Eros, Philia and Agape

Baltimore Love Project, Hampden

One soul, two bodies,
both with intense longing
that transcends physical appetite.
My best friend, equal, alike in virtue,
we know passion without necessity of reciprocity.
Pure, this is love that consumes and surpasses all else.

Damn, this is good. An eye opener. There’s a poet inside you that I haven’t seen.

  I’m really flattered that you like it! Thank you so much, Tim. I am usually kind of embarrassed to share it here, but it just comes out sometimes.

  If they make me be the poet I’ve been hiding, please save me from the angsty trenches when I get too emotional!
