the necessities of love

with my tongue in my cheek

expressed in southern drawl

my voice may be unique

but i really love yall.

what kind of love is this,

which doesn’t need a kiss?

erotic love ain’t bad

between a lass and lad;

i find it hard to scorn

the reason we are born.

yet, agape love may be

another necessity.

we all need to discover

we need to love each other.
