Love's Moment

LOVE’S MOMENT

trying to think through
my mental calendar,
the mystic moment
i first experienced love
simply cannot become clear

age realizes 
that love is a growing process -
those tender    or firm
touches    points of awareness
happening along the wheel 

how impossible
to single out a moment.
age realizes
love is a whole bunch of things
coming slowly together

i’m gone fishing now –
how important is one’s need
to revelation,
yes, the fulfillment of need
along life’s bumpy highway?

      my need is fulfilled
      the sex    companionship
      is nicely fulfilled
      how warm and satisfying
      how wonderful for a while

love?    yes, of a kind.
back to the mystic moment
and one’s gratification.
growth does slowly define
the moment – one comes out of self

Paul Callus March 12, 2016 at 3:57 AM I agree with you, Dave...love is a growing process. Initially we might think that attraction, sex, etc is what constitutes love, but it is in due time that the real meaning takes shape. ~ All the best...paul
