Beforeword: To experience love, one must embrace vulnerability. The true strength of love lies in the conscious choice to uplift when the fragility of another is laid bare.


There is a love that loves complete
There is a love that knows complete
Capable of exploiting vulnerability
Yet a choice to be strength and reliability
You can unravel threads of weakness
Yet, you choose to stitch the mantle of strength
A conscious defiance of frailty’s call
A choice to be the pillar, not the fall
Beyond the ebb and flow of emotions
Beyond the absence of weaknesses
Love is a conscious, deliberate choice
To be the refuge, the shelter, a supportive voice
Together, love makes the choice
Embracing flaws, cherishing scars
Committing not to erase vulnerability
But to empower each other with a resilient love laced in acceptability
There is a love that choses strength and trust
In each other, the choice to receive
A refuge in life’s storms, still it abides
Embracing flaws, there is a love that guides
