Love is meant to be holy
My gaze upon my lover
is meant to be without distraction
My longing to my lover
is meant to be unquenchable
Each moment with my lover
to never want an end
Every touch of my beloved
to stir me up within
How many have forgotten
the thought-consuming state
that sets a mind apart
and every thought becomes
the face of that one, the hand
their sound, their smell?
This love is that which sets apart
and fixes life upon another
consumes every moment and motivation
and after too long we ask -
How do I look to God?
How can I learn
to see this way?
and really -
Who can teach me to love?
When you find the perfect lover
you can start understanding love
In ourselves, we have only the beginnings
until by relationship we learn
from demonstration
God is the perfect lover
and I cannot tell you how to love
for I am still learning
I can tell you what I know
but really truly you must know Him
Relationship is how you love
How you learn
The key to relationship is time and choice
Choose to spend time with God's things
choose to find the good in the things that are hard
and bear the promises close to your heart
and the truth that you are witness to
as their support and strength
And when you dwell in the things of God
you will find at one moment
you are gazing at His face
The things begin to pale
for the Presence of God is real
Then you will find His love and truth
cannot be severed from you
and each moment will be consumed by Him
each thought will possess
His haunting in your mind
You will have begun to love
You will have begun to live
