Lately, my poems have been about love, or loss of love. I try not to be so sentimental, but it seems Love is just who I am. When the love I am putting out is not reciprocated, it bothers me. It causes me to shut down. Now I am in a place of not being able to love to my full potential, so it in turns, leaves me stifled.
Did you know most of us are in relationships just to be in one. It really holds no valid meaning and it is definitely not a true staple of "Love". I think a percentage of us are in relationships, because of fear of being alone. I think I have a percentage of that in me. I have been alone before and took a few years just to find me, but I have to say I am guilty of staying in many relationships, for the fear of being alone or hurting the other person. A percentage of us are in a relationship because what you think is love, may be something totally different. Love can disguise itself very well. I think the others of us are in relationship, just because we can be or maybe because their is a child involved or maybe because of guilt.
No matter the circumstances, the true fact of the matter is over half of "All" relationships, are not founded on true love. We are not with, who God intended us to be with. I believe God made a counter-part for everyone. Someone who will love you unconditionally, despite all your flaws, someone who will forgive you for mistakes made, because at the end of the day, we are "ALL" human. I believe the God chosen person, will have a life almost parallel to yours. Having many likes in common, many of the same passions and a high esteem for the meaning of "Love". Willing to die for each other daily, meaning be selfless, give completely of yourself and most of all be vulnerable.
I write poems of how love is dead and doesn't exist anymore. That is only an opinion, my opinion, never to be taken literally. In my experience, true love is dead to me. I have love, but is it from God, I don't believe so. Somewhere, I missed that blessing. Did I settle, not really sure, do I give up the love I have to keep searching for that, which possibly doesn't exist in a sex driven world. Is it luck of the draw, fate, that determines if we find that one who we will fight to end of time for.
I have many opinions on love, but they are only opinions and thoughts. When I think of love in it's truest of forms, I believe it is, who God chooses just for you. Chosen for you, because no one could love you more than that "ONE" The way of the old couples of the 50's and 60's. Couples who stayed together to the death, literally. Too much to see now, too many willing to do all the things you will not do, to get what they want. Monogamy is definitely on it's way to extinction.
True love is like a needle in a haystack in today's world. Love should be forever...through thick and thin...seeing all the beauty in that "One"....understanding who they are, understanding their soul....."A meeting of the minds. Love to me ,is a solid commitment to be faithful and true and love with the fullness of yourself . You should be able to tell that person your deepest and darkness secret and be comfortable in doing it. You should feel safe and secure with that person. Love should bring understanding and patience and a willingness to really sit and talk and work through the kinks, no matter what. Love is endurance through it "All". So you see, my definition of love is powerful and hefty. Anything less is not "True Love", it is just a imitation.
So I say to you....are you with who God chose for you or an imitation of love. Is it fulfilling to you. Are you true and faithful, even in your mind. If you think of another in a sexual way, truly you are not being true to the relationship you are in. Cheating comes in many forms, not always physical, sometimes just a lustful fantasy, or mind play. Love...it has deeper meaning than what it now represents. Like many things, after a while things fade. I believe that is what will happen to love. Sex is not love. Money should never buy love and abuse of any kind, mental, physical, verbal..is not love. But this is just an opining of one person.......My opinion
