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
