 i love you first

understand this simple phrase
while you occupy
the state of a victim mentality
would give a different 
meaning and perspective
whence coming from
a place of power,
strength, and love
instantly you'd feel
the distinctness 
between the two
 
i love you first
spoken
in a different manner
through another 
state of consciousness
the intentions are
distinguishable, nonidentical
it's as if 
it is being spoken
by two different people
but it is- of the same soul
one who continually
chooses to stay
resurrect oneself
in a place of magnificence,
beauty, command, 
and authority
over his own inner world
 
i love you first
when uttered
from a place of need
feels confining and in pieces
shattering, toxic
but to the one 
who speaks those words
from a place of wholeness
its impact can be felt
even has the capablity
to plant good seeds 
make others feel empowered
so dear, it's up to you
how you'd say it
to your brother
and from which state
you'd like to interact 
with the world.

I don't use those words in that order
but I mean them in that way--toward all who
speak the singular and mean the plural.

It's not a competition who loves who first. I think you size that up nicely at the end. Leaving it up to the lover to decide how love should be shown.

A thought-provoking poem that is worthy of and indeed necessitates more than a single reading. Well done, audrine. Love, peace, and best wishes to you,

Regis. 🙏🌸🦋🌳💚🌲🍂

An interesting exploration of meaning, from different points of view, on the same theme. Well done.

Bearing of the soul piece of writing. Takes courage to lay it all out there. Such a phrase you've explored: i love you first. A piece of wording that affords multiple interpretations, a challenge I look for in free-form poetry. Well done.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
