Love or Power Valentine

How much of the pleasure
of having a physical body
is often in abusing it or
enduring it being abused
love comes to transmute us
not to settle for the flesh
but first it must be disabused
of its power over the mind
after all it is the mind itself
which alone confers its power
to see the sense of surrender
the tenderness of acquiescence
and not to be afraid to love
for which the body arrayed
is only an early pretender
