Best Philia Poems
Fresh...novel - ingenuous in this nifty world of poetry
The congregation of well-versed and eloquent poets
Reflexion occupied and inhabited within your bosom
Comments - indited and penned by your hand,
Enunciated and explicated by your psyche
Behind of what is envisioned and construed
Philia augmented and fruited
Yielding the sweets in acquaintanceship
Not just co-writers
Not just gurus and advisers who meliorates and nurtures me
Competent as it can be
But buddies and intimates who're TIED UP
Great sophisticated poet - Nette
Words of heart so new -Nikko
Unbars the door of wisdom - Dr. Ram
Now,we've educed this bind - never loose...

Amazing Agape
The immaculate Father Almighty
Soul redeemer, merciful and mighty
Wear His yoke upon you of humble heart
How to live, to love it's a magic art.
Do not touch what is unclean says the Lord
Turn darkness to light with righteous accord
Believers are sons and daughters out there
God will receive into His holy care.
With clean hands and a heart that's truly pure
We'll stand in amazing agape for sure
Ascend the mountain of heavenly grace
Search with birds eye view earths beauteous place.
All things wonderful are work of God's hand
Could anything be as grand as His land
All people on this wondrous earth that dwell
Care for all that the Lord Himself made swell.
A guiding light shining out there in space
Embrace amazing agape with fine grace.
14th May 2021
Footnote . . .
In Scripture, the transcendent agape love is the highest form of love and is contrasted with eros, or erotic love, and philia, or brotherly love.

I'm wave-surfing on the crest of the waves of love,
Philautia, philia, agape, storge, pragma,
Above all, the divine love that comes from above,
Which blazes me, with a warmth, warmer than magma...!
On one side I feel cool calmness caress within,
On the other side, I come across with power,
Am I changed? Am I, like a fish, breathing with fin?
A vigor and mighty force, on me, does shower...!
A magnetic vigor pulls me from all around,
It's, indeed, a heavenly celestial feeling,
Have I, in a magical middle world, got drowned?
In me is going on restorative healing...!
I am out from the waves; the energy, yet, rules,
Earthly and heavenly dynamism ever pools...!!!

there are so many different kinds of LOVE
but Agape ... is the highest
there is Familial, Eros, and Philia_
and there is healing "Agape"
in forgiving and kindness
to all who have hurt us ...
~ in my HEART I will only hold serenity
and in my soul will dwell COURAGE to follow my path
and only tranquility will leave my lips ~
I hear the WHISPERING ... of the Lord
he tells me to have faith
and hope and to live in grace
to keep peace within me always
and to seek to do the right thing
for the Lord is Agape ...
~ it is vast and infinite and eternal
filling me with INSPIRATION and fathomless strength
and in PRAYERS I ask for the Lords blessing ~
REFLECTING on my life thus far
I hold close my Familial ... my FAMILY
and though they dwell above now- they are with me
oh, I have known Eros romance and lust
I have been PASSIONATE and been desired
and been blessed with Philia ... friendships unconditional
and in the Lord found my HOME...
~ the Agape within in me is limitless and pure
I welcome the lost and help with kindness the found
I listen and respect with selfless caring ~
but, I have one question Lord
the unconditional feelings I hold for each pet I have had
and the way they accept me with no rules or reason
is this your divine Agape ?

Storge:
It’s hard living with a broken heart,
fortunately for me, my heart resuscitated with your breath of life.
Giving me what my heart was missing,
you revitalised love, granting the type of support needed to survive.
Philia:
Never mistaken or misconstrued,
you are both honest and open in equal measure.
Craving no friendship other than ours,
we share a bond deeper than any ocean treasure.
Eros:
When laying in the sheets,
I stare at you and find it difficult to speak.
feeling intense passion,
made perfect by our serene marriage at twin peaks.
Agape:
Realising I am living destiny,
no longer shall my inspiration ever starve.
With a smile that overcomes everything,
I am complete; cherishing our forever love.

Now, Drink My Dear
I saw the answer in your eyes.
Before the question was asked.
Deepest hurt, pooled in your eyes.
And streamed down your face in tears.
The silence was deafening.
How could Life be so inextricable?
Two hearts in fragments with no aforethought as to this very moment.
Was this a punishment for the joining of two bodies in love?
A love sworn to be agape, or philia?
Our love that imprudently flamed into beastly desires.
A love that pelted us to depths that left us no oxygen to inhale.
Not one in this world could sustain the perils that two have fought.
And now death knell is eminent to our love.
One last kiss, which melts away all fears.
Now, drink my dear.

Ever since the times of enlightenment obfuscating harmonious balance
Romantic love has taken a back seat in the absurd theatre of minds
My light my mind my empathy bonds and my unconditional passion
have been shrouded in darkness have tainted romance and creation
Empiricism from the age of so called reason certainly towers over
inclinations and feelings burrows deeply and undermines emotions
Ever since Freud investigated libido and death wish attempted to
establish a science from Id’s superb battle with Ego and Oedipus
separated phallus and **** retention from sucking up oral tradition
we have been seduced by scientific dogma and lust for the vice of logic
Like Mephistopheles debating a Faustian pact with layers of devil
we pay tribute to Descartes who doubted his incredulous doubts
The clever guys investigate Philia measure orgasms and pleasure
take delight in quantifying empathy bonds hail to measurability
In perverse contradictions to faith and belief even Agape has been turned
and tossed over on spread sheets excelling in proof beyond reasonable qualms
Call me ancient and backward and taint me with the label of idealism
pour tar over my feathers hang me quarter me and try to remove my heart
Yet here it stands tall in celebration and without schism of ambivalence
transcends into every aspect of life and peace loving kindness’ compassion
Let me call it romance and pure love apart from sex and carnal desires and
let it be known that those amorous French guys in vernacular fashion
defined it as 'verse narrative' alluded to stories from creative excitement
I love you my lover and friendships adore my children like to be playful
seek kind connections and empathy do not discount altruism as a ruse
But I have this relationship with books emerge from ex libri in fancy and art
They are friends dear to my soul they talk to me evoke the whole palette
of stretching my life on a canvass of marvellous beauty and fascination
and when I engage with words and with pages they start to listen to my love
Charted performance has little place in my essence whereas reading enchants me envelops and embraces my spirits makes me whole and can’t tear me apart

