Worth the Wait

How inadequate it would be
for me to say
you have been well worth the wait.
Human beings feel this
loneliness bone-deep, a great hunger
a yearning to feel
the greatest experience, the right
mating of body and heart.

Deliberate Love

The capacity to love with
body and soul
is within one's control.
Deliberate love should take hold
of desire
and want with all that
raging heart.
