My Husband (still missing in action "LoL")

Dear Mr. Husband Man,

Even though I don't know exactly who you'll be yet (I have my ideas), I think of you often. I wonder how you're living your life now. It matters to me, you know, because how you live your life now determines the kind of man you're becoming...and the kind of man I'll spend the rest of my life with. I know you’re out there. You might be the person right in front of my face. You might be someone I don’t know. Not yet anyway. I might be 86 by the time we meet, but at least we will have finally found each other. I can feel you if I shut my eyes tight enough. I know you will love me like no one ever has. I know you will understand me.

You’ll help me open myself up, let myself go. I think your patience will compliment my impulsiveness. You’ll be the calm to my storm and I to yours. Magic. It exists. I’ve seen it. Have you? Or have you just seen glimmers of it? You must believe in it though because you’re my future husband and that’s a job requirement – one of the reasons why I’ll love you so much. So…where are you? When are you going to pop into my life? How is it going to happen?

Will we ever even meet? I wonder what you’re doing right now?

It’s a Saturday.

You’re probably home. Working on something. I think you like to work a lot…or maybe you’ve finished working and you’re reading, writing or creating before you crawl into bed. Maybe you’re at work. Or maybe even (I can only hope), you’re dreaming of me as I am of you. I love you. Or at least I love the idea of you. I hope you love me. Or the idea of me. We should start loving each other now, because we’ll love each other forever.

Love, Someday, Always, Yours at heart, Your future wife,

Soul Connection

Soulmates

Imagine a love so pure, you're soulmates.

You're connected heart to heart, mind to mind, soul to soul. It's so powerful that words don't adequately describe it. It's just something you just know. It's something that's part of you.

The best quote about soulmates that I've found so far comes from Leslie Parrish: "A soul mate is probably someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys that fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are".

The love between soulmates is so strong, so intense, so all-encompassing. Spiritually, emotionally, sexually you are one. There is a deep love and intimacy.

A soulmate has your soul and meshes yours with theirs. Your heart beats their name and whispers secrets meant for just the two of you. The bond is special and strong. Spiritual. The connection between you defies time and logic. It can't be explained. It can't be neatly put into a box or contained.

A soulmate is someone you see spending your life with. Someone you see walking down the aisle for. Someone you see raising a family together and bringing children into the world. Someone you see standing in the doorway of your child's bedroom with and watching them sleep peacefully; nestled and safe and having a profound feeling of peace wash over you.

A soulmate comes into your life to reveal another layer of yourself, an added dimension of yourself that only they can unlock from within you. They bring out the best in you. They see in your heart. They see the purest parts of you, the most vulnerable in you, and you trust those parts of yourself with them. They're someone you want to be everything for. You learn from each other. You listen to each other.

You support each other emotionally and spiritually. They're someone you may argue with but also someone who is on your side and will have your back unconditionally.
A soulmate is someone you can talk to about anything and nothing. It's comfortable. It never gets old. It flows like a lazy river, smooth and evenly, uninhibited and untamed.

A soulmate is someone you're the happiest you've ever been. It's sappy and loving and goofy. They're someone you can be yourself around. They love you for who you are.

A soulmate is someone you can laugh with, cry with, holds you up when you fall. Someone who you would go to the ends of the earth for, walk through fire for. They're someone you feel like you've known your whole life.

A soulmate is someone who can read you. They know your map by heart. They know what you need without having to ask. They know when you need quiet or a distraction.

They know when to rescue you, when you need to borrow their strength, and when to allow you to find your own. They're your sounding board and best friend. The person you're closest to, the one you gave your whole self to.

A soulmate shares your joy and feels your pain on an almost physical level. They hurt when you hurt. They're your protector and salve that eases your pain.

A soulmate is a gift that everyone should have at least once in their life. It's special and sacred and beautiful, and when you have it, you know it.

A soulmate consumes your thoughts. They melt together with you and fills voids that were left empty by past pains. Your life is a puzzle and they are the missing piece. The thought of losing them hurts you physically.

If they're torn from your life, it leaves a void. Part of you is missing. They became part of your life and part of the fabric of who you are that there will always be a special place for them in your heart. They're the person who got away and could never be replaced because the connection was so strong that it was one for the recordbooks.
Not everyone finds theirs. I did.

