Tell It Like It Is
Oh, it’s a complete package—
Love and sex,
You cannot have one
without the other.
I love my parakeet
but I cannot go do…
You know what I mean?!
But sex alone is
A pitfall, a delightful deceit,
A black widow, a chimera, a mirage--
A romantic nonsense!
It is ephemeral, a concubine of time;
It shackles our free will,
Curbs our freedom…
A momentary bliss,
Lifetime to rue!
Love is a misnomer;
If love means worship
It is God,
If it means companionship
It is a spouse,
If it means camaraderie
It is a friend;
But put together—
Love and sex,
They can either be:
The pinnacle of bliss
Or
The pit of abyss!
