AN ANGEL CARED

Maddening, swirling, tumultuous thoughts give my heart no peace

Muscles tensing, heart's wrenching, longing for release

Walled off from emotions, numbed to dreams of bliss

Frantically grasping for a hold, sliding further into the abyss

All color drains from my world, subtle shades of gray permeate

Broken shards cast illusions, hope falsely propagates

A former warrior, battle tested, I frantically disguise my fears

Resolve dissolves, nervousness abounds as my refuge disappears

As rain cycle nears an end, the winter begins to advance

Stealthily attacking, patiently awaiting for a perfect chance

A frozen heart, desolate and bare, obscures all that would try to see

The warmth reflected, gives off no heat, illusions mask reality

On hands and knees, mumbling pleas, I search for sanctuary

To glimpse beyond this desolation, to a world of possibility

Eyes closed, perceptions peeked, it hovers beyond my reach

A whispered supplication, alone, these barriers I cannot breach

A gentle touch, delicate and warm, I feel her reach for me

Chasing back the shadows, an angel, cradles my sanity

Relaxing, drifting, smiling, I find comfort in her embrace

My savior and redeemer, a sassy smile upon her face

I close my eyes and search within, I'll trust my instincts this time

I feel a heart of gold as her passion's unfold, a beauty so sublime

Peace radiates from her body, a warmth soaks into my soul

A smile reflects a love so deep, my heart I cannot control

Illusions shimmer and are gone, my world is bright and true

Spring marches forth with determination as my life begins anew

To pass beyond is what I sought, but dreams do not compare

To the reality of this wonderland graced by an angel so fair

Dreams shared, rendezvous dared, we joined together as one

The bonds of my enslavement have been lifted, my battle finally won

No regrets can be found, my reflections bring no remorse

Love that binds, as the tendrils climbed lead me down this course

Peace and comfort fill my soul where once only chaos dared

Now love emanates, peace radiates, because an angel cared

LOVE AND SACRIFICE

No matter how long you may live, you’ll never stop learning. Every minute of every day brings new opportunities to learn something we’ve never known before. As long as we’re open to receive, God will continue to teach us every day.

I’m still learning, and I know I always will be. What God teaches me every day about love continues to change my life. I’ve come to the place where I can honestly say, “Lord, eliminate everything in my life that’s holding me back. Please take away anything that’s keeping me from walking in love and finding true fulfillment in my life.” In other words, “Lord, reduce me to love—bring me to a state or condition of walking in love completely!”

One of the most important facets I’ve learned about love is unselfishness, which is characterized in the Holy Bible as a willingness to sacrifice one’s own wishes for those of others. I’ve learned that true love will always adapt and adjust to the needs and desires of other people.

It’s impossible for people who’ve truly been reduced to love to be selfish. God has taught them how to be totally adaptable and adjustable to others. Selfish people, on the other hand, have hard hearts. It’s very difficult for them to learn anything—especially if it involves self-sacrifice. They expect everyone else to adjust to them and their needs. They simply don’t know how to adjust to others without becoming angry or upset.

Learning to adapt and adjust to the needs and desires of others was very difficult for me. To be honest, I wanted my way, and I got upset when I didn’t get it. I was selfish! I wanted what I wanted, when I wanted it! I couldn’t stand having to wait on someone else or bending my own wishes to accommodate someone else’s timetable.

But God began to soften my heart, and gradually I learned to see the needs of others. Then God gave me compassion—the heartfelt desire to meet the needs of others first before my own.

Slowly, I became committed to walking in love. I learned to adapt my own needs and desires in order to help meet the needs of others. I learned how to show love in different ways to different people. Not all people need the same thing from us. One of our dear ones, for example, may need more of our personal time than the others. One of our friends may need more encouragement on a regular basis than another.

For example, all of my family members need me, my parents need me, my friends need me—and they all need me in different ways.

Do I ever feel too needed? Of course! We all feel overwhelmed from time to time. But I remind myself that God gives me grace for whatever He places in my life.

If I ever get weary of always trying to be available to meet the needs of others, I remind myself of all the years I lived in selfishness and how unhappy I was. Now I’m just making up for lost time! When I think on this, it doesn’t take long for me to adjust my attitude. After all, just telling people “I love you” is not enough. We need to go beyond the words and actually do something to help meet their needs.

