Relent, for what is love made of
Friendship is the balm that binds
The meeting of two minds
Two personalities
Two lives.
But love is more
Love is the meeting of two bodies
Two passions
Two souls.
Relent and do not deprive us of love.
I walked through a thicket
And I was caressed.
It coursed through me
And warmed my heart
And I responded.
Love can do that
But, not without caresses.
October 1988
