Many-Faced Love. - Poem by Fay Slimm

Facets of affection fluctuate ascetically,
undulate from mere fondness
to adoration.
Yet sandwiched between
can be cool synthetical
love.
A naively misplaced lifetime vocation
which some advocate
is quite enough,
to display an avid distaste
of strong emotion and antidote
is taken towards
ardent states of mind.
But I will decline if fate
offers me no deeper, core-felt feelings,
which afford
warmer incisions into my heart.
Excitable
sensuous, tenderised facets of love, desiring
attachment for life,
but with need for a rightful passion.
To this I subscribe, and admit love's firey
side which will set alight flames
to the face of amour.
This is the kind of relationship
my heart yearns for.