I never acknowledged the many ways in which Ranu adjusted to my needs. I never saw what she did do—only what she didn’t—and it was ruining our relationship. I’m glad that I’ve learned to adapt and adjust.

Once you’ve been reduced to love, you’ll have no trouble establishing and maintaining good, healthy relationships with others. Your primary goal in life will be to put the wishes of others before your own. You’ll learn that true love is all about sacrifice and selfishness will be a thing of the past.

ADDICTED TO PAIN

Emotional pain can become an addiction. A negative feeling, such as anger, worry, grief, fear, or depression, can become so habitual that you cannot live without it.

When a person is continuously stressed by emotional pain, there are subtle changes in the body that create a dependency on stress-related chemistry. Changing habitual patterns of pain can be as difficult as giving up an addictive substance, such as nicotine, alcohol, or even heroin.
The emotional pain addict unconsciously seeks out situations that are sure to result in pain. A history of prolonged, negative, stressful relationships is usually symptomatic of emotional pain addiction. The feelings of love and pain are so frequently associated that they become one and the same. Loving unavailable people and staying in intolerable relationships, for example, are signs that love and pain have become intertwined. There are many such pain-linked feelings in the repertoire of pain addiction.

Ever wonder why you feel pain in your chest when your feelings have been hurt? Terms like “heartache” and “gut wrenching” are not just metaphors — they describe both physical and emotional pain.

What are emotions? Emotions are energy that we feel in our bodies as physical sensations. We may feel the energy of anger an tightness in our chest or jaw. We may feel the energy of fear as tension in our stomach or jitteriness in our whole body. We may feel the energy of love as a fullness in our heart and the energy of peace as a full quiet feeling in our gut. Each of us feels our emotions differently, and each of us has learned to put names to the various physical sensations that are caused by the energy of our emotional state.

When I tell people that they need to be willing to feel their emotional pain, they often say to me, "What's the big deal about that? I feel my pain all the time." But there is a world of difference between feeling pain and having the willingness to feel it in order to learn from it. Willingness includes the capacity to stay with the painful emotion, explore it, own it. There is no healing in just feeling and expressing your emotional pain. You can cry and rage forever, but if you are not willing to take responsibility for your pain, you will be stuck with it forever.

Sometimes people respond with, "Why? Why feel my pain? What's the point?" They believe that feeling emotional pain—especially the pain of loss—is a waste of time. "Why cry over spilled milk?" they argue. "Why can't we just try to find our joy and skip the pain?" The answer is: because joy and pain are in the same box. When you put a lid on your pain and stuff it back inside, you put a lid on your joy. You choose to live an emotionally stunted life. You also close your ears to the information that pain brings you.

Pain is how your Inner Child lets you know that you are behaving in ways that are not in your highest good. Emotional pain tells you to stop doing the thing that is causing you pain. If you do not pay attention to your emotional pain, you will go on thinking and acting in ways that cause you pain.

Do I have to give myself up, to be loved by God? May be Yes...

God bless n Allah hafiz,

TRUE LOVE

LOVE is not a feeling. Love is an action. Love is a choice.
True Love is the action to choose unconditionally in the process of offering to another human being the qualities of:
Affection, Care, Concern, Respect, Thoughtfulness, Forgiveness, Compassion, Trust, Joy and many other positive emotional expressions of value and worth toward ANY living being as being Loveable and valuable.

Love is just love. Love is not trading of emotions, it cant be compared to a savings bank account where u deposit emotions n withdraw care. Love is pure , its impulsive , its unbreakable , it cant be compared to a broken string because love cannot be broken it can only be paused for a while.

When you see each other and have a smile on your face, when your loved one makes a mistake and you can't get angry on him even when you try hard. When you think of spending every possible time with your loved one.
This is true love

"True love" can and will differ from person to person based on emotional maturity. To know true love you not only must love in such a way that you would give your own life at the drop of a hat to save him/her. If you get married to someone, and fifteen years later, you can still look them in the eye and feel the same you did on your first date, then it's true love. Like the below quote; a good way to know true love is to base it on how you feel for the last person you love romantically in your life.


I get choked up telling her how much I care about her.
- I feel pain every time she hurts.
- every couple I see reminds me of her.
- everything I want to do I want to do with her.
- I have a craving for something I crave it with with her.
- it still excites me when she calls.
- telling each other we love each other means more each time.
- I know that I love her more now than I did yesterday.
- I can be my absolute self with her and she can do the same.
- her beauty in my eyes never fades.
- we can disagree and still compromise with each other.

