Poems of love!

Soul Searching!

Soul searching, a heart trying to make a lasting resolution. A heart planing to journey deeper, the destination; forever. A heart choosing to give undying love, seeking to be a heart; with undistracted devotion. Emotions, will never be a contributing factor. Intentional, will always be the choice; unconditional, will forever be the motive. To take a deep dive, into the depth of my soul; a search to find, deeper expressions of the heart. A deep consideration, with an even deeper determination. Discovering the truth, that lies within the heart; a daily search within the soul.

Purposeful reflections, with an unwavering commitment. Within my heart, the issue was long ago resolved; God’s love, is my firm foundation. A love I let search my heart, as I search within my soul. Not a reflect on what was, but to know my heart is a true reflection; of a love truly pure, forever true. A heart open to discover, a soul wanting to rediscover; the newness within each day. A steadfast heart, with a steadfast hope; in a strong-willed soul, the half has not yet been told. Within a heart not shackled by doubts, a soul unshakable to the true; relentless to find, will forever be my love. It’s never been about eyes open, to see a move; but a heart wide open, to see a change!

Friends, resolve to be forever spirited, be unyielding within your boldness. Being brave hearted, is the sign of a courageous soul. Be resolute with each decision, let single-mindedness be the endeavor. Double-mindedness, serves to do a heart a disservice. Persistence is a start, perseverance keeps a heart focused; true grit, a heart abiding in tenacity. To do or not to do, to be or not to be; has to be the firm resolution. The new year is a time to steady your heart, but every day; a time to truly search your soul.

Regifted!

The gift my heart has so freely been given, is the gift I want to share with you. It won’t be wrapped up within a nice pretty bow, it’s not about sharing pretty words; but a pretty awesome gift, the love wrapped up within the first Christmas. I could keep this gift to myself, I don’t want this to be about; how a Grinch stole Christmas. Sharing, is caring; a gift I’m regifting to you. Don’t think of this regift as a grand gesture, measure it as a heart tester. The first gift was free, the grandest gesture of love; a heart can ever behold. A gift more meaningful, than a bouquet of flowers; cherished, more than even silver and gold. A truly precious gift, given to us; swaddled as a newborn babe!

The true gift, of Christmas, shimmers with such brilliance. From a heart filled with true artistry; an amazing gift, for all to receive by design. Wise men from the east, followed the star that shimmered in the night. Gifts they brought, to reflect the overwhelming light; shimmering within their hearts. So much love, does the gift of Christmas bestows. So won’t you grant me the true privilege, to regift a love; meant to be forever regifted by design. While bustling along all the busy sidewalks, as you admire all the bright pretty street lights. May your hearts truly be filled, with all the joyous feelings of Christmas. May you feel love is in the air, from hearts regifted in love. Wrapped up forever, within the true meaning of Christmas!

Beautiful!

The bright morning star, brightest star in the heavens; babe in a manger, Jesus. Your love, the song the angels sang. The song my heart now sings, Your love; forever my song. You are so beautiful, Your love has truly been my everything; to me You are, so beautiful. So how, how can my heart say this, how can my soul ever explain this; how do I truly explain, Beautiful?

Your name, lets start there; beautiful. Your love, stunning, breathtaking; yes, beautiful. Your heart, to fathom would surely be beyond beautiful. Your presence, just a mere glimpse into Your love; so absolutely beautiful. The love that truly warms my heart, when a wintery frost; seems to be the coldness within my soul. The pep within my springtime, Your love my bright sunshine. The purest love, that my soul has forever come to know. More than a gorgeous summers day, more satisfying than a wonderful autumn breeze. Season after season, beautiful; is still just the start!

So how, how could my heart explain; how do I justify how beautiful? For a love so dear to my heart, the dearest to ever touch my soul; dearer to me, than everything. So how, how can my heart not help but to feel; it was the fall, in love. With a love so so beautiful; the absolute greatest love, my heart will ever know. Jesus, Your love moves within my heart; And It’s So Beautiful!

Forever Holding Me!

The real thing, nothing less than absolutely everything; the air I get to breathe. A love full of so much compassion, a heart full with so much love; the real thing. My soul is wrapped up within the tenderness, held forever; within Your embrace. Your love comes with No conditions, but my soul still drafted up one petition; to forever etch Your love, upon the door-post of my heart. You signed it, You sealed it; Your love has never failed to deliver. Every letter of Your love, the story being written; forever within my soul.

Your position is perfect, the positioning of Your love is absolutely picture perfect; positioned perfectly, right up against my soul. Your love, it’s got a hold; such a serious hold. Don’t ever stop holding, hold me forever. It’s a love You gave without strings, with no promise of love in return. So freely I give, I forever promise You my heart. Your love can forever have, my every heartstring. Wrap my every string, completely around Your love. If You truly believe, the love within my heart; to be the real thing?

