The sound, the constant sound echoing within the heart; drip, drip, drip, drip. The continuing slow drip, when the heart needs to see… an endless flow. Even though you believe, you’ve tightened up the loose end. Thought you’ve fixed the problem, thought you’ve dealt with the issue? Your heart wonders, is it just you? Is it just your heart, and soul that just won’t let it go? It’s frustrating, it seems so annoying. You cover your ears, but it echoes throughout heart, and soul. Drip, drip; why does the heart keep on listening, to the negative perspective? When the ears keeps saying, talk to the hand. I’m a handyman, but it’s the heart that has determined; it’s a matter of the heart. Oh me, oh my heart; wants to know, why just one drip at a time? When the heart would rather have a constant flow. A love that won’t stop dripping, water flowing into the soul. Love will never be filling, until you embrace every little drip!
A heart coming to realize, every constant drip… still water. To let wash away fear, and drown the heart in the love. If your heart can’t embrace drips, how can it truly handle more… love. At the very least, learn how to enjoy every moment; will be the overflow. A heart not scared, to let every drip of love flow. A heart willing, to take in every drip. For it’s not about, how much love you get in each moment; but how consistently it comes. Embracing little drips, until it becomes a heart drowning. A silent river may run deep, but will never be heard. If you don’t let the dam break, so the love can run even deeper. Love is powerful, when every drip flow relentlessly. Love can start off as just a little drip of water, but when the flow is truly forever; it becomes an ocean. Let it sink.. in, not just let the love… go down the drain. Endless will never truly mean forever, without a heart willing to embrace; the little Drip, Drip moments!
Let me tell you the story, how it drove a heart to passionately want. Set out to unapologetically steal, what wasn’t mine. I was young, some called me crazy; said I was making a huge mistake. A decision, that was going to ruin my life. Call me naive if you will, I wasn’t looking at the writing; they struck upon the wall, just the love written… on the desire. The co-conspirators; heart, and soul. It was a want, but also something I needed to do. If I truly believed what a voice, whispered into my soul. The passion drove thee, but all they could see, just a crime. It was thirty two years ago, when my heart committed; but it’s the act itself, that will forever be remembered. The crime they saw, but the passion I felt. My heart was heavily invested, I guess you can say; “the heart wants, what the heart wants.” Powerless to stop, wasn’t the conviction. Call it what you truly will, but I forever vowed; to stand by my heart’s conviction!
She never saw it coming, the love took her by surprise. It was a predestined encounter, a soul looking for love. Her heart fit the profile, a glistening rare jewel. A silent river runs deep, but even I didn’t yet know how deep? The ability, to the reason; completely swept away. I got what I wanted, there was no going back; the crime was carried out. The love was out of the bag, what’s a girl to do? She surrendered, to the power of an irresistible charm. Well, that’s how it played out… in my mind. The crime of the century, not; but it surely will be talked about for decades, by a convicted heart. Enjoy my new found jewel, that was my every intention. But I had to be very intentional, not treat what I had; like just another possession. This love, was so much more than that. Someone can else take, what you don’t choose to hold close to your heart. The day came, when I had to confess. Be a man, tell the one who’s heart I stole. What got into my heart, what led me to that moment in time? Go back to the scene of the crime, reveal the true intention, and deeply confess. I went down on one knee, I needed to ask the question; will you…
Months later the day came, it wasn’t a trying time. Even though, I had to stand before the peers. As they watched me stand there, to tell the one I perpetrated the stealing of heart. Walked towards me, to look me straight in the eye. They watched to see, if I would totally crack under pressure. Fall apart, or fall even deeper… into a lovely moment? I didn’t need to plea, try to get a lightly scented… handkerchief. I didn’t need to wipe off the love, to my face; coming out of the pores. Forever, what it is. It was the never ending walk, for her to get to where I stood… strong. I was moved only by the beauty, unveiled in my poetic justice. Get what my heart and soul, had coming. She finally reached, stared deep into my heart. The decision came down, for what my soul had to answer. In love forever, or forever in love? That was the dilemma, the room went absolutely quiet; trying to hear my heart’s confession. Tell her what she needed to hear, out of the depth of my soul. I Do, I Am, I Will, I Did… take; you’re my forever!