I thought about you Too
Current mood: blessed
Category: Writing and Poetry

I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU TOO
IT FELT LIKE THE RIGHT THING TO DO
THE MORE I THOUGHT
THE MORE I SEEN IT TO BE TRUE
I THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR SMILE,
THAT ALWAYS DRIVES ME WILD
I THOUGHT ABOUT THE WAY YOU LIFT MY MIND
THE JOY YOU BRING IS NEVER HARD TO FIND
YOU FEEL SO CLOSE
EVEN WHEN YOU ARE FAR AWAY
I THINK DAY TO DAY
HOW YOU MAKE MY HEART'S MUSIC PLAY
A MELODY
THAT RIDES A LONG WITH THE SWEET WORDS YOU SAY
I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU SO MANY TIMES
BEFORE THE POEM AND BETWEEN EACH LINE
I THOUGHT OF YOU WITH EACH CHILL YOU SEND UP MY SPINE
I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU
AS I LICKED MY LIPS
YOUR RICH CHOCOLATE, I WOULD SLOWLY SIP
THE WAY YOUR HAND REST ON MY HIP
AS WE WALK A LONG OUR PASSIONATE TRIP
I THOUGHT ABOUT
THE FUNNY WAY YOU WOULD MAKE ME LAUGH
AND THE QUIET MOMMENTS WE WOULD HAVE
ME LAYING IN YOUR ARMS WATCHING TV
A REALITY SHOW, WATCHING US JUST BE
I THOUGHT OF YOU ALSO.... MISSING ME!

"Do You Believe In Love ?"

" REAL LOVE "

True love is tested
True love is best
Love is harder that all the rest
It’s balanced in wisdom
Its judgments are true
It is not just sentimental of heart
Thus, governing love with forgiveness’ glue

Love rebukes
Love brings growth
Love acknowledges what’s good for both
Love weighs “the truth” with event of time
Love, indeed, is “such a good friend” of mine
Though, love must start first from within
It frees the soul from unwanted guilt and sin

Love lives and gives, and humbly receives
It never harbours resentment for lost realities
It makes allowances for faults and frailties
Love loves to recall the best from such tragedies
Love is so contagious
It pulls on the heart-strings to win
Love will always forgive, again and again

Love gives sound boundaries, and security of space
Love give principles, so wise, for posterity’s race
Love is among equals is most often the best
Love’s quite ‘a powerful word’ amidst those of tranquil zest
Love is quite patient, gracious and kind
Although, love for God’s standard is- amore noble find
I hat evil, but even this takes greater courage and love to do
But the wisest of all love- is to “love Wisdom’s best” for you

"Fairytale Love Affair"

My idea of love? Where do I start?

We all get trapped inside the ho-hum existence of every day life. We go to work to earn a living. We have children who take up a large part of our lives. We have friends and sometimes find that we are spreading ourselves too thin. No matter how tired we are, no matter how stressed we are, no matter how much our agenda holds...we make time.

Work is hard and brings many daily stresses to all of our lives. That's inevitable. Children require all of our attention. That's inevitable. Friends are many, for some, and to make time to maintain our friendships can sometimes be very exhausting...but we do it, because we want friends. That's inevitable. In my world...LOVE should be the same.

To have a partner is a commitment that is entirely above and beyond the inevitable. Maintaining a relationship is an exhausting effort and sometimes becomes so powerful that we feel powerless.

To love is to comfort and hold constantly. To love is to want uncontrollably and so passionately that it seems impossible. To love is every chance you get without friends, family, or children, to be together embracing every moment of togetherness, alone...without others.

Don't take your eyes off me. Remember that I feel alone. Know that I need. Be certain that I want.

You're tired. I am tired but I will make that time, because I love you.

Touch me for no reason. Kiss me because you can. Make love to me because there is time and not because you feel like it.

Don't leave me alone with my thoughts but know when to give me my space. Understand that there is nothing in the world I would rather have than for you to be in my arms.

Love starts with passion and ends because that passion is forgotten. It takes more work than most human beings are capable of and is so easily written off as irreconcilable differences...when all it takes, sometimes, is a hand reaching out to hold yours.

Life makes us so busy that we forget about the small things that make us happy. Well...what makes some of us happy. We wrap ourselves in our every day hussle and before you know it...love slips from our hands. It's not that we want it to happen...it just does. We forget to try. Not you, not me...but we.

