P.C. Love
“I want and need you now.”
“But wait,” she said.
“If want’s on top, should need lie still below?”
“You’ve stifled want. Desire by ethic led,
I’ll tell you straight, the plinth for love to grow.
The core of self is need that wakens wants.
The pleasure principle, you know, is strong,
but, far from need, this want is mere response.
It always seems to feel right, but it’s wrong.
The need, the heart of love, is reached through touch,
the warming, healing rub of textured feel,
and through your speech, ‘I love you very much.’
The trials of talk and touch are love’s ordeal.
To reach the core, take risk, disclose, and trust.
You fear to fail? You’ll never fail to fear the more.”

Alice
Deep inside our understated pact,
the fine print veils the frequent tender terms
in telling moves that only we can read.
Yet I regret my trust in silent acts.
This can be exactly what I was looking for, thanks
Outstanding post, I think website owners should learn a lot from this blog its really user genial.
This is the right blog for anyone who desires to seek out out about this topic. You realize so much its almost onerous to argue with you (not that I actually would need…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just nice!
