Love and Lust On The Face Of a Man

Love and Lust On The Face Of a Man

Love is the look on a Fathers face
When he is seeing his first child
Wrapped in a swaddling blanket
In the loving arms of an caring nurse

Love is the look on a Mothers face
When she hears her child’s first cries
Still attached to her umbilical cord pink and wrinkly
In the gentle hands of a kind doctor

Lust is the look on the face of a man
That sees his neighbor’s wife sun bathing
In the front yard of their country home
On a hot spring day at noontime

Lust is the look on the face of a female
any ideas?……………………….

So if you are looking for love and lust
Just look on the face of a man or woman and you will find it