Look into my eyes every chance you get. Reach out to hold my hand every chance you get. Touch me every chance you get. Kiss me every chance you get. When the few and far between chance comes along that we are able to share a night alone...don't let that moment pass by without something.

Is my idea of love too much? Maybe my fairytale is asking for more than what is real...I don't think so but I could be wrong.

A simple touch, a simple kiss, a simple hug, a simple hand to hold...

I want the fairytale.

The Dream , The Kiss

This Girl

There's a girl livin' in this town
Shes got her head up in the sky
but her feet are on the ground
There's a girl livin' on my street
She knows outside her little world
Somehow ends are gunna meet
And when the roads get kinda rough
She keeps one thing in mind
The longest journey always starts with
Once upon a time
And this girl has seen a lot of pain
But this girls gunna smile again
But she knows a flower grows everytime
It rains

And this girls got a lot of dreams
She knows that tommorrow isn't what it seems
She might not slove a mystery tonight
But this girls gunna be alright

Theres a girl walking in these shoes
And she knows that everythings she got
is all shes got to loose
Theres a dream right behind these eyes
And she finds a reason to be strong with every tear she dries
Being hard to fight the way things are
so she leaves the world behind
with the sound of doubt turned up so loud she turns the music up inside

::And this girls seen a lot of pain
but this girls gunna smile again she knows that a flower grows everytime it rain
and this girls got a lot of dreams
she knows that tommorrow ain't what it seems
she might not slove a mystery tonight
but this girls gunna be alright

She knows it so much she's never seen
the sound will come louder to find out what it means

And this girls seen a lot of pain
but this girls gunna smile again she knows that a flower grows everytime it rain
and this girls got a lot of dreams
she knows that tommorrow ain't what it seems
she might not slove a mystery tonight
but this girls gunna be alright
Alright, shes gunna be alright

Is There Really A True Love?

So What Is True Love?

Thich Nhat Hanh, a world renowned Buddhist monk who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, describes true love as having four elements
Lovingkindness, compassion, joy and freedom.
.. ..

Lovingkindness

When you truly love someone you embrace them for who they are this very minute. You do not have fantasies about what you believe they could evolve into. You accept their shortcomings and foibles and sometimes love them all the more because of it. You have the desire to create happiness for them and through your actions are able to bring about lasting joy in their lives.

This requires a deep level of understanding with regards to your mates wishes. Many people have done things with the intent to build a better life for their partners only to find out that their actions caused more pain and suffering to occur. The resultant argument usually starts with the sentence "You just don't understand" or "You never listen." True love always listens!

This doesn't mean you will never have an argument. How boring would life be if we all agreed on everything. But there is a distinct difference between a disagreement which eventually brings two people closer together and a situation where one or both people feel alienated and deeply hurt.
.. ..
Compassion

When your love is pure your primary intention is to remove the pain and suffering that has plagued your partner throughout their lives. We all come into relationships with baggage, past failures and disappointments, that can overwhelm the present if we let it.

Being able to help heal the old wounds of your beloved is what compassion is all about. If you truly love someone you cannot stand to see them suffer. Helping them to overcome their hurt and fear in a compassionate way establishes trust. One of the foundations of a strong and long lasting relationship.
.. ...

Joy

Every day you should feel absolute joy when you wake up next to your beloved. Obviously there will be times when difficulties arise. The universe throws curve balls at us all the time that we have to find a way to deal with. But even through those dark times you should feel grateful that your partner is by your side. They should be able to make you laugh when all you want to do is cry. They should be able to hold you even when they have made you mad. There should be laughter and light not tears and darkness. You should never feel alone and unhappy within your relationship.

.. ..Freedom

Freedom is an essential element for love. You have to have the freedom to be yourself and express your true desires. You have to be able to confidently give your partner all the space and freedom they need to live a fulfilling life. If you become angry or upset because your mate wants to spend time alone or with friends, or if you become jealous over the passion they have for their work or hobby then this is called selfish love.

You are more concerned with your own desires than allowing them the freedom to truly shine within themselves. We all need things outside of a relationship to make us complete human beings. If we do not have access to those things we begin to wither inside. When you have truly found 'The One' you will feel a sense of freedom that has previously been missing in past relationships... ..

What True Love Isn't

True love is never associated with violence, deception, abuse (emotional, physical or verbal), constant sacrifice for the good of only one person, jealousy, fear or mistrust.

