How to Make Love
no deep secret here
simple truth for keen partners
use this power tool:
pay close attention
mate's small bids for connection
accept, don’t reject
turn toward, not away
turn-aways kill trust, troth, love
turn-towards cement bond
listen when she speaks
applaud her career success
laugh at her fun pun
meet kiss-hint with yours
subtle gestures flow both ways
turning toward makes love
