The Great Lover
The great lover:
Quiet, yet beneath a furnace;
Passion without fuss.
The greatest plus!
How can one explain it?
Concentrated, in the moment,
Expectations nil, from self or other;
Blend of lover and of brother.
How can one describe it?
Mind not pushing, body rushing,
Or conversely,
Mind not rushing, body pushing.
Blend of observation and involvement;
Participation all the way,
One might say, creation;
Jazz improvisation, for,
What happens happens.
This great lover is creative,
Not dependent on a pattern,
Yet there is one –
Never monochrome but comfortable like home.
Reader, do you follow?
Do I reach you?
I’m not boasting out of vanity,
But out of joy. Oh boy!
I’ve got him.
