When Does Love Begin?
When does love begin?
Is it from the eyes,
As they seem to see for the first time?
Perhaps it is from the ears-
At the first words
Or listening to your seranades,
Your voice's cadence in your melodious laughter,
I know! It is from the hands
As our hearts touch,
It is from the first kiss
As you release your soul into me,
No, it must be from the stomach-
That tingle when I think of you,
From the skin,
Those goosebumps as our bodies collide.
I think it may be from the tear
That never touches the ground-
The one that evaporates in mid air
Because of the heat from your rising radiating smile
And the setting cool climes of your soul,
Your nubile grace-
Limber waist-
Ahh, it is from the sweet sweat descending from your
erect rotund breasts,
Or is it simply because it is you?
I don't know for sure when love begins
But this I know,
If I blew out all my love for you,
I would create a hole in the sky.
