Gentle Nudging at My Soul

I love…
…feeling romance in my heart again. It has touched me deeply with its sparkle of hope. Come what may I am grateful to know I still have the ability to fall in love. Thank you for showing me how.

From “Falling In Love Again’ by Alek House
writing-love-edit1I’d crept into the deepest darkest place,
Where life and love no longer saw my face.
My heart was cold, my very soul was dead.
My only solace, memories in my head.
You came to me and caught me unaware,
And unprepared, I fell into your lair.
I struggled as you crawled into my mind,
Afraid of what your loving me might find.
And as I stayed resistant to your touch
You never turned away, instead t’was such
an oh so gentle nudging at my soul
that woke me with your ever sweet cajole.

As Long…

My Dearest…
As long as you want me I will faithfully be by your side. As long as you need me I will always gladly be close by. As long as the sun rises and the wind blows I will love you.

Grateful Prisoner

My Darling…
With no effort beyond just being yourself, you captured my attention and affection. I have become your grateful prisoner who hopes to serve out a complete life sentence by your side.

From “Love You Will All My Heart” by Evans, Mayo and Shanks
Couple-in-handcuffs EDITI can feel you watchin’,
I can feel your eyes on me,
I can hear you whisper
and I just get so weak;
But I’m a little bit scared.
it’s been a long time
Since I let my guard down
and let someone inside.
You don’t need to wonder
‘Cause I knew from the start
I was gonna love you
with all my heart.

Better Than my Dreams

My Darling…
My first thought this morning was of you. I woke up dreaming we had gotten married. A moment later I realized you were in bed beside me and there was a wedding ring on my finger. Reality has become better than my dreams.

The Way You Hold Me

My Love…
I miss you when I travel but coming home to you makes up for it. Our first embrace after we’ve been apart makes my heart beat faster and my head swim. The way you hold me then says more than words ever could.

Brazilian Novelist, Lyricist and Musician Paulo Coelho

heart that
the fear
of suffering
is worse
than the
suffering
itself.
And no heart
has ever
suffered
when it goes
in search
of its dream.

My Everything

My Love…
You are my best friend, my shoulder to lean on, the one person I know I can count on. You’re the love of my life, you’re my one and only, you’re my everything. Sharing life with you is the sweetest thing I’ve ever known.

Locked In Embrace

My Darling…
I love when we hug how our bodies fit together. From head to foot there’s barely an inch where your and my form does not make contact when we are locked in embrace.

that when

him her head
would rest

his breath
lightly blowing
her hair and

Wonderfully Blessed

My Love…
From time to time I am overtaken by a feeling of how wonderfully blessed I am to have you in my life. Everything is so different since we fell in love. Even at the most difficult moments I cherish every second of being loved by you.

Through Your Hands

My Love…
Having your love and devotion is more wealth that I dared ever imagine might be mine. Money, gold and diamonds seem so paltry in comparison to the riches love has brought. God touches me through your hands.

French Romantic movement poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo
Holding handsI met in the street
a very poor
young man
who was in love.
His hat was old,
his coat worn,
his cloak was out
at the elbows,
the water passed
through his shoes —
and the stars
through his soul.

A Step Without Feet

My love…
My heart soars higher than ever before. My mind sees into what was previously obscured. Life has never meant more to me nor have I ever been so certain I could give it up to save someone if necessary. You are that ‘someone’.

13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic known as Rumi
dawns-necklaceThis is love:
to fly toward
a secret sky,
to cause a
hundred veils
to fall each
moment.
First to
let go
of life.
Finally,
to take
a step
without
feet.
