When you truly love.. You love elusively.. You love with no bound.. You love without rules.. You love freely & unconditionally.. You love against everything.. You love your beloved in their light, in their strength.. You love them in darkness, in their fragility.. You fight for their light.. You protect their soul.. Their happiness becomes your happiness.. You love them in wholeness.. You love their very existence.. You love to their last breath.. You love them beyond time.. To truly love, you open your heart.. They possess your most vital organ.. To break, to do as they please.. To truly love.. You love with your life.. You love in purity.. You love with the wholeness in you.. You love in holiness.. You love in transcendence. You become at distance from everything.. You feel a separation from the world.. You watch it from your own window view.. It is so beautiful..it is so simple.. You love in mourning..you love in death.. You become in this internal state of bleeding.. You feel it seeping through your chest.. With your life in your lungs.. The weight of the world inside you.. A magnitude in your small mass.. You feel every thousand deaths.. Your greatest grief.. Your greatest silence.. You speak less, you smile less.. You listen more..you see more.. You are humbled.. To truly love you feel an excruciating curse.. To truly love, you see God’s gift.. To truly love.. You love from the depths of your soul.. You love in eternal light.. You love in Devine..you love elusively..
so inspiring to read ...love and savored every single line ...but this one (the turn i think) is perfectly placed to turn my mind to the more sublime:
"You love in purity.."
i have been convinced for a long time now that the river of pain is far greater than that of joy ..it teaches us more ...its strength and currents overpower the strongest .. swept along we begin to see .. we are hauled out by those on shore and join them now to help others ... your poem has given me lots to think and be thankful for this morning Eve ... thanks for sharing

ps to love "elusively" is a great hook and wrap up ... well done says i!
The definition of elusive is; difficult to find, catch, or achieve. So your lovely words seem to suggest, no matter how hard we try, to appreciate 'love' in it's entirety - is unachievable! We can only do our best … great read and exquisite share … :-)
