Shining Thru

It’s nice when you realize that the person you love really does love you for exactly who you are.  It’s nice to know that you are not expected to change, that it’s ok to be who you are.  Even the things that you fear would drive someone away are simply accepted by someone who truly loves you.  It’s so great to know that you don’t  have to that you can be completely honest and that the honesty hasn’t driven the person away….they are still there, still looking in your eyes lovingly and you know that they love you as much as you love them…that you are not alone, not drowning in this powerful emotion that you can’t choose to have or not have…it simply is or is not. 

It’s nice to know that although there is a lot that goes wrong in life or at least not the way you expect things to go…it is a lot easier knowing that you are loved and that your love is accepted with an open heart and returned.  It’s just nice to know that someone cares.  Nice to know that sometimes there really is a perfect fit and that life keeps on going as long as you keep on living and don’t give up.

The passion bursts forth

Not knowing where it built

Not knowing how it came to be

Only knowing that it’s amazing

That there could never be a love so strong as this one

Knowing that the love will last forever if we let it

Love sneaking up into a mounting passion

No longer able to contain what you didn’t even realize was there

Flying high on a cloud of loving hot passion

In a perfect world for that short time

No worries or concerns

Only love, passion, and desire

Only the act of two becoming one in a loving embrace

Soft and subtle, building and building

Love and Passion Explode into perfect peacefulness.

What is romance and where can you find it?  Can it be in a song, book, letter?  What about a smile, wink, look?  A touch, a date, a dinner?  A flower, a gift, wine?  What makes something romantic?

Why is it that it seems like one thing could be one of the most romantic things you can think of and absolutely repulse another person or at least make them role their eyes and wish their way out of the conversation or worse the experience if your thoughts are already taking action…..Why is it that one thing might work with one person…maybe you truly enjoyed it, but then tried with someone else, and it is just no use…just wont work.  Why are some things amazing with one person and then boring, something you might even resent with someone else?

I think it’s interesting to see how much the idea of romance has changed, not only on a personal level, but also as a society.  I know I am a romantic at heart.  I love things with personal meaning, I love a lot of the classic ideas of romance…however, I have found that with the right person, almost anything can melt my heart and give me that feeling of romance.

What is family?  I have never thought of my family as just blood relations….but what makes a family?  Does it just take a caring heart…I think it’s more than that.  I think it has to be someone who loves you and cares about you…but more than that they have to be willing to stand by you and be there for you even in the toughest of times….someone who wont walk away because it got hard or they disagreed with a decision that you make.  Blood doesn’t make a family, heart of a person willing to give and sacrifice for another person makes a family….

On that same note, I’m not sure that family requires unconditional love …. or that unconditional is even available to most people.  It’s an interesting concept….LOVE…what is it that attracts some people together for a romantic relationship, parental relationship, or some other kind of family relations.

Bliss full reunion with your arms

Loving touch and gentle kiss

Passion explodes as the day goes on

Night time comes to loving embrace

Love and trust reassured in your eyes

Eyes so bright with love and life

The soul pouring forth

Delight and joy spilling forth as we unite

Together there is happiness

Only joy and laughter and love

Take another look

But don’t look back

No regrets but fond memories

The time spent in the blissfulness of love

Look around the corner, not able to see around the bend

Looking for clarity but only able to replay the confusion

Knowing that the love is powerful

It will always be there, no matter what angle it’s viewed

Powerful and always there

The joy when I hear your voice

The happiness and peace that comes with your touch

Not wanting it to disappear into the foggy complications of life

Not wanting to give it up, we go on

Hand in hand, squeeze tight and let me know you’re there

Never alone, our love grows and grows

In the comfort of knowing that you care

We’re here and our love is here to stay.

The comfort and love from the one you’re meant to be with

Can do more for you than anything else in the world

True love can endure and carry on through the toughest of times

No matter what happens between you, you’re always there together

Always there for each other, no matter what needs to be done

Enduring loving that lasts through the sunshine and the storms

In one loving touch, word or act, everything can come back together

The love is the glue and bond between you two

The love and trust that is always there, is the security that you have

Even without words or the gentle touch you have that love and trust

The search for security has ended in the realization that love is forever.

Like the waves gentle pulse along the shore

Acceptance comes in calm gentle waves

Acceptance,  as the calm and the peace come with it

Knowing that what will be, will be, knowing that I’m not in control

Knowing that love will last

Love and hope, admiration and trust

Knowing that the caring love is still in the two hearts

Peace and Joy are the hope, it’s what brings on the waves of acceptance

Love and trust will bring on the sparkles of the water

As the sun sets on another day I hear the waves’ gentleness

As I lay down I can feel my heart beat soften and relax

Acceptance throughout my body, as I think of you

The joy and peace found in your love

Knowing that the calm voice of peace is close at hand

Knowing that although the heart strains, Love holds it together.

How much do people need and desire the emotion of love?  I feel like a lot of people try to bring as many people that they love into their lives as possible.  While others fear the commitment, they fear the need they feel, and don’t trust anyone and therefore push away anyone who loves them.  What is it about this emotion that makes it so powerful, how can something that is so beautiful at times be so hurtful at others?  Even when you have the love, sometimes it is so passionate and powerful that it hurts; and it becomes really painful while the person that you are in love with isn’t there…even for a short time, and heart breaking when it’s forever. 

Why does this emotion seem to be among those that we appreciate, search for, and fear the most?  Love effects us in so many ways, it’s just so unusual….at least when we know we’re scared we know we’re scared, but in love we never know what will happen….and yet I keep desiring to keep it in my life.  Left to do nothing but Hope for the best and hope that it continues on and enjoy every second of it. 

Love is important to everyone, at least I think so…even the people that do fear it, don’t trust it, and push it away…I think that they still secretly want it, even if they wont admit it to themselves.

The goal of all your hopes and dreams is in sight,

You can see the prize, you are focused, your desire is stronger than ever before…

Do we plunge in or proceed with caution? 

Do we pass over a good thing, even though we trip over it running to the prize?

Or do we see everything and anything …..not kicking things out of the way?

A good thing so close, but feels so cold and distant

A love that has filled your soul, still strongly pounding…burning

Left wanting for the loving arms at the end of the race

The love, security, and passion….all coming together

When your eyes meet, and a smile can’t be controlled

This is the dream, this is what’s in sight

This is what I want.

The burning desire in my mind and heart fills my soul

Love that wont disappear, will always be there….happiness waiting to be tapped to completion. 

A happiness that has started the sparks, and now wants to burn fully, but needs the oxygen of the space in sight.
