LUST ~ (Monday Potluck)
Impressions of you
my emotions run wild
like mortal remains
a victim to my lust
insatiable desires
burning like the sun
with carnal instinct
possessed by this poison
devouring me from within
and I caress the remnants
of my decomposed emotions
for this is just fantasy
BUT
lust
I must

so this week’s topic is “seven deadly sins”, you guys sure create marvellous topics.
I will try it for sure, later. 🙂
A very perfect picturisation of lust or may be very deep passion. When i think of lust the first picture that comes to my mind is gollum of “Lord of the rings”.
October 19, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Hard for me to write about lust 😦 xxx Hugs xx
October 18, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Gr8 one.

Great poem. Simply beautiful.
October 19, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Thanks Corbie, very happy you enjoyed and stopped by xx
October 18, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Yes, lust you must! That perfectly captured the sense of urgency inherent in lust.
You know, Buttercup, you’ve gotta stop writing stuff about me like this… it’s a little embarrassing. 😉
October 19, 2010 at 1:17 pm
LOLOL….this was a hard one for me to write about 🙂 xxx Big hugs xx
October 20, 2010 at 12:04 am
You said… (blush)…. oh, never mind!
October 20, 2010 at 9:35 am
LOL!! xx
October 18, 2010 at 9:59 pm
The serpent writhing startled me for a moment! Very impressive! The words in the verse match the image and bring it to life even more! The video also adds to the mood you created. You are an artist, my friend. Blessings to you…
October 19, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Tried my best to create the theme 🙂 Thanks girlfriend xx
October 18, 2010 at 10:16 pm

October 18, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Wow, this is a very good piece for the theme! Awesome work! Love the picture too, I can stare at it for hours at end 🙂
Apologies for not visiting for so long. Internet connection at home is terrible and I’ve been very bogged down with work at office.
October 19, 2010 at 1:19 pm
I am happy that you took the time to come here my friend…..take care DP…big hugs xx
October 18, 2010 at 11:44 pm
powerful sin poem,
the snake makes me jump, but I know it is visual, thanks for the rocking talent.
October 19, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Not everyone loves that pic…I dont either 🙂 xxx
October 19, 2010 at 12:07 am
Great poem, and I love the snake at the top!
October 19, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Happy you liked the read my friend, take care xxx
October 19, 2010 at 12:14 am
Wow..what an excellent poem…but did I mention I don’t like snakes.
October 19, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Ditto my friend…wondered about that initially 🙂 xxx
October 19, 2010 at 12:37 am
Just a fantasy? Oh yeah….I believe you, Amanda.
That image has to go tho, it gives me the creeps!!!
Powerful poem as always, girl.
October 19, 2010 at 1:23 pm
LOLOL….not crazy about snakes at all…thought it might go with the theme:) Big hugs xxx

Thanks so much my dear friend, as always, so happy to see you here 🙂 xx
October 19, 2010 at 3:02 am
Lust is one of those sins which doesn’t necessarily have to be tied to carnal desires, you’ve captured well though the epitome of lust.
October 19, 2010 at 1:25 pm
Thanks so much for your comment and visit Melissa, I really appreciate it xx
October 19, 2010 at 3:03 am
wow..this poem makes lust feel so cool…Nicely done!
Cheers.
October 19, 2010 at 1:25 pm
*blush*…glad you enjoyed the read my friend xxx
October 19, 2010 at 3:24 am
Lust can certainly decompose ones emotions..if it takes a hold of you! Excellent poem, although I HATE snakes! Grrr xx
October 19, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Not a lover of snakes either my friend. Grrrrrrrrrrr oxoxoxo
October 19, 2010 at 3:41 am
Awesome! Love the concluding lines: BUT / lust / I must – and really, where would we all be if not for this so-called sin?? The pic is well-done, but to me, scary…
October 19, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Scary to me too Ruth, not a lover of snakes but thought it good for the theme and poem Grrrrrrrrrrr oxoxoxox
October 19, 2010 at 4:30 am
Wow..the image and the words are amazing. You are hot, girl.
Victoria
October 19, 2010 at 1:29 pm
LOL…not an easy topic to write about oxoxox
October 19, 2010 at 4:35 am
Excellent poem and the snake adds to the flavor. Fascination with snakes, fascination with lust. I’ve done several reads. Way to go.
October 19, 2010 at 4:49 am
Yep, I could feel the lust! That snake “slithering” all the while was a great touch too.
Gayle xoxo
October 19, 2010 at 5:00 am
lust I must indeed. Who said that was a sin? Sexually repressed Catholics in the Dark Ages…
Nice one my friend… realy enjoy yr potluck Amanda (or can I call you Mandy by now 😉
Warmest Salad

October 19, 2010 at 6:24 am
Excellent poem on lust. It is perfect for this week’s theme, and it is a good reminder that we really do give up our emotions when lust is present.

Spicy! Very naughty little homage to the theme–and a great submission for the potluck. Wonderful poem, you’ve certainly captured the feeling–and it’s one we can all know well ;).
“BUT
lust
I must”
So true.
October 19, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Very happy you liked it my friend…thanks for stopping by and your contribution as always. Much love xx
October 19, 2010 at 8:23 am
“…I caress the remnants of my decomposed emotions.” – Brilliant!
Your words are always a gift and you always seem to find the coolest images and pair them with tasteful and appropriate vidoes.

October 19, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Thanks Giovanni, very happy you liked the read…must say I loved yours so much too oxo
October 19, 2010 at 8:47 am
Well done, Amanda…very evocative, the poem is very well written from beginning to end…Lust is indeed a deadly sin, but one usually dies happy 🙂
October 19, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Very true words you have spoken Tracy…also not an easy topic to write about 🙂 Hugs xx
October 19, 2010 at 9:55 am

Thanks Pamela, happy you liked the read my friend xxx
October 19, 2010 at 11:33 am
I love the poem. That’s exactly how lust works. I try not to let my flesh and humanity speak louder than it should. It’s hard, but I think freedom’s got a lot to do with being masters of our desires.
October 19, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Thanks for your comment and visit, I really appreciate it very much x
October 19, 2010 at 12:32 pm

Glad you liked my friend oxoxoxox Big hugs xx
October 19, 2010 at 1:58 pm
Marvelous! I can feel the lust and its power, the raw underbelly of great energy! The picture of a coiled serpent around what it loves sells this piece as well! Thanks for sharing!

October 19, 2010 at 9:34 pm
Oh, my, Mandy! You’ve done it again.
I always get a kick out of reading and seeing your posts.
Lust appears to be the most popular of the 7 chosen sins.
I’m getting the feeling that yours could be the deadly one. 😉 UT
October 20, 2010 at 9:31 am
You always say such beautiful things to me and it warms my heart…thanks so much my friend. Big hugs xx
October 19, 2010 at 11:02 pm

October 20, 2010 at 1:00 pm
“Lust I Must”!! You little vixen, Amanda! Love how you let your little impish side come out and play at the end. Also, the uber-sensual undulating snake graphic at the top set the mood.
But the poem stands on its own. Congrats, good work!
Amy BL
October 21, 2010 at 5:45 am
