Love
Meandering through the malaise of what could have been
Dodging word-wars hurled in fiery exchanges
Delicate foreskin of its fortitude penetrated
Breaking down its defenses
Love
Wandering brokenly
Unsure and afraid
Not finding its way
Lost somewhere between forever and always

In the moments when you’re still, you’ll win
Quiet the noise—the distractions—within
That’s when the listening of your heart begins
Listen to your heart, it’s calling to you
Listen to your heart, it’s telling you what to do
Listen to your heart, it’s giving you the better view
Other voices are loud
Silence every sound
It’s the virtue best bestowed
Listen to your heart, it’s your spiritual guide
Listen to your heart, take your intellect on the ride
Listen to your heart, it’s the place where God resides
Listen to your heart

Doing something a little different this week. No poetry. No prose. Instead I’ll be posting a series of snappy one-liners that are as good as a mouthful like:
Love isn’t forced, if s/he’s wrong for you, s/he can’t love you the right way.
You may also like previous posts in the series: #1Change, #2Be YOUniquely You, #3Know You, #4New Day New Way

Dear God
When I say You are my Provider — You say my needs are met
When I say You are my Protector — You say my path is prepared
When I say You are my Rock, my Banner, my Strong Tower — You say I am sustained and I am protected
When I say You are my Healer — You say I am healed, restored, made whole
When You say You are my EVERYthing — I know I have EVERYthing I need
After-word: At first I titled this piece “When I Say…When You Say”. But, the more I dwelt on the meaning of the words I penned the more it resonated in my spirit: to believe what God says, even in the absence of its revelation, requires certainty and confidence—that’s assurance! I borrowed from Fanny Crosby’s beautiful timeless hymn, “Blessed Assurance”. Assurance means to be certain and confident, free from doubt. Blessed assurance is a holy or sacred confidence—not in us, but in what God says we are and what we have in Him. This should gives us an unshakeable-certain-free-from-doubt relationship with God.

When it’s right
—you won’t be the only one giving your all
—you won’t have to wait for a text or a phone call
—you’ll give and receive love with no fear
—you’ll want to help each other grow in the life you share
—what’s offered on the relationship menu is aligned to what your relationship appetite desires
—your best friend, your confidante, your cheerleader and supporter are all wrapped up in your partner
When it’s right

… yeah, she gotta love jones—for him:
It’s the handsome way he stands out in a crowd
Strong muscular features that complement
Chiseled angles of caramel-toned face
Perfectly-formed brows arched protectively over
Pools of dark-brown eyes
Eyes that glitter with mischief, laughter and delight
Or, could it be nose gently protruding
Above the sensuous pout of full-contoured lips
A confident inviting smile that draws her into him
Into the warmth of strong yet gentle hands
Skillful, knowing fingers that caress
Square-cut shoulders trimmed by slim, vibrant waist
Thighs and legs and feet which knowingly retake
The path to her
‘Cause he too gotta love jones—for her

Once upon a time in the land of hearts
Happy hearts glided along the cloud nine express
While enchanted hearts delightfully soared on ecstasy rockets
One lonely heart crouched down, despair concealed in the heart-break corner
Away from the buzz of new-found love
She diligently works to put herself back together again
This time the herding of broken pieces is faster
Gathering this and tending that piece
Taping here and sewing there
Patching the hole where hurt took his piece
Muttering self-promises never to be so trusting
Whispering reassuring-cautions this ne’er again would be
Fear by fear she laboriously builds a wall of protection, impenetrable
Heart-break sensors affixed at every crevice
Armed with warning codes, she sits—poised, ready to block the next hurt
Along comes he to the land of hearts, looking for a heart able to love him
One that’s been broken and mended
One that’s been where he considers familiar ground
And there she was—stoic, wrapped protectively in her bubble of safety
Armored behind a self-imposed wall of protection
Eyes slowly rising to the intensity of his penetrating gaze
And he greets her—sawu bona—I see you
I see you in your love
I see you in your affection
I see you in your soul
You mean everything to me
Heart meets heart, souls collide
And she greets him—sikhona—I am here
I am here in healing radiating from the heart
I am here in spirit of sharing, revealing, receiving
I am here in recognition and revelation of giftedness
Heart meets heart like mirror to mirror reflecting
Heart door once shut tight, reopening
I see you!
Light—leading her heart through the darkness of hurt spaces
Air—breathing hope, filling her with newness of love
Touch—reigniting senses, creating a world she merely dreamed of
Teach her to once again see beauty in feelings
Because you see me, I am here!
