English poem
Lust
by Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936)
I am a golden lure. I am the laughter of false goddesses. I go disguised as Love. Men are my slaves. Women are my slaves. I am a goddess and the world is my shrine. I am the night wind Blowing through the leaves. I am the moonlight of a hidden glade. I am starlight On a palace. I am Lust.
