The Genesis of Love
Background: I wrote this for a sweet couple who was just starting on a new relationship.
The Genesis of Love
This nervousness, this delicious trepidation
As one heart meets the other, stirring into motion.
The shy smiles, the throaty chuckles
As the souls grow together, like rose and honeysuckle;
Through companionship, through learning
Hearts adapting, thirsty and yearning.
May this sweetness, flourish and grow
Into a wild beauty, loyal and whole.