"Beginnings"

Your World

Lying here alone upon these rocks tonight,
The loneliness is digging deeper & deeper within my heart
It's so cold lying here now
I'm starting to freeze -inside and out
Even the ghosts have gone home
The people have all gone away
This saturated loneliness
Is all too much to bear
Now I’m lying here
I think I’m dying here, tonight
Life is fading away
Memories turning to shades of gray
I'm lying here alone tonight, not knowing what to do
Lying here tonight
Knowing that this saturated loneliness
Was all caused by you...

So much like love and still so different.
Loneliness is sometimes welcomed, yet many times despised.
We don't often get to choose which,
but when it draws near, we are seldom surprised.

Sometimes, when I am sitting all alone,
I close my eyes and remember...
I remember how wonderful your arms feel,
As they are wrapped around my waist...
I remember your voice... Whispering in my ear.
It's times like these, when I am sitting alone,
Missing you, that I fall in love
Even further.
Even more... In love with you.

Now,
I sit here all alone,
Waiting for you to reappear into my life,
Waiting for you to come and rescue me from the shroud I am in,
Waiting for you to come,
And save me.

If tomorrow never comes,
I want to give you this one kiss,
I want to give you this one memory,
I want to spend this day with you,
I don't want to leave your side,
For fear tomorrow will never come,
And I won't get to say,

I love you,
Always have,
Always will,
You are my one,
You are the one who makes me whole,
You are the one who can save me,
And make me a better person than what I am,
You are my life.

If tomorrow never comes,
I want you to know everything,
I want you to memorize me,
I want you to memorize the way my lips touch yours,
I want you to memorize the way it feels when my fingers run through you hair,
I want you to memorize the way my hands caresses your body,
I want you to memorize me.

Yet something strange happens
When I think of you,
My heart twists in my chest,
And sadness enters my thoughts.
I sit here alone as sadness crept over me.

Thoughts from my mind to yours...

Meeting Of Two Minds

When I sit back and think about the next big day for Lovers—Valentines Day; it made me think and think hard…

.. ..

Life is hard, but Love is even harder…I got to thinking about every girlfriend….every heartbreak…that led me to be the man that I am today…

.. ..

I was made to love you…....

.. ..

To let you know without a shadow of a doubt that I got your back…good and bad.

To let you know that I am the man to keep the house running…like a REAL man should…to make sure that when you go to bed, you can lay your head on that pillow and sleep without a worry…

.. ..

I will remember our first date…....

.. ..

The time, the place…the conversation…what we ate…where we went…you will know that it wasn’t just about getting close to you…but to fully understand you in time and this was the first step

.. ..

My lips to kiss you…....

.. ..

You will know that with every one that we share that ‘I Love You!!” you will feel it in my embrace no matter how long or short…

.. ..

With every peck or tongue lashing that we do …our Love grows stronger…and stronger and I will not let anyone or anything break us or tear us apart

.. ..

My eyes to see you…

I remember the first time I saw you…your skin how it glowed…your walk; how the confidence showed…the swagger that you had…I knew I had seen royalty with my very own eyes…and I had to take the steps to get you in mine…failure was not an option

.. ..

You are the music in me…....

.. ..

I used to think the words ‘Once upon a time’ were only in fairy tales…

A single voice that makes your heart sing when you speak…

I can’t explain why it happens, but it does…

.. ..

It’s like I knew you were coming into my life before it happened…....

.. ..

I awake every morning knowing that you will be here…no one was put on this earth to be alone…for what ever reason we have not met yet; but I know that day is coming and coming soon…with every click of the clock…as every minute…hour and day goes by…we are closer to being together..

.. ..

.. ..

When one door closes another one opens…....

.. ..

Don’t ever think it’s over because when one Love doesn’t work out…it is all in the big picture…you are taking steps to be helplessly in love with the person that is meant for you…you have to go thru the bad….to get to the good

.. ..

Live…Laugh…and Love…....

.. ..

If you live your life for today and stop worrying about things you have no control over…you will be happier…

.. ..

If you take the time to laugh, then half of your worries about life and love will dissolve with the laughter that comes out of you…

.. ..

Love will then find you because you are not looking for it…it will find you and faster than you could have ever imagined…

.. ..

.. ..

