That heat is born of love Some kind of casual affair could not conclude The definition perfect in its smallness and simplicity Where chemical reactions drive the blood And keys are given in a velvet-glove And fire starts in low warm coals About the lower hemispheres of desire Building breadth and fanning flames Not flash or detonation, not strike or run over But heat…warm and willing to listen and lather Yet all is seen with eyes on gain and consequence Perceptions that alone is sin and slight is better than not And strange that warmth remains beyond your linger If that is all there was, a dollop on a sweetened finger My taste is far more sensual than spattered art Technique of tempest drool with little spark The all of sacred learning boils within To not regret the un-condition that my love is in For you are more than that inside my soul That heat is born of love That we are filled and whole Copyright Kkh 4/22/04 |
