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.

Things That Fall

Love…
…is like snow falling with no control except from the speed it falls with. Drifting to come to rest on a specific spot unknown until it lands, love like a snowflake finds a home.

The Richest Part

Love…
…sweet and tender is the pinnacle of affection. Even greater than the fire that passion can burn between two people, gentle tenderness is the richest part of loving and being loved.

Someone

Love…
…at its best brings contentment, strength and a sense of knowing more completely who you are. Many other feelings like self-doubt, uncertainty and disbelief sometimes pass for aspects of love but are most often only contaminants created by one’s own mind.

Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
waking up editFind someone who isn’t afraid
to admit that they miss you.
Someone who knows
that you are not perfect,
but treats you as if you are.
Someone whose biggest fear
is losing you.
One who gives their heart
completely.
Someone who says I love you
and means it.
Last but not the least,
find someone you wouldn’t mind
waking up with you
in the morning,
seeing your wrinkles
and your gray hair
but still falls in love
with you all over again.

So Rare

Love…
…begins as “like” and if it grows steady and sure, love takes firm root. It’s possible to love and not like someone, but rarely is this a happy union. A couple who loves and likes one another are true friends and committed lovers.

French romantic composer, Hector Berlioz
happy-coupleIt is so rare…
to find
a complete person,
with a soul,
a heart
and an imagination;
so rare for characters
as ardent and restless
as ours to meet
and to be matched
together,
that I hardly know how
to tell you what happiness
it gives me to know you.

Lovely To Be Silly

Love…
…to be happiest should have qualities that allow lovers to be foolish and silly like small children playing joyfully together without inhibition. The openness to naturally “be” without any worry about how each is perceiving the other: that’s true love.

Roman lyric poet Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus)
couple6Mix
a little
foolishness
with your
serious plans.
It is lovely
to be silly
at the
right
moment.

Nothing More Valuable

Love…
… does not spoil or have an expiration date. It may allowed to fade away, be ill-attended or simply fall down forgotten, but it is never useless. Long or short, lasting or temporary, there is nothing more valuable than loving and being loved.

English novelist and poet Emily Brontë (1818-1848)
LIONS EDITWhatever
our
souls
are
made
of,
his
and
mine
are
the
same.

Like a Newly Lighted Sun

Love…
…like gravity, pulls me toward you. I am helpless to withstand its force. What draws me in your direction is centered in my heart and glows brightly like a newly lighted sun.

Quote from unknown writer, Philippos Aristotelous
heart-on-fire-screensaver-main-viewWhen you feel cold
and warm at the same time,
when you read over the same line
for the tenth time,
when your heart and thoughts
somehow appear to rhyme,
and when a simple name
conquers your whole mind,
then you are
in deep trouble my friend…
you are in what they call, “love”.

Things I Cannot See or Prove

Love…
…is fun with you around Christmas time. For years I put the holidays and all the decorations of the season away in the attic. With you I have rediscovered it all again. With a lighthearted childlike openness there is belief again in things I cannot see or prove.

Attributed to fictional character Kagirinai Sora, writer unknown

dance in the rain;
cherish the moment
ignore the pain.

Hastens My Heart

Love…
…brings comfort that soothes; consolation that calms; reassurance that cheers; and encouragement that heartens. It is the oldest remedy known to human-kind and relieves pain and anguish today just as well as it did hundreds, even thousands of years ago.

American romantic writer, Robert Sexton
ancient-romeLong after
moments
of closeness
have passed,
A part of you
remains with me
And warms the places
your hands have touched
And hastens my heart
for your return.