Happy Valentine’s Day from me to you!!!

.. ..

Always yours and humbled

.. ..

" My Valentine "

" To my Valentine, if ever you exists... "

The course of true love never did run smooth

Wondering in my thoughts,

I keep asking myself..
what are the chances we would be sharing love

before the night was through..

So long as I can breathe or I can see ...

so long lives your love which gives life to me

I saw you in my dreams and something in your eyes was so inviting..

or was it your smile which was exciting..

nevertheless something in my heart told me I must have you...

Love is the most beautiful of dreams and the worst of nightmares
Here we are, two lonely people so far apart..

Oh my valentine, why are you so far away?

It has been such a long time since

I have been on my quest for you and as each Valentine day passes by,

I sit hereand let my thought wander in the wild for you...

For the things I have never said to anyone,

I only wish you were sitting beside me and

I could finally tell them to you.

My bounty is as deep as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to you,

The more I have, for both are infinite

Oh my Valentine,you're the sun that lights up my sky

the wind that keeps me cool

on a hot summer day and sweet incense

that keeps me on a natural high.

I wake up every morning thinking of you

I go to sleep thinking the same thing too

Throughout the day you're on my mind

Twenty-four-seven you make me blind

Blind to everything but emotion

Your heart swallowed me like it was an ocean

And I was the victim of not pain but of pleasure
The night is nearly through..

And there is no you...

I love you my valentine

I always will...

"Finding Your Soulmate"

12 Ways to Find Your Soul Mate

Get ready for your soul mate with these steps you can take, starting today.

Like many of you, I spent a good part of my adult life longing—and looking—for my soul mate. There were two things that helped to eventually bring my beloved and me together: I never gave up my faith that he existed. And I discovered the importance of getting ready for love. Just in time for a fresh start this Valentine's Day, here are a few pearls of wisdom on the topic, culled from my own experience and many years of work on the front lines of love and relationships.

Believe in Your Soul Mate

When you talk about soul mates, leave plenty of room for possibility. True love is a big, deep, mystical topic. I spent years trying to nail down the ultimate soul mate theory. I now know that there is no such thing. My advice instead is to keep an open mind, explore different ways that people describe soul mate love, and begin to create your own personal description.

How to Start: Make a list of what “soul mate” means to you and the qualities you seek in your true love. Embrace your belief and find within yourself a place of trust and knowing that there is someone out there, somewhere, for you. If you can believe in love--even when life does not seem to be taking you in that direction--you are halfway there!

Make Your Life Love-Friendly

There is a magical aspect to finding your true love, a feeling that seems to permeate your very being as he or she comes into your life. But before you get to that point, the

re is work to do. We can get set in our ways and beliefs, and our lives might become a little too crowded for true love to find its way in. Some of us have healing to do. All of us need to make our lives “love-friendly.”

How to Start: Gently look around your life for ways that you might be preventing love from finding you. Then make a choice to uncover beliefs, behaviors, and stuff that no longer serve you. Clean up what you no longer need, get your life in the best order possible, and you will find yourself getting ready for a great relationship. This will open the doors and the windows to love and begin to truly open your heart as well.

Acknowledge and Slay the Dragons

In the mythology, fairy tales, and Hollywood movies that shape our consciousness about soulful love, epic lovers have a series of challenges to meet and master, and a few dragons to slay, before they can claim the precious prize of everlasting love. The same holds true for modern soul mates. While some people seem lucky in love--as if they were born in a state of readiness for true intimacy and partnership--the rest of us typically have some life lessons to muddle through first.

How to Start: Be brave now and name the things (dragons) that are keeping you from love. Are you immature in love relationships? Demanding? Needy? Obsessive? Do you love too much? Give yourself away too fast? Have a hard time accepting faults in yourself or

others? Do you consistently choose the wrong kind of people, with the same kinds of issues? Are you stuck in a relationship with the wrong person? Begin to identify the things that get in your way and have burned you in the past. That is the first step toward healing and adjusting your behavior.

Work on Healing Your Love Wounds

In soul mate relationships, people bring one another something they don’t already have and take each other to a place neither have ever been. In its purest essence, soul mate love brings an end to the sense of separation because it truly is like being reunited with the self. In the process of loving one another, your soul mate will help heal you, but can’t be responsible for fixing you--even if he or she wants to, don’t let ‘em! The healing process must begin inside yourself.

