The Richest Part

Love…
…sweet and tender is the pinnacle of affection. Even greater than the fire that passion can burn between two people, gentle tenderness is the richest part of loving and being loved.

Lebanese-American artist, poet and writer Kahlil Gibran

Grateful For the Surprise

Love…
…is alive sparkling within as sleep comes to find me, when I wake and through each day. As the mystery of “us” unfolds there is fear, but joy is stronger. You came to me unexpectedly, but I am deeply grateful for the surprise.

old-love editI will love you always.
When your hair is white,
I will still love you.
When the smooth softness
of youth is replaced
by the delicate softness of age,
I will still want you.
When your face is full of the lines
of every smile you have ever smiled,
of every surprise I have seen flash
through your eyes, when every tear
you have cried has left its mark
upon your face, I will treasure you
all the more, because I was there
to see it all. I will share your life
with you and I will love you
until my last breath.

Laughter Nourishes the Soul

Love…
…including laughter nourishes the soul best. Humorous moments like making funny faces, being silly, telling jokes, giggling, you walking around with my big shoes on your tiny feet, me acting crazy like a monkey and such, strengthen the spirit.

beautiful
thing is to
see a person
you love
smiling.
And even
more beautiful
is knowing
that you are
the reason
behind it.

When Romance Is New

Love…
…enhances the senses when romance is new. Colors appear brighter; touch is heightened; hearing is sensitive to the softest sigh; the smell of another becomes delicious and the taste of a kiss becomes bliss.

in your life
it can make up
for a great
many things
you lack.
If you don’t
have it,
no matter
what else
there is,
it’s not enough.

Ordinary Becomes Extraordinary

Love…
…is in the magic of a touch that causes a sweet shutter. It is in eye contact that lights up two faces. Love is in the softness of voice one speaks to the other with. Ordinary becomes extraordinary…

American author, columnist, and political activist Orson Scott
falling-in-love-feetLove shortens time,
changes the hours.
Love is invincible.
Many waters cannot
quench it
nor the floods drown.
The supreme happiness
of life is the conviction
that we are loved.

Only An Open Heart

Love…
…is nearby when one writes to the other “I will go to walk around the capital thinking about you and me… once hold hands… walking together here”. Only an open heart can recognize another open heart.

From “Undercover” by Beth Kephart

ever watched
a leaf
leave a tree?
It falls
upward first,
and then
it drifts
toward
the ground,
just as I
find myself
drifting
towards you.

Someone

Love…
…at its best brings contentment, strength and a sense of knowing more completely who you are. Many other feelings like self-doubt, uncertainty and disbelief sometimes pass for aspects of love but are most often only contaminants created by one’s own mind.

Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
waking up editFind someone who isn’t afraid
to admit that they miss you.
Someone who knows
that you are not perfect,
but treats you as if you are.
Someone whose biggest fear
is losing you.
One who gives their heart
completely.
Someone who says I love you
and means it.
Last but not the least,
find someone you wouldn’t mind
waking up with you
in the morning,
seeing your wrinkles
and your gray hair
but still falls in love
with you all over again.

Never the Same

Love…
…is shapeless, yet filled with substance. It is high and wide, but has no specific form. Love is always love, yet the experience of it is never the same for any two people.

Saying found randomly on searchquotes.com
new love rules editThe best kind of relationships
begin unexpectedly;
when you get
the astonished feeling
and everything happens
so suddenly.
That’s why
you don’t look for love.
It comes to you
just at the right time;
the time you never thought
it would have.

Wonderful and Good

Love…
…can arrive with a force so full it almost knocks one off their feet. The feeling is one of awe, wonder and even fear about what is happening while knowing at the same time it is wonderful and good.

From “On the Grounds of Love’s Arrival by ‘Rex’
newOn the grounds of love’s arrival,
you’ve inspired me to sing.
I’m in tune to all the blessings,
through the comforts that you bring.
Now to welcome nature’s colors,
shining free within the light.
Morning skies above the setting,
glowing elegant, and bright.
On the grounds of love’s arrival,
I’m so moved by what I find.
Through the ways of clear reflections,
songs of hope to be refined.
Well complete within each moment,
’cause our love’s a timeless dance.
Through your graceful, soft affections,
heartfelt soul you so enhance.

Take the Power

Love…
…lives within each person like a seed needing only the coaxing of a kindred heart to sprout and grow. And like most things in nature love is highly resilient and can withstand great hardship and adversity.

American poet and greeting card maker Susan Polis Schutz
white on the beachThis life is yours.
Take the power
to choose what you
want to do
and do it well.
Take the power
to love what you
want in life
and love it honestly.
Take the power
To make your life
happy.
