Love -- My World View

I do not know what it is that you call love.
To myself,
it is when one not only beholds,
 tender, soft and true feelings toward another,
but goes on to gently execute then in this life.
One who is loved feels for themselves,
a presence of Godliness in their life.
They feel, secure, pristine, appreciated and valuable.
They feel complete in the manner God initially planned.
They not only see the future as they have envisaged in their dreams,
but go on to live that dream in this life. 

 The Cemetery of My Heart

Whenever I am sad I visit to the cemetery of my heart,
I am sad because I have been betrayed, I have been fooled.
I am sad because I just can't believe such things are truly possible.
This very special place and my gift to God -- the cemetery of my heart,
The final resting place of all my negative and retributive emotions,
The final place of rest of even those that I have loved so dear.
In the midst of the deafening silence of this secrete place,  
I hear the hauling sounds of the wolfs and they haul at the moon,  
I feel the cold cold winds swirl as they vortex past,
I feel the sorrows of my past and seek solace in the midst,
I have come today to lay to the rest,
The  hurtful feelings from the one that I have loved so dear,
Rest in eternal peace I really loved you and and will always,
 But ... I have to take this cup of suffering and accept that,
Our love is something that was never meant to go beyond this point,
I have to accept this and move on carrying with me from here-on,
The joy and laughter that we shared and I will miss you so dearly,
Rest in peace eternal peace,
If there is a way,
May the Good Lord take take this cup of suffering away.
Oh! the cemetery of my heart, my gift to Good Lord,
I have  and will forever hold back the Devil in me,
I will hand him to God for He alone knows how to deal with Lucifer,
With my puny mind I confess to having no know-how,
As to how to deal with Lucifer.
If I try all I know is he will annihilate me with.
