Two Unusual Love Poems For Valentine's Day
I started writing poetry as a child. I write performance poetry, observational, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious human rights issues
What Is Love, How Can Love Be Defined?
What is the essence of love? It's hard to put your finger on it.
It's part chemistry, part imagination, some say it happens instantly, others that love can grow on you.
Some people never feel it, others feel it often. Some people confuse lust with love, and can't tell the difference.
Some people think you can only love one person, others that loving one person does not exclude your loving another, serially or monogamously.
And, Of Course, As Well As Romantic Love, There Is Platonic Love, And Love Of Your Family And Friends
We also speak of love of food, drink, and physical items. Then there is the metaphysical love of provable things like truth, generosity and heroism, and the love of things which require an act of faith and which so far have not been scientifically proved, like angels, fairies, God and other deities.
Here's the First Poem - Sleeping Around
Bad Diana!
Sleeping Around
Shall I tell you who I kissed
While we were sleeping?
I kissed the postman
When his hand came through the door
I kissed the milkman
When he stopped off on his round
I kissed the fireman
With a burning passion
Bit off more than I could chew
But as the night progressed
I dimly realized
That every man I kissed
Was really you.

A Broken Heart
What Are Your Thoughts On Love? With Love Comes Joy, Pain, Surrender Of Independence, Obligation And Sometimes Loss
And here's the second poem:
E J P
If EJP
Were a key
It would unlock
The door to my heart;
If EJP
Were a lock
I would embrace
My imprisonment;
If EJP were a door
I would open it wide
And step inside.
But he is a man
Who hides in a box
I can't read his mind
Or unpick his locks
If he were a key
The key to my life
He'd be my husband
And I'd be his wife
