IF YOU'RE STILL THE SAME AFTERWARDS
IT WASN'T LOVE
(to nia, thanx for making me better)
to say
"i am touched
by you"
is to be
changed
/ into
a person neither of us
was before
entering the other
more open, a sun of sensitivity
emotionally nude, erupting joy
& willing to kiss life open mouthed
emoting the vibrancy of glow
endemic to souls in the flow
in fact, it's even unscientific
not to evol
ve/not to love, not to
grow & give back
the only humans who actually evolve
are lovers
all others
just simply fuck and reproduce
the transformation
of touch
that's all
love is
