Cutting through Sexual Materialism

I'm withholding sex
as a social convention
though intimate rages
are often displayed.

The feelings I've had
course on through the ages;
they run on quite rampant
each night and each day.

You wanted to know
if my love for you dies
simply because if the fire resides
under the sheets where lives the flow
where is that love
and how can we know?

I'll tell you completely
the answer for me
is not in your eyes
or the touch of your skin;
it's the subsurface friction
of each word from within.
