Love and Beauty

Lungs of outrage now, selfish and greedy,

I want something, anything of you g, to grasp,

Just human love, some air,

Just lie there

Screaming

With you

So, you lie to yourself

Say my tongue lies

All the Tracy’s of patriarchy, twisting your ear

Telling you you’re not loved?

Fact is

If you loved yourself, g

You’d not listen,

To the Freaks

Who

Draw all their power

From us

Listen to me

– strength comes –

Base things you do would usually turn me off another woman,

For some reason, in you makes you –

Not faulted, just human,

More irresistible

To touch

You touch me now,

Absent, even

Touched by you, in spirit, not flesh,

Love cascades out

Not present

Passion and nothing,

Nothing,

But love to grasp!

The only person I’ve ever loved, my whole soul comes in its full glory out

To touch you in power, for you all – for you –

Causes spirit of thunder

To pour out from me now

Mysticism says it’s wrong and burns in fire,

But I love you,

Just to grasp you,

G, selfishly, between my two thighs

I see nothing wrong in loving you,

With Love’s selfish desire

My human spirit’s fallen in love

And yet I never hold your embodiment of Beauty:

You, inside me
