Poetry: The price of lust

by Gib Whitney

Created on: June 20, 2009   Last Updated: November 28, 2009

Shallow

automatic animals

seduced by lust,

gives a fleeting joy,

quick

then lost.

Sweaty pleasures

in a stripped-down

night,

where guilty

flesh entwines,

while minds

stay off.

Reckless embraces

tears at

tainted hearts,

whose wild palpitations

faintly echo,

as if missing,

deafened by lust.
