Will To Love Poem by Jorge Alexandre

The flesh in starvation decapitates selflessly from the bone,
Unknowing to the drench lips of love;
From years of repulsion, and being alone.

Atone the flesh of compulsion to drink from loves dear lips,
Knowing reason is soon to wither,
And all Cupids missing arrows are now hits.

Together thirst rejoices on heavens waters to bid thee welcome,
The mutilated heart speaks not,
And sees not, and yet understands the fathom.

Soon hunger awakes and distraught all living meat to bone,
Desire is soon injected;
Poisoned to the bloodstream of the known and unbeknown.

Soon life all cries as thy lips of love with their wetness dies,
All of the thirst refilled,
A life without love, is a life without will.
