There is a risk involved in everything
Everytime you share a smile
Everytime you shed a tear
You are opening yourself up to hurt.
Some people tread slowly through life,
Avoiding the risk closeness brings,
Side-stepping the things they can't understand
Turning away from those who care too much,
those who care stay too long, those who hold too tightly.
There is never an easy way to love
You can not approach it cautiously
It will not wait for you to arm yourself.
It does not care if you turn away
it is everywhere, it is everything.
Love is the greatest of all risks.
It is not reliable, it is not cautious, it is not sympathetic.
It is unprejudiced and unmerciless.
It strikes the strongest of mind,
and brings them to their knees in one blow.
Even in the best of times, love hurts.
It hurts to need, it hurts to belong,
It hurts to become the other part of someone else,
without either of your consent.
But, from the moment it overtakes you,
it hurts worse to be all alone.
The risk of love never depletes;
It grows stronger and more dangerous with time.
But, it is in this total surrender of all defense,
That we, no matter weak or strong, no matter willing or captive,
no matter what, we truly experience love.
Despite the many things love is not, outweighing it all are the things that love
is. Love is surrender without a loss; it is a gift without the cost. It consumes
your every thought and your every desire,
every breath you take.
It is the fire that fuels you to do more than pass through life;
it urges you to live.
No matter the outcome, having felt love, you will never be the same.
It may scar your heart and soul and leave you only memories of forever.
Or, it may cause every day of your life to feel like there is no need for
tomorrow. But, love, it is worth it, it is worth the risk...
for in all of life, it is truly the only risk worth taking.
When we met
I never knew
That I would end up
loving you
My feelings took me
by surprise
The first day I looked
into your eyes
I tried hard to control
what I feel
I tell you that
It's no big deal
But I can't lie
to you any longer
My feelings for you
are getting stronger
Please tell me that
one day you'll be mine
If it's what you need
I'll give you time
My heart is all
torn up inside
My feelings I'll
no longer hide
I'm sorry to put
this pressure on you
I just don't really
know what to do!
I want you to know that I do know what you need, even when I cannot give it to you.
My own limitations will impede my performance, but I know that my greatest contribution to your life will be to help you love yourself to think better and more gently of yourself.
To accept your own limitations more peacefully in the perspective of your whole person.
To give you all you need would require a wholeness in me that I do not have.
I cannot come through for you always as you need me.
But I can promise you this much, I will try.
I will try always to reflect to you your unique value and worth.
I will try to be a mirror to your beauty and goodness.
I will try to read your heart and not your lips.
I will always try to understand you rather than judge you.
I will never demand that you meet my expectations as the price of admission to my heart.
So do not ask me why I love you.
Such a question could invite only the response of conditional love.
I do not love you because you look a certain way, or do certain things, or practice certain values.
Only ask me this... do you love me?
And I can always answer yes, oh Yes!...
Taking me in her flight of love and desire.
Leading me to heaven as we together in the winters night.
As we met on lovers field.
She kissed me again in the garden of Eden.
We joined in eternal flame within the stars of dreamers and lovers.
For an eternity we lived in the heavens of lovers paradise.
As a tear of joy grasped my heart.
Fell upon the ground in the garden to give birth
To a rose of flaming red loving desire of tranquil love of two.
After many years of travel.
searching for myself,
I do believe I've found me,
deep in someone else.
For, you have made me realize
it's not myself I seek,
but the beauty in a morning,
like the softness when you speak;
the lovely in an evening,
like the color in your eyes;
the passion in our meetings,
like the pleasure in your sighs;
the heaven of creating,
at times when We are One;
and the bliss of relaxation,
as we sleep beneath the Sun.
Love is like the burning candle,
Kindled by two hearts;
Hearts that find their fullness,
In oneness.
Hearts that are bound
By the golden threads of love,
Are hearts that are inseparable;
Pining for each other in separation.
Love illuminates the way ahead of you,
Rendering true worth to every moment of your life
Imparting warmth in the chilly winter of your life.
Love is the sun that melts the snow,
To reveal the beauty of the snow-clad mountains;
Love is the rock that smashes the shell,
To reveal the precious pearl that lies within.
To plant a flower on the lips
of someone so divine,
brings on the Music of the Spheres,
and causes Stars to shine.
It brings the Moon into the Sky;
it flames the Sun above;
it puts the Planets in their paths
and gives them all a shove.
To pick a flower from the lips
of one who is so sweet,
impels the Earth upon its course;
stands Humans on their feet.
It frees the Birds into the Sky;
the Fish into the Sea;
it brings the Light into the World,
and breathes the Life in Me.
