Love…
…is most lasting when served with equal measures of courage and understanding; courage to face the difficulties that will try to tear the lovers apart; understanding so those times don’t succeed.
Italian poet, journalist, novelist and composer Arrigo Boito
When
I
saw
you
I fell
in
love.
And
you
smiled
because
you
knew.
Love…
…is found much like a determined prospector digging for gold; one has to have a belief he or she is going to find it in the first place. ‘Striking it rich’ in love becomes probable only with an unwavering conviction it is possible.
From “Love and Truth” by American writer Kathryn Vance-Perez
If you told
me today our
being together
would result
in heartbreak
I would still
choose to be
with you because
I believe that
truly living life
is in the experiences
not the outcomes.
Love…
…does not require me to be in love to feel loved. I can relive good memories of old flames, fall head over heels with a character in a book or find joy in the happiness of others. Only with an already open loving heart can I ever fall in love again.
“Your Kiss” by contemporary poet Shelagh Bullman
Your kiss is like a roller coaster ride up to the stars,
Or dancing on a moonbeam, a rocket trip to Mars;
Your kiss is like a thunderbolt striking to my heart,
Makes my body quiver and my senses fall apart;
Your kiss is like riding on the back of Angels wings,
Flying me over golden meadows, mountains & silver streams:
Your kiss is like a Love song without a single word,
And only in this heart of mine this love song can be heard;
Your kiss to me is Heaven, a Paradise of Love and Laughter,
Let’s kiss amongst the starlit skies for now and ever after.
I love…
…how you get goose bumps and shutter with delight when I kiss and nibble on your shoulder. Feeling you fills me with sweetness and delight.
From song “Do You Long For Me Tenderly by Elsa Schieder
do you long for me tenderly
do you long for my embrace
do you long for me tenderly
do you long to touch softly
your palm to my face
do you long to hold me
do you long to caress
do you long to love me
with tenderness
Love…
…is the longest four letter word in the English language. To understand, one need only consider the eternity it takes before a response after telling someone for the first time that you love him or her.
Canadian author and speech pathologist Vesna Bailey
…you are
my rainbow
to keep.
My eyes
will always
be watching
you;
never will
I lose
sight of
you.
Love…
…arrives like spring after a cold winter. It brings hope where there was emptiness. The ground breaks sprouting new growth that was lying in wait for love’s warmth so it could burst open with color.
From “Little Men” by American novelist Louisa May Alcott
Love is a flower
that grows
in any soil,
works its
sweet miracles
undaunted by
autumn frost
or winter snow,
blooming fair
and fragrant
all the year,
and blessing
those who give
and those
who receive.
Love…
..brings great strength, comfort and a certain knowing that today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, always as my best friend, lover and forever soul mate.
From the song “Until Forever’s Gone” by Kenny Rogers
With all my heart,
and all my soul,
I will love you
till the winds
don’t blow.
Until the oceans
turn to stone,
my love is yours
and yours alone.
My love is forever,
until forever’s gone.
Love…
…is like snow falling with no control except from the speed it falls with. Drifting to come to rest on a specific spot unknown until it lands, love like a snowflake finds a home.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
Things that fall:
petals
teardrops
snowflakes
rain
stars
tides
eyelids
time
shadows
leaves
the sun
and me,
for you.
Love…
…fetched springtime to this heart a good distance before the calendar deemed the season start. Far ahead of spring narcissus sprouts, “je suis amoureux” has bloomed with fertile vigor.
Elizabeth Barrett To Robert Browning June 4, 1846
…I love you
with the fullness
of my nature.
Nothing of all
this unspeakable
goodness and tenderness
is lost on me…
I catch on my face
and hands every drop
of all this dew.
Love…
…is alive sparkling within as sleep comes to find me, when I wake and through each day. As the mystery of “us” unfolds there is fear, but joy is stronger. You came to me unexpectedly, but I am deeply grateful for the surprise.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
I will love you always.
When your hair is white,
I will still love you.
When the smooth softness
of youth is replaced
by the delicate softness of age,
I will still want you.
When your face is full of the lines
of every smile you have ever smiled,
of every surprise I have seen flash
through your eyes, when every tear
you have cried has left its mark
upon your face, I will treasure you
all the more, because I was there
to see it all. I will share your life
with you and I will love you
until my last breath.
