Cummings Imitation

Which conditions under are you allowed
love
to be in?
Sex is a requirement says
whom to love another? With days as
short
as they are,

leap

should thoughts across one's mind
with or without lust the slightest bit.
Done and said, all, mind one's thoughts of
love
and one's love of thoughts of
love
and think of not the shallow exterior
but
interior, deep, desirable, passion-drowned.
Hesitant quivering are the actions initiated by
and led by nervousness
yet curiousness
the movements, awkward,
unsure pure
sure formidable.
Flash the images through quickly the brain
but
thoroughly the mind.
Wrong is an erotic experimentation
but
why then right are amorous feelings/"feelings"
between sheets
proceeding marital ceremonies?
Constrainedbyconditions
meaningless
contradictory
one's
love
may not exist.
Lacking permission for physical allure
to commence
love
lifeless
will cease to continue.
Which conditions under can love allow
you in?
