Ki is Love





Love is not complicated, although we often make it seem that way.
It is the simplest of emotions when we comprehend what it
means to love. We call it love when, if we were being honest,
most of the time it is nothing more than lust. It is jealousy when
we fail to define and accept our own uncontrollable desires and
misconceptions about our relationships and the autonomy of those
that attract us for any number of reasons, many of which we do not
recognize or understand ourselves.

Love is the most selfless objective we may ever experience in our
lives, completely ignoring our own needs as we attempt to protect
something we only peripherally understand. And yet . . . . . it is
the most selfish thing we may ever experience and we can cease
to exist because we lose focus on what is important, what is
right, what has value and a true legitimacy.

Love is not security, and it is not possession. It is the ultimate respect
for another person and the reflection of the best that is held deep
within our own interpretation of ourselves. It ultimately is not what we
emotionally feel for another but what we intellectually and philosophically
determine has substance and value within ourselves.

I find it intrinsically and profoundly relevant that, as individuals, we learn
to do what was suggested by historical personalities, through what we
call the ‘Bible’, the 'Torah', the 'Qur'an, and a whole host of 'scriptures and
that is we have to learn to love one another (and all of our neighbors)
as we love ourselves, the imperative being that we are able to actually
do so and recognize the importance of 'self' in our determinations.

Love is the culmination of our investigation into our own existence and the
discovery of what is important within a legitimate reality. It is the creation
of a valid personal philosophy, distinct and independently unique
from any other philosophy or ideology that we may come in contact
with during our own lifetimes. A philosophy built on our own
interpretation of the events that we have encountered on our path
where we search for truth, as elusive as that concept may be.
It is the development of that set of beliefs where we define a
well-considered morality, unique and hopefully consistent and
meaningful to ourselves and the epitome of ethical behaviour,
compatible with a character of substance and an impeccable
integrity that illustrates to the world the validity of those beliefs.

Only then can we base our lives, and our love, on something that
can be explained by reason and our own innate intelligence,
something that can be shared with others, especially those that we
may, in time, come to ‘love’, for want of a better word. The concept
is specific and determined by each individual on their own terms,
and reality will be the only arbiter as to the success
and interpretation of that love.

Love is not a matter of the heart, although the heart certainly
has its own part to play. It is an affair of the mind, of thought and
reason, and is ultimately judged not only by its intensity but by
its consistency and its ability to translate into appropriate behaviour
and inevitably into a relationship that one can be proud of, as an
example of what is possible between individuals, even when
the feeling may not be reciprocal. Love derives from our
philosophy, but it is not about us but about those we love.
We love them because of who 'they' are and for that same
compatible philosophy that we strive to define and evolve,
not dependent on our own desires and expectations.

Love simply ‘is’ and it is our objective to experience it, wherever
it leads us, and to respect the concept and all the other
individuals that we may meet along the way.

Love is not the ultimate goal of life, but the reason we live.
Love is not a thing to be possessed or to be contained.
Love is a way of life and a goal in and of itself.

We do not need to love indiscriminately, but we should learn
to love simply because we can,
and for the simple reason that it’s the right thing to do.

Love is not the question, but it is often the answer.

forever


if ever there will be a time
when my love shall ever fade
it will be at least forever
forever, and a day

~ ki ~


***********************



instill


Love can instill the strength of a lion
and the vulnerability of a newborn lamb

it can show you the peace of a summer breeze
and lead you to gaze over the edge of the abyss

it can never be exactly what you want it to be
but it will always be exactly what it is

do not fear love, for it inevitably ends in death
but embrace love for it is the meaning of life

you can search for it if you wish
but in the end, it is love that will find you

~ ki ~


************************



learn


you love
   you lose
      you hurt

you learn
   you grow
      you love

~ ki ~


********************



inevitable


Souls . . . .
that were forever meant to be
always searching
patiently waiting
relentlessly watching

they will meet for a moment
or an eternity
in this life or another
it is . . . .
. . . . inevitable

~ ki ~

flame


so bright did your flame burn
that finding you in the darkness of time
was an easy thing

~ ki ~


***********************



understood


we were here long before we first met
we will be here long after we have parted
we have something, you and I
a soul that is finally whole, one with itself
words need not be said, it is simply understood

~ ki ~


*****************



time


time passes
when together, hours pass like seconds
when apart, they pass not at all
but we are soul mates
so are never really apart

~ ki ~

still


if forever does exist
we will still be together
then as now

~ ki ~

i tasted your soul
and realized . . . . .
i had been starving forever

~ ki ~

body


i may love your body
but . . .
i am in love with your soul

~ ki ~


***********************



one


soul mates are never lost
from one life to another
they patiently await for you
for a moment of time
a chance encounter or a lifetime
it is all the same to both
since time ceases to exist
when you are one

~ ki ~


******************



lost


i realize that i was not your first sight
as a life of wonder opened up before you
i was not there with you on the day of your first date
when the gift of love began to grow in your heart
i may not have been your first kiss
and I envy that person the first taste of those lips
i may not have been your first love
and yet my soul rejoices that you found an instance of rapture
for you deserve an eternity of those moments of joy
but i am here with you today
with a single purpose set before me
to be not your first, but your last everything
to love you until the tomorrow that will never come
which brings peace to my heart and a calm to my soul

~ ki ~


********************



last kiss


his sorrow turned to joy
when he offered her his first kiss
his joy turned to sorrow
as he offered her his last