True love: is hard to find and painful to lose,
-can be the best thing that happens to you or the worst,
- can drive you crazy or keep you sane,
-can destroy lives or save them,
-can stop wars or start them,
-can clarify or confuse,
-pushes and pulls people away,
-obvious and subliminal, is impossible to define

-When one is aware of shortcomings of the partner and yet accepts.
-When the ego does not come in between in differences and one would rather clear the air, or apologise and patch up, than break-up.
-When one 'desires' the partner in his/her life.
-When you 'chose' to be with him/ her inspite of other options - not bec there are no options !
When you give each other space and respect individuality.
-When you enjoy togetherness - talking or even silence - and tender touching.
-When you cant even think of hurting or insult the partners feeling.
-You never wish him/ her ill and would never harm in any way.
This is true love.

Like true love the topic is also 'endless'.

The love that brings a woman a man together is known as the third level of love. This level is among the strongest of them all.This kind of love has brought together families that have argued for years and years, such as in the Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet. Even though the two mentioned made a big mistake in the end, it still brought their families together.

The phrase, love makes the world go round is very true. It's is our driving force, is gives us the necessary power to survive in this world that for many has no meaning for what ever reason it may be. Poems, plays, and legends can only briefly touch the true meaning of love. We can only feel what that meaning is, and express it in ways only we can understand towards another. Its the "language of the world" which makes it possible for the women and men to bond together in a relationship, or marriage. The language of the world is know by everybody no matter what part of the world they are coming from. If you look a woman in the eye and she looks back at you in that special way that cant be explained there is no need for words. No need for translation. Love does not need words to be explained. The true question we should be asking is not, what is life, but what is love?

-Love is patient,
- love is kind.
-Love does not envy,
-Love does not boast,
-Love is not proud.
-Love is not rude,
-Love is not self-seeking,
-Love is not easily angered,
-Love keeps no record of wrongs.
-Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
-Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

This is true love....it never comes to an end...True love is being with each other always and forever till the end of days

MY HEART CRIES BUT YOU DONT HEAR IT...

My heart cries, but you don’t hear it.
My heart breaks, but you don’t feel it.
My body longs to feel your arms around me.
My lips long to feel your kisses.
My ears long to hear you say I love you.
My eyes long to see your smile and eyes twinkle.
My life longs to have you in it.
My world longs to have you make it complete.
My body longs to feel you lie next to it.
My love longs to have you return it.
My heart will cry, my heart will break.
My body will go limp, my lips will only speak.
My ears will miss your words, my eyes will shed tears.
My life will be so lonely, my world will be so empty.
My love will go unreturned.
My heart aches as my life is turned inside out.
My mind will never forget, my heart will never let go.
I have loved you since the day I met you
But now my heart cries, and you don’t hear

God bless and allah hafiz,

WHEN I THINK OF YOU...

When I think of you ,
so many thoughts run through my mind .
When I don't hear from you ,
so many concerns tear at me .

Like a mighty waterfall , fierce and thundering a deafening roar -
spray enveloping everything around .
So I am sorrounded by you .

Like a babbling brook ,
slipping quietly over pebbles
gently flowing , gurguling .
Such is the peace you give me .

Like a gentle breeze ,
cooling a heated brow
caressing fevered skin .
So you calm my heart .

Like a summer sky ,
glimmering sun warming the earth
shining its light around .
So you warm my soul .

Like the birds in their trees ,
singing their happy songs
for all to hear .
So your voice cheers me .

Like a rose ,
petals opening to release
it's fragrance .
So your smile thrills me .

Like a precious gem ,
glowing , polished , rare
admired by all who see it .
So your eyes inspire me .

Like the summer grasses ,
waving gently in the breeze
inviting , fragrant , soft .
So your hair invites my touch .

Like a rare parchment ,
fine and smooth to touch
finely woven , a work of art .
So your skin delights me .

Like the pulse of Africa ,
ever present , powerful
a phenomenon unseen .
So your heart attracts me .

Everything you are
everything you do
each act of kindness
each look
every smile
every word
all combine to make me
love you more each day .

God bless and allah hafiz,

Avi
