Love and Sex
 
 
I think I understand love
better than I know sex
Instinct taught me how to give
I had to learn to take
If in truth God there be
then lost and lonely He
did Man and Woman make
that they might willingly
return in love the gift of life
He then must take
to set his spirit free
 
Taking is the hardest form of love
rooted in humility
passion's pride unseats the humble soul
desire demands its selfish way
and when imposed not shared
the trust of loving sex is lost
to shame doubt and uncertainty
each then rides the waves alone again
lost in self once more 
never finding solid ground
never reaching shore
 
Love incurs no debt
there is no balance here
the fallacy of worship 
the blasphemy of fear
God wills the Good 
because it is Good
not because he wills it
Love freely gives up power
a willing sacrifice 
not to a self-important singer
but to the beauty of her song
 
Just as god gave up his power
in love then so must we
free of will to dominate
or to submit to force 
trust alone is absolute
with body mind and spirit too
united indivisibly
transcending time and self
a moment of eternity
Man and Woman in humanity
form a deeper momentary trinity
