Poems of love!

A Story; The Relentless Pursuit!

As a child, my heart mastered the art; seen, but not heard. So therefore, why show emotion; when you can hide your feelings in plain sight? Hide and seek, might seem like just child’s play. But hence the game-changer, what forced me deeper into hiding? The games the adults around me loved to play, just seemed so childish. The moral of that part of the story. I thought my heart was good at hiding, unbeknownst to my soul; a love was in relentless pursuit!

They say when two hearts meet, the reaction is a fall… in love. But then for some, it’s a quick to forget; the falling is an action, that requires a forward momentum. Why do so many hearts, only remember the feeling… at first contact. Only to forget what caused the move, and why you fell… in the first place? Don’t get me wrong, within this love experience; and my own heart exploration. My heart has spent many days running, but it’s the years… that took a toll. What I mean by that? My heart has always been faithful, but when you’ve never been taught how to love. To truly understand, of how to reciprocate it in full. Becomes so much time lost, pursing an understanding… of your own heart and soul. The moral of this part of the story? Every day, and every season; the love needs to be a fall, or the love isn’t truly moving!

For me, love is as simple as this; “either you do, or you don’t!” Love is a color, not fifty shades… of something you can’t recognize. Love can sometimes seem like a catch me if you can, or tag you’re it… for now. Love should always be a relentless pursuit. The seeking is the find, the finding is the having; a forever need… to always want to seek. I have two deep loves in my life. One I love deeply, the other an even deeper love. A love captivated, but forever enlightens. A love that captures, to forever make your soul free. My heart can write a thousand stories, but the ending will always be the same. My hero gets my heart, to go with an already surrendered soul. The moral of this part of the story? Love is not about the thrill, or even a rush; love is about a relentless pursuit!

From the moment my soul rises, to the moment my heart is at peace. My affection becomes the pursuit, of Your love. Stopping will never mean there’s a restart; the love is constant. Resting doesn’t mean too tired, of needing another moment… with You. The adventuring out, is the discovering… within. How to chase after, to pursue a love so relentless; but the pursuit is just the start. There has to be a heart to heart, not just curled up with the good book. Be captured by words that moves, but immersed within a loving embrace. You want to know where, my heart learned the relentless pursuit? It’s just an imitation, of my daddy’s love. As a child, His relentless whispers of love. Just like a leaf, His love is the wind. Chasing after my heart, dancing within my soul. My son, You’re It… the one my love is after. Up on His love, where I could always see my forever. Now it’s my love, in pursuit of His heart. The moral of this part of the story? Though the chase ended, thus the beginning; The Relentless Pursuit!

A Virtuous Woman!

5CC05869-D1D0-4BF4-A6F9-3BF7DA391068
A virtuous woman, forever stands by those she loves. Cares for those she adores. Works tirelessly, to be the very essence of love. Gives every ounce of her love, every bit of her heart. Virtuous to know, how to seek the heart of God. To bless and honor her family, to endlessly watch and pray. Her love, steeped in virtue. No amount of battle scars, will ever change the beauty. Even within a storm, even after a flood; her heart still shines. For a woman knows her worth, and her virtue; a heart made of gold. For she is a woman, for she is virtuous. When the world needed virtue, God breathed into the world… a woman. When the breadth of a man, needed depth of love. God woke my heart to know, A Virtuous Woman!

Even though darkness looms, even though it may be her darkest moment. A Virtuous Woman, will never hesitate to let her love radiate; a light that emanates, from within. Her heart, a display of her character. Her soul, doesn’t just shine; it has a forever glow. The inner beauty, will always outshine the outer. Even if others can only see with their eyes, not their heart? They would have truly missed a moment, to be blessed… by her lo I’ve. For all the women, who feel lack; may you forever see your heart, as virtuous. When you think you’re not enough, may you always know. A virtuous woman is a rock, a true pillar of strength. I know this, for I too know a virtuous woman. The one, that shares my heart; her virtue, what I hold dear. Because a woman cares, because a woman has a heart that dares. She will forever be; A Virtuous Woman!

“Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good, and not evil all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:10-12 KJV

Extravagant Love!

