I Love You as SHE Loves You

I love you.

I love your boldness and raw courage.

I love your unfiltered truths spoken from your crimson mouth.

I love your vulnerability to dive into the thick waters of sorrow’s darkness.

I love your brave presence in the shattering of untruths.

I love your piercing gaze as you stare into the face of fear.

I love the river of compassion that runs through you, like lifeblood to a hurting world.

I love your soul-deep convictions sitting on your irreverent tongue.

I love the way you shoo away shame that tries to hinder you.

I love the way you hold your own scales of justice, your own truth far outweighing societal taboos.

I love your mountainous presence in the face of doubt.

I love that you touch so tenderly the truths of the heart.

I love your flaming flaws and the masterful perfection of your shattered mosaic of a heart that shimmers in the Light like a prismatic rainbow.

I love that you cherish wisdom and Magic over material gain.

I love the simplicity of your knowing and the complexity of your inner world.

I love that you love so deeply that it sometimes scars your heart.

I love that you feel what others feel and you don’t hide from the hurt in the world.

I love that you see the best in others, even when it isn’t always warranted.

I love that you see the truth of human fragility and offer forgiveness, even when it is hard.

I love that you desire peace, even when anger blazes from within.

I love that you are the Earth Mother and the fire dancing Queen.

I love your untamed truths, even when they do not grant you popularity.

I love that your essence is black glitter, the feminine dance of shimmering beauty and the darkness of black tar.

I love your obscene mouth and unapologetic hips.

I love the way you toss the veils of societal conditioning, like untethered kites in the wind.

I love the way you allow life to transform you with a trust in the spiral of change.

I love the way you cast of masks that no longer fit, even in the face of loss.

I love you as SHE loves you, a perfectly imperfect Creation.

And so it is.
