Notes About The Poem

Agape Love

I’ve been hard and I’ve been soft
My heart has known love
And my heart has known disgust
I’ve been strong and I’ve been weak
My heart has known hope
And my heart has known despair
I’ve been warm and I’ve been cold
My heart has known passion
And my heart has known apathy

From the center of my heart
Where only God can see or know
There lives a woman who loves
Beyond her yearning dreams, completely

I’ve been happy and I’ve been sad
My heart has known pleasure
And my heart has known sorrow
I’ve been spontaneous and I’ve been withdrawn
My heart has known freedom
And my heart has known inhibition
I’ve been thankful and I’ve been ungrateful
My heart has known appreciation
And my heart has known ingratitude

From the depths of my heart
There love lives and opens the door
To faith that fills my life with inspiration
For feelings that create true satisfaction

I’ve been confident and I’ve been insecure
My heart has known positive assurance
And my heart has known apprehension
I’ve been a silent light and I’ve been noisy
My heart has known soundless joy
And my heart has known thunderous grief
I’ve been concerned and I’ve been untroubled
My heart has known reflective worry
And my heart has known how to be carefree

From the depths of my heart
There love arouses my hope to know
Kindness that prays and praises the One
Who makes my heart full beyond thought

From the depths of my heart
Where kindness awakens my best
Thrilling tones and hues of warmth
Awaken my affection of Deity, God

The ruler of my life, the One who knows
The depths of my heart and soul
And who gives me the opportunity to listen
To the whisper of His breath in my love

From my heart… I know hope
From my heart… I know faith
From my heart… I know grace
From my heart… I know love
From my heart… I know Him

The One who answers from above
With the strongest and sweetest agape Love!

Victor Buhagiar December 21, 2020 at 5:12 AM Who has not experienced ups and downs? I walked the path of love and torture like you. But one day I discovered that besides all I needed prayer as you said with thankfulness and prayers. Now I remind myself that I need prayer everyday. ~~

Vijay Pandit December 21, 2020 at 4:43 AM Amazing how you can create such meaningful verses almost effortlessly--a gift you have of poetic expression, Gina. Assonance of your poem resonates from every word and the juxtaposition of emotions enhances its rhythm throughout. I am saving this gem in my FAVES.
