No Longer Separable

Love…
…can shine a brilliance so bright it blinds the heart. Such is the magic when two people become one. Dream and reality, hope and happening; wish and occurrence are no longer separable.

From “Love Song” by American writer Mary Carolyn Davies
flat,550x550,075,fAll the wishes
of my mind know
your name,
And the white desires
of my heart
They are acquainted
with you.
The cry of my body
for completeness,
That is a cry
to you.
My blood beats out
your name to me,
Unceasing, pitiless—
Your name,
your name.

Hold Dear Every Morsel

Love…
…is not easy, most often lasting for too short of a time. That makes it no less meaningful. There is no failure. Every bit of love felt and received matters. Hold dear every morsel for the precious gift it is.

American poet and blogger Coco J. Ginger
272 EDITI say this to you now:
I love you, with no beginning,
no end. I love you as you have
become an extra necessary
organ in my body.
I love you as only a girl
could love a boy.
Without fear.
Without expectations.
Wanting nothing in return,
except that you allow me
to keep you here in my heart,
that I may always know your strength,
your eyes, and your spirit
that gave me freedom and let me fly.

Nothing More…

Love…
…comes to those who still hope even though they’ve been disappointed; to those who still believe even though they’ve been betrayed; to those who still love even thought they’ve been hurt before.

By an obscure author known only as J.H. Li
sunset love !189062198_926b4aca9bThere is nothing
more painful
than seeing
someone
you love
loving
someone else.
But there is
nothing more
rewarding than
seeing two
people you love
loving each other.

Land of the Living

Love…
…puts color into what is drab; life into what is barren; joy into what is empty. Love is the difference between a life endured and a life lived well.

Playwright, novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner Thornton Wilder
love_blooms_roses-black-and-white-with-color-picture_2There is
a land of
the living
and a land
of the dead
and the bridge
is love,
the only
survival,
the only
meaning.

Perfect To Me

Love…
…looks past most imperfection and focuses away from fault. The mind does the opposite. So, I don’t think about you much and choose instead to just feel you in my heart. There you are near perfect.

French poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo
running_away_by_goodghost1980-d4fi5dhThe greatest
happiness
of life
is the
conviction
that we
are loved,
loved for
ourselves,
or rather
loved
in spite
of ourselves.

A Crazy Love

Love…
…is crazy because I don’t even know when you became so important to me. It’s like watching a snowstorm. You see the flakes falling, but you don’t realize how they’re adding up. Then suddenly, your whole lawn is covered. All these little things have added up, and you’re my snowstorm.

From “The Greatest Love Story…” by British author Lucy Robinson
74127_407130192697650_926796947_nI want you
to be with
someone
who really,
really
loves you.
A wild love!
A crazy love!
I want yours
to be the
greatest
love story
of all time!

As No Other Force

Love…
…stirs as no other force can. It is as if the heart was first created for loving and for moving blood through the body afterward.

Little is known about the author, Robert Tizon
4478208983_e51be2b2d1I would rather
have eyes that
cannot see;
ears that
cannot hear;
lips that
cannot speak,
than a heart
that cannot love.

A Single Shared Flame

Love…
…requires two kindred sparks to make a single shared flame. Over time each must fuel the other in some semblance of balance or their fire will flounder.

American clergyman and social reformer Henry Ward Beecher
Lovers-In-Flames-HD-Wallpaper EDIT02Love cannot
endure
indifference.
It needs to
be wanted.
Like a lamp,
it needs
to be fed
out of the oil
of another’s
heart,
or its flame
burns low.

Same Thing At the Same Time

Love…
…has me dreaming about you. Most every night there are moments I share with you while sleep has its grip on me. Some feel very real. I suspect you are dreaming the same thing at the same time I am.

Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
Dreaming_of_You_by_KaszmanIf the
only place
where I
could see
you was
in my
dreams,
I’d
sleep
forever.

From Top to Bottom

Love…
…enriches the soul and powers the heart with a stronger beat. From top to bottom, it hollows out a person to make room for itself. Whether high or low, love brings a depth of feeling known no other way.

American Teacher, Writer and Recovery Leader Karen Casey
_Lovers-in-a-Dangerous-Time-Directed-by-Mark-Hug-and-May-Charters-Truly loving
another means
letting go
of all
expectations.
It means
full
acceptance,
even
celebration
of another’s
personhood.
