Love Me Hard

“Love is so short, forgetting is so long.”

--Pablo Neruda.

In my youth, with discovered raging hormones,

love and lust were interchangeable, inseparable. 

So many exciting & sexy lovers on parade,

as Eros captivated & ruled every waking moment--

and only intensified in my smoldering slumber,

as I was often awakened to throbbing erections

and steaming wet dreams, prancing and dashing

about, fully stimulated, like a young stag in rut.

But then I began to consider serious relationships,

to confine my erotic focus on one woman, to seek

out more meaning, less haze, deeper commitment.

It took three marriages and forty chaotic years

of searching, stumbling, experimenting to finally

find the actual bona fide love of my life--my real wife.
