Far Beyond Eros

There are many levels of love but I chose to go to the deepest... So how deep is your love?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Touch begins in the spirit,

Travels swiftly to the heart ,

And is realized in the mind.

Often touch stands still in time.

And the world goes silent,

As senses are awakened and heightened,

And you feel...

 

 

 

 

 

Words can not equate,

To the power of a touch,

Sent supernaturally to the soul...

Resting tenderly under skin.

This touch makes ears listen,

From deep within,

Without ever audibly hearing...

 

 

 

 

 

Words can be felt.

But sincerity surpasses,

Eloquent words shaped,

To bend a wanting heart.

Honest subtle gestures mean more,

Taking what words can not grasp.

And what ears can not afford to hear,

Remains clear with out ever being said...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Souls connect and collide,

Without even trying

A need is formed.

And desires are laid to rest~

As one becomes consumed

With Love...

Far beyondEros,

Greater thanPhilia,

Agape is only the beginning,

And Storge is birthed in actions,

That can only been seen in the heart...

 

 

 

 

 

 

No method can warrant

Such an experience

That overrides common sense

And challenges all logic.

Companionship is formed

While you are sleeping ...

You wake in a dream state~

Looking over separation,

You find yourself relating

To a beautiful stranger...

Those are the verses that I'd have to say I like the best.

The visual emphasis, I would say, feels more aesthetic than anything. The language itself carries the strength of the words by itself. As a friend of mine would say, these words feel CHARGED, even well after initially being written.

*smirks* But yes, the levels of Grecian love. Ever since I learned those whenever I see the word "erotic" I know it's a cheat. Ah well...
