We as humans
do love labels
I believe it's the mind's need
to categorize
and (try to) understand
the vastness of life.
The Greeks understood
that Love has many forms
Many expressions.
When I say I love you.
I feel an all
Encompassing Love.
Love beyond
Rules,
Roles,
Stories
or Labels.
If I have to
break it down
Disect this energy
I've felt
I feel
I might say...
I am totally in (my) love with you.
I love you
In many ways.
A Soul Love
A Deep Love
A Big Love
A Vast
A Heart Love
A Human love.
Timeless Love
Expanded Love
Surrendered Love
Love beyond form
And love of your form.
Expanding Love
Love that Lovers feel
Wanting to show
To express
with their hands
With their bodies
The Love they feel.
It feels like
I've felt it all.
Am I in love?
Falling in love?
Rising in love?
Yes.
If I stay self-connected
I feel a
Love beyond fear
Love beyond mind
Love beyond attachment
Love beyond limerance
Or limits.
Love as safety
Love as freedom.
Love as acceptance
of What is.
When I fall out of self-connection
Part of me is afraid
this revelation
this intensity
might scare you
Or overwhelm you
Which honestly is understandable
It's intense and overwhelming
For me at times.
But I started allowing
Myself to fully feel
All the Love I feel
when I connect with you
All the love I am
To live and move inside of me.
With some hesitation too
If I start thinking
Or stop breathing
But as Rumi said
"Fall in Love, and stay there."
And this time I'm curious to "stay there"
Without expectation or need
Beyond your form
I am knowing myself as Love
Knowing you as Love
Feeling the Love
which connects us
To the Beloved.
Wanting
Desiring
Yet not needing
Even though reciprocity
Would be (is) enjoyable,
Adventurous
and beautiful.
It's already beautiful
inside of me
As is.
