Love is but times that muscling smack
Fierce passions back,
Intrepid stands,
To lock one’s hands
In prayer and supplication; bust;
Break legions; thrust
Down faithless foes;
Those lies Lord knows.
Lean partialities, agape
Like cloak and cape.
True agape
Shared; One; the Way.
- Gary Edward Geraci
A “minute poem” (writersdigest.com) written for the love of my life, Jessica, my wife of 9 years this Veteran’s Day, our anniversary. To soldier, with a “muscling smack”, against the passions that would have us wander is to stay true to our family, our very own domestic church. Love is not at all love if you cannot give yourself entirely to the other. The devil wont tell you this. Don’t fool yourself or litter the road to heaven with obstacles for yourself or others. Love the one you are with.
