I Desire, But I Wish...

I want to raft the waters white
But I need to stay within my sight

I want to have a choco tart
But I need someone with the sweetest heart

I want to roam all o’er the world
Yet I need to stay right by her, curled

I want to ski down the slopes
But I need to be up on the hopes

I want to fly by greens and seas
But I need to keep my mind at ease

I want myself to look the best
But I need to ace at life’s main test

I want it all, I want to shine
But I need myself never to whine

So I may want the wants I see
But I will need to be true to me

For True Love on a special Day

I'd never dreamt that there could be this day.
A day when love will find its way.
Out of my heart and into your soul.
These feelings I have are beyond my control.

All my life I have waited patiently.
For a Princess like you, so beautiful, so lovely.
Words can't express the way I feel.
These feelings towards you are all for real.

You are the reason why I go on.
Eternity can't separate this special bond.
This heart of mine is reserved for you.
Forever it is yours, this love is so true.

I'll be your first and you'll be my last.
My world, my everything, till my time has past.
I will always love you until the end of time.
MY LOVE, MY SWEETHEART, MY VALENTINE!

The True Expression of Love...

I asked a while back what was the truest expression of love. Fictions and stories have always failed to teach me. They make me think, and ponder scenarios beyond my experience.

Love is a feeling that we experience in so many different ways towards various people. Love is the ultimate expression of our divinity. It is an emotion that holds the power to heal and strengthen the physical and emotional body.

I often experience the overwhelming fullness of love for those that I care deeply about. Once we allow our hearts to open and reveal the full expression of love it comes with great risk. We have hopes and expectations. We want it to be reciprocated and valued. When we choose to risk our hearts, we take a chance of being hurt or rejected.
But Love has the power to heal, and, transform. Every expression of love carries in it the seeds of possibilities. When we nurture and honor love, it has the ability to lift us up and give us hope, tenderness and affection. Without love we miss out on so many blissful moments in life.

Gratification is doing whatever the feelings of love motivates you to do in a moment. This promises the most instant satisfaction. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt like hugging someone and decided I couldn’t or shouldn’t.

Commitment is, in this case, synonymous with faithfulness and loyalty. True love inspires commitment. There’s no greater gift to offer a person than your eternal devotion.

Sacrifice. Obviously there are different levels of sacrifice. A bunch of little things all added together are the kind of sacrifice I mean. There isn’t an opportunity for each of us to die for another to demonstrate our love. We talk about being a living sacrifice, which is totally giving one’s heart, soul, mind, and strength to the purposes, comfort and good of another.

Time is your most precious gift because you only have a limited amount of it. You can make more money but you can’t make more time. When you give someone more time you are giving out a portion of your life that you will never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.

It is not enough just to say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Words alone are worthless. Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is “T-I-M-E”.

The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide to others, but how much we give ourselves. Men in particular, often don’t understand this. Yes, I am brave enough to accept that they don't. What we should understand is, that they want us in a relationship. Our eyes, ears, our attention, our presence and our focus. In essence they want your time. Nothing can substitute that.

There is a very famous saying, "You can give without loving but you can’t love without giving". Love to me means giving, yielding my preferences, comfort, goals, security, energy or time for the benefit of someone who I love more than life.

Relationship must have priority in your life above everything else because relationships are all what life is all about. Incidentally many underrate relationships when you hear them talking about finding time for our people, giving the impression that relationship are just a part of our lives along with many other tasks.
But relationships are what life is all about. Indeed, four of the Ten Commandments deal with our relationship with people.

Busyness is the greatest enemy of relationships. Relationships, not achievements or acquisition of things are what matters most in life. We become preoccupied with making a living, doing our work, paying bills and accomplishing goals as if these tasks are the point of life. They are not. The point of life is learning to love. Life minus love is zero because the scriptures tell us that love is eternal; lasting forever.

Another thing is that love leaves a legacy. It is not your wealth or accomplishments, but how you treated other people is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

For me Love is the secret of lasting heritage.

Feelings...

I am afraid of the vibes
Of the unspoken words that scare
Of the light touch that rattles my nerve
With certainty, I know its there

I fear the yen that so persists
That I know is to be curbed
And yet it is unstoppable
Like an excruciating thirst

The crowd around, it does hurt
It kills the spark; dulls the flame
But once left to ourselves
It rises again, no one’s to blame

Be it on a journey
On a road with all its bends
Just sitting by the other’s side
Hoping this never ends

Be it on a lakeside
With no words, just silence
For being with each other
Is the one essence

Or be it at a movie
With all the lights gone dim
Rain clattering on the window
It’s just another whim...

It’s the little things that matter
For we want each other perfect
But we teach and learn, no matter how hard
For we know what we’re to get

I cannot say what it all is
Is it a sense of bonding?
Or love in its purest form
Or for each other, a longing?

The craving, it cannot be stifled
But my mind has all the keys
It tells me “You will never act
So fantasize as you please”

So once again I close my eyes
Tis a world devoid of pain
For now it’s only she and I
Oh my, I am in heaven again…

On your mark...Get set...Go !!

Formed and fashioned from above
A cherished gift was I
Mom and dad were full of love
For the apple of their eye

Be it ma with her nightly kiss
Or daddy making my meal
Time may destroy all but this
To now that warmth I feel

Then to me it was the time
To do what I felt right
Breaking rules was no crime
By day or by the night

One fine day, in love I fell
Let it decide my mood
Snapping out of it as well
When to me it did no good

At long last I found my star
That shone bright in the crowd
It was one that had no scar
With it, FOREVER screamed aloud

What magis was, it hit 'pon us
As we led her into this world
Love spread about in manners thus
As she grew, our joys untold..

Now as I age, I think and muse
Of that I've gained and not
Life sometimes it has been a ruse
A straight road or a knot

Finally, all's said and done
I am an ebbing tide
And the time for me has come
To walk to the other side!

Manifestations...

I grin along, giving a nod
When you and I, we strike a cord
But when you speak words I dissent
A cold shrug to you is my present

Regrets and sorrows well up my eyes
Ridding of them, I heave some sighs
But depths of passion resting within
Surge up bringing my wrath therein

On the porch, my eyes on none
Dreaming in space, all woes I shun
You speak to me of payments due
And here I sit, looking right through you

The sign of love that Cupid sends
To my face a blush it lends
It makes me blink, and stop to wonder
Is this my path, or just a blunder...

In moments of life, when all's a haze
I stutter and strive, I'm in a daze
And from the realms of my mind
Those awkward thoughts make my teeth grind

With a twinkle in my eyes I smile
As you trip over in the aisle
My expressions make me what I am
These are for real, and not a sham

Sifting through strands

I jog back down that winding lane
Peek into all those doors again
That let me in, and bear my name

And though I see it crystal clear
I may not live it while I'm here
To me now, tis a film so sheer

Be it made with petals of gold
Or with stormy winds so cold
Its for me to use as a mold

For all I know, it belongs to me
Or to you, or whoever it be
But it stays as is, for eternity

But life goes on and seasons change
While I'm caught amidst feelings strange
Keeping smiles and tears alike in range