My heart is not one to hide behind fear, within the silence of my own shadows; where my heart always felt at home. But now my heart has found rest, within the quietness; within the stillness, Your love is my new hiding place. Your love breaks every chain, but my heart prefers to be locked away; locked forever within Your loving embrace. Even when my soul got complacent, returned by to the silence; Your love never once complained. Within the silent night, Your love is brightly shining!

Even when my heart ran, Your love relentlessly gave chase. My heart has surely tried, but it could never outrun my destiny. From a love deep seeded, a soul forever rooted; I sure do hope, that the growth clearly shows; Your love has a firm hold on my heart? Your love is the real thing, my everything. I can clearly see, that Your love that Your love surrounds; Forever Holding Me!

Love; The Impact!

You were my strength, when I felt weak. My voice, when my heart didn’t even have words. My eyes, when my heart could barely see. Your love saw greatness in me, but all I saw; was how greatly Your love impacted me. Your love gave my heart the strength, to be able to lift up my faith. One gaze into Your heart, was enough to make me believe; that I could forever trust Your love, that’s when the first impact was felt. Your love, and my heart collided; to this day, the impact is still felt. Like a tidal wave, just like a hurricane; even as a gentle breeze, the effect was instantly noticed. Significant enough to cause a shift, gentle enough to make a lasting impact. Everlasting will be the influence, forever in love; that will be the ramifications!

There were, and are still times; when I’ve been hard headed. But the impact of Your love, has drilled down so much truth into my soul. I’ve learned a lot, a heart partially made of stone; was starting to allow Your love, to chisel away the rough edges. A love that has impacted, a love still impacting; a love with so much impact. A love firmly pressed up against my heart, a love that has now left a deep impression. First, I felt a touch, but even that first oh so gentle touch. Had such an impact, causing a truly significant change; altering how my heart truly sees. A heart being transformed, being shaped and molded. Into a heart, that is truly ready to be used. To show how Your love has made an impact, on me!

A Story; The Undiscovered Love!

The month of November has five Friday’s, so I thought I would post this piece. I’m constantly writing, some you may get to see. This one I originally wrote four years ago for my own enjoyment, but decided to edit it a little today as a treat for you. It’s a bit longer than what I usually like to post, but like I said; it’s a treat for those who like stories. At the very end there’s also a reference, may it help guide your heart. If you like the piece, comment below; I may post another one again in the new year!

My heart has brought me to this place, everyone of my heartbeat; was the compass. Amongst all the chaos, my heart beheld a beauty; within a Risen Star. And oh how my heart just can’t seem to stop, orbiting The Light; radiating from within this love. At first, my initial instinct was to throttle back the emotions, reverse course; but resistance was futile. My heart was captivated by a gravitational pull, a love my soul has never known; a love with so much strength. At first I just couldn’t understand, why this love had such an unbelievable pull; on my dangling heartstring? I tried to Engineer a way out of the hold, but my heart was being shifted. I was strong willed, but I didn’t have enough power; to withstand the strength of this love. It seemed inevitable; that my heart and this love, would surely collide!

This love captured my imagination, my heart just didn’t know; if my soul even wanted to be set free? There was this undeniable security, being forever held; within the depth of this loving embrace. I had to check my Sensors, was I still breathing; the heart of the Vessel, wasn’t ready to burst. This love has a force, my heart had never before encountered such strength. The closeness, that was the true encounter; a warmth like no other. This love has a grip on my heart, my soul forever locked in an unbreakable holding pattern; this love was encompassing my entire heart. I always thought, I was the captain of my own heart; but my heart found itself, in an uncharted place. The magnetism of the love, is so unbelievably strong. This love has the ability, to see into the very depth of my soul; a love with an undeniable presence!

My heart, my soul, my known universe; forever changed, this love has taken over my heart. I don’t think I can stop my heart, from wanting to forever be assimilated; into this overwhelming love. My heart is absolutely locked, within a real attraction; fatal, would be if my heart ever denied such a love. My heart is Beaming, locked forever within a gaze; felt deep down within my soul. My heart is truly overwhelmed, by the essence within this Amazing Love. My heart is secure, wrapped within a truly substantive love. This love is penetrating every aspect of my shields, my heart is left absolutely exposed. This love truly seems to be having its loving way; with my entire heart and soul. Now my heart is being sent, an away mission; to seek out hearts, lost within this world!

Captains log, Star date; 11.30.2018. My first officer, and crew; K.I.D.S, have set out on a journey. Trying to give each other Space to grow, to Discover The Final Frontier. Voyagers, together in life; but on a Mission, to Explore. To Seek out the newness within this World, within this civilization; to Boldly Go, where our heart will take us. Along the way, my heart has experienced a wave of emotions. At times desperately trying to cloak my heart, trying not to be absolutely vulnerable; but my shields have often failed, to stop a love that has already moved my soul. My heart has never been one to beat a thousand miles a minute, but some days this love has my heart racing at Warp Speed. Most days I try to keep it humming, at One Quarter Impulse; doing my very best, to not get ahead of the love!