How to Start: Find a forum in which you can work on healing your heart, and stick with it. Do it for you, and love will follow. If healing has not begun or progressed--through therapy, grief work, spiritual practice, and any other form of transformational work--we risk being needy and overly anxious, and jumping into the wrong relationship. So choose to make this year a time to heal and move on.

Gently Say Good-Bye to Non-Soul Mate Love

If you are still romantically connected to someone who is not a soul mate, it’s important to discern when one particular relationship has run its course. Most of us know, but sometimes it is hard to let go. It is difficult to let go of a relationship that offers companionship, sex, fun, or financial security. But when you want a true soul mate, holding on to a relationship that only imitates love keeps us from the very thing we say we desire.

How to Start: Don’t try to replace lost love; grieve for the relationship that you must leave. Give yourself some time before you search for another love. This is key for some of us who tends to jump from relationship to relationship. You will know when it is time to open to love again.

Appreciate the Path You’ve Traveled

Even the difficult aspects of romantic evolution can be considered “time served” in preparation for true love. Many of us get our best training in relationship boot camp. We may beat ourselves up for bad marriages, relationships, and dates--any time that seems wasted on Ms. or Mr. Wrong--but in truth, they are an important, instructive part of the journey. The grand awakening to what soul mate love is comes by discovering firsthand what it is not.

How to Start: Appreciate the relationships that have taught you what you don’t want. Honor those loves. Express gratitude for the lessons you have learned, even the toughest ones. Send a spiritual message to your old flame’s angels saying, “I thank you, I bless you, I release you.”

Clean Your House for Love

As you work hard to clean out your emotional and spiritual House of Love, also clean out your physical house to make room for love. Be honest and begin the process of peeling old love stuff away. Still have a photo on the mantel of you and your high school sweetheart? Are you still sleeping on the same bed you shared with an ex? Do you lounge around the house in an ex’s old shirt? Be gone with them.

How to Start: Clean out closets, drawers, and rooms to begin to physically release things. Toss out old stuff that depletes your energy and keeps you stuck in the past. Liberate yourself from the past by cleaning out one drawer at a time, until you work your way through the pain of divorce and abandonment, the ones that got away, and the ones who left you disappointed in love.

Develop the Capacity to Identify True Love

By the time your soul mate stands before you, eyes searching into your own, heart connected to yours, you will have both done quite a lot of personal and spiritual development work. At any age, we need to work on developing the capacity and maturity to distinguish real love from “hope” created by fantasies you project on someone who has “potential.”

How to Start: In order to recognize true love, you have to have a sense of what love looks like: you must learn to see through your spiritual eyes. Soul connection is tangible; there really is no guessing or wondering when the real thing comes along. There is usually a telltale sign that lets you know when true love has arrived--a deep sense of knowing, a “gut feeling," or even a still, small voice in your head that says this is someone special to you.

Don’t Hate Being Single

Some people hate being single. Some of us imagine that when we finally find “the one,” that’s when we will finally start living. To the contrary, our job is to live fully… that is how your soul mate will know you. If you are traveling a fast lane of life with little time for nurturing the heart or spirit, or if you hide out in a way that isolates you from the flow of life, the window of opportunity could be delayed or missed.

How to Start: Honor the state of not yet having a mate. Enjoy your life, go out with friends, and pursue paths of self improvement. Spend time fine tuning skills, nurturing interests, and having adventures. Study, take courses, and do things that help you grow personally, spiritually, and professionally. Work on creating the life you want to be leading--even if there is no one to share it with yet--and in the process, you will create a fuller, richer, and more welcoming life.

Honor the Yearning

Many people find themselves going crazy with yearning, wishing love were by their side. We resist those feelings, and consider them awkward and sad. But the truth is, the time of longing and yearning for love is the most powerful time. It means love is so close that you can feel it...and there is a part of you recognizing that there is something missing. There is something that drives us to want to love deeply and completely, in a relationship we feel is meant to be. Could it be your soul is searching for its other half?

How to Start: Allow the yearning. Make friends with it, because it will lead you to love. In soul mate relationships, lovers meet one another halfway. Your honest yearning for your true love spiritually connects the two of you together.

