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.
By Eppie Lederer better know as columnist Ann Landers
If you have love
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.
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
Have you
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.
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
The 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.
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’
On 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.
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
This 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.
Love…
…can break through differences of culture and belief to bring people together who are very different. Nothing, including boundaries of countries, differences in speech, religion or economic position, can keep love from its intended destination.
From “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
Differences
of habit
and
language
are
nothing
at all if
our aims
are
identical
and our
hearts are
open.
Love…
…is worth everything. Put aside doubt and fear or it can’t get close. Only by fully opening yourself up to the possibility of heartbreak can love find a way into your heart and make a home there.
American fiction writer author and teacher Erica Jong
Love is everything
it’s cracked up to be.
That’s why people
are so cynical about it.
It really is
worth fighting for,
risking everything for.
And the trouble is,
if you don’t risk
everything,
you risk even more.
Love…
…brings a feeling like Spring after Winter. There is great hope of what is to come and everything appears more beautiful and filled with life. The arrival of love changes a person. They are never the same again.
From “The Reed of God” by Caryll Houselander
Most people know
the sheer wonder
that goes with
falling in love,
how not only does
everything in heaven
and earth become new,
but the lover himself
becomes new.
It is literally like
the sap rising
in the tree,
putting forth
new green
shoots of life.
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…
…is where almost all make mistakes before, if ever, getting it right. Some waste time in a bad relationships. Others marry the wrong person. Some learn what not to do by being mistreated… and so on. Such things are the threshing love does to make us ready.
From “Brushstrokes of a Gadfly” by E.A. Bucchianeri
Falling in love is very real,
but I used to shake my head
when people talked
about soul mates,
poor deluded individuals
grasping at some
supernatural ideal
not intended for mortals
but sounded pretty
in a poetry book.
Then, we met,
and everything changed,
the cynic has
become the converted,
the sceptic,
an ardent zealot.
