15/36 'What is Love'

love is an emotion that goes deeper than bones
way beyond the core
because it hits you from way inside and thats where its stored
it doesnt shake my tummy
or make me feel funny
but rattles the atoms to where i can't fathom to be without em
using every breath to think about em

it isnt the admiration of the body
the temptation to enact sodomy
or manipulation to have em top of me
for that is lust
love isnt dick sensation
or clitoral stimulation
it leaves you more spaced out than your own imagination
making your heart stop but no complications
like flame and fumes enabling a combustion
from start to finish
beginning to end
true relationships have no means to an end
it may not come first try
second, or third
but once both are picked out of the herd
only then you'll feel complete
and rest soundly in warm arms beneath the sheets
caring for the soul within
no matter the body they're trapped in
and theres one for us all
who make our knees tremble like leaves in fall
if we miss them
just know they'll leave a voicemail when they call
