One Body One Soul - Bobby Marl

Love transcends
the boundary
of being male and female
in being one body
and one soul
in marriage.
It's no longer
I in relation to thou
or thou in opposite to I.
It's simply I am thee
and thee I am.
Oh love
that destroys
all separation
Oh love
that goes beyond
the physical
boundaries
of time and space!
What pure joy
What holy gladness
it is to fall in love
a trillion times
and even more
to the same beloved
repeating tirelessly
with more intensity
and fast cadence
as in dance steps
love's whisper...
I love you
I love you most
I love you dearly
until the point
is reached
the aha of love's ecstasy!
Blessed are those
who love and receive love
in the joy of marriage
which is a foretelling
of the already and not yet
of heaven's joy!

Our Love in the Here and Now - 2nd Wedding Anniversary

As we celebrate
our second year of marriage
let's simply focus
how we love each other
in the here and now
let's forget yesterday
and let tomorrow take care
of itself, and just be
happy and grateful
in the love we share
in the here and now.
Now is the eternal bliss
Here is our heavenly abode
what more can we ask
we have the love
that transcends time and space
that extends the horizons
of this passing world
a love that is constant
and strong is enduring
till the end, no matter what.
Once in time
you took the effort
to reach out to me
in my solitude
and hidden life
along the Pecos river
of a benedictine monastery.
And I responded with delight
following my heart's whisper
never to let your beauty fade
but allow it to glow
captivating me to make a journey
to go home and find you
in real person of your unique you
so in our face to face meeting
the seed of love can blossom
into a full blown rosebud.
That was December 8,2007
when we made our wedding knot
in the presence of our families,
classmates, co-workers and friends.
What better way to celebrate
our 2nd year anniversary
that the courage and joy
to renew what we have vowed to
to love one another
in health and sickness
in the best of times
in the worst of times
till death do us part...
Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary
Hun Marl ko
with love and devotion,
Hun Bobby mo.

On our 22nd Monthsery of Wedding

This is a song for you
Hun Marl on our 22nd month
as lovers and couple forever
singing the song of our love.
The best song for me
is a song sung with feelings
feelings of deepest love
feelings of deepest pain
feelings of highest joy
feelings of highest hopes
of the human heart.
Just these few simple words
to wish you all my love
as we pause and say a prayer
of gratitude to God
for keeping us strong in love
even still apart yet so jointly one
each day of our married life
just for the time being
as we wait and hope
for the fulfillment
of our hopes and dreams.
At times God comes so strongly
like the recent wild typhoon
that hit the Philippines
breaking through and destroying
our peace and joy
Only to come back so gently
like a soft mountain top air
refreshing us with new life,
envigorating our tired being
with greatest delight
like eating Halo Halo
during a hot summer day,
and giving us abiding peace
this world cannot give.
Happy 22nd month anniversary Hun Marl,
and you know what
your name is taken
from the Latin word "Mar"
meaning "the sea"
and each time I utter your name
its like a sea of magnificent beauty
as the sun is setting softly
in the horizon of Manila Bay!
Oh I love you and will always be
your Hun Bobby, one heart and soul with you!

On My Birthday

On my 49th Birthday
Your love
thoughtfulness
sweetness, gracefulness
beauty, care and faithfulness
are like diamond sparks
piercing me with delight
so intense and pure
lasting and unforgetable.
A wife is a husband's joy
especially in moments
of great thanksgiving
such as today!
God is so loving
for He gave me
in your most beautiful heart
the great love a man can have.
I love you Hun Marl
with the love without measure
lasting forever
eternally on fire
in the everlasting
new creation of our lives!

Love's Day

On this day of love

On this day of love

I turn my gaze to the love

in full splendor outside

and inside of me.

From the outside

I see gentle snowflakes

floating in the morning air

amidst the mists and greyness

in the serenity of the hidden valley.

I see steps upon the snowy ground

footsteps of fellow travelers

in the holy journey of seeking God

who is love, who loves unconditionally.

I see beauty and luster in the eyes

of people around me

I see smiles and joyful wordless dance

The whole world is filled with love!

From the inside I cannot see

But I can feel so intimately

love's deepest stirrings

love's most intense longings

love's enduring hopes

For I am from deep within

a pure wellspring of love

and inexhaustible outpourings

of love's most sacred treasures

of goodness, kindness and compassion.

Love is the very reason

of my existence and living

Love is the very source

of strength and hopes

Love is the light piercing through

any barrier of darkness

as I keep on trudging

Life's oftentimes

lonely, angry and frustrated world

and my soul is so anxious

and restless until comes another breakthrough

for me just to love and love till my last breath!

Hun Marl, my one and only rose...

Hun Marl, my lovely rose...

I have been waiting

and eager for you to bloom

after a harsh wintersnow

and there you are smiling

in the splendor of your beauty

spreading fragrance so pure

and so penetrating to my soul!

Oh roseMarl you are not just a flower

you are a beloved I love most

in your simplicity of being

in your wonderful beauty

in your splendor of delight

only the heart that longs

for a wife knows deeply.

So I silently took an image of you

in the digital world I captured you

so that in my deepest heart

that moment of blessedness

of seeing you and being with you

I can cherish again and again.

Oh you even inspired me

to write our story of love and joy.

Oh how loving you are in your roseness

and how tender and sweet is your name

and I am so happy to meet you

just at the time of perfect blooming

of the greatness of your person

spreading wide the petals of your true self

waiting, listening, contemplating me

your avid onlooker, your gentle lover.

Ah, I sigh in sheer restfulness

in the memory of my heart

I will always treasure that moment

of our rendezvous in summer time!

Love Heals

Love heals...

A little bit of love
just a small gesture
of kindness
or a simple token
of thoughtfulness
means a lot
to heal a broken spirit
or a weary soul
in this life's twists
and turns...

At times
or most of times
we are in a hurry
and we don't want
to get disturbed
in our hurried pace
to go back
to our own isolation
when in truth
it only takes a second
to spread the lips
and smile
or it only takes
few minutes
to make coffee
for visiting strangers
with love in every gesture
it doesn't really take that long.

Much more with internet
can't we slow down
and in silence
even make a difference
in simply being present
to each other
listening and caring
the very soul and hearts
of our dear persons
in the vision and sacrament
we can only call the now!

I sing with all of my heart
love heals, love heals,
love heals the broken hearts
love heals the weary souls
love heals the world
love heals, love heals....Tags: love, healing, relationship, friendship, intimacy, listening, caring... | Edit Tags
