You Feel Like Home

Love…
…shows its depth long after the initial nervousness and tentative passion of love’s beginning. It is what remains when the season takes away the easy blossoms and obvious greenery. The roots that survive on the coldest of days is where love finds its greatest power.

Taken from an untitled poem by an author unknown
old couple walking awayYou feel like home to me;
With your knowing smile,
You can put me at ease.
You feel like home to me;
A safe and peaceful place,
Where I can relax and be free.
You feel like home to me;
The warm and gentle comfort,
Of all familiar things.

A Heart Quietly Inflamed

Love…
…brings hope into one’s heart that is rooted in uncertainty and bound by possibility. The fire in love’s risk dampened by understanding sculpts a heart quietly inflamed.

Taken from “Love Plain and Simple” by Nicole
I get butterflies,
every time,
You look at me,
touch me,
talk to me.
Big cheesy smiles across my face,
You fill that empty place,
Deep in my heart,
Where it has been lonely
for such a long while…

Deep and Good

Love…
…for you has grown into a feeling that is mostly calm and peaceful. The jittery nerves that came at first were exciting but not completely comfortable. The groove we have settled into now feels deep, lasting and good.

“The Question” by Conor MacFarlane
What can be received
But never stolen?
Can be sought
But never sold?
Can be learnt
But never taught?
Can be felt
But never touched?
Love.
