Is this love? In a world that runs on lust For money and for power I feel that love is just In this frantic hour Lost And it is too great a cost The need that must feed An overwhelming desire A burning fire Love hardly grows Heaven knows Without caring Sharing Time, space, A kindly face Affection No rejection Love needs a season Rhyme and reason Touching hearts And body parts A love so tender To surrender Without losing Only choosing Giving and caring Loving, sharing Entrusting all Can we fall Or is it all A dream And/or just Lust?
