Cute poem. Would have loved it, if it had ended differently. That is

'and you shall find no burns,

but all consuming warmth in this flame.

The fire called love ❤️‍🔥'

Not lust. 😫 And negated this "Their relationship was based entirely on lust rather than love."

Both love and lust are there. Here just the lust aspect of lust is being talked about. Lust and love ideally should both be present in a harmonious romantic relationship. Just like a fire emits both light as well as heat. You can't seperate one from the other.

Yes. Agree. It's just that my perception of love and sex is different. To me, Sex is a result of intense love care trust and bonding bw two.

Well. You didn't reply to my comment in your off-switch poem. Was it too personal a question, i asked?

Absolutely sex must be a by-product of love. Not the main focus, I agree. Sex is a natural by-product of love.

Actually I didn't reply cause some poems are based on imagination, some based on different real life scenarios, some a mixture of all of the above. So while these poems do apply to my real life. They do so, in a wierd symbolic, very abstract way. And I would just drive everyone mad, trying to explain it over a text/comment. 😭😭

😄😄😅. Okay. True. explaining over text/comment is tiring, maddening. And no problem for taking your time to reply. My questions like me, my mind, are bit complex. Thanks for your patience, and polite reply.
