Lust Becomes Love

Up the chakras

lust to love arose

.. transmuting itself

on the way to heart rose.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sri Sathya Sai Baba:
Love is the rose
Lust is the thorn.

Nice title and I like what you do with the poem. You are really good at writing very concise and tight poems where the imagery does the talking for itself. I like your style very much and have read several other poems under various categories. But in this one, I wish you'd did a little more in the poem itself and not relied on the authors comments to do the imagery's job for it. Do you know what I mean? I hope you don't think I'm rude. I appreciate constructive criticism when I do get it and I hope you will too. I wouldn't have bothered if I didn't really respect your work. Thanks for the poem.
