THE ART OF LOVE

Come make love, the muses say
Live and love in ectasy
Find the mate who brings surcease
And all the world will come to see.

When we come to making love
Our hearts tell us, one way will do
Not so my friends, come listen
And I will tell you two.

Of one we know, it's common talk
Fabled romance of stories told
Great loves upon the golden screen
Our private lives when we were bold.

What more you ask to making love
Our bodies seek desire supreme
Our minds invent ingenious plans
What more to satisfy our dreams?

Make love by listening with your heart
By giving of yourself and caring
Love her with a helping hand
By being there and sharing

To work it must be mutual
Years of thought can make it real
Through hard times and good times
Look back and let your life reveal

Her place is here beside me
And will always be, I pray
We share the joy and failures
Make love this very special way.
