There are different kinds of love
Each with a special bond of love.
Philia is for friendship and a special trust
For secrets shared and secrets kept a must.
Eros is for passion, lust, and physical needs
Where sexual fantasies and desires are freed.
Storge is natural love of family, children, or kin
It is a lifetime of affection that seldom truly ends.
Agape is selfless love beyond daily concerns
For the strangers with nothing to return.
In what kind of love do you abound?
In what kind of love do wish for now?

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...!!!

You are not just a word but a warrior
A messenger faster than a courier
Silence run away in your presence
It knows your strength when you push a barrier
You able to brake the ice between strangers
Like rangers
They unite against life dangers
In the unifying bond of love they become one
Hello unlocks possibilities of engagements
Like a sweet melody it fills the heart with joy
Remember meeting your crush for the first time
Hello striked bright like lightning in a dark sky
Hello opens up passages leading to the heart
And make it receptive to all form of love
I mean passionate love-*Eros*
*Philia* love of friends
Not forgeting *Storge*-love of parents for their children
But most importantly *Agape*: love of mankind.
Hello make love possible

Heartstrings levered,
Your skin foliated,
We tug our veins in a last passage,
Kipper the medical syndrome,
Cancer made you the sacrificed...
I clasp my little baby boy,
His eyes are the silencer,
Let life be the sequencer,
You will remain in my storge,
Heaved in my heart.
Cancroid will flush my benign,
My water of life,
Dad will always love you.

The River Agape
I float in the "inspiration" of your charity Lord,
Flowing from Agape -
Your intimate "whispering" flowing through living water
Touching thirsting shores of drought
Waiting open mouthed for billowing water
To sink in the warm depths of your "passionate" "prayers"
Your tender path out of grieving exile
Your hopelessly romantic "heart"
Invading every vein and channel not pierced with arrow s
But downy feathers
Reflecting the sunrise of Heaven
In feisty "courage" for the "healing" of the nations
"Reflecting" in the leaves falling tenderly
From the trees nourished by the River of Life
Metaphoric essence "home" of the river’s source
Going down into a gently swirling playful blue Ludic
To rise up among orange petals of Agape
In your greening open hand Storge "love"
For brothers and sisters
Gathered in your timeless vault of starlit realms
Or still wandering in dark dusty chaos –
An invitation to float as one body Agape.

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

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.

1 Love is such a big thing to be described in one word.
2 So much meaning behind it, so many kinds.
3 Eros love, Physical love. Only in for self-benefit, not real love at all.
4 Philos love, mental love. Where love is patient and friendship extends.
5 Storge love, affectionate love. Fondness and awareness of brothers and sisters.
6 Agape love, unconditional love. Where everything is selfless, give and not take.
7 Love is such a big thing to be described in one word.
8 I didn’t know the meaning of love.
9 Not until ‘he’ came into my life, my mind, my memories.
10 Not until ‘he’ became, my life, my mind, my memories.
