“I love you” trips lightly off the tongue,
And often stays that way.
Light and careless; superficial,
Romantic reflex; will not stay.
When love goes deep and swells the heart,
All thoughts of self drowned out.
Then one knows the true divine,
You are complete, no need to shout.
Within its depths the human soul,
Responds and opens wide,
Darkness becomes charged with light,
Two are united; no divide.
Certain music means so much more,
You write in verse and prose,
Life is vibrant, never more,
Your loving gift a deep red rose.
All is shared, with no conditions,
And yet for to survive,
Independence there must be
For both; to keep your love alive.
Share alone and share together,
That’s the way it ought to be,
For love uplifts and love inspires,
Such love will always make us free.
With love the world and we were born,
The love of God; let’s use it
To make the world a better place,
Let’s not waste it or abuse it.
