Love Verses Sex

Taken from my journals while i was going through my seperation...

Sex is a temporary feeling,

Love is a never ending emotion,

Like waves in the ocean,

It can be calm and soothing,

Yet crash and drift you out to sea.

With such intensity;

You can have sex without love,

Never having to mesh the two;

That’s what happening between me and you.

I can’t remember the last time you made love to me.

It’s now just a satisfying urge, nothing more.

You don’t feel the way you did before.

I will never know how open you were with another.

The type of emotion you shared with her.

All I know is at one point,

she was in your mind and heart.

At least that is what you told her;

A comment that still tares me apart;

I asked if you felt love and you confessed that you did,

But later admitted that you never felt it;

I just wonder if a life with her you pondered.

What was it she gave you that made you continue to wander?

But now you’re not with her you say,

claimed to have walked away.

I realize that sex is a dangerous tool.

It tempts you, turns you into a fool.

Has the power to make you risk everything you love.

All for instant gratification;

I was also a victim of it's game,

Using it to block the pain,

Afterwards I felt ashamed.

But love is constant and never lies.

And to make love to someone can be beautifully defined.

A connection between the heart, soul and mind;

It’s what we had, and lost over time.

I payed no attention to form or grammer really, so don't hold it against me... lol

Great poem! read like a journal piece, and emotions were brimming to the top on this one. it's true, you can have sex, and it can mean nothing, but love is something that is so much better, so much deeper, and it is def more binding. sex without love is meaningless. a relationship built on sex will end soon, and I like how you reflect back on a relationship where the love had fizzled, and there was only the carnal connection, which he could find elsewhere too.

great job.

Great expressive piece. Reminds me of my own physical impulsiveness... And the beauty felt when the art is expressed in its spontanueity. But also... There is nothing like love. True love. I definately share your views because i've compared love to water many times in other poems i've written and its a perfect anology. Perfect. The power of experiencing love and losing it can drive someone completely mad. Especially if all your focus was going in that direction. I love the truth in your ability to separate sex and love. The cause and effect between the two and the differences in the feelings. This is another attractive piece to me that takes the reader into the world of desire. And the appex of joy and sorrow without regretting the overall experiences themselves. Very alluring
