Love…
… honest and true makes one far more than he or she is without it. It expands dreams, heightens desire, strengthens endurance and enriches possibility. Love is a spark in the heart that empowers the soul.
British philosopher and Nobel prize winner Bertrand Russell
If love
is to bring
all the good
of which
it is capable,
it must be
free,
generous,
unrestrained
and wholehearted.
Love…
… multiples joy. When something really good happens to me it feels incomplete until I get to share it with you.
American Poet J. Russell Morrison
There is nothing
more wonderful
in the world
than the feeling
you get from sharing,
and there is no
greater happiness
than the warmth
you get from loving.
Love…
…is fertile soil for hope and belief. Upon such things trust can thrive. With you it’s easier than ever before to entrust my deepest thoughts and most profound feelings.
American writer and poet Jamie Delere
I trust you
with my secrets,
and you now know
that you can trust me
with yours.
This sharing…
This special sharing…
is one of the nicest dimensions
my life has ever known.
Love…
…can be spoken loudly without a single word. It’s in the smile on your face and the sparkle in your eyes when you look at me one more time before you have to go.
“Song Is So Old” by American poet Hermann Hagedorn
Song is so old,
Love is so new —
Let me be still
And kneel to you.
Let me be still
And breathe no word,
Save what my warm blood
Sings unheard.
Let my warm blood
Sing low of you —
Song is so fair,
Love is so new!
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…
…requires courage! Over time everything changes and every life ends. It takes great bravery to love, knowing it might end any time but having faith it will last forever.
American writer and novelist Amy Tan
I am
like a falling star
who has finally
found her place
next to another
in a lovely constellation,
where we will sparkle
in the heavens
forever.
Love…
…is waking up with a simple thought about you, a remembered moment or a future anticipated one. Those morning thoughts, memory glimpses and wishes stir into kaleidoscope of hope for you in all its shades of past, present and future.
Scottish author, poet and minister George MacDonald
If instead
of a gem,
or even a flower,
we should
cast the gift
of a loving thought
into the heart
of a friend,
that would
be giving
as
the
angels
give.
Love…
…may come and stay, but always remains free to come or go. It can never be caged or contained nor made to happen or be bought. Love is elusive if chased yet never far away. It is a gift above all others.
English novelist and poet Charlotte Bronte
Happiness
unshared
can
scarcely
be
called
happiness;
it
has
no
taste.
Love…
…makes no sense. It is illogical, uncertain, tentative, hard and often sorrowful. Love makes sense. It is logical, certain, sure, easy and happy. Love is a beautiful paradox of opposites.
“I Know Not” by James Browning
Is it her smile or the curl of her hair?
I really can’t tell yet, I’m still unaware.
Why like iron to magnet am I pulled her way?
I have no logic about that which I can display.
It is tenderness of her hand’s gentle touch?
That answer I wish I knew so very much.
Why like an angel does she appear to me?
I know sure its true, yet no proof do I see.
Is it her kiss or body next to mine in a hug?
That certain answer is only known high above.
Why is she near yet so distant and far away?
Only guesses I offer, No answer can I say.
Is she going to be with me never or soon?
At near Noon or at night under a bright moon?
Is she running away from me, never to return?
I know not except for her I yearn and yearn.
Love…
…like wind, snow, sun and rain is a force of nature, but it’s the only one felt from the inside out as it blows, snows, burns and falls within.
Musician and poet 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.
