Sad beautiful truth
we must confront.
Love has wings,
flies away when
not nurtured and
if iniquity wraps
the heart.
Love with all
your heart at
this present moment,
before your morning
turn into night.
Love stays
only when your
ego dies.
It will embrace
your heart,
only if you can
genuinely forgive
yourself and the
one you hurt.
Love kills the
pride of self
with its light,
piercing softly through
the darkness of
the soul.
Softly it binds the
two hearts together.
Nothing can be
more beautifully gracious
than hope uniting
two in love
making them one.

The smile of
nature touches
the soul.
Nothing makes
the flowers
not to
share unreservedly.
Its fragrance
so endearing.
Their loveliness
appeals to the
eyes as they
unfold slowly
like the light
piercing softly
through the doorway
in the morning.
The morning
rain is beautiful,
and the flowers
are so grateful
as it cascades
so gently and
subtly so softly
on their tender leaves.
The flowers dancing
in the rain
at the sounds
of its rhythmic fall
to the ground.
The rain and
the flowers
having fun together,
as they await
the sunshine to
soon manifest,
for the cosmic law
fulfills all things
gloriously.

This chain
of love is
connected to
heaven and earth,
like the sky.
As the
ocean breeze,
soothing and
calming to
my soul.
Your presence
is like
a balm
to my heart.
Like you flowed
down from
the throne,
of heaven
as if poured
from the
silvery chalice
for a purpose.
The lit
place of love
is where you,
my love
are contained.
That's where
you are going.
Right in my
heart you shine.
Beautifully crafted,
as if sculptured
by an Angel.
You make
my world glow.
Lovely and radiant,
you are
the one
that shines.

In darkness of
my dreaming,
the light of you
will stay.
The light in
the darkness
of my heart
shines because
of love in it.  
Like the sky,
you are a
beautiful dream,
wrapped by a
piece of yarn
linked to the
starry sky.
My love is like  
a diamond buried
in the mud
of the heart.
Needs nurturing to
make it glow.
The strength of love
in your heart
makes the light
of your diamond shine.
Like a tree
that stands strong
on the cold lake,
the depths of
morning sun greets
you with love
to warm your heart
with tenderness.
The liquid iron
that flows in
the water shall
be gathered again
and be strengthened,
for the roses
blooming in the rain
are extraordinarily
beautiful.

Look again beyond
the mountains.
I see you
standing between
the sea and
the sky.
Between the
depths of the
oblivion and
the firmament.
It seems the
sky and
the sea are
the same.
I'm loss for
a moment but
not lost.
The sun shines
through the sky
beautifully as you
shine in beauty
in the world.
What are you
searching for?
You truly definitely
don't know exactly
what it is.
I'm not confused
but just thinking.
After this,
you still look
for another,
you remain
gullibly insatiable.
Are you after luck,
love, and
peace of mind?  
Do not look
for it at
the other end
of the world,
otherwise you will
return disappointed,
bitter and desperate.  
Search on the
other end of
yourself afterwards,
in the depths
of the heart.
Maybe you'll
find it there.

It came like
a flash of
lightening,
as if the
whole world just
crashed over me,
like crushed eggs.
My heart melted
and i became
weak at the knees.
I was humbled
by that moment.
My heart was
lonely and i
needed solace and
a warm hug
to be comforted.
I needed someone
just to tell me
that it's going
to be okay.
The thoughts of
emptiness and
being alone overwhelmed
me as i looked
at the vast emptiness
without her presence
in my life
not minding
it was time
for her to go.
I was so
overpowered by the
sense of loss
that i couldn't even
remember to have
a meal or clean up
and groom myself.
I felt like
the walking dead,
numbed to my bones.
Today as i
looked back to
reflect on all
that occurred since
her demise.
My heart is
grateful for everything.
And i asked
the Almighty to
bless and keep her.

I love myself
so much that
I love you
so much that
you have to
start loving me
so much because
we are but one
beneath our differences,
dreams, and desires.
I can't stop
giving myself to you,
until our souls merged
and immersed in bliss.
You are wonderfully
and beautifully crafted
and configured just for me.
Believe it or not,
I deeply love you.
My soul loves you
and i need you.
My heart is
your next day
dwelling place.
And right here,
this man and
that man was
born there.
But i will be
waiting for you
with love right here.
