There is no doubt that kinks exist
from the vanilla to the extreme
sadomasochism asks for pain
while the fetish defines bliss
outside these avenues attraction lays
in the realm of pure appeal
not confused with the sport
playfulness between adults
oddities more than strange
no related to loving souls
relationships stand beyond
these attempts to spice it up
be they hetro or something more
pairings are based on romance
one to the other becomes their norm
declaring more than kink explores
put aside the prejudice
disregard when hate equates
depravities of the mind’s eye
with amour when spirits court
no matter how the bits may fit
acknowledgment may extend
to hearts entwined as one
asking all to honor love.

The poem “Honor Love” was inspired by a Tumblr meme that stated that LGBTQ relationships were not a type of kink. Declaring these valid relationships as possible aberrations of behavior does them an incredible disfavor as people strive to find somebody to love.
