Contemplation,

Love is:

Hanging tightly by a single thread of belief,

enriched merely by the endless faith of another.

Sobering thoughts of realization, enjoined by the union

of your intrinsic gifts freely bestowed unto to them.

For in the gifting, your higher self relishes in the

total fellowship of you and your mated soul.

Daily dying to self, crucifying your singularity,

so that you may dwell in unity, perfecting harmony.

For only within the release of self glorification,

can another’s affections brighten your inner landscape.

Thereby strengthening you once more, enabling

self to shine throughout as you hike through your dominion.

Freeing oneself to give cumulatively, once more able to

forfeit with the dawning of another day, your consummate

affinity.

Genuineness of affection allows one to stand

upon the battlefield of life in another’s stead.

Filling the gap, preventing harm from befalling

the treasured soul, even if the sacrifice is unrequited.

Generosity of emotion, bleaches out the doubts, erasing

fear in time, allowing one to walk away the victor in love.

Quotes from Aisades,

Windmills of Thought

For Felicia,

An enigma,

............., a mystery.

......................, a paradox,

the human heart.

Windmills of thought

revolving endlessly,

with the passage of time.

Within emotions cascading,

an array of chaotic life.

Yet you lay there so easily.

Inside this puzzle,

you provide a framework,

completing life's picture.

An enigma,

............., a mystery.

......................., a paradox,

my human heart.

An Equation Of Love

It is only in the equations of love that any logic or reason can be found For where the heart, the soul and mind are at unity, creativity is at it's best. Thoughts come quicker, with new depth. Words flow easier, their riches unmatched. Works of art, move from conception to birth, gaining life. Standing the test of time, if only for those who inspired them. Prose moves in poetic currents, unhindered by obstacle. Lines taking on a life of their own, reflecting emotions. Creating wonders daily, trying to encapsulate someone's beauty. Capturing a moment within a mind, yet failing to do justice to it. A calling, to be better then you were, even at your best. Applying yourself, with greater energy, a zest for newness. A voice, piercing to the core, of one's being like a vampire's bite. Changing you completely, eternally, from the inside out. Knowing that for the remainder of life, no other struggle will move you so. No other joy, will taste as sweet to the senses, contained therein. To find inspiration, to have life breathed into you anew. Realizing, you are but an infintisimal part of a greater wonder. Subtling finding peace, as you take your place in the creative process. Love dawning, upon you, where only before emptiness existed. Yes, I believe.......No, I Know......... It is only within the equations of love, that any logic or reason can be found.
