Before Love's Beginning

Hey there,

So I haven't posted in a while. Reason being I got back to LA this week and I've been getting back into the rhythm of classes and school activities. Not to much happening outside those two spheres of life. 

So I've decided for this post, to do a flashback of sorts, by sharing a poem that I wrote a couple of years ago. It's entitled 'Before love's beginning'. I chose to share this poem because love is a topic on a lot of people's minds. This is something you quickly realize when you are at college, and one of the first things girls talk about is the guys at the school, and how some are there in the hopes of getting an M.R.S degree. Its only been a week, but I've heard about it over, and over, and over, and over........and over....

So here's a little advice to the ladies looking for love, and it comes in this poem entitled 'Before love's beginning'. This is especially for my Christian sisters: seek God first, and all those other wonderful things shall follow. I hope you're blessed.

Before Love's Beginning

Before a heart can be merged with it's kind

in eternal amalgamation,

Before a life can be shared with another

or souls in consecration,

Before a memory is made

and framed in adoration,

Before two paths become aligned

with matching inclination,

Before a gaze is cast aside 

in juvenile flirtation,

Before such  gaze is even birthed

from mutual adoration

Before a glimpse calls for one more

from primary attraction

Before life leads you to the moment

of initial action,

Within yourself, you must find peace

before said interactions, 

But greater still, within the Lord

find mutual satisfaction.
