The Welcoming of Your Beloved

Love…
…is an opening of the heart; a welcoming of your beloved. Authentic loving is risky and the most potentially rewarding chance a person can take. You must be willing to get your heart-broken six times theN get up and try a seventh and more…

From a post found at http://yourconfessions.tumblr.com/
Its-My-Love-Story_20013EDIT2You fixed me.
A decade of
being broken,
without hope,
and you fixed me.
You said I was
amazing and beautiful.
More importantly,
you told me
that nothing
would ever stop you
from loving me.
You have no idea
how much
you mean to me.
I love you, so much
that I don’t even know
how to put it to words.

Life After Life

Love…
…for you felt familiar from moment I began to fall for you. It didn’t feel like a new spark, but rather a dormant one I had been carrying my whole life. A sleeping ember was only waiting for me to meet you so it could be awakened to set fire in my heart.

forms,

times,
in life after
life, in age
after age
forever.

Like A Never Dry Spring

Love…
…we share inspires me to be the best I can be; for you, for our family and for me. With you by my side I have become more than I thought possible. Like a never dry spring your love flows to me constantly.

Russian writer of novels, short stories, plays and essays Leo Tolstoy
Cold water in the handSeize
the moments
of happiness,
love
and
be loved!
That
is the
only
reality
in the
world,
all else
is folly.

Fired By A Passion New

Love…
…causes goose bumps every time we begin to kiss. My lips touching yours sets off a chain reaction within I can not explain, but accept openly as love deep and true fired by a passion new in its strength and vigor.

A poem titled “Peace” by Robert Byers
MarriageAmendmentinNorthCarolinaLike water
rushing down a hill
Laughing,
singing on its way
Like sunlight
over windowsill
Heralding
dawning of the day
Our love sprang
quickly into life
Growing stronger
as we went
And since you
said you’d be my wife
Evermore I’ll be content.

What I Want

Love…
…survives in spite of famine, tragedy and illness. When life is most challenging what is in the heart is spilled forth in the greatest measure. Love is neither remedy nor cure, but makes bitter medicine easier to swallow.

From the novel “Today Only” by American author D. Love
imagesCA3H0YPHWhat I want
from you
is simple.
I want
today only.
If it’s laughter,
I want it.
If it’s pain,
I want it.
Whatever
today holds,
as long as
the day
holds you,
I want it.

Right Now

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

someone
you haven’t
met is out
there
wondering
what it
would be
like to
meet someone
like you.

The Power To Love

Love…
…is a suit of armor for the spirit and a strengthener of will and fortitude. Love amplifies and makes better all that is good and it diminishes and makes the bad easier to bear.

American poet and greeting card producer Susan Polis Schutz
strengthlovegm1This 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 walk in the forest
and be a part of nature.
Take the power to control
your own life. No one else
can do it for you.
Take the power
to make your life happy.

Perfect To Me

Love…
…looks past most imperfection and focuses away from fault. The mind does the opposite. So, I don’t think about you much and choose instead to just feel you in my heart. There you are near perfect.

French poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo

happiness
of life
is the
conviction
that we
are loved,
loved for
ourselves,
or rather
loved
in spite
of ourselves.

A Crazy Love

Love…
…is crazy because I don’t even know when you became so important to me. It’s like watching a snowstorm. You see the flakes falling, but you don’t realize how they’re adding up. Then suddenly, your whole lawn is covered. All these little things have added up, and you’re my snowstorm.

From “The Greatest Love Story…” by British author Lucy Robinson

Like Oxygen

Love…
… makes a home without your presence seem ordinary and lacking. It is in your absence I realize the depth of my feelings and that you have become to my heart like oxygen is to my lungs.

From “In Your Eyes” by Tony DeLorger
kissing,lovers,love,couple,photography,portrait-94a7b550041643552fb032324be0de83_hYour eyes are the pathway to my soul,
and within you I see myself,
a reflection of my hopes, my dreams,
brought to me within the arms of love.
You presence to me is serenity,
the knowing that I am here,
that I exist and I am whole
within the silence of dreams.
Near is all I want to be,
for it is you who gives me hope…
