Platonic Love

do not mistake
the kind of
love that
plato offers
during
his times

you say
platonic
one that
is pure
and free
from lust
one
that merely
gazes
at the other
without
hormonal
considerations
nothing
chemical
but pure
feelings
of being
intimate
and
sweet

i hear
it once
that plato
also loves
boys

and he
must
have called
it
platonic

baloney
