Beyond Emotion

How many with lust some call love unite with the sunset
How many notwithstanding walk away not to survive the dawn
How many so confused love and sex numb beyond emotion.

how many IS what they ask. My how many was a verse in a song. you know the one "How long has this been going on?" refering to my broken heart.i was asking God.

yes, a good question, Harry. It's great to see you have new poems up. If I were not in a hurry to go home, I'd read more, but I love knowing there is at least one free verse for me to read of yours later! Luv, Andrea

So much to ponder about and so true Harry..Lust sex and the pleasure of it are beautiful emotions but love isn t the same..Its even greater ..and goes beyond that..Love last longer than lusty emotions saying that.So amen to your anology about that.
