One of life’s greatest mysteries is love. Love is also one of life’s greatest challenges and it remains life’s greatest gift. People come into our lives at what appears to be the oddest of times, sometimes the worst of times and rarely the best of times. Souls collide in unforeseen and un-ideal circumstances but love has no boundaries. It is not held to rules or order, it knows not of right and wrong. Love is blind.
We cannot force love to emerge nor can we force love to retreat. It simply will be. Do we accept it as is, or do we wait for it to conform to an ideal? It has been over 6 weeks since I have been in an emergency room. I have smiled honestly and sincerely for the first time in many years. For once, I am at peace with myself and where I stand. I can almost hear the cue music playing and a voice overhead saying
“…and the award goes to!...”
A woman in a hunter green evening gown stands holding a silver man, extending it outward to be claimed by me. Winning. Accepting. Honorably. Thankfully. The acceptance speech…
A man hand carved by God, for me, has come into my life. Like a storms effect on the oceans current, like the product of rain on a planted seed, he has come into my heart and taken me to a place I had never dare dreamed. The man I love…holds my heart and all its pieces…here is to you baby, I’ll be your molasses if you will be my butter!
“Your spirit illuminates mine, your eyes feed me, your mind challenges me and your hands nurture me. Your kindess and gentleness astound me. Your attentiveness is out of this world. Your touch sends me soaring, your voice sooths me from the inside out, your smell intoxicates me, your thoughts arouse me, your ideas inspire me and your love, your love, makes me want to ask you to come away with me. No matter where we are, when I look into your eyes I can come away with you, the world fades out, the crowds silence and all I see is you and me. Your all I want. I love you.”
“I truly believe God sent me to you and you to me. I believe “us” was in his plan. I believe that at age 9 when I started praying every night for my future husband, that I was praying for you. I believe that the night before my wedding when I wanted to run it was my heart knowing that I didn’t have the right piece. That I was rushing the puzzle to make a whole puzzle and not caring about the details of the picture.”
“I have heard your cries and your pleas to God. I have seen your anointing. I see your gifts. I see you. I see the man that holds my heart forever. You brought me to life…”
“Your pain and joys flow through me. I hear you pray, I feel you watching me, my mind waits to be stimulated by you, my spirit waits to be enlightened by you, my soul waits to be at peace near you, my body waits to take you in, my heart waits for you…”
“As odd as this may sound, I compare my love for you like Gods love. Constant, never failing, full of grace,...the love I have for you is not all of this world. There is something about it that goes beyond the stars, beyond the universe, beyond reason, beyond logic.”
“It feels so good to be so loved by such an amazing, sweet, kind, beautiful, stunning, caring, loving, generous, unselfish man like you. beyond your carved exterior is a beauty that I cannot even put into words...its a feeling. Your beauty is a feeling. I look at you when I am driving and shake my head, I know u see me do that, and I am thinking "I cannot believe God created exactly what I dreamed of in a man...everything..." from lips to eyes to heart to soul...you amaze me.”
“Intoxicated with your love lingering in the early morning air, I rub my eyes to see a new day. My vision blured with love beyond the words and physical expression, my soul awaits to see the rising sun. It is you that makes the sun rise and the sun set within the depths of my fragile being. Illuminated with hope and joy that floods my flesh and smile, I glow simply speaking your name, as it leaves my lips I kiss it, for your name itself is to sweet to part without one last taste. Enthralled by your strength and your beauty, I stand in awe gazing upon the curves and muscles encasing the intricate soul that lies within. To see love pouring from your veins and tears of appreciation seeping from your eyes, it leaves me breathless and trembling. Captivated by your prayers and written words, I am left on my knees in prayer thanking God for the man that has choose to make me his. To see you , to love you, to thank you, to watch you, to taste you, to hold you, to touch you, to you, I hand my heart. Intoxicated. Illuminated. Enthralled. Captivated. Yours.”
