My Rainbow

Love…
…keeps you close in mind and heart. Although I can no longer reach out and touch you, I feel you close by. As long as I live your life will continue. Long ago I ceased to be able to have any boundary between who I was and am now because of you.

My Heart Became Tuned

Love…
… teaches difficult lessons. Had love only found me once before, I would not have been adequately taught how to love you to the best of my ability. It was in loving and losing, in trial and failure that my heart became tuned to love you at its best.

Life After Life

Love…
…for you felt familiar from moment I began to fall for you. It didn’t feel like a new spark, but rather a dormant one I had been carrying my whole life. A sleeping ember was only waiting for me to meet you so it could be awakened to set fire in my heart.

Indelibly Stamped

Love…
…was “sugar” to my Grandmother when she was kissed on the cheek. Her smile when one of us kids “gave her some sugar” is indelibly stamped upon my heart. I feel like she must have when you kiss me on my forehead.

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.

In Love or Wants to Be

Love…
…is of the greatest value of anything on Earth. Those lucky enough to have it should cherish the subject of their feelings with their complete presence. With or without a lover the hope of love stirs in all. Everyone is in love or wants to be.

I Day Dream of You

Love…
…oh, my love of long ago, please don’t select your words cautiously or second guess sharing your feelings. You are there. I am here. That’s where life placed us. Our real and true selves are the only gifts we have to give one another.

From a poem titled “Daydream” by Cassie McNair
DaydreamDust-slider-700x466EDITWhenever I day dream,
and day dream I do,
in my secret garden,
I day dream of you.
I day dream of you,
in a faraway land;
embracing me tight
and holding my hand.
Holding my hand,
and touching my face.
Just you and me,
in this peaceful place.

Until the End of Time

Love…
… taught me the day you stole my heart, I would always love you. Without a doubt that will always be true. My love for you will out live me for at least a hundred years; maybe two…

From the poem”Have I Ever Told You” by Gianella Ramirez
middleAgedCouple EDITHave I ever told you
When I stand still
I can hear the beating of your heart,
Beating along with mine?
Have I ever told you
When my arms feel empty
I hug myself and, somehow, I feel the warmth
Of your body embracing mine?
Have I ever told you
when I’m missing you
I close my eyes and in my mind
I’m safe in your arms?
Have I ever told you
No matter how this world separates us
We are still one person
Until the end of time?

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!!

Fired By A Passion New

Love…
…causes goose bumps every time we begin to kiss. My lips touching yours sets off a chain reaction within I can not explain, but accept openly as love deep and true fired by a passion new in its strength and vigor.

A poem titled “Peace” by Robert Byers
MarriageAmendmentinNorthCarolinaLike water
rushing down a hill
Laughing,
singing on its way
Like sunlight
over windowsill
Heralding
dawning of the day
Our love sprang
quickly into life
Growing stronger
as we went
And since you
said you’d be my wife
Evermore I’ll be content.