I looked, waited; but heard no one objections. She needed to know the truth, absolutely deserved the answer. Clearly, decisively my heart said. I’m guilty, wanting to take your heart; as my own. Just as I said that, I heard a voice in my heart say; “this is your beloved, in whom I am well pleased!” The verdict was in, my heart knew with absolute certainty; it was the right decision. I am guilty, my heart knew what it was doing. The clear intention from the start, steal her heart. Not to be part of a collection, but be forever treasured. The beautiful, heart shaped gem. I’m not ashamed of the love, my soul wants to be; forever shackled to this truth. I will never show any remorse, or have a case brought; to be presented as having regrets. I refuse to take back my confession. Chain my heart to the confession, for a thousand years. Lock my heart up within the love, throw away the keys. The time of passion, has no statute of limitation. I’m in for life, and I will never have a need… to be freed!
Lady, from the moment we met. It was clear to me, there was something to the encounter. You may not have known it, but I believe your heart took a quick glimpse, into my soul. A racing heart, but stopped by the gaze. The encounter left the soul with a question, for the heart to ponder. Was she the one, that has been part of my dreams? Every time our hearts met, it was our heaven. Your heart, my love; part of a glorious design. I didn’t vow to have you, but there was a chase; you stole my heart. So, what’s a man left to do; vow to love her… forever. A love that has given my heart, strength when I am weak. Much comfort, knowing my soul has your heart to lean on. Your love has been a lighthouse, when I have lost my way. Standing on what’s sure, a heart wide open, your love the treasure. May, the month and a day; we vowed to give forever, so hearts we exchanged!
My love, from the depth of my soul; I tell you this. Your love, all I’ve ever needed. What I am today, you’re very much part of the reason. What I have in you, what makes my heart complete. All my dreams came true, with the love I have found in you. I love you, give me forever to show; it’s more than words can say. Your love is close, so close to my heart. Breathing becomes easier, knowing your love is always there. Helping to take some of the weight, off my chest. Because I feel the love, nestled up against my soul. The place reserved, for the truest love predestined; to get the deepest part of my heart. Two hearts, but one heartbeat. I vowed to keep your love, within the forever place. My heart, until my last breath. No one, will ever be able to take your love. Pry it away, from my undying love. Forever, saved for you. My heart the river, dreaming to find a gentle stream of love; but encountered an ocean, vowing to carry our hearts… into forevermore!
Every moment I get to breathe, every moment my heart is awaken. The radiance of Your love, is the light that shines; deep burning the desire. To have Every Moment, to keep Every Moment; a heart forever in an embrace. This is what it means, this is what it truly is. To know dearly loved, a heart held close to your love. Every day, is a moment to flex… my thoughts. But Every Moment, be very pointed. To show my thoughts, don’t get to control the moment. A heart taking the lead, a soul wanting to be led. A heart, breathing deeply, love expanding the soul. Growth seen, deeper becomes the love… with every breadth. A heart saturated, with the color of love. The fragrance laced with the aroma, of an overwhelming peace. If I could bottle it up, what my heart will surely try. If I could contain it, that I wouldn’t hesitate. Even I can’t do it, that doesn’t mean I won’t try. Within every word, therein lies a heartfelt verse. Love captured, in every syllable. Pen down words, every line.. another pent up muse. Poetry in every eMotion, a heart exposed by the love. What was bottled up, no longer contained. Even if I could, how do I put back into my chest. All the love that has forever escaped, between every breath!
