I once had a Connection

It was such an experience
The lips.. the excitement
The reaffirmation� the glow
The new Body-parts to touch
Hold� caress

But things change

We deliberately avoided
Later� a Future
A Tomorrow�
We wanted no weight on
Our spontaneity�
No representations to
Fulfill� nothing to impede
Today's rush

But things change

We each stated that we
Craved '
The New '�
Boredom was the
Nemesis�
PlusGood was not as
Good as
Best

We were Seekers�
We would continue the
Searching� for what we
Were not entirely certain

After a while

The purpose of the search
Dwindled in my mind� and
Then in my heart� my soul

But things change�
And time moves on

Since then there have
Been many Connections�
A few a little better
A few a lot worse
All have been pleasant
None are still here
The lips still come
Most still soft
The excitement still
Appeals� its sparkle
And glow perhaps just
Slightly tarnished

Earlier the
Connections
Were for fun� a chase
For joy� my self-esteem

Now the unions and
Sometime
Connections
Are to fill my need
For re-affirmation
� to
Demonstrate to me that
I am still desirable

Connections are still
Sought� some just
Tolerated� my view
Of the Connector in the
Mirror shows the image
Of myself

Maybe my habit will morph
My quest to avoid constant Sameness every day
Will be mollified

It might be nice to find a          New Connection� and stay
Long enough to find and see
Their soul

But how could the great
Scourge of relationships�
Boredom� be appeased

Is there no compromise
An
optimal alternative

Why do the persons have to 
Be changed�
replaced

Why can't the earlier ones
Be kept� and just be
Added to

Who said that's not possible
But Things
Change
