Loving you is simple
uncomplicated,
like opening my eyes
no thought invested,
only instinct.
Love is my religion
my rock,
my roots.
my roots.
Loving you is simple
like following the smell of baked cookies
and the stars on a dark night.
Loving you is easy
even on days I question the sanity of it
even on days when my soul is defiant
and seeks to be free
but never of you.
Loving you,
it's a hunger that must be fed
it's a road I must travel on
it's a light that shows me the way.
Loving you
brings me home
makes me better
Lets me dream.

Can't think of a more perfect description, poetically, of what love is...what it means. Simply beautiful! ~jackie~

DeleteBeautiful, Ayala....agree with Jacquie...a perfect description of love :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Louise. Happy to see you again :)
Deletesmiles...lovely...gotta love it when love is that easy...a choice made and one that has such obvious rewards as well...and a compulsion too...as not to be able to think about any other kind of life but that love...
ReplyDeleteTrue, Brian...got to love it when it's natural and easy. :)
DeleteA beautiful message dear ~ It's a choice one makes, and when it is reciprocated and nurtured, it becomes simple and uncomplicated ~

DeleteIn many ways here, Ayala, you validate (for me) what I sincerely believe. That when all is said and done...I mean FINISHED!...the only power standing will be LOVE. In fact, there will be NONE ELSE. IMO, of course!

DeleteBeautiful..loving you brings me home..

DeleteThis is beautiful Ayala - and it works really well at more than one level. When you really love someone, the love itself is not something you have to work at. There are other things that take some effort though ... smiles
