Faithfully Polyamorous

If you have it in your heart to love yourself, I am likely to love you (given a chance). If not to the heights and the depths then Perhaps still to the width of your soul. I do not say that I excel under pressure, Or that, at night, the stars consume my breath, More that width is my forte, that girth, That mirth is something I can put my arms around. And if you have ever loved the fog that both can hide, And yet embrace all your disparate parts, I might be a man with whom you could be intimate. But how, on God's green earth, could an honest man Ever claim to love, to desire, just one woman alone. Horsefeathers, I say and then say again! Horsefeathers! Brian Johnston January 5, 2018
