Love & Marriage
Greek philia's love is to be generously seeded
to become a binding
climbing
flourishing vine
on a sturdy wall mellowed in time
surrounding a garden budding various colored blossoms in love entwined
during springtime showers
or summer's thundering rain
humanly inclined
though still producing: sunflowers, daisies, tulips, and roses with thorns which prick thin skin.
Yet a lingering kiss will ease a pain to quickly rescind
as eyes and limbs gently lock before another sun rises to joint days begin
until a descending sun sets
to difficulties pause or calmly end
as eʹros love brings delight
under a partial or full moon
even in the dead of night
or afternoon
or a morning spin
is not too soon,
though constant thought of it
should not our life or marriage
totally
consume
as if for this only
in one's heart
makes room
for stor·geʹ love
as progeny sprouts
to not impede their stems' growth
of your true love
they should not doubt.
Watering freely
and pruning
as needed
leaves
guidelines
swallowed
after mildly dispensed
as compost to soil
carefully
attended.
Yes, as with also
shade and shine
strengthened spines
will ascend
gracefully
as mature
visions
seen
before these
also, imbibe
life-sustaining nutrients
thankfully
heeded.
And let us not neglect
agape love
to ensure sure success
of a bind of souls
holy blessed.
For the apostle Paul
duly stressed:
“Each one of you must love his wife
as he does himself;
on the other hand,
the wife should have deep respect for her husband.” Eph. 5:33.
Yes.
Only after spreading freely
these various loves to abound
will days into moons
seasons into years
generations to appear
and coexist
eternally
as couples display a marital bliss
as baskets of fruitage
luscious
delicious
sound
of which diverse plantings
themselves
can eagerly partake
if on sweet harmony
they too insist
will a paradisaic garden
exist for imperfect until perfect
humanity's sake
under divine guidance
based upon
love
on which our Creator
totally
insists.
May the dew of Jah's words
moisten your fields to plentifully yield
true love
never to desist.
Brotherly love
even to mates
displayed daily
not to forsake.

Continue putting up with one another and forgiving one another freely even if anyone has a cause for complaint against another. Just as Jehovah* freely forgave you, you must also do the same. But besides all these things, clothe yourselves with love, for it is a perfect bond of union." Col. 3:13, 14.
