Terminology
of Love
(c)2014
Bob Atkinson
terms
of love evolve in time
from
where we stand right now
language,
such a fluid river
expands,
contracts, evolves
in
marriage such controversy
on
what to call these unions
confounds
and confuses me
contributes
to my disillusion
in
time participants are destined
to
drift apart in their hearts
requiring
outside stimulus
association
with other tarts
this
doesn't mean you love less
that
partner you have taken
just
means you need strange nuhky
to
broaden out your station
let's
call this deed "constructive loving"
or
"love-two" if you will
or,
"yes I would, if I could"
or
"love
you deeply for a bill"
so
you see there lies in wait
terminology
we might use
if
we need to explain
ourselves,
our wiggly moves
love
for humankind
doesn't
stop when we leave home
just
takes on somewhat different
values,
actions and forms
