Love…
…grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.(Elbert Hubbard)
Hungarian-born American composer Sigmund Romberg
A
love
song
is
just
a
caress
set
to
music.
love expressed simply
Above All Things
Love…
…narrows space and lessens burdens. It brightens day and enraptures night. Love knows no boundary, specific language or government. It is above all things created by humankind.
Written by a writer unknown/anonymous
When
I
am
with
you,
the
only
place
I
want
to
be
is
closer.
Laughter Nourishes the Soul
Love…
…including laughter nourishes the soul best. Humorous moments like making funny faces, being silly, telling jokes, giggling, you walking around with my big shoes on your tiny feet, me acting crazy like a monkey and such, strengthen the spirit.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
The most
beautiful
thing is to
see a person
you love
smiling.
And even
more beautiful
is knowing
that you are
the reason
behind it.
Wonderful and Good
Love…
…can arrive with a force so full it almost knocks one off their feet. The feeling is one of awe, wonder and even fear about what is happening while knowing at the same time it is wonderful and good.
From “On the Grounds of Love’s Arrival by ‘Rex’
On the grounds of love’s arrival,
you’ve inspired me to sing.
I’m in tune to all the blessings,
through the comforts that you bring.
Now to welcome nature’s colors,
shining free within the light.
Morning skies above the setting,
glowing elegant, and bright.
On the grounds of love’s arrival,
I’m so moved by what I find.
Through the ways of clear reflections,
songs of hope to be refined.
Well complete within each moment,
’cause our love’s a timeless dance.
Through your graceful, soft affections,
heartfelt soul you so enhance.
Your Heart Is Invested
Love…
… can’t be accurately explained. There are no words that tell the depth, size and strength of what is in my heart for you. It’s as impossible as trying to accurately describe the size of the universe. So, “I love you madly” will have to do.
Quote by an unknown anonymous writer
If you love
someone,
tell him or her.
Forget
about the rules
or the fear
or looking ridiculous.
What is
truly ridiculous
is passing up
on an opportunity
to tell someone
that your heart
is invested
in him or her.
Like Day and Night
Love…
…is pain. Love is joy. Hearts that have known the greatest joy can best bear the deepest pain. Hearts that have known the greatest pain are best able to know the heights of joy.
From ” Mend My Broken Heart” by Jacelyn Soriano
We cannot love a person
with an all accepting,
transcending and encompassing
love without being hurt somewhat,
without being disappointed,
without being failed
of our expectations.
We cannot love
without being broken,
yet we cannot continue
in love without
being stronger
than our brokenness.
Simple But True
Love…
…is neither impatient nor fleeting. Desire may cause one to try reaching through time, but desire is not love. A fancy of the heart will last only a season like a Spring tulip. But love, deep and true, is patient and lasting. It waits always.
From “Brushstrokes of a Gadfly” by E. A. Bucchianeri
Sweetheart, darling, dearest,
it was funny to think
that these endearments,
which used to sound
exceedingly sentimental
in movies and books,
now held great importance,
simple but true
verbal affirmations
of how they felt
for each other.
They were words
only the heart could hear
and understand,
words that could impart
entire pentameter sonnets
in their few, short syllables.
The Risk of It All
Love…
…is a complicated and compelling mystery; a story everyone wants to have a happy ending. All love brings happiness; some stay happy and many don’t. It is the risk of it all that makes loving and being loved so precious.
From “Lucky” by English Novelist, Jackie Collins
Falling in love is like
getting hit by a truck
and yet not being
mortally wounded;
Just sick to your stomach,
high one minute,
low the next.
Starving hungry
but unable to eat.
Hot, cold, forever horny,
full of hope and enthusiasm,
with momentary depressions
that wipe you out.
Never Dies
Love…
…continues immemorial. Like a light shined into the heavens love goes on and on, a continuum extended far beyond ability to comprehend or know. Love never dies.
British author of 17th century literature, Aphra Behn
As love
is the most noble
and divine passion
of the soul,
so is it that to which
we may justly attribute
all the real
satisfactions of life,
and without it,
man is unfinished,
and unhappy.
The Fifth Fundemental Power
Love…
… is an eternal component of nature; a force strong like Earth, Air, Fire, and Water and sometimes stronger than all four classical elements combined. Love is the fifth fundamental power on which everything is based.
From “Guitar Highway Rose” by New Zealander Brigid Lowry
…they do not kiss
but they both want to
instead their feet touch
and so do their arms
it is electric magic
their tiny arm hairs tingling
happily lying together
the sun warming them
watching sky through
green-leafed gum branch
close enough to hear
each other breathe
sweet togetherness
this lazy lying down
dance of love.
