Speaking of Love

I would speak of love
   if only, I knew how
  but so often, it did escape me
  and never did it once, try to take me
into its secret treasures only to be measured
  by those chemical and organic flesh pleasures.

How long and contemplative
  did I dream of that love so eloquently stated
 in texts and poetry of lover euphoria well elated
 so as you become entangled and immersed
remember that love is a mere temporary discourse
 and its desire is deep and often unrehearsed.

DM, Love so often lost in translation. Yet it wouldn't be a proper Valentine's day without 'Speaking of Love'. Happy Valentine's day.
