Love…
…means I wish the best for you: the happiness you deserve, the contentment you desire, the peace you need and good health to enjoy them in. May what we share grow ever stronger and live long.
Native American chief, author, poet, and actor, Chief Dan George
May the stars
carry your sadness away,
May the flowers
fill your heart with beauty,
May hope
forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all,
may silence make you strong.
Love…
…IS a glance that freezes our gaze momentarily on one other; a sentence unfinished but completely understood by both; a quick kiss that resonates long after; the warmth of a hug that cools slowly. Such things find their meaning between two hearts enlivened.
From XVII of “100 Love Sonnets” by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda
I do not love you
as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations
the fire shoots off.
I love you without knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly,
without complexities or pride.
Love…
…comes when it is least expected and rarely arrives when it is yearned for most. At the time love seems most improbable someone appears and in a sweeping surprise captures your heart; just like you did mine.
By an anonymous/unknown author
Anyone
can catch
your eye, but
it takes
someone
special
to catch
your heart.
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.
Love…
…is a touch of your hand on mine, a smile on your face when our eyes make contact, standing close and feeling you near and so many little things that would not matter if we did not feel about each other as we do.
From “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind” by Deepak Chopra
Love
is considered
the most basic emotion
that human awareness can feel;
therefore,
it is the closest
to the source of life.
Love…
…is known when no words are spoken; felt when you are not near; seen when night is darkest black; smelled in a scentless room and tasted without need for flavor. It is within my sixth sense, the intuition of my heart, where love is known in its full dimensions.
“Come Slowly” by American poet Emily Dickinson
Come slowly, Eden
Lips unused to thee.
Bashful, sip thy jasmines,
As the fainting bee,
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums,
Counts his nectars, alights,
And is lost in balms!
I love…
…that the foundation of what we share is true friendship. Such a bond gives a firm footing for what we feel for each other. Such a love is not fleeting because it rests on solid ground.
From “Everything” by an on-line author pennamed ‘Ann Marie’
Just when I think I’ve lost my way
Something illuminates the dark
There you are leading the way
Love shining from your heart.
Your smile and laugh urge me on
And encourage me to be strong.
Your loving support helps me stand
When the road is rough and long.
I love…
…learning about you and coming to know more fully the person you are. Like a flower one must know you for a long time to see you fully in bloom.
Taken from “Falling in Love” by Freida Martinez
My love
blooms for you
like a flower in spring
like a piece of art
it’s a beautiful thing.
I hold to it gently
and feel its light glow
into my heart.
I love…
…that when I wake up in the morning a thought of you finds me soon after. Mentally I say “good morning” every time with hope the day is kind to you.
Contemporary Slovenian poet and artist Jaka Zeleznikar
It’s so easy,
To think about Love,
To Talk about Love,
To wish for Love,
But it’s not always easy,
To recognize Love,
Even when we hold it
In our hands.”
I love…
…better, deeper and more profoundly with age, yet with more trepidation and fear. While I am cautious beyond explanation I am grateful you got past my defenses and opened my heart to know love again.
By an anonymous author
To love
a person
is to learn
the song
that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them
when they
have forgotten.
