How shall I show thee how much I do care
For you, my love, are all that I desire
Thy smile is warm, and skin so soft and fair
Forever will my heart burn passion’s fire
To lie in bed and hold you close to heart
The tingle of thy breath upon my neck
Sculptures entwined to mock platonic art
Not two, but one embarking on life’s trek
But love extends much farther than the touch
In sooth, our minds and souls were formed the same
And lover using lover as a crutch,
All secrets told and loyalties proclaimed
    Though time corrodes youth’s passion to a dust,
    Eternal love is far more than youth’s lust