Get Creative

It is important to consciously create your own soul mate reality. Use any creative tools you are comfortable with. Write, visualize, daydream, and pray your way to a great relationship. Cut out magazine pictures of couples in love, makes lists and write stories about the relationship you choose. Hollywood movies fill our psyches with images of “perfect love.” We also have the power to create our own personal movie-like narratives, love stories based on our own desires and hopes.

How to Start: Focus your energy on calling your true love to you now. For 30 days and 30 nights, take 15 minutes in the morning and 15 before bedtime to play the “movie” of the “Love of My Life” in your head and your heart. See the love you yearn for already there, and feel the good feelings of being in love. Adjust your movie and improve it every day, adding great new scenes.

Open Your Arms to Your True Love

Finding your soul mate requires more than a wish, a hope, and a dream. It often requires us to become bigger and to grow beyond certain limitations; to heal ourselves as best we can; and to be courageous, because opening the heart is not always an easy task. It asks us to be willing to receive love, which for some of us is the hardest part. It takes us on a journey that helps us grow into the kind of person who is truly ready for a real and lasting relationship. You might feel sometimes as if you are getting nowhere, or feel like giving up. Hang in there. Stay open. Love may not be far behind!

How to Start: Imagine the warmth and love in your soul mate’s embrace. Get a sense of what it would feel like to be that open, that loving, and that welcoming to another. When you go to bed at night, open your arms to your love and whisper, “I am here for you.” And when you awake in the morning, open your arms and affirm, “I am ready for you, my love.” Even in moments of doubt and fear, open your arms to love. Know that every step you take in the direction of love will bring your true love closer to you.

"In My Eyes"

She is Beautiful

She is beautiful, So very beautiful.
Just like a Winter's shining landscape.
As delicate as the petals of a daisy.
And as freely as a eagle soaring against the blue.

Her eyes are mysterious at the calm blue sea.
Everything about her is so very precious,
More precious than all the gems in the world.
Her soul is the essence of the sky and the earth.
Her feelings are a volcano that is yet to explode.
Her smile is the smile of lost innocence.

Pain vibrates deep inside of her gentle heart.
A lock shuts in the disturbed thoughts of her mind,
A mind with many roads as the world has.
I look at her and i see a pure truth,
Like looking at a clear night sky,
Millions of stars twinkle within her.

She is beauty as i defined it.
She is perfect, her imperfections make her so.
She is my best friend, and i love her,
I love her although, not because.

And i would give up all these things which i think are pretty,
If only i could hold her beauty within me,
For she is everything in my world,
And i have found a world in her.

"You're The Sweetest Thing"

~Sweetest thing i ever known~


As i walked the streets thinking of love
I stumbled across a poetry club.
I just went in to use the phone.
I saw u there all alone.
The sweetest thing i ever known.

You seemed to be nervous, as this was your first
time on the microphone.
Yet,your words were bold and strong.
me being a inspiring poet i decide to stay and listen
a little,not knowing i would fall for her like i did.

It seemed like a nice place relaxed setting,good music,
candles at the tables to set the mood and beautiful
women "obviously"so i planed to come back next weekend
hoping you would read again and so i could meet you.

So Saturday night came yearning for your name
i sat in the corner and waited for you to read.
As other poets read i see her getting her poem ready.
I could not stop staring at her 5-7 sexy frame as she
walked to the stage.Jill Scott plays low over the speaker
"lets take a long walk" But as you recite your sensual
poem my patents grows short but my heart grows fonder.
longing for your attention at the end of the night i enter
my name for next Saturdays poetry reading.
Thinking i can reach you better with my words.

Saturday night is hear,i look for you among the people
making sure i make eye contact with you while i read
so you know that i was talking to you.

As i began to read
she was "The sweetest thing i ever known"
with your caramel body tone.
You give me chills down my spine
you stimulate my mind
you give me butter flies
What are this feelings
a "Symptom unknown"
your status unknown
but your poetry
is like "Flowatree Ms."
elevating my mind to imaginative thought
knowing "I wont to go there with you"
its just "The essences of you"
that gives me "Every breath i breathe"
you know i need u in my life.
So i leave it in your hands
You take control as we talk the
night away never thinking,
I would feel "A love like this"

"Soul Connections"

From My Soul To Yours

From My Soul To Yours

Explore the worlds
From my soul to yours
Open the doors
Till you come to the sands

Lay in shades
Of the bravest waves
Let the bubbling dreams
Tickle your feet
Follow gentle smoke strands

Though I am a million miles south
We are both one breath exhaled by the sky
Open your mouth and speak me
Breathe me like a sun touched delicacy
Believe in me like a precious childhood memory

Run backwards
Through daily chores
Surrender to the adventure
From my soul to yours

If you ever start to suffer sugar
Pour the river in your coffee
Drink yourself down stream
Before you can function in reality
You must stand firm in your dreams

Tilt your edges
Like rust is your lover
Discover the beauty of yourself
Hidden in another
The journey which has searching for each other
Is only the love we are yet to uncover

"Too Late?"

when it is too late?

