The (tentatively) finished LUST intro poem

Last night I dreamed a dream of you,
A dream of dread desire,
And in that dream dark passions flowed
Which filled my heart with fire.

You fill my heart with longing,
My eyes with lustful sights,
I want to have and hold you,
Oh curse that fateful night!

This fateful night did stir me,
Did wake the inner beast,
I need to feel your touch now,
Let loving be our feast.

I am happy with the rhyming and the flow, and I like the 12 line, 3 stanza thing. I'm moving on to Pride and Greed now, and I have yet to decide if I should change the style for each poem to reflect the "sin" better... Undecided. Hope you enjoyed.

Happy Valentine's Day (oddly fitting!).

Blake.