May your heart forever know, how to love Extravagantly. A heart lacking no restraint, a soul knowing why a forever need; to pant breathlessly. May your soul become like a lovesick warrior, fighting… to forever lose control, of every breath. A soul recklessly giving in, a heart completely giving up… without a struggle. Poetry, within every eMotion. A soul gushing, a heart that won’t stop blushing; from a love so touching. So abundant, so deep, so moving. Absolutely precious, so greatly exceeding; every expectation. The undeniable treasure, is what lies within the beautiful exchange… of love. A love that doesn’t cost anything, is therefore a love; worth absolutely nothing. A sacrificial love, a breathless love. A love that gives of one’s self, until the absolute last breath. A love that is until death you part, is an Extravagant love… in every sense of the word. The forever giving of the heart, an absolute surrender of the soul; to become an Extravagant lover!

May my love, feel truly lavished… upon Your heart. May my soul spend every waking moment, practicing the art of becoming a thief in plain sight. Seeking to possess treasures, stolen moments. A heart needing to be locked up forever, within an endless embrace. A soul enthroned in a solitary confinement; with a deep love, and an open heart. The lover of my soul, what You will forever be. A love so amazing, exceeding what is truly reasonable. Everything, what true love will forever cost; a heart willing to pay the price. To the closed off heart, this might seem over the top. I truly don’t believe, my words will ever be enough to adequately tell the story. Can any heart, truly pen down, or even try to simply explain. What my soul knows this to truly be, an Extravagant Love!

Tomorrow!

AECE5126-F5E4-47A4-B7C5-CB84C2481D1D

Tomorrow, is a day that you can never count on. So why do we tend to trust, that tomorrow will be the saving grace? There was evening, there was morning; then it was the next day. Tomorrow, was nowhere to be found. It was never there in the beginning, nor promised to anyone. So, why do we cling to talking points; hold them so dear to the heart? We even put it ahead, of the perfect gift; “Today,” the only day we get to behold. Even if you wished upon a star, wishful thinking; may just be the candle, that once burned bright!

Let the dawn greet your heart, but let the bright morning star; be where you put your hope. Tomorrow is a day so many count on, but today the only day; you get to take a breath. Tomorrow will never show up, even to honor a complaint; or to simply dispute an argument. Tomorrow doesn’t owe you a thing, or will ever honor a petition. Tomorrow can never promise to show up, today is what comes; to address the troubles of the day. Tomorrow is so elusive, and it is so cunning. It tells your heart to put off, what can be done today. Even though having that tomorrow, is a broken promise. Today, and that exact moment you breathe; all that’s truly yours!

So many believe and trust, that tomorrow will be a better day. When the heart lays down to sleep, first pray the Lord; thy soul to keep. A little sleep, a little slumber; a little resting of the heart, but awake in peace. Knowing that your tomorrow, has again become your only day. Forget about tomorrow, Live, Laugh, Love; Today. Choose Life… in Heaven, give today; your Heart and Soul. Know real peace, know what will be… the final resting place. Then, just watch and pray. This is your today, but then the day; becomes a Forever!

Faithfulness; How Romantic!

Everybody loves, but for so many; love becomes about the romanticizing. On the surface the love looks really nice, and can even say all the right things. But the love still not secure, anchored by faithfulness. People have asked me the question; “Are You The Romantic Type?” To me the question, is never a simple yes, or no. I’m a firm believer, that most hearts focus on the fall in; but forget to tell their heart the reason, to stay in. Don’t get me wrong, romance should be a part of the love experience. My heart has been known, to show romantic tendencies. In layman terms, I know what the word romantic means. But I’ve never strived to be a type… cast as anything; but faithful, in every sense of the word!

We all have the good, the bad, and at times the ugly. If people see you as a romantic, that’s okay. To me romantic, is more of a feel good word. Gestures with good intensions, but for so many hearts. It becomes more about the things you do, and from time to time; how the feeling moves the heart. The problem with that, moments like this; tends to fade in and out… of the consciousness. What should move, is not what just matters to the heart; but what can endow the soul. Why I don’t seek after romantic moment, but try my best to make the love… faithful. To me, romance is knowing how to love faithfully… day after day. The heart should definitely want, but the soul should forever pursue a need. To be faithful in love, for life; forever should be the true romance!

