I love the month of February because I was born on the sixteenth. February- the love month – giving and loving and sharing and forgiving; well, that’s what they say. The sweet repetition of the conjunction ‘and’ makes everything add up in the love month. Over the years, I wrote many short pieces about love: love and friendship; love and heartaches; love and hate; love and life; love and death; misunderstood love; and love, love, love…but I am learning the greatest love of all is in my savior Jesus Christ!
The old cliché-short, sweet and spicy!
Enjoy. ♥jjf

Invitation (Edited)
Our time of hate is in the past
Now it’s our time to love
Your colorful eyes follow me around,
Are you afraid to stare?
Yet, you like what you see
Are my lips too full to swallow yours?
Are my eyes too deep that you feel helpless?
Come, you can taste my honeycomb
Don’t be afraid of the light
There is so much that I can teach you
Come, feel me
Not in secret places, come
Let’s go to the mountains
It’s fresher there
Our time of hate is in the past
Now it’s our time to love,
Again.

To Argue Love
And if we argue, fuss, or fight
What good it’s gonna do tonight?
You take a piece of my heart
and with the same breathe say, ‘I love you’
What good it’s gonna do today?

Restless Dove
I’ll contend for you my love
as sure as the stars are above
though you may try to fly away
my love for you will multiply,
though distance may keep us apart,
though others may try to steal your heart;
my grip on you shall never depart.

Indecision
Can I look at life in a two way fold
Can I walk through two open doors
Can I share love fifty-fifty
What then shall I do?
Deep into those eyes I am afraid
Deep into the past I keep remembering
Deep into the future I have to go
What then shall I do?

A Song of Longing
I’ll be there before the first rain falls
I’ll be there before you close your eyes
If all the rain should stop falling
If all the fruit trees stop bearing
If all the birds stop singing
My love for you will never change
My laughter will be heard throughout the land
To bring joy to your heart
I’ll be there before the sun sets
I’ll be there before you close your eyes.

Question to Self
Do you love you enough?
Asking the same questions over and over again:
Who do you think you are?
Do you love your thoughts?
In a whisper: do you love you?
Do you love your neighbor as yourself?
Go ahead, it’s good to love you too
Why should you hide who you are?
The stars burst in its firmament
Blazing a wink that extends the universe
And we who are on earth can look and behold its wonderment
The beautiful array of God’s love canopied above us
Why should such love be hidden?
Go ahead, it’s good to love you;
And you will have no hindrances loving your neighbor too.
