But we choose lust
Becoming sucked into a whirlpool
Where all that exists
Every thought amiss
Every tiny kiss
Leads to something meant to be
A precursor to the event
Of sex
Of passion and heavy breath
But love itself
Is all there is
Every ecstatic kiss
Lifts us from the pit
Because it reminds us
There is more than this flesh
We ascend with every moment
We are redeemed by the presence
Of love in our being
Love is life
Flesh is death
Forever and thereafter
Amen
