Song of Susannah- I love you

It is an all-encompassing love that cares for every aspect of you.  It is not blind to fault, but accepting of the fact that we are all flawed.  Although it has great depth and richness, is wide-reaching and strong, it does not suffocate, nor over-whelm .  It liberates and up-lifts.  It does not seek to control, but to inspire.  It has no subtlety, but it does have texture and nuance.  Such love defends and strengthens, but does not over-shadow or enable.  This love has serenity and peace, but also fire and passion.......and wisdom.  This love has wisdom as its cornerstone and maturity as its foundation. It is quiet and compassionate, understanding and gentle.  This love has honesty and wit, humor and hopefulness.  It is experienced, but innocent, devoted, but fiercely independent and based in the love of God and His love of us.  It is tangible and real, loyal and faithful, tender and trusting, durable and enduring.

Two kinds of women and they are both me

There are times when I feel dazed and shy, overwhelmed by your presence.......when I need you to take me by the hand and lead me somewhere safe.......hold me within the protection of your own space......when all I know is that I want to submit.........that I need to give way.......to yield.........to disappear inside you........to feel encompassed, body and soul.  In those moments I am a woman merged with the love I bear you and the love I receive from you.  I am quietly, gently, and joyously complete.  Then there are times when passion overcomes me and I am like a warrior-woman of old, untamed and wild.  I cry out in the all-consuming heat and thrash about demanding that you exhaust me into release.  While both of these women are me, I have no control over either of them.  No one......no one knows them, but you.....no one but you will ever know them.  Both of them love you.
