Neither Created Nor Destroyed.

Love…
…lasts. It endures. It simply is. Like all energy, that of the heart can be neither created nor destroyed. With its wonder and beauty, love can only morph, grow or change form.

“Ebb Tide” by American poet Brian Burke
light-through-clouds-2You’re the gentle breeze
that soothes my heart
And through my soul
your ripples pour.
Within my mind
the storm
clouds part
As you ebb
upon my
body’s shore.

Forever

Love…
…in its richest form is rare. If it touches you, decades later its mark will be felt even if long ago you lost the one in your heart. True love really does last forever.

Taken from a poem posted on http://www.booksie.com/ by Barbarolvr93
young-loveForever in me,
you will be.
Forever my love,
sent from above.
Forever in my life,
you are mine.
Forever in my eyes,
you will always shine.
Forever my star,
seen from afar.
Forever my soul,
you make me whole.
You are the one,
I will love, forever.

Love Feels No Burden

Love…
… by itself, is never a burden. To think of it as an encumbrance is possible only when stirred with human failings such as doubt, insecurity, suspicion or deceit. Requited or not: lost or found; lasting or impermanent, love is always for the good.

15th Century Dutch writer Thomas à Kempis
Love is eternalLove feels no burden,
regards not labors,
strives toward more
than it attains,
argues not
of impossibility,
since it believes that it may
and can do all things.
Therefore it avails
for all things, and fulfils
and accomplishes much
where one not a lover falls
and lies helpless.

Delightful Madness

Love…
…brings a most beautiful insanity. Knowing all Earthbound loved ones are eventually lost to us here, or us to them, but loving anyway is delightful madness. Knowing fully this form of ‘crazy’ is life’s most valuable gift.

French novelist George San (Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin)
imagesCA48KP5GThere
is
only
one
happiness
in
life,
to
love
and
be
loved.

Lives In Perpetuity

Love…
…is proof of eternity; it confounds all notions of time; effaces all memory of beginning, all fear of an end. Loving well is the highest achievement of human existence and lives in perpetuity.

Quote origin unknown – author anonymous
heart-the 6th senseDear
my heart,
I wish I can be
as strong
as you.
No matter
how many
times you’ve
been broken,
you still beat
and love.

Love Is As Love Does

Love…
…shines in a person’s eyes even when it is unspoken. A stranger can tell when love is alive between two people. In the way they look at each other volumes of silent meaning are expressed.

American psychiatrist and best-selling author M. Scott Peck
Love is
as love does.
Love is
an act of will
…both an intention
and an action.
Will also
implies choice.
We do not
have to love.
We choose
to love.

Sharing the Same Air

Love…
…is a quiet evening on the couch together watching a movie: nothing fancy; no hot romance; no incredibly memorable moments, just you and me sharing the same air, enjoying each other’s presence and needing nothing else.

20th-century American writer Kurt Vonnegut
Enjoy the
little things
in life,
for one
day you’ll
look back
and realize
they were
big things.

Patiently Waits

Love…
…comes through the miles clearly when I’m away. It’s a soothing comfort that gives me strength to know someone cares, hopes for my safety and patiently waits for my return.

An anonymous quote by a writer unknown
Let
love
come
to you.
Be patient.
In
fairy tales
they don’t
find each
other until
the last page.

Tell Them

Love…
…is two dimensional until spoken. You can love with all your heart but until you tell the person you care about how you feel something is lacking. It’s like the different between a black and white photograph and one in color.

Saying by an anonymous author
If
you
love
someone
tell them,
for hearts
are often
broken by
words left
unspoken.

Conquers All It Touches

Love…
…is invisible, but easy to see; intangible, but solid; unexplainable but easily felt; the greatest treasure on Earth, but free to everyone. Love can never be conquered, but conquers all it touches.

Line spoken by Nicholas Cage in the movie “Next”
There’s an
Italian painter,
named Carlotti,
and he…
defined beauty.
He said it was
the summation
of the parts
working together
in such a way
that nothing
needed to be
added,
taken away
or altered…
