If Love was a Virtue

If Love was a Virtue

A Poem by Lady Shade

If love was a virtue

How would you define it

What values would you instill in it

How would you best fulfill it

Or give it dimension?

 

If passion were a flavor

How would you taste it?

Would things you know be in in

Like vanilla, cinnamon, or the smell of firewood?

How would you know what passion was

If physicality left you without it?

 

If lust were a flower

Would you inhale it?

Chew on it?

Put in a vase in your window

To awaken to and look at?

Capture in a photograph to remember

Or just indulge in

Love until it wilted

Or spread seed to make it grow

Eternal in your garden?

 

What do your dreams mean to you?

Are they havens from reality?

Moments to remember our love?

Escapes at night into a world

Where the two of us exist

Without the stresses of the real world?

Do we dance there?

Make love there?

Find happiness there?

Where do your dreams take you?

Where do they take us?

 

Do you wake up

Remembering

Knowing how I feel

Knowing what you want

Dreaming of the next time

 Our lips will meet

Our bodies will connect

Our minds will share?

 

Do you laugh

When you remember silly things we’ve done?

Smile when you remember the way I’ve looked at

You and looked into you and told you I love you?

Wanted to dance in the shower or sing out loud

Because you know I do and that I love the way you move?

 

What does the future hold for you?

For us?

For the magick I feel when I look at you?

I don’t dare question it; merely enjoy the moments I have with you.

I only hope you do the same.

 

I love you, honey.
