I go by many names, many a form,
And as with the others, I start off small,
But soon I will take your senses by storm,
With burning desire I engulf you all.

A smile or a scent or a figure lush,
And attraction digs in its steely claws,
A Lascivious heat through your veins does rush,
You dream and fantasize without a pause.

Your eyes behold in a covetous haze,
The appreciation is carnal pure,
The longing leaves you in a single daze,
Determined their affections to secure.

Never confuse me for love, I am fire,
The blaze of passion, the flames of desire.

You see people as objects of pleasure,
To serve your desires and appetites,
Life's simply hours of sensual leisure,
Salacious days and endless wanton nights.

Not only for earthly urges you crave,
In hedonic dreams your mind does meander,
None matter, you treat others as a slave,
As only to your demands you pander.

You destroy their bodies, then steal their soul,
No regard for anyone but yourself,
Self satisfaction is your only goal,
An obsession that grows and feeds itself.

When your skin's ablaze, heart ready to burst,
At that moment you'll know me, I am Lust.