Every day, with Every Moment; closer to Your heart, lost in the awe and wonder. Every moment, becomes my end. So in You, I have my beginning. In my heart, the revelation is love. In my soul, the genesis of love revealed. Every day, in the mind the battle rages. Living Every Moment, deep within the love; defeat can never accost my soul. The retreat, and the surrender; into the love found in You. Love, meant to be endearing; last a lifetime. Love, a coming together; the giving of heart and soul. Your love, what profoundly been the change; within Every Moment I breathe. The deeper understanding, hovering over my soul. Your love is my heartbeat, never failing… to astound my soul. Every day, I’m taken by the love. Every Moment, my heart blown away. Your love is the wind, why my soul knows to soar. Every day, Every Moment; within Your love I can stretch my wings, so You can watch my soul take flight. Every day, Every Moment I rise; looking past what’s momentary. Within Your love my heart is encouraged, to be fearless, be the best me… for You. I know I can stand, walk a mile. Shoeless, doesn’t stop a heart to show more… love!
A Mother’s heart, hardwired to love; Every Moment, unconditionally. An inspired love collaboration, between heart and soul. A love so strong, the heart becomes completely intoxicated. A soul slurring words, a heart stumbling… to keep a balance. Beautiful poetry, in every eMotion. A love so intentional, to portray every breath of the love; a muse heartfelt. Deep within the heart, a soul forever moved; by a love intoxication. Captured by every gaze, the fire of love within. Every day, many flaws are seen. Every moment, not about what’s flawed; but what’s deeply felt. Beautiful are the scars, showing a heart where it has been. Rough are some of the days, but every moment yours to embrace. Embedded deep within, what the love has taught. The experience, the memories; what needs to be forever cherished? Knowing how, to extract the deepest moments. Time slips away, like sand; an Hour, just Glass. A moment to reflect upon, but a time to keep moving forward!
February, celebrated as love month; a time to honor, a moment to show the love within. As long as we don’t forget, love is meant to be celebrated every day; and every moment to be cherished. For me, May is more meaningful. Mother’s Day, celebrating a mother’s love. May 1988, when my wife and I got married. Two special opportunity, that I can celebrate our love, and her motherhood! Within the piece, I would like to celebrate all the mothers; Happy Mother’s Day!

* May your heart be inspired to still see love in, through, around; underneath every breath. The time are uncertain, but will forever stand the test… of times! Save a copy, and have a blessed weekend!
In my younger days, I used to be a dreamer. The most popular dream, how to be heard, not just seen? Yet, most days in the stillness; it was a heart day dreaming, alone in the silence. A heart young, restless; but at the same time, a soul being stirred within. My heart dreamed dreams, but the vision; my soul couldn’t yet decipher. How could a young heart understand, that one set of footprint in the sand; meant a soul being carried, to meet up with a love destiny? To see true love face to face, that was the dream; see it in its truest form. That was the vision, my heart so desperately tried to see. But day after day, year after year. My heart just found itself, locked in another day dream. I know, that some might call it; “just the heart of a dreamer. But deep down I knew, someday my dreams would become my reality. For even though, young hearts can’t see clearly, my heart held close, my visions of love!
So, why keep dreaming, you ask? You see, within my very being. What resonated so resoundingly, whispers of love. How can a vision come to pass, without a heart first knowing how to dream? A dream is the seed (substance), the vision what is seen (evidence); that it was not just a dream. A heart not yet ready to see, could never ready to behold; a stunning vision of love… it produces. When the love was unveiled, it was no longer a dream; but a breathless vision. A heart wide open to know, that the footprints means; Your love was carrying all my dreams. Your love, what always seemed to capture my imagination. Your heart revealed to be the place, where my soul was always hiding. Whenever I seemed lost, within a day dream. But, it was what my heart needed. For my soul to now know, and see clearly.
