I’d Rather Rise in Love With You By Jana Lynne Umipig
I don’t want sweet nothings whispered in my ears I’d rather be confronted by the savoury somethings That truths communicated – in fullness and compassion bring I don’t want long gazes or to get lost in your eyes I ‘d rather have our eyes brave exploration, Discovering every part of each other – Every wrinkle and tint and shade Every scar and marking that our livings have made I don’t want to feel I knew you in another life Or that I dreamed you in my sleep I’d rather learn you piece by piece in reality I’d rather you teach me how the you today Is better than before And I want my new self to love you more, As I Love me more I don’t’ want to be attached, or taken, or spoken for I don’t want to make each other whole I’d rather be two whole beings Mind, Body and Soul I don’t want to believe you do not choose who you Love That you just know when you do Love, to me, is a choice, you wake up every day and you choose: What you want What you need Speak your truths to receive Truths in exchange – Past what is perceived Past assumptions, to gain knowings And to keep Love growing It’s more than the showings It’s the clarity in communication It’s the calm and patience past frustrations It’s the listening and the stillness – It’s every message from body to breath I don’t want to fall for you Or fall in Love Falling is falseness, it’s fleeting I’d rather rise in love with you In ascension Without fear and apprehension I don’t want to sacrifice any part of me to make it work I want to invest in all of me and all of you And give gratitude That we empower one another in self worth I don’t want to be possessed or bound by Love I’d rather be Liberated in Loving I’d rather be Love that is Revolutionary Love that is Patience And Presence And Respect And Pride And Honesty, nothing to hide And Attraction And Joy And Truth In every thing we say, show and do In Love with you is all of this to me And there is no place I would rather be.
