Expressing Love

2010 is well underway! Nearly half way through January, I am crazy-busy at work and burning the candle at both ends. As such, I made the terrible mistake of having coffee late in my day today...argh! So, here I am exhausted, yet my mind does not turn off. So many things running through my mind...and he is always there in my waking and sleeping thoughts. During this late night / early morning hour, despite the 1500 miles, I think and feel him.

As a result, here is my post intended to help me express my thoughts and emotions while encouraging me to rest my weary eyes and body, no matter the state of my love sick heart and mind. I am thankful for the experiences to exude such love for a man that he can regularly inspire me to effortlessly and therapeutically put personal words to paper/email/blog/etc.

Wishing all readers peace and love (including romance) in 2010!

Take Heed to Love

I err on the side of telling you “I love you,” every chance I get;

Not because I don’t think you know, or you’ll forget.

I do it because nothing in life is promised or guaranteed.

I want you to know I don’t take you for granted; I take heed.

The repetitive phrase is not said to desensitize

Rather, to be abundantly clear and crystallize.

With so many miles between us each day

How sweet, simple, and easy to say…

Simplicity is due to the pure state of heart

Loving you is actionable, near or apart.

Yes, actions may speak louder than words

I give flight to my words like a flock of migrating birds –

Soaring, floating, with no boundaries to confine

Only distance and miles, waiting for a sign.

The natural signal that we fly in one unified direction together

Because we are gracefully in sync all seasons, all weather.

I love you when there are blue skies and sun;

And when there are no budding flowers and blue skies are none;

When the skies are so gray, no shadows, the clouds filter and hide all;

When the temperature is bitterly cold, life is barren after the harvest of Fall.

No matter the circumstance or the season,

When I tell you "I love you” there is a mindful reason…

I err on the side of telling you “I love you,” every chance I get;

Not because I don’t think you know, or you’ll forget.

I do it because nothing in life is promised or guaranteed.

I want you to know I don’t take you for granted; I take heed.
