Love that is selfish, and love that is selfless
I understand that there is the love of greed
Then there is love, where you surrender to your own needs
Then to have breathed, and soaked in her essences
Then to be warmed and caressed by her presence
Love is not selfish, if you give into your own desire
Love is cherished by sacred acts, which upon we seed
That’s why my love oozes through unto thee
As you are the love that reflects into me
Selflessly I give myself unto thee
To be warmed by your presence, laying with me
I understand that there are two types of love
A love that is selfless and self-sacrificing
To cherish thy heart for the rest of my life
And warm thy body, beneath the stars above
Thy heart is a vessel and by it decree
I give myself freely, and all unto thee
To cherish thy love as you ebb into me
Love is the love, which burns beyond our desire
Quilled be thy hand, by the light of our fire