The love more than a dream, beyond just a vision. A love forever, always; everything. A love felt, every time it touches; the deeper places of the heart. Moving, within rhythm of every heartbeat. There’s no need, for anybody to pinch me; my soul knows the love is real. I wasn’t just dreaming about a love that could be, but the life I have found therein. The confirmation, forever etched within the crevasses of my heart. The very essence, of what true dreams are made of. My heart has dreams, but every day the vision; living within the breadth of Your love. Nightmares don’t keep me up, but my soul would absolutely toss and turn all night. If at the end of my days, this love wasn’t forever, and a day; but still Beyond, My Dreams!
Hold on to me, when you’re scared; when your heart is afraid, of the dark. Rest your heart, on my love. I AM… the comforter, let my love be the blanket. Forever in, and underneath my grace; your heart will be covered. Whenever it feels, like the walls are closing in; and all the uncertainties, have such a stronghold. I AM… the door, the way. My love, will help break every chain. If in the middle of the darkness, you can’t find hope. Look through my heart, I AM… the light; hold on to Me. Break-through, found through my love. Whenever you feel, the weight is just too much for you to carry. Let my love show, you can do all things. In me, your love is forever held; so very close to my heart. I love you, believe me when I say. Even if your soul is in doubt, and your mind ten thousand miles away. You’re never alone, your heart will be; forever near my love. Let it be, your every breath. Why you want to live, and breathe. Let your heart know the breadth, Hold On to Me!
You can always count on my love. I AM… your protector, my love your defender; forever portion. My love, will make your heart stronger. Don’t ever give up, but I need you to let go. And, just hold on to the promise; my love, will never let go… of your heart. I got you, whenever your faith feels like it’s slipping. Let my love be the anchor, that keeps your heart grounded. Don’t ever believe the lies, that my love won’t be able; turn over every stone. Beloved, I AM… the rock; that makes a stone, seem like a pebble. Stand on my love, let it forever be your strength. My love, is the mountain. Come up a little higher, my heart will always be waiting. Just remember, half way up; is still half way down. Climb up on my shoulder, let my love carry your heart. When your heart, is going through a valley; Hold on to Me!
Reach out your heart, my love is forever by your side. Beside you, besides me; don’t let another love, capture your gaze. Whenever you’re feeling lost, my love will come find you. Don’t ever be persuaded, that my love won’t relentlessly pursue. My love is the answer, to whatever is the question. Never stop believing, your heart will never be; worth my love. There’s absolutely no chance, that whenever you seek after my love. That your love won’t already find my heart, waiting… for you. Whenever your heart, feels like it’s drowning. Let my love instead show you, what it is to be breathless. S.O.S, might be the code, the signal for a soul in distress. Just remember, I AM… the ocean, that surrounds your heart. Before your soul, even knows to cry out. My love, will be there to rescue you. My love, what saves; let it forever be, your lifeline. The love revived, through another; heart to heart encounter. When the love moves you, take a deep breath; and Hold On, to Me!
Desperate, to want, to have; what a heart needs to be. Desperately, to find, to know; how a soul needs to be. The days are uncertain, but that will never stop my heart, from being desperate. A heart can know breath, but how can a soul breathe; if a heart not desperately willing, to know breathless? Your love is the sun, the moon, the stars; forever. You are the winds, inside my sails. A soul sailing into forever, but You are the anchor… in the waves. When the water is calm, Your love is a river. But when my soul needed swept away, Your love became my ocean. In deeply, is not a heart hopeless; but a soul desperate, to go even deeper. Your heart, is the mountain I run into. To become a heart hidden, deep within the crevices of Your love. The fountain that will forever quench my soul, the love will never run dry. The song resounding within my heart, the melody that echoes throughout my soul. How can I ever be beside myself, when Your love will ever be. Ever before me, forever beside me, forever by my side. A heart desperately needy, is a soul dependent on Your presence. What good is it to have a soul, wanting to know breadth? Without being a heart, Desperately needing to explain; the length, the height, and the depth… therein?
