Choice to Love

 

Love shared and reciprocated,

filled with hope and understanding,

euphoria that you’ve never known,

expecting not to be alone.

 

This is what we all believe

true love and destiny to be.

 

Through many lives we travel,

evolve, grow and bound to each other.

We loose, we die, we pray, we cry,

to meet again in a different time.

 

Our essence is made not of flesh

but something more profound than this.

All things now and all to come,

we’re all but lights, energy, ONE.

 

Its proven that all things alike

will find another of its kind.

Opposites could be so enticing

but hardly ever great and lasting.

 

Many think of soul mates

to be the one you wed,

yet this is hardly what you’ll find

when you two connect.

 

Energy is the force,

that drives us through our lives,

your partner merely just a tool

for you to grow with time.

 

Through your life you come across

a stranger that you ‘thought’ you’ve lost,

when all the while it is a soul

you’ve known before this life was told.

 

Our difference towards another, is what makes us true,

we compliment a weakness another may subdue.

but,

it is in our sameness that we'll be,

connected for eternity.

 

Love in the end, is a choice

something you allow to be.

So choose your love,

and love your choice

and find your own true destiny.

THIS IS A BLIND CONTEST!  PLEASE DO NOT USE MY NAME IN YOUR COMMENTS.

THANK YOU!!

 

Special note to contest holder:

 

Merely to add to this poem, I would like to share my thoughts with you regarding your inquest about Soul Mates. I believe that we rarely share a life in terms of romantic relationships with our true soul mates or get involved physically. (Not to say that this does not happen). The energy between that of a life-mate is different to that of a soul-mate. The lack of physical interaction is mostly because the interaction and connection is multi-dimensional and on an astral plane.  Soul mates travels mostly in the same soul-groups and manifest themselves in the earth plane as close friends or even stangers who at times fulfill their purpose in your life and is gone as fast as they appeared. That is why we often meet someone we feel a deep connection with and are able to share things that your life-partner might not fully understand – and that is okay.

 

The life-mate energy is different in the sense that you have chosen this individual to share your life with. This person interacts with you on the earth plane for you both to learn valuable life lessons, to mirror and reflect on goals. This partner is all about bringing to light, YOUR issues and press your buttons. Without this interaction, there will be no growth.  We may have many soul mates crossing our paths in a lifetime on earth, but only few life partners that will share our development and growth.   If however, you can provide unconditional love to anyone around and especially your partner, hmmm...you might have found your soul mate afterall!!

    Congratulations!

    This is my sort of poetry. I'm certainly no expert but this hits the right spot for me. This reads like it came straight from your heart, i guess you've found your soulmate already! Good luck for the future.

    Although I am not one to place a lot of thought into astrology, astral planes, and such...I still find both your poem and the author's notes to contain beliefs I can easily understand and agree with. I believe God also has a say in who we are attracted to, both as a "soul mate" and as a "life mate", but I don't find that to clash with what you've described here. Your poem is beautifully written...it is a quality piece with depth. It gave me much to think about, and I appreciate that more than I can say. I believe love is not only a choice, but an action...something we DO, not merely feel... But in any case, I loved the poem. Thank you once again for your entry. I would love to share and hear more of your ideas after the contest has ended.

    Best wishes,
    ~J.

      Hi, I only read your comment now, thank you so much. I am pleased that you liked it. This was a very special piece to me for some reason and also gave me the ability to convey some personal beliefs. As for our connection with God and His role in us finding the right person, absolutely, without any doubt there is always a higher power at play in our natural selection! Thank you for your lovely comment, I do appreciate it!!

    What a refreshing look on finding your soulmate, not one necessarily to wed...very thought provoking...Fate lingers in my mind...for is it not the one we are destined to be on in this physical place we call earth or is it after this...Intellectually put! awesome, worthy! Good luck! Great job!

    The title of the poem, since I believe in choice, is what made me open it. The concuding stanza didn't disappointment me. But sometimes, I feel like choosing a soul mate or not, is like choosing to breath or not. It's still a choice, I admit.

    I like the essence of connectivity and fate, if you will, as in the fate of choice. We do what we are.

    Quite a deep write that ebbs and flows like logic to feeling and back. Ah yes, the emotional intellect at work.

    A highly spiritual person you are, I bet you search the stars and seek answers from astrology also.
    I have the same beliefs, energy being our main purpose.. and life force. I knew what you meant totally before getting to the author notes...
    Ive had 'religion' knock on my door, and after explaining this kind of 'thesis', they leave thinking pretty much in a different light...lol
    Fantastically written m'dear.. I LOVE IT...

    Beautiful

    This poem truly spoke to me about soul mates, your poem had so much working for it.
    It flows, it rhymes and it works. Everything about this poem is amazing. Your word choice throughout the poem does not falter even once.
    As for the theme of the poem, the theme of soul mates, I agree with you 100%. Love is about finding similarites in that person who mirrors your soul in every way. If you truly believe this deeply in soul mates as I do I highly suggest watching the movie "What Dreams May Come" if you have never seen it.
    I love this poem and I plan on adding you to my favorites and I shall watch for more great poetry from you! Keep up the amazing and beautiful work.

    Excellent

    Your verse is lovely as usual
    I would expect no less of you

    The most amazing content here,
    is held in the perfound insite
    within your ornate and accurate
    comment.

    Most interesting is the distinction
    between a Life Mate and a Soul Mate

    The next statement is worth noting

    This partner is all about bringing to light, YOUR issues and press your buttons. Without this interaction, there will be no growth. We may have many soul mates crossing our paths in a lifetime on earth, but only few life partners that will share our development and growth.

    I am impressed by your awareness

    This is truly one very beautiful piece of poetry.
    I read your poem and your comment twice. I believe I found what I believe to be a true soul mate, in someone completely different than myself. Someone whom I shall always cherish. Someone who touched the core of my soul, not my flesh, but the deepest part of my soul. I know with all that I am that God sent this someone into my life for many reasons, all which are good.
    Again a very, very good job. Excellent, outstanding.

    Good luck in the contest ( not that you'll need it )

    This was absoulutely beautiful. It was written from the pen of a true soul seeker. I loved the flow.
    I also liked the explanation in your author notes and all that you said is so true. I do believe though, that sometimes we do find our soulmates and because of their situation in this lifetime, we cannot be life partners. It makes it hard, but it is life.
    Thank you so much for this wonderful write and good luck in the contest.
