Modern Living

I have met love,
witty and opinionated,
challenging and defiant,
she is love.

not my love,
not your love.
just love.

she is joy,
small gulps of blue moon,
small slender hands.
she is love.

not my love,
not your love.
just love.

I grasp her hips,
swinging back and forth,
mid morning breeze.
she is love.

never my love,
never your love,
just love.

eyes, deep and piercing,
unselfish, highly motivated,
the smell before it rains.
she is love.

why not my love,
why not your love?
she is just love.
