Why I don’t love her 2015


I do not love her for her eyes

though I admit they threw me in

 as honey might a bear

or a been to open petals of a flower

encouraging me to go deeper

when I might have done otherwise

 I do not love her for her smile

the singularly attractive slant of lips

I always ache to kiss

 to feel them against mine

 to know what is divine

I do not love her for the tips I nip

 in the act of making love

 or the hips against which I pound mine

 I love her for all that is beyond sight

 or touch or reach for

 the mystery buried so deep inside her

I need a lifetime to reach

to touch, to kiss, to share love