When is it too late, when love decides to no longer wait?
You go on for so long, not wanting to believe we belong.
For years you carry that weight, turning your back on Fate.
Perhaps I was wrong, but I still only want to sing your song.

You go on for so long, not wanting to believe we belong,
wondering what is true…when to quit….what to pursue.
Perhaps I was wrong, but I still only want to sing your song.
Hear the music calling you; what does your heart say to do?

Wondering what is true…when to quit….what to pursue...
the questions plague me, and my heart and head disagree.
Hear the music calling you; what does your heart say to do?
It’s a lonesome place to be, waiting within a silent plea.

The questions plague me, and my heart and head disagree.
Battle scarred from long ago, not sure how to let go.
It’s a lonesome place to be, waiting within a silent plea,
and before you know, you’re at the end with nothing to show.

Battled scarred from long ago, not sure how to let go. For so long you carry the weight, turning your back on Fate, and before you know, you’re at the end with nothing to show. When is it too late, when love decides to no longer wait?

"Difference Between INFATUATION and LOVE"

+,what's the difference bet.INFATUATION and LOVE+.

InfatuAtion-is ruled by feelings but love's feelings are ruled by principle.

Infatuation feelings are change.But the problem is that our feelings are frickle.They change easily.Today i feel great,so i kiss her.Tomorrow i feel terrible so i kick her.That's not LOve!

True love has feelings,tender feelings which can we put in the human heart by a caring GOD.But love is not composed by feeling only.It is feeling plus principle.

"LOVE NEVER FAILS"

iNFAtuation is in hurry but love takes time.Everything of permanent value in life takes time.We can build a shack overnight,but if we are building a house that will stand in fury of a hurricane,that takes time.We can put up the artificial christmas tree overnight,but to grow a real tree,that takes time.It has to be planted,watered and nourished for weeks,months,years,or years.

LOVE-is a plant,a tender precious plant,

Infatuation is in hurry-see her today,court her tomorrow and marry her the day after!It's "puppy love"And someone has rightly said"PUPPY LOVE leads to a dog's life!"but while this puppy love is in a hurry true love takes time--time to know and time to grow.

knowing a person takes time and there is no shortcut.

"Power Of Love"

You Were Always On My Mind

Sitting together, separately
It should not be this way
I rise quietly
Wanting to stay
Counting each hour
Counting each day

Lying by you as you sleep
In silence watching as you breathe
I rise quietly
While you lay
Counting each hour
Counting each day

Feeling your love slip away
I cannot find the words to say
I rise quietly
Moving away
Counting each hour
Counting each day

Time has passed too quickly
Without telling you how I feel
Things I should have done
To let you know
My love was real

"Wild Emotions"

A Passion Never Forgotten

relax, sit down & take this journey with me
imagine all those things your eyes burn 2 see

the reasons why ur heart rapidly beats strong
the gases & fumes ur lungs depend on

textures ur fingers need to caress & explore
only those flavor ur palate forever longs for

the memories that make butterflies in ur gut shiver
all the erotic actions that make ur lips quiver

how great it is to see these images circles in ur mind
intense desire & emotions make all my senses blind

amazed @ at the eruption of this volcanic collage
for some moments, again, I am within this mirage

together sharing it all, filled with ur every emotion
an open house to the secret equations to ur love potion

happily knowing I am special & I deserved to see
but I have a slight problem.... In this, I can't find me

confusingly searching, knowing I had to be there
everything I see, described me & the times we shared

this trip was so similar to the one in my mind
I was never what u really desired is what I begin to find

I see u got the only thing u wanted with lies & slime
pretending I was the one u needed, that should be a crime

sweet talk, patience & gentleness all hid ur grime
I was to be the map of this journey, what waste of time
