I firmly believe that
we express to the extent of our understanding
you express forgiveness
to the extent that you understand forgiveness
you express love
to the extent that you understand love
you express humility
to the extent that you understand humility
if your understanding is distorted
your expression is an extent of that
however
it is important to note
that we express what has been shown
to others
and to ourselves
when we were young
we gained these relational templates
through our youth
your ability to forgive
love
is heavily influenced by the way
it was demonstrated to you
and to those around you

first is admiration of the body
of the seen
you find beauty in an individual's physical looks
but then
you realizes that those physical looks alone
are not specific to only that particular person
this then expands to finding beauty in many people
with those physical looks
commonly known as having a type regarding looks

second is admiration of the personality
of the unseen
you find beauty in the thoughts
beliefs
or opinions
of an individual
but then
you realizes that those thoughts
beliefs
or opinions alone
are not specific to only that particular person
this then expands to finding beauty in many people
that hold those similar thoughts
beliefs
or opinions
commonly known as having a type regarding personality

third is admiration for the institutions of thought
the structures that are the origins for the thoughts
beliefs
and opinions
this is the transitional stage
where one finds beauty beyond the human
and in the customs
in the institutions
philosophies
theories
or religions
that hold the previous thoughts
beliefs
and opinions

and lastly is the admiration of God
who is the source of all creation
from beautiful things
to beautiful bodies
to beautiful thoughts
beliefs
and opinions
and lastly
the beauty of learning
This is my take on the ladder of love which Socrates recounted according to Diotima; I really enjoyed learning about this in college of my winter quarter of my sophomore year.

i was staring at the night's sky
and noticed the poetic beauty
in knowing that if you want to see a shooting star
you have to go to darker places
where there is less light
to view such an event

You are a meteor shower on a canvas made of ebon sky.

You shed ice and dust with a glow that is easy to identify.

You shower me with beauty and steal away my breath.

You my love make the universe envy,
you are different than all of the rest.

A mouthwatering masterpiece of expression and galactic hue.

Tonight darling
tonight.....

i've never seen anything more beautiful than you.

Your teddy of white soft **** silk and lace,
covering your sweaty body in all the right places.
A soft kiss and a nibble on the nape of your neck,
south down your body slowly, a methodical pace.
Your inner thighs as hot as a melting ice cream cone,
I lick and I lick , fever pitched breathing , my shoulders you brace,
I make my way by the silk and the lace,
like candy from heaven, sweetness is all that I taste.
Legs draped over each one of my shoulders,
the summit is near , oh that look on your face.
The ceiling fan on high over a bed of sweat filled sheets,
cooling their bodies as if in a race.
Your teddy of white soft **** silk and lace,
gone without a trace.

'Yours and everyone's
'concrete poet'
