This Love
At last I admit it
I do love you!
So long I would not entertain it
Believing such thing improper
As both are married
To another we love deeply
Two hearts committed to us long ere we met
Sworn true and faithful
Convinced I had no right
I denied my hearts stirring
Chastising myself daily
Such thoughts attributed to the folly of lust
Yet my heart would not concede
In fact he responded with vigor
Unabashedly taking to task to my shallow view of love
Until at last I acquiesced to truth
~~~~~ He said ~~~~~
“ How can it be that love”
“ As beautiful and majestic as it is”
“ Can still be so misunderstood”
“So misunderstood by a poet as you ”
“ Is love in and of itself “
“ Anything dastardly or evil “?
“ Why must love be threatening”?
“ Or anything other than a cherished blessing”?
“ Love is not wrong”
“ To be in love with another is not wrong”
“ True love is not the quenching of selfish thirst”
“ Nor the placing ones own desires first”
“ True love is seeking another’s good”
“Doing what’s right in spite of own desires ”
“ Sacrifice, compassion, encouragement, joy”
“Softly urging and tenderly caressing anothers heart”
“ Yes you do love her”
“ For it is impossible not to”
“ For her precious and gracious heart”
“ Has become a radiant light in this darkened world”
“ There need not be trespasses or offence”
“Only encouragement and inspiration “
“ Befitting the integrity and purity of love”
“ As God intended love to be”
