More precious

[joel]

More precious than Expected Love is yours,
my friend, my closest friend. And more than sweat
and sounds orgasmic do I value you,
but confidence I hold in high esteem
and character I treasure in my heart
and conversation stirs my gut for peace
and love irrupts from friendship – honest, true,
compassionate, divine – irrupts from you
for more than beauty bodily. Release
my love, O Love, to love my friend. Impart
my love, O Love, with love to lovely stream
like flows of joy and death commingled. You
are whom I love, my friend— more precious yet
than loves conventional— my soul adores.
