Tongues like knives,
fists full of want,
sparks in silence.
Bruised with need,
kiss or kill,
gripped by the words.
Dance of no retreat,
clash, then cling,
burn before touch.
Still breathing you in,
between fight and fall.
Wanting in spite,
love didn’t leave—
just changed
into fire.
We danced
on the line between
damage and desire.
This is our love,
fire,
teeth,
and everything
in between.
Blinded by the first morning beam
Intense infatuation of adolescent love
Triggered emotions. His beguiling charm
Tightened its hold. But a flaw in the scenario
Entangled the script, and the seducer, less his veneer
Retreated into oblivion, leaving a broken heart in disarray.

Agape doesn't love the virtuous but makes them worthy.
Goodwill connects empathy and creative redemption
Abounding love; called God's love in men's lives.
Propel love to this level solely because God loves them
Eminence for the unconditional love that can stay forever.

The female who
inhabited her
that night bare
outside and inside
the truths of the male
that entered without shame ...
She was allowed to walk
to the human wall,
with the tongue
thirsty for love ...
Received the balm
from that other mouth
with torpor ...
Thr lover flowed
all holy sap
that she received with joy
and made him come ... and came ...
Her pleasure so expanded
that her wound has sutured ...
The pleasure so scheduled
finally confirmed ...
If there is joy and pleasure
in love ... never again
She wanted to live away
of this lov

If you’re reading this,
A loud
Or silently
This I am saying to you…
I LOVE YOU
This I do,
Because Jesus does
And God also loves you
I love 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
If you’re reading this,
A loud
Or silently
This I am saying to you…
I LOVE YOU
My love for you it’s not a eros kind you’re not my wife…
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,
A loud
Or silently
This I am saying to you…
I LOVE YOU
Hallelujah
AMEN
I LOVE YOU

you are not perfect, lov. you are actually nowhere near perfect. you overthink and you are very protective of me. we don’t always get along either. but, that’s okay, because you make me happy regardless. you have your flaws, and i love every single one, they make you who you are. so, no, you are not perfect, my love, you are perfectly imperfect and that’s what makes you perfect for me.
GOD BLESS THE ANGELS
God bless thee angels;
More than you know;
He lov-lalaloves them so;
You are His blessings;
You're more than just humans;
You're a spirit and you have soul;
Like a fruit in the tree;
Up on then branch waiting to;
Pick, plunk eaten;
Remember your His children;
And that you belong to Him;
For He loves you so;
You are His blessings;
You're more than just humans;
You're a spirit and you have soul;
God bless thee angels;
More than you know;
He lov-lalaloves them so;
God bless thee angels;
More than you know;
He loves them so;

POEM 40 I LOVE YOU
THERE IS SO MANY WAY TO TELL YOU, I LOVE YOU.
I LOOK IN TO YOUR EYES I SEE THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR ME.
I LAY DOWN AT NIGHT & HOLD IN MY ARMS WITH LOVE & HAPPINESS
YOU SEE LOV E IS ALL AROUND US IN THE DAY & HIGHT.
BY: JERRY BIG PAPA WELLS
Now I lay me down to sleep
I hope my dreams come true
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
To keep it safe for you
If I die before I wake
I know that you'll be fine
I pray the Lord my soul to take
But leave my love to shine
If by chance I see the day
I'll thank the Lord above
For every day that I'm alive
Is one more day to lov
I'm not at all religious but somehow
This just came to me as I remembered
The normal poem and gave it a tweek
