IS THIS LOVE?



She asked him, “Is this what love is all about?”
The flirting glances across the candlelit room,
Breathless when your heart goes boom-boom,
 The tender fleeting kiss & sweet soft caress,
Compliments made on my brand new dress.

She asked him, “Is this what love is all about?”
White Fairytale wedding in the month of June,
The waltz & holding hands beneath the moon,
The flowers & poems & those missives of love,
Giving thanks for this love to the God above.

She asked him, “Is this what love is all about?”
Orgasmic passion & crimson roses on pillows,
Fire in the loins, sweet words beneath willows,
The touch of a cheek & the kissed away tears,
The reaching out touching & knowing no fears.

She asked him, “Is this what love is all about?”
The wretched retching, while you hold the pail,
Of hairless head & wrinkled skin yellow & pale,
The acrid scents of those droolings & seepings,
Love swept clean of life in memory´s sweepings.

“Yes,” he said, “this is what love is all about,”
The good & bad, the passion & slow imminent dying,
This love which enables us, upon wings to go flying,
And holding your hand, I now know without a doubt,
That this my love, is exactly what good love is all about.
