In the Heavens Forever

Love…
…requires courage! Over time everything changes and every life ends. It takes great bravery to love, knowing it might end any time but having faith it will last forever.

American writer and novelist Amy Tan
I am
like a falling star
who has finally
found her place
next to another
in a lovely constellation,
where we will sparkle
in the heavens
forever.

What If, What Now, and Why

Love…
…itself is simple and uncomplicated. It is the human mind that complicates it with layer upon layer of ‘what-if’, ‘what-now’ and ‘why’. Love accurately defined is impossible to write, yet easy to feel when the mind slows and the heart is allowed free will.

From “The Things He Wrote To Her” by Richard Wightman
I love
the heart of you,
so tender;
the mind of you,
so broad
and strong;
the soul of you,
the whitest gem
in any fleshly setting.

A Beautiful Paradox of Opposites

Love…
…makes no sense. It is illogical, uncertain, tentative, hard and often sorrowful. Love makes sense. It is logical, certain, sure, easy and happy. Love is a beautiful paradox of opposites.

“I Know Not” by James Browning
Is it her smile or the curl of her hair?
I really can’t tell yet, I’m still unaware.
Why like iron to magnet am I pulled her way?
I have no logic about that which I can display.
It is tenderness of her hand’s gentle touch?
That answer I wish I knew so very much.
Why like an angel does she appear to me?
I know sure its true, yet no proof do I see.
Is it her kiss or body next to mine in a hug?
That certain answer is only known high above.
Why is she near yet so distant and far away?
Only guesses I offer, No answer can I say.
Is she going to be with me never or soon?
At near Noon or at night under a bright moon?
Is she running away from me, never to return?
I know not except for her I yearn and yearn.

Like You Did Mine

Love…
…comes when it is least expected and rarely arrives when it is yearned for most. At the time love seems most improbable someone appears and in a sweeping surprise captures your heart; just like you did mine.
