love song 4 6

Posted on November 16, 2007 by Dave Pollard
parrot 2so we’re now all together, new lovers and friends
we’re creating the future on which earth depends
overwhelmed by these feelings, this chemical soup
and the pleasures of loving our whole little group

you’re my reason to be, love you each more than life
but our role is much richer than husband or wife:
we are all polyamorous, six into one
we love each other equally, we’ve just begun

to share everything we are, six bodies, six souls
in intentional community, sharing goals,
lost in deep conversation or trembling with lust
we gift each to each other a deep sacred trust

sensitivity, strength, laughter, passion and joy
as a girl loves a boy loves a girl loves a boy
we’re a generous hexagon, open and free
not possessive or jealous, just three upon three

giving love in abundance, to each one in turn
we connect and combine, come together and learn
we’re alive with the promise of communal bliss
we exchange and we laugh and we touch and we kiss

we intend to be amor and eros and zen
on this intimate journey of women and men
full of joy full of hope full of caring and heart
we are never alone we are never apart

oh i love you! i love you! i love you! we’re one
with the earth and the stars and the sea and the sun
so sweet friends sail beside me we’re soaring above
we’ve discovered the meaning of life is just LOVE
