The Power of Love

I have watched and observed the fear and hatred when it comes to love. Both by listening to others as well as what has been said and the actions of those I am involved with.  It is always something negative constantly or how it is the worst thing there is.

Those I am involved with have their disdain, disbelief and anti- love aspects based on their experiences, fears and lack of anything that close to someone because of trust, safety and other issues.

These aspects and more are why there is so much against love, dating, relationships, marriage and more. Because in this disposable, I don't want to be too close so i don't lose being by myself mentality of living, love is seen as a death sentence and weakness.

Here is the kicker.

I am evil and apathy. I am love.

These two things are what are my basis. What drives me and my existence The simple black or white situation. Being told that I don't do things in the gray area proves this.

What do I mean that I am both evil and love? The fiery, force and potency I am are based on these corner stones. It is why I am precise about my wants, needs and all. It is why I love with so much ferocity that it scares those that hate and feel that love is a weakness.  While my apathy and ability to excommunicate people that I was with and loved has equal strength.

This made me think about some songs and one popped up which had lyrics that really said what needed to be said to people. Luther Vandross' "power of love."  And we know I am not a big r&b person and especially stay away from love songs.  But here are the lyrics that I speak of.


Did you know that your feelings show
You thought your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide

You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love


I stopped fighting, hating and being scared of love a long time ago.  It was who I was and am. It is what makes me the chauvinist man that feminists love. As well as allowed me to have a great marriage unlike what so many others have gone through and avoided out of fear. Allowing me to giver fully, all of my heart from the moment I said I loved you.  To also not being your friend, speaking or interacting with you when you are done.

There is power in love, loving and being loved. And that is why people are in fear and loathing of it.
