      How Do I Love You?

      by Aloha Jacqueline

      · Soul Poetry,Poetry

      We as humans

      do love labels

      I believe it's the mind's need

      to categorize

      and (try to) understand

      the vastness of life.

      The Greeks understood

      that Love has many forms

      Many expressions.

      When I say I love you.

      I feel an all

      Encompassing Love.

      Love beyond

      Rules,

      Roles,

      Stories

      or Labels.

      If I have to

      break it down

      Disect this energy

      I've felt

      I feel

      I might say...

      I am totally in (my) love with you.

      I love you

      In many ways.

      A Soul Love

      A Deep Love

      A Big Love

      A Vast

      A Heart Love

      A Human love.

      Timeless Love

      Expanded Love

      Surrendered Love

      Love beyond form

      And love of your form.

      Expanding Love

      Love that Lovers feel

      Wanting to show

      To express

      with their hands

      With their bodies

      The Love they feel.

      It feels like

      I've felt it all.

      Am I in love?

      Falling in love?

      Rising in love?

      Yes.

      If I stay self-connected

      I feel a

      Love beyond fear

      Love beyond mind

      Love beyond attachment

      Love beyond limerance

      Or limits.

      Love as safety

      Love as freedom.

      Love as acceptance

      of What is.

      When I fall out of self-connection

      Part of me is afraid

      this revelation

      this intensity

      might scare you

      Or overwhelm you

      Which honestly is understandable

      It's intense and overwhelming

      For me at times.

      But I started allowing

      Myself to fully feel

      All the Love I feel

      when I connect with you

      All the love I am

      To live and move inside of me.

      With some hesitation too

      If I start thinking

      Or stop breathing

      But as Rumi said 

      "Fall in Love, and stay there."

      And this time I'm curious to "stay there" 

      Without expectation or need

      Beyond your form

      I am knowing myself as Love

      Knowing you as Love

      Feeling the Love

      which connects us

      To the Beloved.

      Wanting

      Desiring

      Yet not needing

      Even though reciprocity

      Would be (is) enjoyable,

      Adventurous

      and beautiful.

      It's already beautiful

      inside of me

      As is.

      PS:

      This poem is part of a trilogy of poems exploring Love.

      Part 1: How Do I Love You?

      Part 2: Freedom

      Part 3: Rumi