My heart was once lost within the black hole in my soul, but there’s a light; a love that repels the darkness. My heart is being stretched, my soul has not yet reached its capacity; forever being molded by a truly indescribable love. My heart has to daily rediscover, seeking means to find this love over and over; undiscovered, the deeper parts of this love. Abiding forever within this love, my heart will truly Live Long and Prosper. My soul has Trekked too far, for my heart to ever turn back now. So, until the day my hearts journey comes to an end, and my soul finally gets to go home. Until then, James T.. wo, the first; will be a safe passage, to help a heart get through it all!

My Every Breath?

How, how could I ever attempt to breathe; without You? You are the air, that moves within my lungs. I simply can’t, and I simply wouldn’t; try to attempt such a feat. Your love is my life, my very lifeline; the life that moves within every beat of my heart. Every single day I ask my heart just one question; are you crazy like a fox? I couldn’t even imagine, or could even begin to think; about a life without Your love!

Crazy is as crazy does, but that kind of crazy; wouldn’t even sense; to think that you could possibly breathe on your own. Foxes have dens, birds have nests. So, why would I ever want to fall out of love, with a heart teaching my soul how to soar. Just to fall into a den of thieves, trying to steal my every breath. Heart, take a moment to breathe that all in. Resuscitation is possible, but let every deep breath of this love; be what forever moves your soul.

Your love takes my breath, but yet Your love is what helps me to breathe. Your love is the breath within my heart, the love that breathes throughout my soul. I live and breathe, only because Your love is the air; the love that makes a heart feel truly alive. I couldn’t live, much less to even try to breathe; without Your love. Oh my soul, take a deep breath; but exhale only when your heart knows. To live your life through a deeper love; then you will truly be able to love, the life you get to live. If it happens to forever take your breath, living will now begin; because you finally know how to breathe!

So how, how could I give You less of my love, when my heart wants to give You my every breath? They say less is more, but less of Your love. Could never give my heart more of the air, my soul simply needs to breathe. How, if I don’t forever make Your love; My Every Breath?

This Poetic Love!

Pen to paper, not what I need; to have a poetic moment. This is not about feeling, but I feel. This is not about capturing the moment, but my heart is truly captured; by the poetry within Your love. I didn’t always pour out my heart, but again and again; Your love is been poured into my soul. Your love has always been at the very center of my heart, a forever love affair, growing stronger and stronger. Your love is the pillar, the foundation that grounds my heart; the poetry that moves my soul, Your love is a poem!

My heart is trying to give Your love a voice. The melody within my heart, is Your love song playing within my soul; I hear an Endless Love. Your love is what first moved my heart, but now flows in an endless loop; throughout my very soul. A breathtaking love, that takes my every breath. Living is not living, if it’s not lived; through Your love, and Your love alone. A love that has my mind so blown, that I can’t even believe; these words are even within my heart. Your love is so more, than a poem; but truly poetic!

How deep does the love go, my heart is still trying to know. Your love gives my heart an overflow, words can’t even express; to what depths, Your love is trying to take my heart? But this one thing I know, my heart is truly in love. Your love is the poetry that moves my soul, the true emotions that have left my heart vulnerable; a wonderful place to be, within every poetic moment. I will forever let Your love speak to my heart, my soul still needs to discover; more ways to write about this poetic love. Your love is a poem, let my heart forever be the muse!

Your love is more than just words, it’s living, very active; deep within every breath of my heart. Loving You, is so much more than me writing pretty words. It’s the poetic love, that doesn’t just move; but truly inspires my soul. Let my heart be a true instrument, let Your love forever be the inspiration. My heart is on a journey, with a love that flows deep within; moving throughout the innermost parts of my soul. This love is a poem, my heart has so much more to say; about This Poetic Love!

No Doubts!

Never a doubt, my heart never doubted; not even for a nanosecond. My heart knew from the very moment, that Your love was The One. The very one my heart needed, the one my soul truly wanted; to spend every day and night, the rest of my life. They say fools rush in, my heart was never the fool; so instead I sprinted, right into the depth of Your love. I never once doubted, that Your love would be there to catch me. If I totally fell, forever in love; my heart to You I freely give!

Yes, I never doubted; to first doubt, fear would have to be a factor. Besides, what is there to truly fear, but fear itself? From the very day my destiny, and Your heart collided; was the day my doubts were no more. My heart and mind finally came into agreement, for the very first time. My heart is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but this one thing is perfectly clear. Your perfect love, casts out all fears; within my mind, my heart never doubted!

No, without a doubt I definitely knew. The first day when my soul felt the burning sensation, the day my heart burst into flames; to be forever consumed by Your love. With every gaze into Your heart, my soul was being consumed. No Doubt, that every day I wake; Your love is going to do it, all over again!
