my heart is the paramour of neurochemical excitement
my body is a slave to erotic enticement
love is ever-changing—my cypher and my angel
its fires burn deep inside—overpowering and contagious
once inspired my eyes are forever fixed—wide open and dilated
i hold a place in my soul for every lover i’ve ever lain with
the ensuing confusion is overwhelming and all pervading
i struggle with boundaries—often porous and ever changing
i’m in love with the struggle to transform our society
i’m inspired by the love that burns deep inside me
i fall so easily for faces and bodies that are elusive
i long for bonds that are simpler and less self-abusive
i live with a heart divided—polyamourously confused
i strive for clearer parameters—for karmic strength reborn and renewed
