Covet

Eyes
dare not linger,
dare not show lust,
as dancers flit around
the fire.

Sex calls.
destroys
loy'lty
while pleasing sultry, virgin
core.

Claws
leave transparent trails,
leave translucent tracks,
as lovers flirt with mild
betray'l.

Desire
crushing
true love
while tainting sight for only
one.

Lips
never touching,
never tasting,
as deciet finds roots in
temptation.

Values
clouded
in heat
while childish want threatens pure
kiss.

hearts
survive confuse,
survive mistake,
as liars feign love
through fidelity.
