Love…
…radiates from the heart to captivate, enrapture and enchant till one becomes hypnotized by attraction. Then almost without thought one is pushed and pulled to the subject of affection.
English poet and playwright Robert Browning
Take
away
love
and
our
earth
is a
tomb.
Love…
…is almost always a surprise and rarely ever planned. It can begin to arrive without warning for one you’ve just met or grow ever so slowly within everyday association. The one certain thing about love is nothing about it is certain.
English Romantic poet John Keats to Fanny Brawne
I have been astonished
that men could die martyrs
for their religion –
I have shudder’d at it.
I shudder no more.
I could be martyr’d
for my religion.
Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
Love…
…fills the soul with hope; the heart with possibility; the spirit with faith; and the mind with optimism. It is the stuff dreams can be made of.
From “Love Is the Stuff that Dreams Are Made of” by Caroline Blosser
Love
is not a sentence
or a paragraph.
It’s more like
a cello…
in a single note
resoundingly sings
all the truths
of this strange existence.
Love…
…is life’s greatest gift. It lightens our load. It enlivens our emotions. It sweetens our days. It lifts us higher. It makes living more than just survival. Love is manna for the soul.
From “Your Song” by Ella Kay
You have filled my heart
with your laughter
and my life with your love.
Its notes are
compassion,
strength,
and patience
Its melody…
your smile.
Love…
…maintains it strength whether you are inches away or thousands of miles in the distance. There is a great comfort beyond explanation in loving and being loved.
British musician and philosopher John Lennon
There are two
basic motivating forces:
fear and love.
When we are afraid,
we pull back from life.
When we are in love,
we open to all
that life has to offer
with passion, excitement,
and acceptance.
Love…
…is portable and my feelings for you go where ever I go. All I have to do is close my eyes and think of you, then I am where you are.
American Writer Richard David Bach
If
you
want
to
be
with
someone
you
love,
aren’t
you
already
there?
Love…
…gives living dimension, depth and color. Without love, life is like having only near tasteless food to eat or like a rainbow in black and white.
From “A Life Without Love” by Rachel Fogle
A Sunset without a sun
is no sunset at all.
A life without love
is no life at all.
A rainbow without colors
is no rainbow at all.
And heart without feelings
is no human at all.
Love…
… is not as simple as “I love you”. Those three words are an absolutely true statement about what I feel, but there is much more. I like you. I respect you. I believe in you. I admire you. I trust you. And more…
French Romantic composer Hector Berlioz
It is so rare…
to find a complete person,
with a soul, a heart
and an imagination;
so rare for characters
as ardent and restless
as ours to meet
and to be matched together,
that I hardly know
how to tell you
what happiness
it gives me to know you.
Love…
…puts a shine on the dull and colors into the monotone. It is an invisible morsel tasted; a silent note heard; a duet sung in harmony by the heart and soul together.
From “The Zygote Chronicles” by Suzanne Finnamore.
I’ve felt
basically lucky
ever since,
almost every day
of my life.
That’s something
else love
should make
you feel.
It should
make you
feel fortunate.
Love…
…is seeing an instant sparkle in your eyes when I walk in a room and knowing my eyes are shining back at you in an instant connection.
Take from “Romantic Candlelight” By Shannon Albo
Love
is
like candlelight,
Glowing
in the dark
The warmness kindles
From a tiny spark.
