Another Word?

I seek to expand the terminology but you can use a better word
always room for improvement if so inclined
bare with me as I share my thought process with you
maybe something useful from my mind

With the word fuck suggests something raw
primal delights devoid of emotional weight
but it doesn't convey a sense of beauty
the sincerity of needing that one mate

Lovemaking would seem perfect for a later stage
when more about each other is known
the connections go beyond physical
something more than an erect manhood has grown

But somewhere in between let's find a word proper
for that stage when things are still explored
that point where you think but aren't certain
both you have some kind of chord

A tie that isn't eternal but isn't made of string
comfortable but not a heavy scene
provides a fluidity to your actions
see if you can dig what I mean

And tell me what comes to your lips now
when you ponder a dynamic ideal
a middle stage for an relationship
conveying a sense of what two really feel?
