Unpredictable Arrival

Love…
…sends no advance warning nor does it knock on the door of the heart before entering. It is a surprise guest that moves in and takes up residence without notice. Love is predictable only in its unpredictable arrival.

From a poem by Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda
tumblr_m5ku7c0NpF1qm2v88o1_500I love you without
knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly,
without complexities or pride;
so I love you because
I know no other way than this:
where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand
on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes
close as I fall asleep.

Above All Things

Love…
…narrows space and lessens burdens. It brightens day and enraptures night. Love knows no boundary, specific language or government. It is above all things created by humankind.

True and Deepest Love

Love…
…makes me unafraid with you. I’m at peace when I drift off to sleep with you next to me knowing that you’d protect me with all that you are, even to death if it was required. I would do the same for you without a second thought.

American drama critic and editor George Jean Nathan
9B6580E32ACFE821162F51A3C7C61A man reserves his true
and deepest love
not for the species
of woman
whose company
he finds himself
electrified and
enkindled,
but for that one
in whose company
he may feel
tenderly drowsy.

Safe Harbor

Love…
…creates a place of shelter within a loved ones heart. Nothing nor anyone can take away the safe harbor found there. Not distance, nor sickness or even death can destroy it.

From “A Life for a Life by English novelist and poet Dinah Craik
middle_age_coupleOh, the comfort;
the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person;
having neither to weigh thoughts
nor measure words,
but pouring them all right out,
just as they are,
chaff and grain together;
certain that a faithful hand
will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and then with the breath of kindness
blow the rest away.

Until Forever’s Gone

Love…
..brings great strength, comfort and a certain knowing that today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, always as my best friend, lover and forever soul mate.

From the song “Until Forever’s Gone” by Kenny Rogers
fireworksWith all my heart,
and all my soul,
I will love you
till the winds
don’t blow.
Until the oceans
turn to stone,
my love is yours
and yours alone.
My love is forever,
until forever’s gone.

Full Acceptance

Love…
…drives me to know only the person you truly are. Please do not change because you think you need to. It is the height and depth of the real you that I want in my heart; nothing else.

American teacher and writer Karen Casey, Ph.D.

loving
another
means
letting go
of all
expectations.
It means
full acceptance,
even celebration
of another’s
personhood.

Contents of the Heart

Love…
…satisfies shortage and satiates lack, not by making need disappear but by causing scarcity to matter less. The presence of love makes its receiver more complete and whole without anything but the contents of the heart changing.

A composite made from several versions written by unknown writers
??????????????????????????????????You are…
The peanut to my butter,
Water to my ocean,
Glaze on my donut,
Spring in my step,
Twinkle in my eye,
Blue in my sky,
Cherry on my sundae,
Flip to my flop,
Milk to my shake,
Sweet in my dreams,
Jewel on my crown,
Spring in my step,
And beat of my heart.

Fertile Ground

Love…
…runs when chased, but will catch you if you stop running from it. To grab for love creates a barrier against its arrival. To give up on love makes you no longer its possible destination. Letting go and keeping hope makes for fertile ground for love to grow in.

Quote by American writer Carl S. Avery
???????????????????????????????????????Love enables you
to put your
deepest feelings
and fears
in the palm
of your partner’s
hand, knowing
they will be
handled
with care.

Radiant Light Of Love

Love…
…bestows the strength to feel safe in surrender. Becoming stronger comes from a heart receiving what completes it: love. Fear and worry do not depart. Instead such shadows become small in the radiant light of love.

Poem by a writer unknown/anonymous
piggy back rideLAUGH
so hard that even
SORROW
smiles at you;
FIGHT
so strong that even
FATE
accepts defeat;
LOVE
so true that even
HATRED
walks out of the way;
and LIVE
life so well that even
DEATH
loves to see you exist.

Becomes Happily Lost

Love…
… will change lovers irrevocably. It bonds two people into a single entity with four arms, four legs, two minds, two hearts and one love. The knowing of where each ends and the other begins becomes happily lost.