What can ever be more romantic, than knowing the love is forever? What can truly be a deeper love, than giving your heart to someone… forever? What can ever be more of a selfless act, than a love willing to lay down its life; so the another can live? So, as for me and my heart and soul. I’m going to gaze upon the brightest star, let the love twinkle endlessly in my heart. Watch it shimmer beautifully within my soul, and bask forever… within the stunning afterglow. When a heart loves faithfully, true love will forever be the romance. A heart that shows up, a love that shows forth; a faithful love. What the Fathers love, has instilled with my soul. A heart should never desire romance for a day, but faithful love… for a lifetime. Faithfulness, how truly Romantic!

A Forever Embrace!

 

ED16E3E0-02F0-42A8-9BFF-A4616A55E744

Your love, never has to fight for my heart. Everyday my heart, what I choose to freely give. Your love is not a possession, but I will fight to have it… be my everything. Your heart, always given, with such precious love. Why my heart and soul keep it, radiant and so beautiful. I will always shine a light, and never let the love… just fade away. My love will be relentless, my heart will forever give chase. Allow my soul to always take a breath, but every exhale; never breathed out in haste. Your love, is my love; my heart, forever your heart. For you always seem to have my heart, close to your love. May you always want to rest your love, on my heart. Always want to put your love, within the care of my heart. May my heart be gentle enough. May the warmth within my love, be a fire that forever burns. I know nothing will ever separate, but it’s still up to my soul; to never let anything come between. May your love, and my heart always be in; A Forever Embrace!

Wonder Twins!

0EFAA4A9-AE0A-4CD8-BA2C-6F0AE770A4FA

They are a Marvel, and they have such strength; and they are truly a wonder. My heart has words, but yet my soul… speechless. How can any heart, not be in complete awe? How can a soul with breath, not be utterly astonished; in absolute amazement? Hope, just one word… can help explain the true wonder. Trust and believe, the way; the truth… to power. One truth can empower, the other fights… the powers that be. You can never truly have one, without needing the other. They might seem different, but they are One… in the same. You can’t get saved, without the surrender. You can’t get true strength, unless you have the power… within. You can’t believe, if you don’t know the truth. To see all the wonders at work, faith; what activates. A soul, in the shape of a heart… forever in love. To truly get from under, the struggles that keeps the heart a captive? You first have to experience the awe, and truly know how wondrous!

So much Wonder, so much Love; full of so much Compassion. Who can ever separate, take the love from my heart? Stop the Miracles, Signs and Wonder; when it’s all, part of the Beauty? They have all power, to Fix the broken hearted. To set a bound heart Free, to Save every lost soul. What can stand against, they can Never be defeated. The Power to Transform, will never be a surprise. Knowing such an Awesome, Remarkable, Undeniable love. How can any heart, not be truly Amazed? Some might think, loving the Wonder; nothing but child’s play. But that’s just it, you don’t get the understanding; without first getting a transformation… of heart. You have to first become a child, be a true believer… before you can enter in. It’s not about a cartoon, but hearts in tune. To know the Love for, is to have true Affection. It’s a two fold blessing, for a heart to have and behold. I tell you the truth, they are so Amazing; Grace, and Mercy!

Preceded!

Before a heart can breathe, before there is a breathtaking; it is first preceded by a move… of heart. Before a single echo is ever heard, there first have to be a sound; perceived beyond sight. Before a soul can recognize a still whisper, the heart has to first know; the breadth that moves the stillness. Most hearts can produce an echo chamber, moved by what feels good; but yet not knowing, it’s not about a good vibration. Most hearts can recognize a distinct sound, but cannot fathom the true depth… without going deeper. A move of the heart, is preceded by a feeling. What sound like real love, goes beyond just a perceived feeling. To feel love is to be moved, but to interpret why the move; not relying on just a feeling. For there to be a true understanding, a heart needs to know; what prepares the way?

