Love…
…is the stuff that makes a difficult morning easier to bear; sickness quicker to recover from; smiles to be more prevalent; and contentment to be a closer ally.
American poet and writer Margaret Abigail Walker Alexander
Love
stretches
your
heart
and
makes
you
big
inside.
Love…
…is frequently more evident in what is unspoken than what is said. It only makes sense that something so grand, meaningful and precious as love is impossible to be accurately described or expressed fully in words.
“Hearing Love” by an author unknown
There are things
you would love to hear
that you would never hear
from the person whom
you would like
to hear them from;
but do not be so deaf
as not to hear it
from the one
who says it
from his heart.

Love…
…is truest in simple things like a smile when one enters a room and sees the other; eyes momentarily locked with love spoken plainly without a single word being uttered.
From “A Man’s Requirements” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Love me Sweet, with all thou art,
Feeling, thinking, seeing;
Love me in the lightest part,
Love me in full being.
Love me with thine open youth
In its frank surrender;
With the vowing of thy mouth,
With its silence tender.
Love me with thy voice, that turns
Sudden faint above me;
Love me with thy blush that burns
When I murmur Love me!
Love…
…is the strongest energy on Earth. Nothing can move mountains or soothe a savage as well; nor inspire as it can; nor make one feel as safe and secure. Love is radiant warmth to the heart as the sun is to the body.
Taken from a thought by American poet 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.
No one else can
do it for you.
Love…
…is a confounding puzzle; a miraculous riddle; an eternal enigma. Yet to thrive the soul must have it. Love: so necessary, so emotionally dangerous and so worth the risk.
From “I Ching”, the Chinese “Book of Changes”
When
two people
are at one
in their
inmost hearts,
they shatter even
the strength
of iron
or of bronze.
Love…
…abounds in the simplest things and needs no extravagant expressions. A quick glance’s eye contact, a brief touch of our hands or a simple meal we made together are riches stored in my heart.
From “What I Love About You…” by Averil Binetti
The sparkle in your eye,
The warmth of your skin.
Your breath on my neck,
That quivers within.
The touch of your hand,
The smell of your hair.
The kindness in your smile,
That strength in your stare.
Your kiss on my lips,
Your body near mine.
The stroke of your touch,
That feeling inside.
Love…
…knows no master. It is the sole sovereign of a heart. Willingly one becomes its captive and gladly serves its needs. No bondage is more sought after. No chains are more happily received.
Taken from a poem by an author unknown
The chains
of a heart
do solely bind
each other’s souls
for all of time.
The chains
are strong
and will
never break;
my hand,
my heart,
my soul
to take.
Love…
…more than anything makes one sure of their feelings. Even with uncertainty about being loved in return, a heart filled with adoration renders its owner unable to hear encouragement or advice about the subject of their love. Love is not only blind, but it’s deaf as well.
From “An English Woman’s Love Letters” by Laurence Housman
When I think of you
I never question
whether what I think
would be true or false
in the eyes of others.
All that concerns you
seems to go on a different place
where evidence
has no meaning or existence…
Love…
…cannot be bought or stolen or given. It cannot be avoided or denied. Love is the beautiful, wonderful, mysterious mortar that binds two souls together.
Created by a writer unknown
Do what makes you
Happy.
Be with who makes you
Smile.
Laugh as much as you
Breathe
and Love as long as you
Live.
Love…
…is expressed most fully through the senses. I know it’s meaning well when we hesitate for a long hug when time becomes irrelevant and unmeasured.
“Love Is” by James Browning
Love is intangible,
yet substantial.
Love is invisible,
yet invincible.
Love is mysterious,
yet absolute reality.
Love is unnecessary,
yet there is no life without it.
Through my heart’s fascination with you
the breadth and pinnacle of love
unfolds in ways before unknown.
