Expressions of Love

                                                             Anticipatory... a touch, a caress, a kiss
                                                             shivers of warm, heated passion
                                                             yearning bliss

                                                             Familial... bonded with bright children's faces
                                                             heartstrings tugged at arrivals and leavings
                                                             hugs, cuddles, and teeth braces

                                                             Lustful... with vigorous desire
                                                             passion felt, rigorous
                                                             an unquenchable fire

                                                             Mature... empassioned through life's span
                                                             a state of mind, not an age
                                                             no bounds on woman nor man

                                                             Mornful... heartfelt, achingly lost
                                                             an ending, a leaving, a loss
                                                             world upended, tossed

                                                             Religious... of God and His teaching
                                                             rapt, devout, warm love
                                                             we, Heaven beseeching

                                                             Unrequited... 'twas never to be
                                                             unanswered, unknown
                                                             unwanted, by thee

                                                             Youthful... furtive, mischievous, artful display
                                                             exploring, self doubting, life's too slow
                                                             knowing all, all for today
