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’
newOn 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.

When I Was With You

Love…
…truest and most rare, carves itself indelibly into memory. I attempted to forget you and for a time thought I succeeded. All I accomplished was to outrun love temporarily. Then when I wasn’t expecting it you caught up with me.

From “Clockwork Prince” by Cassandra Clare (Judith Rumelt)
woman eye contactI could not tell you
if I loved you
the first moment
I saw you, or if it was
the second or third
or fourth.
But I remember
the first moment
I looked at you
walking toward me
and realized
that somehow
the rest of the world
seemed to vanish
when I was with you.

The More Likely It Becomes

Love…
…is sitting quietly, listening to romantic music and letting my imagination have unfettered freedom. In those moments nothing seems impossible. It feels as if the more I imagine what might be the more likely it becomes.

From “Three Little Words” by Jessica Thompson
Cropped portrait man with earphonesI believe that love
is an overwhelming,
all-consuming force,
and when its genuine
you can’t really ignore it.
No matter
how long it takes.
It knocks down
your door by force.
It keeps you
awake at night.
It plagues
your thoughts
and burns your soul.

Fever In My Heart

Love…
…can be of the forgettable kind, while sweet and kind, becomes forgotten rapidly later. Love can be of a painful variety that dissipates slowly, but is gone by the time the wounds heal. And love can be of the kind that moves into your soul and never leaves because you don’t want it to.

Writer, poet and philosopher James Browning
secret of my heart editYou stormed
all my senses,
Left a fever
in my heart.
With its mystery
and suspense,
Love came
to never depart.
Across the years,
never to fade
Carried secretly
inside, but mislaid.

Earth Bound Angels

Love…
…arriving brings near sensory overload without a smidgen of advance warning. Senses are heightened; ordinary becomes extraordinary; simple becomes spectacular; common becomes astonishing and the whole experience feels heavenly.

Italian writer, actor and director Luciano de Crescenzo
couple18 second editWe are
each of us
angels with
only one
wing.
And
we can
only fly
embracing
each other.

There Will Be A Time

Love…
… says we should commit the perfect crime. I’ll steal your heart and you’ll steal mine. Then we’ll make a perfect getaway together and live the life we’ve only dared dream of.

“A Time For Us” by a writer unknown
thinking of youJust like the sun
goes down at night.
Just like the moon
and stars come out
to light up the sky.
Just like every spring
has gloomy days
full of thunderous rain
before new flowers bloom.
Just like the river
travels long rough miles
through cities and towns just to
flow into the sea for eternity.
There will be a time for us.

Not a Moment Sooner or Later

Love…
…will sneak up and surprise you. When you least expect it is when love arrives. It doesn’t care about what is convenient or what your circumstances are. True love comes when it comes and not a moment sooner or later.

From “The Truth About Forever” by Sarah Dessen
first-loveThere is never
a time or place
for true love.
It happens
accidentally,
in a heartbeat,
in a single flashing,
throbbing moment.

All I Have

Love…
…told me to stop anticipating her to come calling. Love said, when you expect me no more and your yearning subsides is when I will bring the one you want, need and dream of.

“It’s All I Have To Bring Today ” American Poet Emily Dickinson
man-waitinG EDITIt’s all I have to bring today –
This,
and my heart beside –
This,
and my heart,
and all the fields –
And all the meadows wide –
Be sure you count –
should I forget
Someone the sum could tell –
This,
and my heart,
and all the Bees
Which in the clover dwell.

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
five elements 02…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.

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.
