Lust

I've always pictured Lust as a woman

A seductive and voluptuous goddess

with golden curls and a sensual smirk

Her eyes would be the reflection of diamonds

or stars in an eerie, romantic night sky

A perfection of human kind

An angel fallen from heaven

But oh would she be cruel

She might be beautiful and appear innocent

but she is a trickster, a wily temptress.

A consumer of hearts

A demon in disguise

She'd lure her helpless, naïve victims

with pleading eyes and hypnotizing sways

They'd follow, attracted to illusion of vulnerability

That's when she'd strike,

lunging for the **** in a snap

Another bleeding artless heart...

stolen, stomped on, kicked around,

cut up, spit on, and set on fire.

Another pathetic man blinded by Lust.

Poor *******
