Shouts Its Name Silently

Love…
…is easy to spot when real and true. There’s an invisible glow about a loving couple in good and bad times. Such love can’t be faked. Genuine and faithful hearted love shouts it name silently.

From “The Name of the Wind” by American writer Patrick Rothfuss
slowdanceMy parents
danced together,
her head
on his chest.
Both had
their eyes closed.
They seemed so
perfectly content.
The image of them
gently swaying
to the music
is how
I picture love
in my mind
even after
all these years.

Art of Love

Love…
…has painted a masterpiece on my heart. Down to the smallest detail, cupid’s artistry is engraved upon my soul. All who witness you and I together know we are the art of love at its best.

Happy and In Love

Love…
…has broken the lock on my heart. You have slipped past all the barriers with hardly any effort and defeated my old heartaches. You have awakened me from sleep walking through life to find myself happy and in love.

A Great Catalyst

Love…
…brings strength to those it touches. Dreams light up in three dimensions. Hopes become likely to come true. Wishes materialize into tangible forms. Love is a great catalyst of increased happiness.

American amateur poet Christopher Poindexter

the way he put her
insecurities to sleep.
The way he dove into
her eyes and starved
all the fears
and tasted all the
dreams she kept
coiled beneath
her bones.

A Personal Choice

Love…
…makes no promises except it will exist as long as you believe in it. It is bound by no other force except that inside you. For love to stay or leave; to live or die; to grow or whither, is a personal choice no matter what the circumstances.

is for living,
in sunshine and rain.
Grace is love’s gift,
given new each day.
Love is forgiving,
second chances abound.
In life’s chaos love remains.
Love lives here.

Stand Straighter

Love…
…has remade me. I am changed. See my smile? It was never this large before. See my eyes? The sparkle wasn’t there previously. I stand straighter and walk with more confidence. I am not a different person, but a far better version.

Composer Ludwig van Beethoven to his Immortal Beloved

Endless Possibilities

Love…

…is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way.

From “Eat, Pray, Love…” by Elizabeth Gilbert

I love you.
I don’t care
if you need
to stay up crying
all night long,
I will stay with you.
There’s nothing
you can ever do
to lose my love.
I will protect you
until you die,
and after your death
I will still protect you.

Filled With Feelings

Love…
…only exists in the present. What is behind is only a memory of what the contents of the heart were then. Love promised in the future at best is only a promise we hope to keep. “I love you” means “now”, at this instant, I am filled with feelings for you.

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

Without a Need to Understand

Love…
…is fascinating but simple; priceless yet free. Two lovers paint unique emotional landscapes onto each others lives that no one but the two can see. Their love is a certain knowing without a need to understand.

From “The Magic Of Love” by Helen Steiner Rice
Couple-togetherLove is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks…
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can’t be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life’s sweet mystery!!
