Everybody does it (a sonnet)

Yes, indeed.  Well, almost everybody.  And it's even better if you do it right.


surpassing expectations


It is the norm, the common place, the same
for each impassioned couple which creates
the basic actions in the mating frame.
For in its base simplicity it sates
the special need for procreation, yet
if it were only that, we would be just
like animals that merely only get
the cause and outcome -- not the naked trust,
the seeing and the holding mingled, merged
with clear emotion and the awesome sheer
entrancement of the shared connection.  Urged
by want and hope and love (ideally) -- near
to both depravity and godliness,
they make a meaning words cannot express.
