Premium Member Aristotle The Love Guru

Imagine a message in a bottle
That gave you all the answers about love
A full picture formed by Aristotle ~~~

Eros appeals to man's carnate desires
Physical gratification thereof
When a lustful passion ignites its fires.

Philia is friendship, part of a team.
Terms of endearment include "chic" and "bruv"
Setting the standard for what teamwork means.

Storge, the kind holding deeper connection.
You hear people say they "fit hand in glove"
Creating the most lasting affection.

Ludus is playful, fun and exciting
Toy fighting, teasing and giving a shove
Learning the boundaries while you're delighting.

Mania is obsessive so beware!
This can be an unhealthy kind of love,
Abnormal behaviours behind said care.

Pragma endures, is always supportive
And such quality outshines the above
For it is there for as long as we live.

Philautia love is important too
Even acknowledged as high up as gov
It's vital for you to learn to love you!

Agape involves us all, the whole world!
By this we symbolise peace by the dove.
When we harmonise, such love is unfurled.

Touch. Service. Giving. Time. Affirmation.
Are the five languages you learn in love.
A life of love needs full dedication.

Premium Member On the Crest of a Wave

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...!!!

Premium Member Agape

his mouth was wide open like a whispering heart

‘bring me sex drugs rock and roll back the years’

but prayers went unheard and the little blue pill

failed to arouse healing and he went flaccidly home

from the bawdy house at which he exhaled a curse


still passionate he grasped a manual on hot love

marvelled at positions that took courage and strength

suppleness of body and mind and stealthy resolve

a picture book of inspiration he centred his spine

reflecting on tantra and a magic carpet holding on

to the yoga mat in search of rejuvenation and flow


his mates mocked him when pure Philia took over

'too incestuous' he decreed for 'I can do this myself

I want Eros' but Freud recommended killing his Dad

and bonking his Mom in classical misrepresentation 

of Storge under cover of analysis and moist dreams


his lips were parched and he longed for a lover

or at least some dark web site for illegitimate lust

searching for meaning his book case collapsed

and the bottom shelf reached to the top of the pile

how to treat haemorrhoids did not appeal to him

neither did the DIY guide to aphrodisiac verses

Nietzsche suggested that all religion was dead

only Karl Marx appealed to all communal desire


when he considered surrendering to his old age

abandon the vacant vacuum pump he had become

and accept that the highest form of amorous joy

was to bequeath his two rubber dolls to charity for

recycling of a karmic wheel and selfless nobility

he was pleased after a quick look in the dictionary

that such impartial transmission actually existed

and when he wiped irreverent seeds from his loins

became firm in the belief that Agape was for real

LOVE

Love can be defined as a feeling of deep affection
for someone or a great interest in something 
enjoyable and in much simpler word, passion.
For passion is a strong feeling, emotion or liking.

Yet, there is also difference in love and passion.
Passion is intense feeling and love is tender feeling,
more deep and lasts longer and expresses itself
in action, the feeling is reflected to the deeds.   

Love comes in different types and the first type
would be the love of parents for children, storge.
Storge could be followed by agape, the love of
mankind, if the child is taught to love others.

Then there is philia, the love of friends and equals;
loving siblings, cousins, best friends and friends.
Sometimes eros, the erotic, passionate love comes
early, known as romantic love between two people.

Love can bring happiness and joy, feeling content
or satisfied for being “loved” and for giving love.
Love can cause sorrow and pain for love hurts.
Broken heart actually hurts, deeply feeling the loss.

Love can affect a person tremendously for love
cannot be shown by words alone, it has to be
expressed in action, wherein, the loving feeling
is reflected to the deeds, to feel and act lovingly.

Love is a feeling that is enacted, feeling wedded 
to the deed and unfortunately, love is expressed
in words with no action, no warmth at all from a
cold soul, just like an obligation or with cruelty.

So this meaning of love is being passed on from
generation to generation, the wrong conception.
Love can change lives for the better when it is
meaningfully expressed in words and loving deeds.

Premium Member Sometimes Love Is Not Good Enough- -

I love you but... for the purpose of this non-argument;
I am in subject to incline to be subornation;
I love you but...would you believe, if you’d receive;
A love token,
Sometimes Love Is Not Enough
I love you but...Love spoken, a whisper from my spleen;
I mean, 
Sometimes Love Is Not Enough
Nothing to hide, I’ll be your guide;
To the love environmental…
I love you but...where everyone embraces
Each other’s spirits and souls;
Sometimes Love Is Not Enough
Storage natural affection love is not enough
And Philia love friendship love sometime is not enough
I love you...
Also Eros love sexual and erotica sometimes is not enough
I love you but...
And that there Ludus thing flirting sometimes is not enough
Still I'm loving you
Those in Pragma committed, married love, 
yeah even sometime ain’t good enough
That there Philautia my self-love sho’nuff ain't good enough
Though there are many different kinds of love to experience, the Agape unconditional, divine love… from God
For when mankind's love Sometimes Love Is Not Enough
One love is… God’s Love 
God’s love is love enough
So I'm just gonna put up, shut up, and look up
Cause sometimes love just ain't enough
But betcha my golly wow now My God
My God's love
My God's Love is more than enough

Premium Member Amazing Agape

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.

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.

-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

A Dedicated Verse to  Poetess  “Constance “Dear Heart”
Form: Lyric

Premium Member Of Love

A sacred secretion wells up in the deepest of depths.
Hearts melt at the mere pronunciation of the word love.
Circumscribing human strengths and weaknesses at all lengths 
Love permeates the earth and the highest heavens above.

Sympathy, empathy, companionship, consummation
Eros, Philia, Storage, and Agape... all encompass
The core of love—that's the true universe of compassion
Within which the rhythms of the sun, moon, and stars come to pass

It's not my will, but the will of the other dominates.
In love, ego is erased, like a dewdrop by the sun.
The weakest of weakness, love within it accommodates
Neither one is great nor one is smaller than anyone.

Each little petal peeled from acts of love is marvellous.
Lawless can be love's laws, yet they are never barbarous.

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
