Hypnotized by Attraction

Love…
…radiates from the heart to captivate, enrapture and enchant till one becomes hypnotized by attraction. Then almost without thought one is pushed and pulled to the subject of affection.

English poet and playwright Robert Browning
Take
away
love
and
our
earth
is a
tomb.

A Rainbow in Black and White

Love…
…gives living dimension, depth and color. Without love, life is like having only near tasteless food to eat or like a rainbow in black and white.

From “A Life Without Love” by Rachel Fogle
A Sunset without a sun
is no sunset at all.
A life without love
is no life at all.
A rainbow without colors
is no rainbow at all.
And heart without feelings
is no human at all.

As The Angels Give

Love…
…is waking up with a simple thought about you, a remembered moment or a future anticipated one. Those morning thoughts, memory glimpses and wishes stir into kaleidoscope of hope for you in all its shades of past, present and future.

Scottish author, poet and minister George MacDonald
If instead
of a gem,
or even a flower,
we should
cast the gift
of a loving thought
into the heart
of a friend,
that would
be giving
as
the
angels
give.

Momentary Lack of Awareness

Love…
…makes me a little goofy sometimes when we kiss. Right after it’s as if I’ve become slightly intoxicated with a momentary lack of awareness of where we are.

From song ” I Said My Pajamas” by Eddie Pola and George Wyle
I climbed up the door
and opened the stairs,
Said my pajamas
and put on my prayers,
Then I turned off the bed
and crawled into the light
All because
you kissed me goodnight!

A Switch Abruptly Thrown

Love…
… arrives like lightning. Growing close takes time, but realizing you have fallen in love comes in a sudden spark like a switch abruptly thrown. Love’s realization comes unexpectedly swift in its own good time.

From “If I fell” by Lennon and McCartney
If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand?
Cos I’ve been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands.

A Force of Nature

Love…
…like wind, snow, sun and rain is a force of nature, but it’s the only one felt from the inside out as it blows, snows, burns and falls within.

Musician and poet John Lennon
There are two basic motivating forces:
fear and love.
When we are afraid,
we pull back from life.
When we are in love,
we open to all that life
has to offer with
passion, excitement, and acceptance.

A Great Comfort

Love…
… Love is a sense that comes without doubt and question; a simple, but certain knowing. There is graceful comfort in knowing there is true love in your heart for me.

Contemporary Italian writer C. Joybell C.
We have to allow ourselves to be loved
by the people who really love us,
the people who really matter.
Too much of the time,
we are blinded by our own pursuits
of people to love us,
people that don’t even matter,
while all… the people who do love us
have to stand on the sidewalk
and watch us beg in the streets!
It’s time to put an end to this.
It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.

Learn the Song

I love…
…better, deeper and more profoundly with age, yet with more trepidation and fear. While I am cautious beyond explanation I am grateful you got past my defenses and opened my heart to know love again.

By an anonymous author
To love
a person
is to learn
the song
that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them
when they
have forgotten.
