When All You Can Think of is Sex

When all you can think of is sex,
it's presumed you're young…
or old, 
fully focused on death.

Either view’s too simple.
The heart is a tool needing use;
to keep nerve and muscle
alive
to the pull of sex;:

to convince the mind
that our body is there for creation,
not the waste of war.

Take a lesson where waves crash in
over and over
like a thrusting lover
in the clasp of a ravenous seashore
wanting ever more.
