'Enchanted 02/10/09 Poem by Margaret Alice

If all you require to fulfill your longing for
someone is a good romp, anybody will do
go ahead, enjoy yourself

If you long for the presence of a special
person, without thinking of doing anything
feeling has value

Sex is meaningless fun and should be
treated as such

Loving someone for their essence is so
different, there is no comparison

Loving means perceiving a different person and
a new world as you look through the perspective
of your love

Loving means feeling like a different person in the
beloved’s presence and does not demand anything
in return, hoping for reciprocal feeling, but
demanding and according total
freedom of choice

Loving means feeling enchanted by the way another
person’s being and essence touch and influence you

Desire means admiration and need and requires nothing
but immediate satisfaction, gives nothing in return but
momentary, fleeting pleasure and leaves no mark,
impression or memories, no scars, pain or regret

Loving which leads to sacrifice and hard work, leaves a
lasting impression and changes you so you are never the
same again

You become a more wonderful, richer person once
the beautiful feeling and memory of love enters and
nourishes your heart, and you allow it to sweeten
your thoughts for ever more.

Love as good old momentary fun cannot take you high or
bring you down, it is nice and can be enjoyed without
any problem or thought.

If the one you had in mind is not available, any congenial
person will do.

BUT when deep love is present, your heart will be different
and you can go as high as you allow yourself to go.
