The Arrow of Agape

 

 

There were many arrows

 

pointed in my direction

 

 

but,

 

 

none like the arrow of agape

 

 

 

 

Unconditional overthrew traditional

 

 

Unexplainable became uncontainable

 

 

 

 

 

The four letter word

 

was no match

 

for the four promised works

 

 

 

 

The works were...

 

 

 

 

For better or for worst

 

 

For richer or for poorer

 

 

In sickness and in health

 

 

Till death do us part

 

 

 

 

What is a four letter word

 

without works ?

 

 

 

Can there be a heart beat

 

without a pulse ?

 

 

 

Can there be such a thing as a kiss

 

without the locking of the lips ?

 

 

 

If there is,

 

 

 

It does not make it complete

 

 

 

 

Though now I am only one rib

 

short of humanity

 

 

 

It was worth it to complete

 

two parts of me with one anatomy

 

 

 

We didn't fall in love

 

 

but love,

 

        fell on us

 

 

by the hands of divine supervision

 

from the first celestial of highly lifted existence

 

 

 

 

We love,

 

 

not because we found love

 

 

 

but we love, 

 

 

because love found us

 

 

 

 

 

Before we ever were

Awww, one of my favorite words. "Agape" The Arrow of Love. This was truly a specatcular poem. I love everyline even the way you have it set up just adds to it's intensity. I have a picture of a wedding band I want if I ever become that lucky, what makes it special is it has the word Agape on it. The greek word for love.
