Love's lost its lust

Love in an hourglass

Love’s lost its lust my dear

And I’ve been keeping this dust for years

Counting the grains one by one

From dusk to dawn

Till my eyes turned red

I drank it all down

Nothing more to give

Nothing more to take

Now that I’ve accepted

That it’s all just a game

Love’s lost its lust my dear

[Everett DeValle]

This is a wonderful write...I can feel the deep emotions conveyed in such a few lines...I can relate to this when your soul is jaded...I've been through the worst break up, many years ago and all the drama that came with it...I was born from that...a player for life...I hope not...only one can wish a heart settles.

Beautiful poetry spoken from the depths of your soul. Excellent.

You depicted reality,it is really what the "love" comes under!
Great job :-)

[Coyote Poetry]

Big different to the words love and lust. Love is for the heart. Lust is for the body. Love will last forever. Lust take hard work and a good imagination. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