Not in my breath, but through every breadth of Your love. My soul pours out, because the love is pouring… so intimately. Your love reigns down, into me… be my every breath. Still my heart, to be a soul moved… by every deep breadth. Blow through my soul, like a fire that can’t be contained. Let Your love forever be, the flame upon my heart. Let every breath, be another drowning; then the revival. Let my lungs not breathe, unless it’s a heart, gasping to know. Your love is still moving, underneath my every breath. Take every breath, if Your love is not the one thing; to make my soul, truly feel alive. Make every breath, be like water pouring down. Refreshing to a thirsty soul, soothing to every dry bone. I don’t mind, pouring out my heart. For I know, Your love will never waste; the love therein. Coming from a deeper place, within my soul.
I have a heartbeat, but yet that’s not living. If Your love doesn’t give it, the recognizable rhythmic flow. Every day, let Your love pour out; the love rain down. Let my heart know, Your love is forever; the endless reign. On me, in me, through me; around me, the glorious reign. Let nothing else, get my attention. Be jealous, to have undistracted devotion. Don’t let my heart focus on nothing else, but giving You… my every breath. Overwhelm my heart, with not just the emotional. Let my soul forever be, in awe and wonder. Let the true breadth of Your love, forever be the story. The love told, but profoundly moving; through every breath of my heart. In You, living is found; and how to breathe therein. The move in, having my being; made enlightened forever!
I breathe, but let Your love be… every breath. So whenever I exhale, my soul will feel the reign. Let every tear, be a heart truly overwhelmed; by the joy felt, deep inside. When the world comes, trying to capsize my faith. Your love is, the wind beneath my sail… into a deeper understanding. The fall in, will forever be the ocean; where Your love resides. You, and Your love alone. What saves me, anchors my soul. I don’t have to hold my breath, Your love showed my heart breathless. I’m not intimidated, by what I face today. Not scared, what lurks around a tomorrow. I don’t fear, my next breath; Your love is my forever. Everything I need, just Your breath in me. In You, I have my peace, find my strength. In You, my hopes, and every dream. Your love for me, Amazing. Every breath, of Your love; life, breathing deeply… within!
Having breath, not what my soul relies on… to breathe. But knowing how to breathe, not what keeps my heart… beating. I know how to rise, but had to know; on what I stand? Vertical, how my heart learned; to lift up my faith. Hope found, through this one tree… leaves, the path; the follow. The cost, the price… paid. To get my soul to the place, called Grace. Whenever my heart felt trapped, drowning beneath the coldness. A world full of so much, but not enough warmth. To protect my soul, the walls up… around my heart. Not let the doubts in, the unbelief of others; capsize my faith. Through it all, a heart, breathing. But at times, the gasping… through the last straw. A heart in distress, a soul trying to find rest, but first the test; to bring forth the best. Through the understanding of true breadth, to what saves; gave my every breath!
The love, saved my soul; to become a heart drowning, breathless. A heart forever moved, by an ocean of love. To fathom true depth, the move was continuous; the destination, deeper. Even though darkness fills the skies, thy love hovers. Evening came, morning came; the next day, a calm… over my soul. A love that has me by the heart, but every day still the need; to offer up every breath. Even if, the love is received not by all. Through the amazingly, the glory will still shine. The love will never die, when the true breadth is known. Thy love, the song upon my heart; the melody within my soul. Every day, underneath my every breath. When my soul cries, let Your love forever be; What Saves!
What if, my heart didn’t want to drown, in the forever? Would my soul even know, how to breathe?
What if, my soul didn’t want to feel overwhelmed, by a tidal wave of eMotion? Would the air within my lungs, be enough to sustain; the breadth within my heart?
What if, my soul didn’t want to gaze forever, into Your heart. Could this heart of mine, truly know endless? A love that shimmers so bright, beyond amazing?
What if, the rhythm of my heart was not so erratic? Would anyone be able to tell, what it truly means to be; a soul profoundly moved, by every facet of thy love?
What if, what if? What if I would just stop holding my breath, please tell my heart this. Would my soul truly know how to breathe, if every day my heart, and soul didn’t know; Your love, What Saves?
A Love Story!
