Amore

So I don't know why
but 'Amore' sounds like it should be a fragrance
like a wholesome
fresh-out-the-oven
home made apple pie
the kind that just makes you
*inhale*
mm...Amore
Mm! You guys feel me on this one?
That fragrance that just caresses your senses
essentially massaging it's way down through your nose
warm
calm
soothing
slowly finding it's way down through your body
until it settles itself down in your gut
and coats your soul with wholeness
mm..*inhale* Amore

or for some
it's like that first sip of wine
that you take when you're about eight or nine
and you *smell* *sip*
EW! *cough* gross! Amore! no thanks!
and then your mom kinda just laughs and
*sip* 'that's okay honey, you'll get used to it one day'

or, it could even be
kick-in-the-mouth
sizzlin', tobasco
spicy HOT
like take a bite and 
BAM!
HOO!
YEAH!
AMORE!
HO YEAH!
THAT'S what I'm talking about
Exploding inside of you
spinning, whizzing
rocketing off into all directions like
*pshoo!* *zoo!!!* *pppkkkkkkssshhhhhh* AHH watch out Amore is coming!!!

BRACE yourself
cuz this could get messy
that's right, don't come to a meal serving 'Amore'
wearing your best dress
because I'll be straight up with you
diving into Love is not always cut and dry
Sometimes, someti--
alright, I won't lie to you--
MOST of the time
Love will down right turn your world upside down
it will grab you by your right hand
stare you straight in the face and ask you if you're ready to keep pace with it
to embrace that tobasco taste saying,

"Hey, this aint gonna be easy
and I'm not gonna give in just cuz you start pleading for me to stop
pushing you out of your comfort zone.
Yes, I can and will be a cushion for you sometimes
to remind you how beautiful you are.
I will turn your head toward the stars
take you apart
and speak straight to your heart saying, 'I love you'
bringing you back to the core of who you are

but NOT so we sit and WATCH
getting caught up in the 'apple pie' Amore
cuz I'll tell you right now
you may get sick of that smell
wanna grab that pie
light it on fire
and throw it at me, your friend, wife, mother, brother or lover
who now seems like your opponent
who you just don't wanna deal with anymore
and makes you rethink that marriage that you sealed before
you knew it would be like this.
Yes, I will again take your face in my hands
and help you stand in this fire
to go higher and deeper
I will turn your head towards your wife 
and make you think again why you first thought she was a keeper

Oh, and for the record:
Divorce is not one of my options
because I am Real Love and don't let those who trust Me
start coppin' out.
When you say, 'I love you',
that means you let me, Love, run the game
and in my book
'I love you' means you stay
and are willing to change,
Comprende?

If you just trust me I will lead you to a love that will leave lust locked out in the cold
struggling to keep it's temporary fire lit
while you sit and hold fast to me
in a fire so complete and consuming
yet never burning your feet
refining you past that nine year old
and again sipping that Amore wine
acquiring it's intricate and unique flavor
learning more and more Amore
of it's touches, smells and tastes
the way it never ceases to relate and meet you right where you are
I promise you, you don't have to look so hard
it's not that far away
all you have to do is stop
and breathe in
*inhale*
mm...Amore

Who Am I

030206

Who am I?
Who am I, you may ask? I am a Voice.  I am the Voice that yearns to be heard.  The Voice that shouts.  The Voice that whispers.  The Voice that sings, raps, speaks, and moves.  The Voice that touches, that loves.  The Voice with passion.

Who am I?
I am a Rhythm, a Song, a Beat sent to reverberate to the tired and weary, the lost and confused, the hard-hearted and the stubborn.  I am the Beat that makes you jump, makes you tap, makes you clap, makes you dance.  The Beat that's fast.  The Beat that's slow.  I am the Beat that vibrates within the Earth, the Rhythm intertwined with your very being.

Who am I?
I'm the 'little extra'.  I am the squeeze in your hugs, the bounce in your walk, the power behind your voice.  I am the hope that drives you forward, the shine in your smile, the passion in your tears.  I am the twenty dollars you needed that you found in your jeans, the cool breeze on a warm day, the cozy feeling on a cold night.  I am the phone call when you thought nobody else cared.

Who am I?
I am Jesus Christ.  I am King.  I am Victory.  I am Life and Death.  I am Comfort, Joy, Hope, Love and Faith.  I am the Love you've been waiting for, the One who's just plain crazy about you, who died, cried, endured and lived for you
Who am I?


I AM.



Now, who are you?
You are my chosen, my beloved.  You are commissioned to be the Voice, Beat, Rhythm, Song, the Little Extra...the Jesus...

Now go.  Take who you are
and be who I AM.
