Love’s Restless Road…

In the longing for love’s longing.
In the desire for quenched desire.
In seeking that which seeks to be found.
In wanting to speak the unspoken whisper…

It’s easy to compromise,
Just to be held.
To know a lovers touch,
Ignite the oneness meld.

The thirst for reciprocation,
The warmth of another’s embrace.
Companionship’s determined pressure,
Can cause one to choose in haste.

Love’s mere existence is purposeful,
There’s much to be gained.
While genuine and beautiful,
Love can wrongfully enslave.

Shifting intuition into chance,
A misplaced heart searching for forever.
There are benefits from love in all forms,
Learning through mandatory errors.

Perhaps enduring pain and abuse,
Horrors of loose humanity.
From the longing inside for love,
Interlocked with fear’s company.

Can we learn to wait?
Acting based upon faith.
Protect our irrevocable hearts,
And avoid regret’s infinite refrains.

Internal Detonation….

Splattered passion,
Blank canvas no more,
Anger, joy, sorrow, pain,
Making known internal lore.

Storytelling through random arrangements,
Implementing fates’ unbridled design.
Energies born of the varied spectrum,
Create layers of sublime.

Love.
Light.
Desire.
Avoidance.

Harmony.
Peace.
Hope.
Defiance.

Art’s voice is heard,
Creativity’s expression given life.
By splatters of paint,
Meant to illuminate what’s inside…

Love Realized…

Expectations could not have prepared you.

Stories of romance pale in comparison.

Dreams of a lover yet unknown,

Proved to be inaccurate predictions.

 

Of the love you would find within them.

Of the fit carved for you alone.

You once thought your wait gainless,

Like expecting warmth of fresh snow.

 

Then one day you meet,

And finally gain access to the hidden…

 

In rapture at the sound of their voice,

Inspired and changed by the words they speak.

Renewed by the merging of souls,

Spending each moment reveling in the mystique.

 

Sometimes love is born of their eyes,

Guiding your focus to their soul

Where You dive in to that place of safety,

You never thought you’d know.

 

Hearts join among mirrored languages.

Dangling from conversational vines.

One hand free yet longingly reaching,

Identities intact, yet aligned.

 

And at one time, love you were lacking

Until the dream became real…

 

Dreams build anticipation, cause striving.

Based on lyrics developed in our hearts over time.

Lyrics, chalk-written by experience and changeable,

To reflect the truths we ultimately find.

 

What life unveils, and what we accept,

Each decision leading to or from loves’ door.

Blind leaps and gentle courting,

Living secure in the insecure.

 

Love unites minds and hearts.

Inspires emotions varied as shifting sands.

Hold tight to the love you know or desire.

Firm, in a flexible stance.
