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…
…can make someone you met only days ago feel familiar beyond explanation. It feels as if you fell in love with the person long before you met them, but did not know it yet.
Taken from “New Love” by Matthew Baldwin
From the first
lingering glance
Shared by a pair
of prying hearts
To the last
dizzying dance
Performed by two sets
of intricate
intimate
parts
I knew you.
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 illogical. It can’t be explained with formulas or mathematics. Do it anyway. Love is a mystery. It can’t be solved by reasoning or analysis. Do it anyway. Love is the spirit of God lighted within and needs no other explanation. Do it!
American writer of contemporary novels Jay Asher
If my love were an ocean,
there would be no more land.
If my love were a desert,
you would see only sand.
If my love were a star
late at night, only light.
And if my love could grow wings,
I’d be soaring in flight.
Love…
…has proof in a glance so quick others do not see. Even momentary eye contact between two in love can speak unmistakably in a way words could never express.
Poet and novelist C. Joybell C.
You only need
one man to love you.
But him to love you
free like a wildfire,
crazy like the moon,
always like tomorrow,
sudden like an inhale
and overcoming like the tides.
Love…
…retains its substance through distance and time when we are separated. To hear your voice I only have to close my eyes. Then I remember something sweet you said to me and feel the echoes of our last embrace.
American author and novelist Jacqueline Carey
There is no
fulfillment
that is
not made
sweeter
for the
prolonging
of desire.
Love…
…is gained by what we give; not what we get. However, over time the ‘give and get’ must have balance or else love gets smothered on one side. I’m grateful what we share is balanced on a fulcrum of genuine concern and understanding.
Author and Buddhist teacher Sharon Salzberg
To offer
our hearts
in faith means
recognizing
that our hearts
are worth something,
that we ourselves,
in our deepest
and truest nature,
are of value.
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…
…is portable and my feelings for you go where ever I go. All I have to do is close my eyes and think of you, then I am where you are.
American Writer Richard David Bach
If
you
want
to
be
with
someone
you
love,
aren’t
you
already
there?
