Ignite a Flame

I’ve been judged more
for being a virgin
than anything else.
I don’t see why.
Call me old-fashioned,
but I want to make love,
not just have some midnight fuck
to call up a few times a week.
I want to feel my love
dissolve into her
and vice versa.
I want to caress her in my arms,
and allow her to fit wonderfully
into my curves,
as if meant for one another.
I want to be consumed
by raw passion and desire,
both fueled by an undeniable
connection of the soul.
I want to grow in love
by adding an unreplicated physicality.

Anything else,
in my opinion,
just isn’t worth my time.
This life
is too damn short
to waste time
just getting fucked
and not letting your soul
ignite a flame
with another human being.
