The Hug
The Hug
If I said I want you,
Would your mind go straight to sex?
Would you not think better of me,
Than me whisking you off to bed?
Yes I want your body, pressed upon me tight,
To look so deeply in your eyes captive in your light.
To look upon the happiness sparkling in your eyes,
Feel your heart beat loudly as it lies here next to mine.
Wrap my arms around you pulling you close to me,
Holding you so tightly it takes my breath from me.
This simple hug, in which I share with you my love,
If this could be my eternity I could be happy ever more.
About this poem
Love is so much more than sex. The emotions run deeper than the physical and are so much more fulfilling. The emotional bonding and joining brings two people closer than any other act on earth
