Lust

Curiosity is the lust of the mind. -Thomas Hobbes

Oh Lust, Devil's veil, Oh lust,
Tears of the abused satisfy your thirst,
Desire and Apathy are the limbs you have;
From behind you climb up and his neck you grab,

Drive him insane, from eating his brain,
Oh man will never be the same again,
After he's wrapped in you, Oh! devil's veil
For you may be sucking his soul, but will assure all's well in his tale.

Lust on so many levels. Deep, profound and full of emotions.

[Samuel]

Lust. The word itself is enough! And when it is personified, it is just fascinating. The poem has been aptly composed with various facets given to this emotion.
