Like a Newly Lighted Sun

Love…
…like gravity, pulls me toward you. I am helpless to withstand its force. What draws me in your direction is centered in my heart and glows brightly like a newly lighted sun.

Quote from unknown writer, Philippos Aristotelous
heart-on-fire-screensaver-main-viewWhen you feel cold
and warm at the same time,
when you read over the same line
for the tenth time,
when your heart and thoughts
somehow appear to rhyme,
and when a simple name
conquers your whole mind,
then you are
in deep trouble my friend…
you are in what they call, “love”.

Earth Bound Angels

Love…
…arriving brings near sensory overload without a smidgen of advance warning. Senses are heightened; ordinary becomes extraordinary; simple becomes spectacular; common becomes astonishing and the whole experience feels heavenly.

Italian writer, actor and director Luciano de Crescenzo

each of us
angels with
only one
wing.
And
we can
only fly
embracing
each other.

The Same Sky

Love…
…adores the rain. It magnifies the senses while sitting quietly absorbing the sights and sounds of a thunderstorm. Through distance the same sky that brings the rain connects the two of us underneath it.

“Slake – A Rainy Love Poem” by British poet Holly Anne
Couple in the rain, no_ 3 8 X 10 oil on paperIt’s pouring outside.
It brings your licked-lip
smile to mind. Kind rain
plopping heavy to skin:
dusty to shimmering
in a summer storm
instant. Flash floods.
Drenched our shirts,
swayed our spines.
Flip-flopped toes curled
thirsty in puddles, drops
bounced and burst.
You were my dewy drink.
Washed me clean inside
and out. Slaked every
ache. It’s pouring outside.
It’s beautiful – so are you,
still. Tonight I am parched.

There Will Be A Time

Love…
… says we should commit the perfect crime. I’ll steal your heart and you’ll steal mine. Then we’ll make a perfect getaway together and live the life we’ve only dared dream of.

“A Time For Us” by a writer unknown
thinking of youJust like the sun
goes down at night.
Just like the moon
and stars come out
to light up the sky.
Just like every spring
has gloomy days
full of thunderous rain
before new flowers bloom.
Just like the river
travels long rough miles
through cities and towns just to
flow into the sea for eternity.
There will be a time for us.

Not a Moment Sooner or Later

Love…
…will sneak up and surprise you. When you least expect it is when love arrives. It doesn’t care about what is convenient or what your circumstances are. True love comes when it comes and not a moment sooner or later.

From “The Truth About Forever” by Sarah Dessen
first-loveThere is never
a time or place
for true love.
It happens
accidentally,
in a heartbeat,
in a single flashing,
throbbing moment.

Are You?

Love…
…hears the mind ask “are you the one?” The answer is already being sung in soft harmony between two hearts. You just have to get very still and quietly listen to hear what is being said.

From “Are you?” by British author Marie C. Stopes
abstract heartAre you
the body
of Love,
The incarnate dream?
Have you
hot power
in your limbs,
Swift fire
in your veins
To tighten
the chords
in my heart,
To make
quiver the reins?

Never Dies

Love…
…continues immemorial. Like a light shined into the heavens love goes on and on, a continuum extended far beyond ability to comprehend or know. Love never dies.

British author of 17th century literature, Aphra Behn
shooting-star editAs love
is the most noble
and divine passion
of the soul,
so is it that to which
we may justly attribute
all the real
satisfactions of life,
and without it,
man is unfinished,
and unhappy.

Love, True Love

Love…
…that fills the heart leaves no room for question. Uncertainty is a construct of the mind. True love doesn’t leave space for doubt. A filled heart laughs in ridicule when questioned.

From a letter by Victor Hugo in 1821 to Adele Foucher
a_heart_full_of_roses_by_fuchsphotoEDITWhen two souls,
which have sought each other for,
however long in the throng,
have finally found each other…
a union, fiery and pure
as they themselves are…
begins on earth
and continues forever in heaven.
This union is love, true love…
a religion, which deifies the loved one,
whose life comes
from devotion and passion,
and for which the greatest sacrifices
are the sweetest delights.
This is the love
which you inspire in me…

No Greater Gift

Love…
…is engraved on a heart that has known great love. Whether together or apart, separated by miles, years or even by death, no amount of effort can wipe away the inscription that love made. Life offers no greater gift.

Heartfelt quote by an anonymous author
you_light_up_my_heart_by_neonflamesFrom every human being
there rises a light
that reaches
straight to heaven.
And when two souls
that are destined
to be together
find each other,
their streams of light
flow together, and
a single brighter light
goes forth from
their united being.

All I Have

Love…
…told me to stop anticipating her to come calling. Love said, when you expect me no more and your yearning subsides is when I will bring the one you want, need and dream of.

“It’s All I Have To Bring Today ” American Poet Emily Dickinson
man-waitinG EDITIt’s all I have to bring today –
This,
and my heart beside –
This,
and my heart,
and all the fields –
And all the meadows wide –
Be sure you count –
should I forget
Someone the sum could tell –
This,
and my heart,
and all the Bees
Which in the clover dwell.
