love "making"

I like the term love making

love is worth
making

making better

making more conscious

making more communicative


what if every communication
were a
chance
to
"make"

love more real

what if the various thrashings around
under the sheets
were
slowed
slowed
slowed

way down

and the big huff and puff to climax
were sidestepped

and in
the slow
slow
slow

the making
of the WE
that baby of US

were what was important?

wouldn't that be a worthwhile way
to waste time
in the flesh

or in
the talk

or in
the silence
of non talk
not touch

but together

making....

what?

ah, discovery


good

what if waking up were the game

we get lost,
don't we,
often / usually
in relationship?

at first it's mutual play

and then,
since we never learned to fill ourselves with
inner attention

we demand/ crave/ get addicted
to attention from this wonderful person
we start out loving

and then end up trying  to maneuver this wonderful other person to
"meet our needs"

ahhh.
if you ever think that one,
"getting my needs met"
love is long gone

how
to
get
it
 back?

wake up

pay attention
to you

to the other

simple

( well,
simple to say,
and the work of enlightenment to do.


however the reward is high...
real love)
