Ode to Moderation
Love streams out of me
like tap water from a faucet
sometimes hot
sometimes cold
but mostly tempered am I
Once I was turned on to hot for comfort
a vulnerable soul was caught
in the outpouring of my steamy demise
luckily … poached not roasted
I have tasted chilled affection
and find it to be remorsefully refreshing
straight from the fountain
laced with a sprig of mint on a warm summers eve
it tends to give me one of those quick headaches
But mostly tempered am I
like a favorable worn faucet
never to scorch
never to shatter
simply spattering even
drip
drip
drippings
of love
