Love and Lust
Lonely, alone, hungering for the love of a gentle soul. Someone to hold and have, to spoil and cherish until the universe isn't but more than the spec of dust it was before it's creation. To have love, with the power of all the forces combined in the universe. Yet no soul to wrap in it is a waste. It's a loss so deep no expression can describe it yet if it could be, no one could understand as it would destroy ones soul due to the force of it's impact. No gentle hill, no soft moss, no creek or waterfall will encounter the love I have, for no soul on this earth wants it. Humanity only lusts for the quick and glory of a fleeting moment of carnal force, once it's abused they flee, far and wide, up to the next innocent victim to ravish so their eternal search of flesh can be satisfied for another instant. But like my search for love, their search for carnal lust is equal as an addiction and both are equally powerful in it's ability to destroy. Wasn't Troy destroyed by both love and carnal lust being tried against each other? And though war is inhumane and disgusting, how we must miss the times where our Kings sent drones of innocent men into battle for the love or lust of another instead of just doing it today out of lust for power and fueled by hate.
