A Feng Shui Love Poem

February is all about the Love but to me every day is a day to celebrated and is in love with the moment. It used to be when lost in my thoughts I pondered “is this love?” The fact that I was asking such a question told me everything I needed to know and sent me on a deep quest within. I not only found myself, but the love of my life. Who not only saw/sees beneath the surface of my smile but into the depth of who I am at the core of my being.

“To know you is to love you.” he says. To this day, still makes me weep. Isn’t that what so many of us want? I know it’s what I craved. To be recognized. To quote a phrase from the movie the Avatar, “I See You.” If you haven’t guested by now I’m a romantic.

I believe that when we make a home for love, love finds a home. I know from personal experience the journey started within.

The Hardest Thing

You haunt me
Won’t let Go
I feel you surround me
Searching for your heart
In the depth of the night

I awake to feel your breath
Your weight on my breast

Yet, when I reach out
You run from view

The hardest Thing I’ve ever had to do
Is show my vulnerability to you

You’re afraid
Do you believe you’re worthy

Can’t you see yourself
In the Depths of my eyes
They mirror the Love I have
Deep down inside

I Cherise you
Honor you

Will you leave my heart
On your windowsill
Should you take it
Make it your own

Ooh; this hurts like hell
I’m afraid

My tears bleeding
This well of Love dry
Dust, bone, I’m dying, Into myself
Unto the pain of Loving you

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
Is show my vulnerability to you.

It’s been 14 years to the date since I wrote this poem at which time on my soulful journey I thought I was writing it for my Honey. Today when sitting down to write this blog post I was not intending to revisit this poem. My voice guided my hand to pick up my journal and to this date and page it unfolded. A well-kept secret until this moment as I realize I was writing it about myself. I was writing about him. We were not different, but the same. Both searching for peace within the mirror looking back at us. Recognizing in each other a guiding flame. I Love you Baby♥

This is the mantra I stated during moments of clarity, hours when I lost my faith, felt I wasn’t worthy, when fear, doubt and loneliness crept into my dark night of the soul. This is the Feng Shui transcendental practice I believe transformed my life. Every evening as dusk descended I light 3 candles on my windowsill say, “With this flame, in mind, body and spirit I call you home. May you see my light, recognize my heart and arrive home to my open arms for love lives here now.”

Every moment is an opportunity to let your light shine. Shine On, Shine Bright. You will be amazed how far you reach and who will recognize the flame looking back at them. Every surface is an opportunity to hold your vision, an altar to your life. What will you create in the name Love?
