The Heart Speaks

Posted in Comfort of being loved, Little Things, Soft and Tender, tagged , , on April 11, 2013 |

The Heart Speaks

Love…
…brings a particular vocabulary of words used for little other purpose. They are are expressed in a soft, gentle tone used at no time except speaking to one’s beloved. The heart articulates feelings in a way the mind can never do by itself.

From “Brushstrokes of a Gadfly” by E. A. Bucchianeri
I love the way you call me babySweetheart, darling, dearest,
it was funny to think that
these endearments,
which used to sound
exceedingly sentimental
in movies and books,
now held great importance,
simple but true verbal affirmations
of how they felt for each other.
They were words only the heart
could hear and understand,
words that could impart
entire pentameter sonnets
in their few, short syllables.

All The More Loveable

Posted in Beauty of love, Comfort of being loved, Little Things, tagged , , on January 21, 2013 |

Love…
…is knowing someone down to their childish silliness and learning to love them for it. It’s seeing clearly what at first one wishes would change, then realizing it’s a piece of the beloved that unexpectedly makes the person all the more loveable.

American author, biographer and novelist Elizabeth M. Gilbert

fully seen
by somebody,
then,
and be
loved anyhow -
this is a human
offering
that can
border
on miraculous.

In My Wildest Dreams

Posted in Little Things, Magic of Love, Risk of Love, tagged , , on November 26, 2012 |

Love…
…brings hope of going forward with another; ageless ahead into time. Love expands horizons, widens dreams and causes the imagination to conjure thoughts a person would almost never think of alone.

From the song “Wildest Dreams” by Peter Bliss and Todd Cerney
In my wildest dreams,
you
always
play
the hero.
In my darkest
hour
of
night,
you rescue me,
you save my life.

Sharing the Same Air

Posted in Little Things, Soft and Tender, Value of love, tagged , , on November 16, 2012 |

Love…
…is a quiet evening on the couch together watching a movie: nothing fancy; no hot romance; no incredibly memorable moments, just you and me sharing the same air, enjoying each other’s presence and needing nothing else.

20th-century American writer Kurt Vonnegut
Enjoy the
little things
in life,
for one
day you’ll
look back
and realize
they were
big things.

Patiently Waits

Posted in Gift of Love, Little Things, Soft and Tender, tagged , , on November 15, 2012 |

Love…
…comes through the miles clearly when I’m away. It’s a soothing comfort that gives me strength to know someone cares, hopes for my safety and patiently waits for my return.

An anonymous quote by a writer unknown
Let
love
come
to you.
Be patient.
In
fairy tales
they don’t
find each
other until
the last page.

A Normal State

Posted in Little Things, Loving Care, Soft and Tender, tagged , , on November 8, 2012 |

Love…
…shows in the last smile you show just before you drive away, in the kiss you blow to me as you depart and in the afterglow of our last hug just before.

Russian physician, dramatist and author Anton Chekhov
Perhaps
the feelings
that we experience
when we are in love
represent
a normal state.
Being in love
shows a person
who he should be.

Emotional Stew

Posted in Little Things, Magic of Love, My Heart is Full, tagged , , on October 24, 2012 |

Love…
…brings together how you and I are alike and stirs them in with lots ways of we are different. The resulting emotional stew tastes new and different each time I taste the recipe love has made of us.

American writer and essayist Todd Ruthman
It is the things
in common
that make
relationships
enjoyable,
but it is
the little
differences
that make
them
interesting.

Fastened With Great Strength

Posted in Little Things, Power of Love, When you're away, tagged , , on October 18, 2012 |

Love…
…spans distance.  If you are across town or we are separated by thousands of miles, the same sun will shine on both of us; the same moon will be in the night sky we see. It’s a simple connection fastened with great strength.

American psychiatrist and author David Viscott
To
love
and
be
loved,
is to
feel
the
Sun
from
both
sides.

Something So Grand, Meaningful and Precious

Posted in Gift of Love, Little Things, My Heart is Full, tagged , , on October 14, 2012 |

Love…
…is frequently more evident in what is unspoken than what is said. It only makes sense that something so grand, meaningful and precious as love is impossible to be accurately described or expressed fully in words.

“Hearing Love” by an author unknown
There are things
you would love to hear
that you would never hear
from the person whom
you would like
to hear them from;
but do not be so deaf
as not to hear it
from the one
who says it
from his heart.

Crazy Like the Moon

Posted in Beauty of love, Little Things, Soft and Tender, tagged , , on September 26, 2012 |

Love…
…has proof in a glance so quick others do not see. Even momentary eye contact between two in love can speak unmistakably in a way words could never express.

Poet and novelist C. Joybell C.
You only need
one man to love you.
But him to love you
free like a wildfire,
crazy like the moon,
always like tomorrow,
sudden like an inhale
and overcoming like the tides.
