as we lay in a tangle
of sheets,arms,legs,
blonde hair and black
panting through the waves of our after-lust
i understood with a finality beyond reason that
lust has morphed into love
into lust into love into lust
yet again and never-ending
this is the pattern of my life with you
neither money nor honor nor
bleeding hearts can keep
me from you now

It puts me in mind of a comment a rather tasteless fiend of mind used to make: heels over head in love. Sorry.

I really liked the phrase “with a finality beyond reason.” And “honor” made me curious.
I didn’t make it by last week, but also went back and read your “aahhh spots” post.
Welcome to 3WW.

Thanks for the well wishes, Caroline and Gautami
Markus, no need to be sorry…sometimes it begins that way.
Thanks, Bone. 3WW has really helped me with discipline and structure…two concepts I need to work on.

Doesn’t seem like such a bad pattern to follow to me…

The words and the form remind of me of a missile of love. xD
