When there's lust in love
It is so strong, it, it...it
could almost **** you.

It, it...it overwhelms you
In the corners of the morning
In the all exhausted evening,
Every moment; all the time.

Lust, and love, together
Sensual, hedonistic pleasure,
Altruistic, all-encompassing,
Of this, we mortals dream.
The Ancient Greeks had around 30 words to describe love in all its shades and complexities - we have just one.

'Eros' is the Ancient Greek term for romantic and ****** love. 'Pragma' is love which endures.
