round
In fits
Of fantasy
When appetites
Invite delight
Captured
In the net of
An itch
Which
Yen and yang
The wits to
twitch
For a little
Knick-knack
With a little
tit
For a little tat
Maybe
A new hat
For Jill
Or Jack
Hankering
To
Wander
About
In naked gardens
Blossoming-in
The meandering
wind
Careening
Through the
lilies of the fields
Gleaming in the
hot mist it yields
In dreaming
Of this and that
If…
Or
When the whiff
Of a little bit
Of snatch
Attack
Like that for a
Big Mac
Intertwine
Underlined
Dining
At buffets of
fat
Baby back
Ribs
And buckets of
Butter-fried
Stuff-ed
Mussels with hot
sauce
Dribbling with
Dis and dat
Slip
Between the cat-nip
Scratch
Of cat
Meowing strays
Prowling
The alley ways
Crawling over
The rain wet floors
On all fours
Sniffing the
scent
Left on the park
bench
Of intent to
entice
And consent to the
price
Or whatever
Matter-of-lack
Impact
On
A wish
For a side dish
A want
Of a way to play
In the dark part
Smothered in
Lingering
Candle wax
Burning
To the nub
Flickering out
In the
Haste to rub
Pitty-pat
Yearnings
To fill the soul
Aching
To plug
The hole
When the bubble
burst
Open to
Desire under the
Elms
Where nature
dwells
And stirs the
wellsprings
Of lust
Deeply embedded
In the best
And all the rest
Of us
It is in the
nature
Of the human
flesh
Formed from the
dust
“All
the labor of ‘man’ is for his mouth -
For
self-preservation,
For
enjoyment.
And
yet, his appetite (his desire) is never satisfied.” Eccl. 6:7
