Love Is A Verb

     Who can explain love, it is the undefinable essence felt within the heart. You cannot see it, you cannot touch it, but it is the most powerful force there is, the purest form of it is poured out in giving.
     We give our hearts in love, in all of the little things we do each and every day that show the ones we love that we love them.
     Love is a verb and action speaks louder than words. As John Mayer aptly put it, love is a verb, it ain't a thing, it's not something you own, it's not something you scream. Love can be at its very best when it is commuicated in silence. Words need not be spoken to convey love. It's the little things we do that become monumental. A hug, a kiss, just holding someone, no words necessary.
     Alison Krauss sang it, you say it best when you say nothing at all. Its our actions that show what is in our hearts. Love is thinking of the person you love, knowing the things that they like and a want to give to them. Love cannot be forced or demanded, it has to be free. love freely given and freely received is the best love. Love takes joy in being with your loved one, love looks forward to the moments you will spend together.
     Love sees past every outward thing and into the heart. Love knows so innately that there is no explanation needed because love understands. As the words to a song says, Old Mr. Webster could never define what's being said between your heart and mine. When two hearts speak to one another love is being defined.  The action goes far beyond any spoken words.
     There is a verse in the Bible that says love bears all. Out of curioity I looked up the word bear, the meaning in the original Greek is to cover with silence. I was inspired to write this poem:

                                                        

Love Bears All

In silence love will find me
In the quietness
Of your arms
Love is what I see
No words needed
In moments like these
Two souls are joined
Love seeks to please
Love bears all
And quietly speaks
Our hands touch
Love is all we seek.

What Women Want

     I used to think I could classify all women as being pretty much the same and wanting the same things, but I don't think that's possible. I suppose there are many things women share in common, but each person is so individualized that not all women are the same. We are influenced by our culture and women who are raised in different parts of the world believe different things.
     I recently watched a show about sex appeal and if some of what they say is true it is a sad commentary on women and society. They assigned different men's pictures with different income levels and those who had higher incomes were found to be more attractive. Sad indeed that a person should be loved for the amount of money they make. Obviously we all need to make a living, but what are material things such as a fine home if love is not found within the walls of that home.
     I have come to the conclusion that I don't know what other women want, but I do know what I desire. I want to be with someone I can bare my soul with and not be rejected when I am less than perfect. I want my partner to bare their soul with me, I want to know the one I love intimately, to share things with each other that are just between us.
     I never want to stop looking at my love's face and not be thrilled when I see it. Everyone says love settles down, I say why should love settle down, why shouldn't you be as excited to be with that person as in the very first days of your love. Love should grow deeper, but never settle down. I want the person I love to be on my mind and my heart. I want to think about my love and smile even during the routine of the day. This is what being in love should be. And I have come to the conclusion that if it is not that way, at least for me, it is not being in love. Falling in love is a term that I used to make fun of, but come to find out it is true.
