For you did not see the wisdom of choice
nor cry for the deed you chose
Weep not for wisdom was placed before you
and your flesh was stronger than love

This is theme that is universal and timeless in this world/life. Powerfully expressed, Carol. Love and best wishes,

All I can say is, if you love someone you don't fool around with someone else. I don't care if its passion or not it's called love and devotion. Ron doesn't get it

There's nothing immoral about passion for the flesh. Its built-in to our DNA to procreate, and there's no reason why it should be a moral for us to engage in it. We, too often, set ourselves up as some kind of moralists and decide what is moral and what is immoral based on some type of reasoning, usually convoluted.

And your flesh was stronger than love.
This is so characteristic for so many men. How much has been destroyed already by the weakness and the short term selfish satisfaction of the flesh.
What a beautiful poem to pinpoint the loss of morality by the weakness of the flesh.

for whom ever this was written appears to not have been as strong in his dedication to his love as to his desire of personal closeness, to bad wisdom comes to late, the sometimes painful reward of the true heart even without physical satisfaction has an even deeper soulful contentment. so beautifully written by one so versed in loves emotions

Strange how your verses seem to imply poetic dialogue - here's my somewhat extemporaneous riposte:

Take thy joy in lust and laughter
And live both in the light and dark
Let never shame become your master
As into night God steers thy barque

Strong and proud thy rod must stand
Potent symbol of the Son
Sink deep the sword of fleeting passion
In the flesh thy strength has won

Let spirit ever guide thy hand
Let mercy not untempered be
By lust for life and bloodied passion
For life requires severity

heheheh!!!

The consequence of breaking ones moral code, and how easy to break other hearts when emotions rule the monkey mind.

Seek unto the righteousness and the brave
A look at the frail maiden, passion growth
A wisp of perfume and a slender leg
Tender kiss, moonlit eyes, love and lust; both.