A heart can beat like the sound of music, but it’s the rhythm within; that gives the soul true meaning. You don’t have to dig deep, be an intellect; for the heart to be truly enlightened. Ask, Seek, Knock; how the heart starts the introduction. But when the soul gets the answer, does it become a step forward, or a heart not yet ready… for a real commitment? For true growth to be seen within a heart, the latter years need to be better than the former. Wisdom will always be the result, with knowledge gained along the journey. But for the practical to be evident, there has to be a preceding understanding. Love is an action word, demonstrated through a Preceded action; by a heart willing to act. Before life, before sight, before sound. Before a movement over the surface of the deep, what Preceded wasn’t a sound of an explosion; but a move.. of God!

Double Dutch!

Hearts tell me, why the hesitation; “are you waiting for the perfect moment?” They say that timing is everything, but even if you time it just right. Your heart just might miss the moment, given for your soul… to take a leap of faith; for your heart to forever jump for joy. Oh, but once you get in, the heart and soul needs to know; it’s not about the jump and shout. Don’t let your heart get bound up, don’t let your soul get tangled up; in a distracting legalistic mindset. Your heart was loosed, the soul forever set free; don’t become double minded. So many think, it’s about being good… enough. Hard work and dedication, a good desire; but it’s about the Sacrifice. A heart can be taught to bob and weave, but the mind still has to be disciplined; to truly be led… by the heart. Knowing how to make quick decisions, can help get a mind out of a jam; but the heart still needs to know, in whom to put the trust?

Don’t be scared to make a move, but don’t just rely on your own wit; know how to apply true grit. Perseverance requires true strength… of character. When in doubt, that the heart is not winning? Throw your hands in the air, and wave them like you just don’t care… who’s watching. Don’t ever let your heart lose sight, of what truly matters. Don’t let your soul get focused, on truly meaningless distractions. A Double Dutch bus, is a sight for sure. But if the focus is just on how the wheels on the bus, goes round and round. That just shows, that the mind is what’s in control. Not a heart knowing how to take the lead, and what love truly moves… the soul?

A young, vibrant heart learning the how to; can easily jump a rope. But yet still too young, to know how to properly exercise… true restraint; mind, body, and soul. Hearts in love, is eager to jump a broom. But for the love to not get tattered, not get easily broken. The love needs to be forever bound, with a three stranded cord. Every heart knows how to jump in, but the question I have is this; do you truly know how to stay in… love? Life can make the love seem, like hearts just swinging… in opposite directions. Hearts crisscrossing, but without the rhythmic cohesiveness. For two hearts to truly flourish, for the soul to truly experience a double portion blessing; the love for has to be, hearts in love… forever. No double talk, no Double Dutch; jump in, jump out. Just grateful hearts, compassionate souls; slow to anger. Hearts in tune, abounding forever… in true love!

In Tune!

When a heart is not in tune, it cannot differentiate between a heart that just beats; from a rhythm that truly moves. One sound, is not about just hearing a heart beat; but a soul also knowing how to see… a movement. A heart needs to have sight, to go beyond what is just sounds… good. Sometimes the tone feels good, but the heart and soul not in tune. A heart can be tone deaf, when a heart is unable to perceive. The difference between the breadth, and the true characteristics… of what is a real love. There is a certain pitch, that most heart have clearly heard. But the soul still needs to know, how to accurately interpret. Real love hums a distinct melody, but Devine love forever a song; when a heart is in tune!

The heart is an instrument, it may not always be in tune; but the tone should always be recognizable. The sound a heart makes can paint a picture, but not all with… The Color of Love. Thankfully, hearts have the ability to adjust; but only if the moment hasn’t become a missed opportunity. To not just notice the change within the mind, but to see the change take place… within the heart. One can change their mind, but without a change of heart; the love wouldn’t truly resonate. Without taking a moment to reflect, or giving the heart a chance to adapt; becomes a change without purpose. The heart and soul cannot become finely tuned, if being in tune… serves no greater purpose. A heart trying to demonstrate the love being heard, but for some the heartbeat becomes so erratic; a soul still not knowing the true depth. Love can produce a strong eMotion, but for a soul to truly sing and shout. There has to be the In Tune, to have a true heart connection!
