What is Love?

Engaging conversation
Curious negotiation
Awkward moments
Lazy meanderings
Painful separation
Longingly aching
Explosive re-uniting
Dry-mouthed anticipation
Wondrous exploration
Bodies colliding
Whispering kisses
Relieving relaxation’s
Lives melding
Reality reforming
Meaning constructed
Heaven on Earth

Caught in a romantic mood and wanting to write a poem shorter than the love poem done earlier this month, this was the result. The "bodies colliding" bit came first, then I built the poem around it, using the two words per line idea, mostly writing word pairs. Then, to break the pattern at the end, a three word line to leave the reader with the unconscious recognition that the pattern had been broken. Sneaky, huh?
