Sex is simple

Sex is simple
Easily obtained
Easily enjoyed
Easily completed
Fleeting ecstasy
Spasm of pleasure
And on we go.

Love is so much trickier
Feared because it binds
Sought because it frees
Denied if not perfect
Perfect only in abandon
Oft abandoned for a fantasy
Fantastic when truly found

If only love were as simple as sex
To find and accept and embrace . . .
But no.  
We value what is rare, what is hard-fought and won.
Were true love that simple, it would be cheap.
Easy to get and easier still to dispose of
Like so much simple sex.
