Boundaries of love - by Ameerah Abdulsalam

In love's sacred bond, where hearts entwine,A delicate dance, of give and take, is divine.Mutual consent, the guiding light,That illuminates, the darkest night. But where do we draw, the line in the sand?What secrets are kept, in this intimate land?Are there limits, to what we can do?Or is it just consent, that sees us through?<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG_2879.jpeg"/> Some say, "yes, it's enough," to navigate the night,But others whisper, "no, we need more light."For in the shadows, lark dangers lide,And consent, can be, a fragile, fleeting guide. In Nigeria's culture, traditions play a part,Shaping views on sex, and the marital heart.Some say, "respect the norms," and keep it sacred,While others say, "love is love," and let it be unchained.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG_2881.jpeg"/> The Bible speaks of love, and mutual care,1 Corinthians 7:5, a guiding scripture to share.Spouses shouldn't deprive, except by mutual consent,A balance of desire, and respect that's meant. The Quran speaks of love's gentle might,Surah Ar-Rum, 30:21, a guiding light."And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them..."A bond of love, mercy, and peace, a divine fate.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG_2883.jpeg"/> In this dance of love, we search for the key,To unlock our hearts, and set our souls free.Communication is vital, trust is the base,For a love that's healthy, and a relationship in pace. We weave through cultures, and societal threads,Where love's expression varies, like morning bread.Some hands hold tight, through trials and strife,While others let go, and find a different life.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG_2882.jpeg"/> In cities bustling, and villages quiet,Love's complexities, we all must decipher.From Lagos streets, to Abuja's heights,Love's a journey, through day and night. We question, we wonder, we seek to know,How to balance freedom, with love's gentle flow.Is it in the giving, or the receiving too?Or is it in the trust, that our hearts pursue?<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG_2887.jpeg"/> Some nights, we'll stumble, some days, we'll fall,But love's resilience, helps us stand tall.For marriage is a journey, a partnership divine,Where mutual consent, and love entwine. Through laughter, tears, joy, and pain,Love's a canvas, where we paint our name.With every stroke, we add to the art,A masterpiece, of love, in every heart.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG_2884.jpeg"/> So let us talk, and listen too,To the whispers, of our hearts, so true.For in the space, where love and trust reside,We'll find the balance, that our hearts abide. In the end, it's not just about the sex,But the love, intimacy, respect, and trust that's a fact.For marriage is a journey, a partnership divine,Where mutual consent, and love entwine.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG_2885.jpeg"/> Through seasons changing, and years that pass,Love remains, a constant, in every class.It's in the little things, and the big too,A love that's real, is a love that's true. So here's to love, in all its forms,A flame that burns, and forever warms.May we find our way, through the twists and turns,And may our love and intimacy,be the light that yearns.
