Eden’s Snake
Come into my book and peruse,
As the virile lover and his virgin maiden’s vibes do fuse
He and she lost in an exotic, most blinding kiss
He deflowers, over-showers, the inviting miss.
‘Twas her scent and beauty and his wooing
her receptiveness, succumbed and doing
and don’t tell me for G’d’s sake
that it was the fault of Eden’s snake!

Forbidden Fruit
Sex, love,
forbidden fruit
Undressed,
uncovered in the nude
Are here to whet your appetite
And tease your emotions with delight
Release your inhibitions, feelings all
Taste heartily forbidden fruit and elevate the fall.

in
a thousand ways
Let’s
keep loving them.

Love always! Is that not the unique spirit - that magic unexplained power ever present in every person? Pedantic, graphic, spiritual love? I don’t know! I do know love flows in your veins in many stages. Can you feel it?
Love, with all its meaning, is a natural phenomena, part of
you and me. Love spirits us to great heights. It occupies our mind.
It brings us great inner joy and enthusiasm. If, unfortunately, our goal of sharing this love is not obtained, a period of failure, sadness, or even depression may set in. Love in youth is turbulent, exciting - always searching for fulfillment. He who can love openly (not promiscuously) partakes in one of the greatest gifts in nature.
Do not be afraid – express your love. Love is your treasure. Love
breaks all boundaries, all races, and all creeds. Simply said: I love!
It is wonderful. Love transcends from youth to death.
So what should I call my little book? Love Always! My rhymes and poems speak of the ethereal, earthy, physical love. The yearning, searching, and wooing. Unabashed love does always creep into our minds. It’s in our soup, our clothing, and our love for nature. It is the love for intellectual sharing and stimulation. It is the love of sports: participant or observer. Glued to our music, danced to our hearts’ delight, each of our hobbies is a personal love.
Yet the most important love is the love for another human being. Can you love, but not be in love at that moment? Have love feelings but not be committed? Love is so much more than sex! You, I, all of us are connected somehow. LOVE ALWAYS! Sounds like live
always. Be the optimist. Love is yours and no one can take it away from you!
Yet know that you and I are but passengers in time. Luckily, while we travel this mercurial road, we are bombarded with the aura of love. From this love, these certain feelings and perceptions, our lives are influenced forever.
Can I have more love?
you ask hopefully. Of course. Love’s intensity changes, just like the agony of pain, love’s nemesis and opposite. Can I fill my imaginative treasure with more love or will the treasure overflow?
I am no expert, no doctor, and no scientist. So, please take my parables and bits and pieces of love with a grain of salt. You know you have the capacity to love. You know that you want to share your love with certain people. You know that love can carry you on a magic carpet to great heights, cascade you to the next in minutes into the valley of numbness. Be careful. I’ll never forget my love. I am in ecstasy in her presence. I still feel pangs in my stomach when we part. I do still love her. These are but a
