Love takes many forms.




One Man

One man made her body sing;
songs of passion, barely remembered,
when he held her tenderly, gently,
and stoked the smoldering embers.
Another touched her mind;
calling forth the wisdom of ages,
so that she felt aware again;
a tome of many pages.
And then there was the spiritual man;
Leading her into herself,
 exposing depths of unknown origin,
until only humility was left.
A man who knew her heart songs
found her emotional plane;
and drew her out of herself again
in a blaze of glorious pain.
Convention says that she must choose,
for to covet them all is banned;
but oh, the tumult in her breast,
for she can not love just one man.

But you can only love one man! It is not right to play the field when a man loves you with all his heart.
