Art of Love

Love…
…has painted a masterpiece on my heart. Down to the smallest detail, cupid’s artistry is engraved upon my soul. All who witness you and I together know we are the art of love at its best.

French writer, historian and philosopher Voltaire

Misty Rains Coming Softly

Love…
……overflows and pours out from me. My happiness is evident to anyone. I am profoundly and completely in love. After our years together, what I feel for you grows deeper and richer with each passing day.

Malagasy proverb from the island of Madagascar
px00195-9jpg-c170fbad5ca15d9cLet your
love
be
like
the
misty
rains,
coming
softly,
but
flooding
the
river.

The Common State

Love…
…takes two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned. Unrequited love is the common state that in comparison makes mutual and true love so valuable.

American story-teller and author Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)

the swiftest,
but it is
the slowest
of all growths.
No man or
woman really
knows what
perfect love is
until they have
been married
a quarter
of a century.

Two Halves

Love…
…arrived when you came into my life and I went crazy in sublime and wonderful ways. You in turn found our love to be the lion tamer you needed and had long searched for. Two halves of one whole, that’s you and me…

Quote by an obscure writer named Alexis Delp

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.

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.

My Heart Is Reborn

Love…
…is never the same day-to-day, just as clouds are unique in every morning sky. Knowing this, and expecting it, makes my love for you ever new and exciting. Each morning I wake in your arms my heart is reborn.

From “Starlet’s Run” by Romance and fiction writer Carla Hanna

You and You Alone

Love…
…has changed all my perceptions. With my eyes I see more beauty. With my nose I smell more delights. Hearing your voice soothes me. Speaking your name rouses my heart. I have yet to be able to intelligently describe the taste of your lips.

Irish novelist, short-story writer and poet George Moore
stolen senses IIThe hours I spend with you
I look upon as sort
of a perfumed garden,
a dim twilight,
and a fountain
singing to it.
You and you alone
make me feel
that I am alive.
Other men it is said
have seen angels,
but I have seen thee
and thou art enough.

Courage and Understanding

Love…
…is most lasting when served with equal measures of courage and understanding; courage to face the difficulties that will try to tear the lovers apart; understanding so those times don’t succeed.

Italian poet, journalist, novelist and composer Arrigo Boito
