Lusty Thoughts

 

The power, oh the power that devours

just about every thought in my head

Tainting them with a red-orange haze

that leads me to the bed

 

Where white hot passions wait

on black satin sheets

Where fear and doubt coexist

with ecstasy and pleasure

Creating a speedball of should I? Or shouldn't I?

that makes me high beyond intellectual measure

 

Until I'm numb to reason

overwhelmed by desire

caught in the throes of

whether I should feed the fire

 

And as I watch and succumb to the sensations

spawned by these thoughts

I'm almost driven to the brink of impulsive creativity

when I take a breath and ground myself in the now

where there's nothing to be sought

 

And I once again know the power of thought

and what it can do

as I change my pants

and step into my shoes
