Love …
…usually arrives unpredictably like a rain shower. No matter how much you try to anticipate its arrival, you don’t really know it has begun until love is upon you.
Written by an unknown/anonymous writer
Right now
someone
you haven’t
met is out
there
wondering
what it
would be
like to
meet someone
like you.

I love…
…how you get goose bumps and shutter with delight when I kiss and nibble on your shoulder. Feeling you fills me with sweetness and delight.
From song “Do You Long For Me Tenderly by Elsa Schieder
do you long for me tenderly
do you long for my embrace
do you long for me tenderly
do you long to touch softly
your palm to my face
do you long to hold me
do you long to caress
do you long to love me
with tenderness

Love…
…is never the real reason for sorrow and unhappiness. Love itself is always pure, without corruption and eternally filled with gladness. It is only human thought, feeling and action that can make love into anything else.
American author and motivation speaker Leo Buscaglia
Love is always
bestowed
as a gift;
freely,
willingly,
and without
expectation…
We don’t love
to be loved;
we love to love.

Love…
…perceived as only a smooth path is make-believe. It is overcoming the “downs” of loving that make the “ups” more and more lofty with time. Love that survives long-term is brightly polished by adversities overcome.
From “Letters to a Young Poet” by Austrian writer Ranier Maria Rilke
…only someone who
is ready for everything,
who doesn’t exclude
any experience,
even the most
incomprehensible,
will live the relationship
with another person
as something alive
and will himself sound
the depths of his own being.

Love…
…puts color into what is drab; life into what is barren; joy into what is empty. Love is the difference between a life endured and a life lived well.
Playwright, novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner Thornton Wilder
There is
a land of
the living
and a land
of the dead
and the bridge
is love,
the only
survival,
the only
meaning.

Love…
…sends no advance warning nor does it knock on the door of the heart before entering. It is a surprise guest that moves in and takes up residence without notice. Love is predictable only in its unpredictable arrival.
From a poem by Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda
I love you without
knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly,
without complexities or pride;
so I love you because
I know no other way than this:
where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand
on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes
close as I fall asleep.

Love…
…is like a firefly blinking, giving its light and leading you toward it. If you’re lucky you can catch it. If you are very lucky you won’t have to. Love will come land on you.
Little is known about the writer, Timothy Oliveira
There are two kinds of sparks,
the one that goes off
with a hitch like a match,
but it burns quickly.
The other is the kind
that needs time,
but when
the flame strikes…
it’s eternal,
don’t forget that.

Love…
…makes no logical sense. It requires believing faithfully in something intangible that carries immense inherent risk. Joy must be far greater than fear for love to flourish.
From “Vanishing Acts” by American writer Jodi Picoult
Love is not an equation,
it is not a contract,
and it is not
a happy ending.
Love is the slate
under the chalk,
the ground
that buildings rise,
and the oxygen in the air.
It is the place
you come back to,
no matter
where your headed.

Love…
…means to give everything, lose one’s self in another and later unexpectedly find it all returned but made better. When there is no risk too great, nothing too valuable to give and your life itself would seem fair payment, the price will have been paid that sets one free to love.
American actress, Katherine Hepburn
Love
has
nothing
to do
with what
you are
expecting
to get,
only
with what
you are
expecting
to give,
which is
everything.

Love…
… is an eternal component of nature; a force strong like Earth, Air, Fire, and Water
and sometimes stronger than all four classical elements combined. Love is the fifth fundamental power on which everything is based.
From “Guitar Highway Rose” by New Zealander Brigid Lowry
…they do not kiss
but they both want to
instead their feet touch
and so do their arms
it is electric magic
their tiny arm hairs tingling
happily lying together
the sun warming them
watching sky through
green-leafed gum branch
close enough to hear
each other breathe
sweet togetherness
this lazy lying down
dance of love.
