Love…
…is more than one plus one equals two. When love is true and real, two together are amplified far beyond what they would otherwise be separated.
Canadian poet, novelist and journalist Doug Fetherling
Your absence
has not taught
me to be alone,
it merely
has shown
that when
together
we cast a
single shadow
on the wall.
Love…
…makes me imagine what my mind care barely comprehend; what my spirit knows but has no knowledge where the certainty comes from. In the light of love pieces of my heart return I was barely aware were missing.
Nineteenth century English romantic poet John Keats
I almost wish
we were
butterflies
and liv’d
but three summer days;
three such days
with you
I could fill
with more delight
than fifty
common years
could ever contain.
Love…
… honest and true makes one far more than he or she is without it. It expands dreams, heightens desire, strengthens endurance and enriches possibility. Love is a spark in the heart that empowers the soul.
British philosopher and Nobel prize winner Bertrand Russell
If love
is to bring
all the good
of which
it is capable,
it must be
free,
generous,
unrestrained
and wholehearted.
Love…
…builds anticipation to get home and see you again. When a week has separated us, the first moment together again is sweet and magical.
From a song by “Owl City” (Adam Young)
… I look
at my hands
and feel sad.
Because
the spaces
between
my fingers
are right where
yours
fit perfectly.”
Love…
… I have known from you helped me feel safe enough for my hesitant heart to awaken. I learned my pulse still could race and my soul could still shake with desire.
From “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare
Doubt thou
the stars are fire;
Doubt that
the sun doth move;
Doubt truth
to be a liar;
But never doubt
I love.
Love…
… multiples joy. When something really good happens to me it feels incomplete until I get to share it with you.
American Poet J. Russell Morrison
There is nothing
more wonderful
in the world
than the feeling
you get from sharing,
and there is no
greater happiness
than the warmth
you get from loving.
Love…
…is fertile soil for hope and belief. Upon such things trust can thrive. With you it’s easier than ever before to entrust my deepest thoughts and most profound feelings.
American writer and poet Jamie Delere
I trust you
with my secrets,
and you now know
that you can trust me
with yours.
This sharing…
This special sharing…
is one of the nicest dimensions
my life has ever known.
Love…
…is in its highest form when passion simmers down and loving kindness takes the lead. Until lovers become a friends what is shared is fragile like glass and easily broken.
American composer, performer and filmmaker Meredith Monk
That inner voice
has both gentleness
and clarity.
So to get to authenticity,
you really keep going
down to the bone,
to the honesty,
and the inevitability
of something.
Love…
… is receiving beautiful words from the one with a uniquely special place in my heart: I will never abandon you. No matter what path our relationship takes. I believe to my core that you will never be mean to me. You enrich my life and are an extraordinary person that I am privileged to be close to – heart, mind and soul.
Found on-line by an anonymous author
If someone
would ask me
what a beautiful
life means,
I would lean
my head
on your shoulder,
hold you
close to me
and answer
with a smile,
“Like this.”
Love…
…fills the soul with hope; the heart with possibility; the spirit with faith; and the mind with optimism. It is the stuff dreams can be made of.
From “Love Is the Stuff that Dreams Are Made of” by Caroline Blosser
Love
is not a sentence
or a paragraph.
It’s more like
a cello…
in a single note
resoundingly sings
all the truths
of this strange existence.
