Whether Pure or Not
Within her dwells a diary of grief.
Notes of loves lost, or those missed along the way.
I knew nothing of that. When we kissed, I felt her spirit give birth to flesh.
Ah, the joy of human touch!
Through her wet eyes, I saw her young soul’s sweet longing,
as if desiring my spirit. Could such strong feelings be pure?
Not likely, but if our first desires are only of the flesh,
then these tools of pleasure might be portals to new depths of love,
or not.
We can only know by entering.
We embrace and smile, feeling each other's warmth.
It is a joyful thing to be desired by another. It is enough.
But her young moist eyes seem to say,
“We must act now on our desires, whether pure or not.”

Echo LilDragonFly's comment. Favourite lines:

We can only know by entering [so say we men LOL, thinking 'Biblical' sense of knowing]

Love, is hard to sustain without touch; and there’s a number of ways to touch.
To touch the heart, and set it ablaze is what makes us yearn for more. But the last few lines capture the gist of such, in that there’s opportunity; you either take it or leave it, which is the answer to the authors note.
A fine write…🙏😇

I will say that I do not believe in anything. (I think this is a most desirable stratagem)
but not in the Darwinian sense, but I have wondered, in theory, at the various attributes of humans, in the light of the concepts of evolution and survival of the species... or some other purpose driven design.
and then looked at these things from a place of heightened consciousness, like a HAARP lit sky, a heated ionosphere, and I see that I am an individual evolution, in this sense, and I am or can be detached...
and I feel like that might be the best way to approach these things, in most circumstances, although there are exceptions...
Thought provoking
Nicely done.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I've felt that sense of detachment at times and it can work quite well in acquiring pleasure. Then it seems, there's a level of pleasure from entering relationship with another and recognizing his/her evolving self while maintaining a sense of my own evolving self. Makes me dizzy to think about, but that's part of the fun...
