Adamas Love

I discovered what love is, by learning what it is not 

Endlessly shoveling for the treasure, my heart began to rot

Before I felt love’s beauty, I was drugged with it’s wrath

I fell asleep romanced, and woke up in a deadly warpath 

Coldness does not exist, only a lack of heat

Just as the absence of true love, turns the heart to sleet

But when I found the one, all warmth was restored 

For the ice melted, and for once, I was adored 

Love is patient, love is kind, it's as endless as the Bible states

Written in one Corinthians chapter three, verses four through eight

Love is like a diamond, derived from “adamas” in Greek

This means it is unbreakable, yet precious and unique 

Humans were created to love, to be self-giving and pure 

But when we are self-seeking, love cannot endure

Some treat love unkindly, and use it as a source of manipulation 

Though in its truest form, love is unprecedented liberation 

To love is one thing, and to be loved is another

But what is truly special, is when two love each other

I gave my heart to him, and he gave his to me

Fully understanding, that we each hold love’s key

He kisses me softly, and his gentle touch chills my spine 

He whispers in my ear, and our hands intertwine 

He doesn't push for more, instead he holds me close 

He looks into my eyes and smiles, then pecks me on the nose 

There are days I go through hardships, days I grow weak

He looks into my eyes, lifts me up, not needing to speak

Other days I’m joyful, I am fearless, elated, and young 

And that's when candied words, dance off his tongue 

At night we fold our hands to pray, thanking God for all He’s done  

My love has tears in his eyes, I can see them under the midnight sun

I hear him swallow slowly, then take a deep breath

Into the night he whispers, “I will love you until death”

I tell him, “I discovered what love is, I don't care what it's not

I searched the earth for treasure, then I met you in the parking lot”

As I fall asleep, love’s beauty engulfs me, lighting up my heart 

“You are my sunshine,” I say, “and Because I Love You, I’ll never depart”
