Romance Lust or Love?

Diamond teardrops on a red rose

Brush the damsel’s delicate nose

 A crimson blushed cheek softly glows

An innocent soul believes what it knows

 

Soft-whispered entreatments

Bejewel her angel-like wings

As she soars close to heaven

To her aching the heat of love brings

 

Sails in full bloom billow and blows

Her maiden promise like petals unfolds

Floating away in a world of her own

Dreaming of a blinding white gown

 

What of that prince Paramore?

Bearing the essence of love’s young dream

Stealth-like he covers her this makeshift knight

Hymen stolen this false-hearted lover makes for the door.

What a gorgous poem, just love that second stanza, I found it quite spiritual. For me it was romantic and dare I say lustful through and through. Nothing wrong with a bit of lust on Valentines day.wink

Love to get sex or sex to get love?  Perspective I guess.  I am a powerful romantic and like to be spontaniuous.  To me love transcends desire, it's simply a part or should be of a relationship. I was having a bit of a go at the male urge to mate and the hope in the lady that she is loved. I was also distancing myself from the lack of sensitivity my gender sometimes suffers from.  It took me years to learn, but I am married to a wonderful teacher...
