this love we hide

a woman is as sensitive
as a man.

we are all looking to become
engaged,
enamored,
smitten,
taken aback,
relieved,
and satisfied.

we want
to find a connection
with someone
that compliments us
on an entirely higher level.

a man is as sensitive
as a woman.

we are all looking to be
enjoyed,
realized,
abundant,
worthy,
and loved.

we want to be experienced,
touched,
held,
fondled,
and cradled
in the arms of someone
who personifies our need.

in this
there is no room
for lies,
deceit,
misdirection,
or dysfunction.

we are all of this
sensation,
this yearning,
this discovery of ourselves
through the affection
of another.

we are all of this
and there is no room for nonsense.
