Between love and passion
When you are truly with yourself and your soul merges with your own soul you find that the pulse of your life has increased in energy beyond description and it continues to grow with time if the love is pure for the sake of God and in God.
When you close your eyes and see the one you love, and even when you are preoccupied with life, their presence never leaves you no matter how busy you are. When your life feels meaningless empty and dull and the deepest thought within you makes you feel bored, everything inside you feels neutral. You feel incomplete like nothing can fulfill you—no thought no event no company no family or friend. Even though you are always busy and have high ambitions you still feel like you are living without purpose. Then someone comes along and adds meaning to the details of your life. They leave a mark on you without you even realizing it and you can’t escape from it. Their presence follows you in your waking hours and even in your dreams where you feel happiness just being with them. Dreams don’t come by chance they are messages and lines that will paint a picture with the colors of love and passion, writing poetry with the letters of emotions you never felt before. They break your deadly routine capture your attention and place happiness in your path pulling joy into your heart and leading your sorrows down a different road one that no longer leads to you. Sadness and pain move away because of the power of true love and your loneliness is dragged by its hair and thrown out of your life. Everything inside you becomes alive filled with meaning color taste scent and feeling.
Even sadness becomes different. Its details seem sweet because you know there is someone who will wipe its dust from your heart sharing these moments with you as you do with them. Just by the dawn of their face in your darkness someone will come who listens attentively to your simple words noticing your superficial details caring about the smallest things in you making them valuable because the love between you has given them value after they had none.
When someone like this comes into your life you experience what it means to be born again. Sometimes you experience dying a thousand times in a day while still alive with passion. Every absence feels like death and every separation like a delicious kind of death, unlike any other. Then you are reborn again from the womb of passion not from your mother’s womb when you reconnect or meet.
When you are deep in love someone embraces you, and you feel a pang as if you don’t want to share their love with anyone else not even the closest people to you. Only when they hug you does the distance between you shrink and the universe expands. The embrace becomes bigger than the universe wider than the seas and oceans. This is the power of true love.
Everything around you seems beautiful. You look at things with a different perspective. You approach life in a strange wonderful way with a playful child inside you who keeps playing and laughing never growing up. You discover that passion is like a “mother” who skillfully trims the claws of fear in you so that it doesn’t scratch and hurt your heart. She seems harsh to anyone who makes you sad always watching over you with passion believing you will always be her child who never grows up no matter how mature you are.
When the lover is born within you, you realize that the 28 letters of the language are not enough to describe everything that has happened and everything that has not happened between you. Five senses are not enough to feel everything with them. One tongue is not enough to say all you want to say or to taste the sweetness of meaning in their words. One body is not enough to touch their heart. Your eyes cannot get enough of looking at them. You fear that your nose will betray you and fail to carry their scent with you wherever you go while your hearing may fail to absorb everything they say, such as listening to their silence their scent their anger their joy. There are things you understand but cannot hear or see except between the two of you—it’s the power of true love.
The highest and most complete stage of love is hiyam or as some call it, madness for the beloved. At this stage a person feels total freedom in the madness and irrational illogical emotions they experience. This is the result of a long journey of love where the person gives all their emotions to the beloved.
Until souls and thoughts unite and the levels of awareness, which are beyond human natur align lovers who melt into love experience what others cannot taste. They feel emotions between them that rise to the highest degrees of sensitivity and passionate love.
Love and passion are among the noblest human feelings, innate and uncontrollable by anyone, as they are in the hands of God alone, who turns hearts as He wills. Love begins with admiration and deepens as emotions grow stronger, and there is no final stage to true love. Lovers may create new forms and types of love and passion that no one else has experienced. They innovate in their emotions with the utmost creativity, fueled by the energy of longing and passion that generates between them and for them alone. True love between sincere lovers is like a fingerprint, never repeating.
