Time drips slowly
on the soil of my being
my hands touch it
shape desire into love
lust into care
I look at what I have done
and add again a bit of lust

This short poem is an allegory that with patience and a good deal of nurturing, we can change ourselves, who we are and how our relationships are shaped.
It is not a matter of decision making, rather, it is a matter of being conscious of personal growth that takes time. For me, I sought a deeper kind of love, but without losing the spark of desire that makes the bond with my Beloved strong enough to overcome the challenges that we are different human beings.
