love – Page 13 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Seek love

Cower not, fearful of love.
Rejection’s burn isn’t so brutal
As to remain empty of love’s
Brilliant warmth.

Love’s immensity
Reaches beyond the body
Dancing on sunlight

Amazing to me
The transference of worry
To another’s child.

Love’s ability to move
Intertwining deep within
Joyfulness abounds.

Stare into their souls
Nurture to magnificence
Grasping their true being

Two sets of legs
Intertwine.
Caressing gently.
Passion, absent
Love.

Hard skin
Rattles against
Touch.
Consummation
Culminates
With consumption,
Destruction of one.

Each pair of legs
Re-divides, eight
Alone again.

Strange torturous song
Delight, anguish born anew
Without it we die.

I desire my life
Overflowing everywhere
Centered upon love

Upon evening’s curves
Attention drifts longingly
Over her dark eyes

Silence roars desperately
Demanding unearned loving.
Insecurity.

Love’s complexity
Rich and varied in meaning
Confusing feelings.
