I don't see passages where "lust" is used positively, always negatively.
So it's very clear when "lust" differs from when "desire" is used.
Hey there Paul 4JC they aparently exist, for example this word (see links)
avvah H183
....desire, lust, will (not necessarily evil)
From here, Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon
Used once here for example
Duet 14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after H183, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
And elsewhere, like Deut 12:18, Deut 12:20, Deut 12:21
But sometimes its not so clear between lust and desire even when two different words are used in one verse showing a word found in the definition of the other but they are not the same words even though the are used identically. The defintion adds "not neccessarily evil) so they are are not always used for evil all the time.
Even covet (which is used interchangably with lust) you can covet good things not always evil, there are good desires and evil desires.
