Frank Talk
Permit nothing and no one to take away the surety of my loveStop wondering, its a given, its even non-refundable, nothing you can do about it
Never mistake that for a willingness to be bullied
For you see the love is yours, I gave it freely
I have my own ways of doing things
And like you I won't be controlled
I don't mind helping but I mind force
I have a rebel heart and my ways are different
I dislike the sound of a cat with its tail slammed in the door
And sometimes that's how it is here when I get too close or go too far or there's something not being dealt with
I have respect and thats all I want to hear
Mankind is made for dignity and not crude mockery
Love comes not from actions, that is the gift of presence
Able to love, that generates the freewill gift of love from me to you and you to me
If it were based on actions then I could remove it
That would put you and me in a spot wouldn't it
But love is love and that remains, it is the only thing eternal
Interaction now that's another matter
You don't seem to understand I'm not into stories of lost love as though anyone has power over love
Because I have found we can't lose it and I don't want you basing our future on misbegotten ideas of loss and putting it out there as though it's the surest potential
We plant crops and those types of seed don't belong in this bed of soil
Your harm will never come by me for why would I willingly harm anyone I cherish or even others made in the image of Creation God
Choices, we all get to make them, we decide who we want around by our actions and our words
If I can reach into my soul and give to you the gift of eternal love you too can make a choice to reach deep into your soul and bring out honor
When you send up signs that you don't want me around
Thats what happens, the mirror seeds you planted grow and I go and nurture myself for I am able
Space permits the heart to know its desire
When you seem confused and unsure that's a loud message
Of a need for time to discover how you feel when I am not around
Laid against the knowing of how you feel when I am
Why would I not honor your mirror
For it is only by going through it that we learn
Never doubt me and the intention of my love
Your free to walk away with it at no charge, it's yours, I gave it, I won't demand it back
When you desire my company that's another story
I pour out and I give of my freewill just like you, if you disdain it I am free to find honor where my gifts are valued
I give you no disrespect nor do I want you contained, I desire you expansive
I love your love and I place no other before you
But I honor myself with acceptance and serenity
And I give no other any rights to distort that
Not even you the one I love
