Love is the driving force behind everything that I do. This category captures my thoughts on love and the people that I share it with.

Polyamory

In many ways, I am love. Love is the dominant driving force behind my entire existence – in this life and beyond. It is the basis for my decision making process and the basis for every meaningful thing that I do. So, if you want to try to understand me, it helps to understand the way that I look at love.

Many people view romantic love as some limited and finite precious resource that they should reserve to share only with some special person. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but I personally cannot imagine limiting something as amazing as love in such a way.

For me, love is infinite, and I do mean literally infinite. No matter how much love I give, there is no drain on me. There is no depletion in my ability to love. There are many that I love, and several of these relationships have a romantic component to them. At the time of writing this, I currently have ten romantic lovers in my life, two of which are my wives. I also have some interests that have not developed into anything yet (and may not).

In addition to romantic love, I also share other forms of love with all of my lovers, and other forms still with many other people such as family and friends.

So, I identify myself as polyamorous. The actual meaning of the word is a bit different for every person you ask, but there is a common theme. At its core, it simply means “many loves”. It is the purest expression of love and trust between groups of people.

When I explain this to people, there are some common questions I tend to get in return from people who do not understand my way of love. So, let me try to address those here.

Q: How do you keep track of so many lovers?
A: I am genuinely interested in all of them. I care about them deeply, their lives, their desires, their problems and fears. It really doesn’t require effort to keep track of people when you genuinely care for them.

Q: How do you find the time for everyone?
A: Simply stated, I don’t. I have the same time limitations as any human while I am living this life. I honestly cannot devote as much time to any of my lovers as I would like to. However, if one of them needs me, they know they can call out to me and I will drop anything I am doing and go to them. We all understand that time is limited, and we focus on the time that we share rather than the time that we do not share. If I am only able to see one of my lovers once in a particular week, that moment together is what I will think of when my thoughts go to that person, not the fact that I only saw her once. Focusing on the positive rather than the negative puts us into a positive state of mind. Many times we spend our intimate time together in groups as many of my lovers are also lovers to each other. This helps greatly with time constraints.

Q: Don’t people get jealous?
A: Largely, no. Jealousy has no place in relationships that are built on love and trust. Jealousy stems from fear. Sure there are the rare occasions where two lovers in different places need me at the same time and I have to split my attention between them, and sometimes one or both of them might be upset that they are not getting my full focus. However, I would not go as far as to say they are jealous, except maybe in the most literal and trivial meaning of the word. We all understand that we have other lovers and we all respect and trust each other deeply. We each know that if someone cannot focus on us fully in a moment of time, that there is a good reason for it.

Q: Doesn’t the drama get to you?
A: What drama? I don’t get involved with people that create drama. A single person causing drama can hurt every single person that I am attached to. I would never willingly hurt the people that I love by subjecting them to that. All of my relationships are drama free. There may be external drama between my lovers and other people from time to time, but not internal drama between us – aside from the occasional (rare in my case) misunderstandings and hurt feelings that everyone in a relationship deals with at some point.

To My Loves

My loves are everything to me. Together, we are harmony and balance. For them I would do anything just to see a smile. It is hard for me to express in words what they mean to me.

To each of you I make this dedication. I will always try to:

  • Comfort you when you are distraught
  • Show you love when you are fearful
  • Protect you when there is danger
  • Listen to you when you need to talk
  • Make love to you when you are lustful
  • Learn from you when you have wisdom to share
  • Help you learn when there is knowledge that you seek
  • Be understanding when you act poorly out of fear
  • See all sides when there is a conflict
  • Tell you the truth even when it may hurt to hear it
  • Be there whenever you need me, for anything

My love for you is unconditional and never-ending.
I have you here, held close to me, wrapped protectively in my wings.

As I look into your eyes, I show you all of myself.
As I kiss you, I envelop you in my love.
As I press my nude body against yours, I connect with you on every level.
As I caress your skin, I share passion with you.
As my claws drag across you, I share pleasure and pain with you.
As my tail presses between your legs, I share lust with you.

With every breath, in every moment, I share love with you.
