Loves Form

What form does
your love take?
Do you know?

Is it gentle, kind
caressing and loving
expanding, retracting
allowing change and growth?

Maybe more wistful
just enough to
stimulate senses but
always out of reach
vapor covered mirage
real, but unsustained
leaving longing and want
hope of fulfillment

Although you're gritty
I hope its not
laying hands, pushing and pulling
neck choking and body slamming
disrespect designed to enhance
weak self esteem and power

Naw. That ain't you.
Your love is firm, but not hard
real, but not harsh
truthful, but not painful
protecting, but not suffocating
A warm blanket of security
creating peace and calm
sensual passion, inspirational creativity
loving experimentation and surprise.

I know I'm right.
It's in your eyes
I can't wait to experience
the form of your love.
