ethereal caress

Wow.

This heart is going

on a pitter patter.

 

Your touch,

so tender,

has made my heart tingle.

 

How you do this, I'll never know,

it's just, I guess,

the way your heart glows towards me.

 

I see nothing more than you now.

Just watching from your distant shore.

 

And my own heart,

feels as if light is bursting forth,

toward yours,

wanting to touch it.

 

I thank you

for what you do to me.

In this spirit realm,

I feel you so close.

 

Caressing me,

ethereally.

 

And I never

want to be separated

from that sensation.

I finally figured out why you

I finally figured out why you can't be with the one you love. This poem is so "you". Love it.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I would never do that. I

I would never do that. I consider it everyone's personal and sacred journey to seek the love they desire in life. Anyone else can theorize or hope or wish them the best for them, but it is all about he/she who has the want...the desire. Only they know. "It is their dream". 

 

You will see why when you are ready to know. In the meantime, I will just read your poetry and wait for you to see what you really knew all along.

fair enough... On some level,

fair enough...

On some level, I think I know what you mean... what I've really known all along.

But at the same time, I think I deny that truth so adamantly that I blind myself to it.

But the blindfold is kinda see through. So I think I have a chance.

Course, It would be a lot easier if I'd just take the darn thing off.

What surprises me, HW, is

What surprises me, HW, is that I see my own core belief system and concept of love so similar to you, and sometimes I think that maybe my own view is distorted, and you aren't like me at all, but I lean more towards seeing you as a very strong believer in love being universal. I think maybe where we are different is that I don't see feelings and emotions as part of love, but part of myself as a human being, and something we get to enjoy, and enhance and many times help our experience while we are here. Emotions are products of our conditioned and and learned information. They stem from our thoughts...what we think, what we were taught is the 'right or wrong' way to love, show love, and be loved. Those thoughts became our beliefs about what love is, and are deeply imbedded, and I do believe control us and our emotions... but wwho is to say that what we learned love is...is love? Why do we believe it? How van we believe it, when love has no boundaries? It is infinite. I used to think I could love one person more...or most...or that "oh I will never love anyone like I loved so and so".  Today I think it is so absurd because the way we show everyone love is different for each person, isn't it? How could we love any other way when we are all differnt and unique?

 

I don't know how it is for you, but just sharing how it is for me...and I will probably be learning about it for the rest of my life. Or at least I hope so :-)

I really appreciate the

I really appreciate the thought you've put into your response. I'm not certain how to define it for myself. I'm with you on the univeral love. As far as the emotional aspect goes, I think it is just that. An aspect. Love is all encompassing and in embodied life emotions go along with it. It's such a confusing subject. It's like, I'm in love with the universe in its every aspect. I'm in love with every life that exists (even the parts I hate). But yet, I long for that special touch that comes with a chemical reaction kind of love. The kind that doesn't happen with every individual encountered. The kind of love that, too is universal, but, can only happen when the mix is just right between two unique people, here in our human forms. Emotions are a pain in the behind. or heart. or both. I try not to let them control me anymore but I still honor and respect them, feel them, then release them, as they come.

 

I'll probably be learning about it for the rest of my days too. I'm a love junkie. I love it in all forms.

Exactly. No one is certain

Exactly. No one is certain how to define it. But the point I am making is that when our emotions are stronger for one person than another, I personally do not think it is necessarily because there is some awesome special "love". There is just a chemistry of a sort that leads us to think it is love. It is not love, but it is a "by product of love" that the two people (or sometimes one person) created themselves at the summons of their soul so that they could learn something about love. 

 

 In other words, relationships are about two people "creating".Creation being the very core of human love. It's why all great art touches us so deeply. It comes from the core of our very essences.

I'm with you on all of it.

I'm with you on all of it. Just still, there seems to be something special when that particular spark ignites. It's like when you get certain spirits within range of eachother, they have a natural attraction to one another. It happens with friends too. In an instant of connection, I have made some of my greatest friends. It's like we just knew eachothers spirits. But still, different. That sparkly kind of connection is unique. Only happens only in the proper circumstance. With the right combination of chemicals. Course, that is not love. It can come with lust too. But either way, it is a special feeling. And when it comes with that sensation of falling 'in love', and not lusting. Where the heart catches fire when ever you are in their presense. And happiness fills you when you see their eyes, or hear their voice. Ah, nevermind, after writing all this, I realize, I should just shut up. For my 'feelings' of love are so strong for so many that I do feel that sort of 'in love' feeling a lot of the time. It's just less the lust. Hmmm... I must contemplate this further. I'm rambling now...

Yes very true...it appears

Yes very true...it appears that way to the person experiencing it. It's referred to (I believe) as an aspect of "magical thinking", and happens to us all around age 5. For some, it persists a lifetime...either healthy or unhealthy.

Well, I personally, love magical thinking and I don't think I'll ever stop. It's the only think that truly resonates with me and keeps a smile on my face.
