There Will Be A Time

Love…
… says we should commit the perfect crime. I’ll steal your heart and you’ll steal mine. Then we’ll make a perfect getaway together and live the life we’ve only dared dream of.

“A Time For Us” by a writer unknown
thinking of youJust like the sun
goes down at night.
Just like the moon
and stars come out
to light up the sky.
Just like every spring
has gloomy days
full of thunderous rain
before new flowers bloom.
Just like the river
travels long rough miles
through cities and towns just to
flow into the sea for eternity.
There will be a time for us.

Never Dies

Love…
…continues immemorial. Like a light shined into the heavens love goes on and on, a continuum extended far beyond ability to comprehend or know. Love never dies.

British author of 17th century literature, Aphra Behn
shooting-star editAs love
is the most noble
and divine passion
of the soul,
so is it that to which
we may justly attribute
all the real
satisfactions of life,
and without it,
man is unfinished,
and unhappy.

All I Have

Love…
…told me to stop anticipating her to come calling. Love said, when you expect me no more and your yearning subsides is when I will bring the one you want, need and dream of.

“It’s All I Have To Bring Today ” American Poet Emily Dickinson
man-waitinG EDITIt’s all I have to bring today –
This,
and my heart beside –
This,
and my heart,
and all the fields –
And all the meadows wide –
Be sure you count –
should I forget
Someone the sum could tell –
This,
and my heart,
and all the Bees
Which in the clover dwell.

As Food Is To the Body

Love…
…can paint full color over monochrome and drown self-doubt with belief. It can replace frail vulnerability with strength and restless thought with clarity of purpose. Love is the re-shaper of lost hope and restorer of faded faith. As food is to the body, love is to the soul.

“He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven” by William Butler Yeats
Notebook and Paper HeartHad I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I,
being poor,
have only dreams;
I have spread my dreams
under your feet;
Tread softly
because you tread
on my dreams.

Even Gravity Is Weakened

Love…
…does not require the focus of the heart to be present to be strong and lasting. Mature and secure love lasts whether together or not. The willingness to love from a distance shows love’s greatest depth.

“The Physics of Love” by Charles Brasch
love-is-blind-21645579The mutual magnetism of love
Nullifies every other force
That acts upon two infected bodies.
Even gravity is weakened as
They leap obstacles,
ride on the commonest occasions
Six inches above the unbelieving ground.

What It Is For Me

Love…
…is this swelling feeling in my chest when I think of you; it is the sparkle in my soul when I recall spending time with you; it is an inexplicable knowing no one will ever touch me like you; it’s an emotional force stronger than any other I’ve known.

Dialogue from the Fox Network T.V. show “The OC”
romance4 editI don’t pretend to know
what love is for everyone,
but I can tell you what it is for me;
love is knowing all about someone,
and still wanting to be with them
more than any other person,
love is trusting them enough
to tell them everything
about yourself, including
the things you might be ashamed of,
love is feeling comfortable
and safe with someone,
but still getting weak knees
when they walk into a room
and smile at you.

King and Queen of All Emotions

Love…
… has no envy of other emotions. It is King and Queen of all feelings. Hate has no chance to survive in its presence. Selfishness melts away. Love is pure truth invisible; absolute power unseen.

Irish writer and poet Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde
couple shadowThe consciousness
of loving
and being loved
brings a warmth
and richness
to life
that
nothing
else
can
bring.

Post #500: More Than I Am

Love…
…is the surprise of coming home and finding a card you left neatly tucked by my front door. Reading your words of fondness for me exceed what I can see in myself, yet reading them makes me want to be more than I am.

13th-century Persian Muslim poet and Sufi mystic, Rumi
reading cardYour task is
not to seek
for love,
but merely
to seek
and find
all the barriers
within
yourself
that you have
built against it.

You Feel Like Home

Love…
…shows its depth long after the initial nervousness and tentative passion of love’s beginning. It is what remains when the season takes away the easy blossoms and obvious greenery. The roots that survive on the coldest of days is where love finds its greatest power.

Taken from an untitled poem by an author unknown
old couple walking awayYou feel like home to me;
With your knowing smile,
You can put me at ease.
You feel like home to me;
A safe and peaceful place,
Where I can relax and be free.
You feel like home to me;
The warm and gentle comfort,
Of all familiar things.

Seems Somehow Possible

Love…
…brings me strength and solace whenever my thoughts are focused in your direction. I doubt less. I hope more. My imagination is richer; inspiration grander. Even the near impossible seems somehow possible.

From Winnie The Pooh, the fictional bear created by A. A. Milne
woman and manIf there
ever comes
a day
when we
can’t be
together,
keep me
in your
heart
I’ll stay
there
forever.
