I have remembered

I have remembered,
that love needs,
glances, caresses, saliva.
Surrender without stinginess,
without stinting,
without inventing
false strategies.
Nor creating chimerical illusions,
nor promising
sterile encounters.
Nor is it built
by wandering in lust.
When fears
lurk like repulsive
repulsive witches.
I have remembered,
that love is built
with the rivers of blood,
and sex in torrents.
Imagining and making
and making it bloom healthy
and glorious.
I have remembered,
that love needs,
courage, determination.