INTENTIONAL TRUE LOVE
True intentional love can only be scripted as below
Philia” affectionately I Love. My brother...true intention
“Storge” familiar I Love. ...I remember
Playful Love. ...“Ludus” no I'm not kidding
“Mania” obsessive I Love. ...gotta have it bidding
“Pragma” enduring Love. ...ever so lasting
Self Love. ...“Philautia” just shy of conceited-selfish
“Agape” selfless Love, Agape—unconditional "God" love bless
Storge—empathy bond let me embrace you retentions
Philia—friend bond allow me to be friendly, true intention
“Eros” or Erotic Love. The first kind of love is Eros,
I know what love truly is and all those true perceptions
Just mention by the words above love a verb, true intentions
And if you don't believe it
This what true intentional love is
Yes, this intentional true love

"When I say, “ I Got U”
What this really means to you from me
I will always be a friend beyond the ends of time right past eternity
I will “always Pray aloud and quietly first about you unto God
Daily blessings always release blessings to you first, you family and friends
Daily blessings Holy Godly saving of all those whom may not be
I feel you I understand Praying did I say Praying for you longevity of life on this Earth
I got you not in monies nor in material things
I got U in what ever God says that’s in His will
I got your spiritual back
I got you to make you smile
And laugh I got U in the quiet of your heart
I got you even though I not that
I got you in trust
I got U in Jesus
I got your back always in prayer first I feel you understand
I’m not an ordinary
I’m here for you
I cover U in prayer
I understand I won’t knowingly try to handle you

So glad for the Holy Royal Friendship
A spiritual responsibility
I’m here for you
I thank you

and I see you in Agape — Unconditional Love
Philia — Affectionate Love
Philautia — Self-love
Storge — Familiar Love
Pragma — Enduring Love
Ludus — Playful Love may God bless you evermore
I GOT YOU"

Dramatic Monologue
I was lost looking into your eyes,
I lose words when I'm talking to you,
It feels like wandering in a Jasmine field when I'm with you,
I've realised that poems are catalysts for our love,
There is a philia between us,
Which you don't see yet,
But,
Oh darling, don't worry I'll never give up on you.

-WE SHOULD ALL BE- -Dear Hearts--
Jesus says I should love my brother, brothers;
And does this include also my sister, sisters;
For if we love one another;
There would be nothing left..
But
Love
An affectionate sobriquet for the one, the ones;
Whom you would wish upon no hurts, nor any harm;
A fellow human being, what is really at stake?
They to do want to see like you the golden-gates (of)…
Jesus says I should love my brother, brothers;
And does this include also my sister, sisters;
For if we love one another;
There would be nothing left..
But
Love, love
We should all be, be dear hearts…
Oh! That, which has woken up your hearts;
Dear hearts, dear hearts;
And dispelled your misgivings about, about;
Dear, dear, dear hearts, Dear Hearts
The sinful world at large;
Everyone wants to hate and not to love;
Philia-friend, Philia friend bond philia the love between friends (this is what it should be)
Philia-friend, Philia friend bond as closer, closer than siblings in strength and duration;
A friendship stronger bond existing between all nations;
People who share common values, interests;
All this and more God insists;
Differentiates friendship love from the other loves;
Dear heart means an endearment,
Dear hearts means endearment;
For how can you love the Father, and the Son?
When you don’t love the fellow man;
To a friend when talking to him, show them a sign that you care;
And that you love them Philially;
The greatest term of affection known to mankind;
It is God’s will, that you be instilled a Dear heart;
It is God’s will, that we are all instilled as Dear Hearts

My Love How Do I Love You--
Just what is love, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you drool, sting and fly,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the blue deny.
Let me compare you to a philia tune?
You are more eros, agape and pragma.
Light sun heats the ludus peaches of June,
And summertime has the gentle magma.
Now do I love you? Why Let me site ways.
I love your personality and arms;
Thinking of your mental smile fills my days;
My love for you is the judgment farms;
Now I must away with a gaping heart;
Remember my soft words whilst we're apart;
My storage love, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you drool, sting and fly,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the butterfly.
Let me compare you to a blue buffoon?
You are more philia, eros and gentle.
Light sun heats the agape peaches of June,
And summertime has the supplemental.
How do I love you? let me insight the ways.
I love your arms and personality.
Thinking of your ludus smile fills my days.
My love for you is the tonality.
Now I must away with a pragma heart,
Remember my soft words whilst we're apart.

Or silently
This I am saying to you…
I LOVE YOU
This I do,
Because Jesus does
And God also loves you

For you took the time for me;
And I love you because you’re made in His image
For I love you because you are my brother, my sister

A loud
Or silently
This I am saying to you…

My love for you not a ludus kind a playful love
My love for you not philautia a love for myself
My love for you it’s not storge kind you’re not my child
I love you philia in a brotherly way of the mind
Just as God and Jesus says
I love you agape why!! Cause I love you to and for your soul
I love you and thank God for you being created being born
If you’re reading this,

Or silently
This I am saying to you…
I LOVE YOU
Hallelujah
AMEN
I LOVE YOU
