Who were we kidding
Thinking we’d get intimacy
As easily as painting our lips
And setting forth for the bright lights?
Who did we meet but others
Wearing too much cologne
And hiding a lack of heart
Beneath suave charm?
Did we slake our hearts
With our random encounters?
With people who could write
A book on technique
But leave their hearts at home
Before stepping out for the night?
A friend told me about
“Empty sex”
It costs you nothing
But your soul.
Because here’s the thing:
Sex is not sacred,
But you are.
Saturn is going to make us work
To find someone
Who slays us
With the sound of their voice
With the wave in their hair
With the light in their eyes
Saturn is going to make us wait
Till hearts meld
Before the bodies can join the act.
indeed
Beautifully expressed, Neeti. I was born with Saturn conjunct Venus in Scorpio in my 6th house.
It’s the Saturn return of “Vallin” (same week Amy Winehouse was born). It took me until 1987 to meet Jennifer and until 1992 to meet Lalena who I actually married.
