Heartwise

Sex is the Oh
Nature is Awe
Which will last longer,
Once you withdraw?

Hugs are felt heartwise
By those employed
What better to dry eyes
When redeployed?

Which be remembered,
Far longer in time,
The arousal or closeness
Over lifetime?

Both items are needed
To fill up life’s journey
So be sure and get both
Before exiting gurney.
(preferably in the same mate)

And if you can’t find
Or be close enough
Or let you unwind
Then that’s awfully tough.

I’ve been fooled a few times
For closeness that wasn’t,
And when I found out
I turned and chose not.
