There is no sinfulness in the will and affections without some error in the understanding. All lusts which a natural man lives in, are lusts of ignorance.

Blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue itself; neither do we rejoice therein, because we control our lusts, but contrariwise, because we rejoice therein, we are able to control our lusts.

Reminded!
Reminded!
For, a workman does not need to be ashamed;
But, your youthful lusts are leading you astray in this life!
Because, there are many imposters around you.
Bat, batter!
Between the rivers,
With language and culture;
Through the rain,
But, your youthful lusts are leading you astray in this life.

Lust, Lust, Lust
He lusts for her
Her apple breasts
Beneath her vest
Taste the best
Lust, Lust, Lust
Three women on the go
Yet happiness does not flow
It is only
Lust, Lust, Lust
Her apple breasts
Beneath her vest
Taste the best
The natural flow of wetness
He hopes to taste once more
Maybe its vanilla flavor
Will be one better than before
Lust, Lust, Lust
Lost in focus
Lost in defense
Can’t do his job
Till he scores once more
Now humble, no longer hardcore
Only suffering from lust hangover
Her apple breast
Beneath her vest
Has just put him to the test
The sweet fluid of sex
Displaying something complex
Lust, Lust, Lust
Save him
He is an emotional wreck
For he still lusts after his Ex!

The change of guard
A woman in her mid age
is not averse to change of guard
or is desperate for a change
not that in him she lost curiosity
but that in her he lost curiosity.
Man lusts to explore.
Woman lusts being explored.
How to explore the one explored! .

A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet XVII
For lo! the nations, the imperial nations
Of Europe, all imagine a vain thing,
Sitting thus blindly in their generations,
Serving an idol for their God and King.
Blindly they rage together, worshipping
Their lusts of cunning, and their lusts of gold;
Trampling the hearts of all too weak to bring
Alms to their Baal which is bought and sold.
And lo! there is no refuge, none but Baal
For man's best help, and the mute recreant earth
Drinks in its children's blood, and hears their wail,
And deals no vengeance on its last foul birth;
And there is found no hand to ward or keep
The weak from wrong, and Pity is asleep.

The source of every Crime, is some defect of the Understanding; or some error in Reasoning, or some sudden force of the Passions. Defect in the Understanding, is Ignorance; in Reasoning, Erroneous Opinion.

More Questions Than Answers
There are wars around us daily and the world sleeps,
But read your Bible always to know the facts about all these prophesies!
For there are more questions than answers on this earth,
And like a red mark on the foreheads of mankind.
Of hope in life,
Of power in the name of war,
Of love to the people we care for,
Of faith on the journey on this earth,
And of a sound mind in the land of roses;
But there are more questions than answers on this earth.
Beside the service of two,
Elias came as a surprise to us! !
And like the prophecy that is known to you;
But there are more questions than answers on this earth.
Captured by various lusts,
But we brought nothing to the world and we will take away nothing out of it!
And like our tears after the bombs,
But there are more questions on this earth than answers.
Bombs everywhere! !
And like the corpses after the wars;
But in youthful lusts with green-uniforms like the flesh and blood as seen in Ivory Coast and in Libya!
And the world sleeps because of its many problems.

When You Love
when you love
always anticipate that somehow all things end
the sunshine that comes after the rain
the storm after a very peaceful morning
some things do happen
unexpectedly, if there is no leaving
for sure there is also death
have always a margin of error
human as we are
perfection is a big denial
you make love to the full today
let it be and then when things change such as
an iced melting or a glass of coffee getting colder
a touch not as warm as yesterday
or the kiss that turned routinary
a hug not so revolutionary
as to degrade itself to something that is so ordinary
do not be shocked as though you are into your first earthquake
learn the ways of the wise
take love as good as it lusts.

Draped In Their Lust
O, the steamy lust leers upon his lonely soul
Time seemed to last forever
Fear strike with unstoppable lightning
Falling into eternity in an instant
Into fragments of lust he give in
whilst she glance at him with angelic eyes
Within a split second, their lusts erupted
Two souls joined as one wrapped in their lusts
Joyous moments cast a spell that seems endless
As the light of love slowly dim,
The two souls soar in search for tranquility.
They flourished in love, cherished it
& 2gether they prospered in it.
Engulfed in eternal love and lust
They soared to explore the hidden secrets
Words of embrace uttered and they lived by
Drifting into each other’s souls
Slipping into love trace; the feelings’ ‘re gracious
their touches of love they give
Breathless their bodies ascend
With feelings so intense, into their haze
their blooming souls descend
into the rainstorm of lust they indulge

Hymn 122
Believers buried with Christ in baptism.
Rom. 6:3,4,etc.
Do we not know that solemn word,
That we are buried with the Lord,
Baptized into his death, and then
Put off the body of our sin?
Our souls receive diviner breath,
Raised from corruption, guilt, and death;
So from the grave did Christ arise,
And lives to God above the skies.
No more let sin or Satan reign
Over our mortal flesh again;
The various lusts we served before
Shall have dominion now no more.

Melle
I am who i am,
And i am always like that;
But fashion is my hobby and like,
A dumb donkey speaking with a man's voice!
I am Melle but,
You are like wells without water;
Because you always allure me through the lusts of the flesh!

Variuos Lusts Or Strong Pulls
Various lusts or strong pulls lead us to sin!
And the end result is what you become today;
Because, we have to suffer for our wrong doings,
However, there are many rules on this earth to guide us on.

I Will Repay It
They are after their lown lusts,
And they are aftwer teachers who will tickle their ears;
So if my son has wrong you or owes you anything,
Put that on my accounts.
I have written with my own hand and,
I will repay it.

I Love Faces
I love the faces of people in triumph,
Trumpets blow to ride the falcons
Into skies of gold, golden skies are us.
I live along the periods of doubt
To suppress my dreams of taste,
Food concentrates its liquor in my puzzled
Mind. I do not know the tests of these
People.
Justice, despair,
Are worries of the soul
As the men of understanding concern
Themselves with desires and lusts
Of learning.
The courts are against the customs
And traditional desserts,
Foolish puddings blow apart
As just men preserve the jam
Inside the fellowship.

Various Lusts
Many do write but only few become Authors,
Many countries play in the World Cup but only one country wins the cup,
And you are now captured by various lusts around you!
But try to change before it is too late because,
Only few will be chosen at the end of all things.
