Way of love

Life offers many a twist and turn. 
And bridges that we sometimes have to burn. 
But all along my way. 
I found a constant that would stay. 

(In life, we all encounter obstacles or hindrances to move smoothly. Life is like a bridge of friendship, a connectivity of love and understanding)

I had always yearned for a love that was true. 
That is until the day I met you.  
You came into my life when I was low. 
An mended a beaten soul. 

( Love is expressed as an action and experienced as a feeling. Yet, love has an essence that resists defining in any single way — it encompasses compassion, determination, tolerance, endurance, support, faith, and much more. )

Even from across the ocean so wide. 
Love concord the divide. 
A half a world away. 
Love found a way.  

( If you're in the dark about how to love, then Holy Bible is an ideal source to give you some food for thought, and perhaps teach you a little bit about how to love yourself, love the world, and love other people just a little bit more.)

With a generation apart. 
Somehow love connected the heart. 
And seen us through our darkest day. 
This is loves way. 

(Loving people means believing in their potential and trusting them. This is applicable between husband and wife, between  lovers, friends, relatives etc. )

Today I await your touch. 
The peace I've yearned for so much. 
The whisper of your name. 
Kept this lonely man sane. 

( Beautiful poetic expression. Loving someone means always having space for what they want to talk to you about )

You see I never thought. 
That one day I would be caught. 
But the bug found me. 
And I realized it also set me free. 

(Loving the people in your life means celebrating their successes and cheering them on. When they are in difficulties whatsoever, help them out by all means and ways)

A soul was never meant to be alone. 
Carting the pain until life has gone. 
We are to be together today.  
Holding each other in a loving sway.  

( Loving souls are always together. They are not lonely either)

When your plane lands on the tarmac. 
We will hold each other and never look back. 
And upon a bended knee.  
The world shall now see. 

( The remains of the plane lay scattered across the ground, twisted sections spread around like a puzzle, our life too is like that. Never ever allow to have a crash. Take precautions prior to your take-off )

That love concours all. 
When we answer it's call. 
Now for my bride to be.
Smiles that the whole of the world will see. 

( Another myth about love is that if you love someone, you do what they are asking you to do, out of love, even if it feels difficult. This is a lesson we all have to learn in life)

• READ BETWEEN THE LINES

____________________________________

The prime and most important factor in a love relationship is common life goals. If the relationship is going to be long term, we need to be going in the same general direction as the other person. A true love is not for sex. Whenever two people hook up in any culture, they have to respect each others entity or belief.  This is where true love face more complicated issues. Sex is created for marriage–a long-lasting commitment between couples. Outside of marriage, sex can have harsh consequences. A relationship based on lust can only last as long as the two are physically close and find each other sexually attractive. The Holy Bible says that God is love. God, as our designer and architect, made us with needs for love. Do you ever wonder why we constantly seek love from others but never feel completely satisfied? It’s because God designed us for an unconditional love.

I wish to congratulate Poet Patrick Epperson for sharing a wonderful poem with COSMOFUNNEL viewers. I wish you good luck in your future writings.
