Love

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived
are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

Love to faults is always blind,
Always is to joy inclined.
Lawless, winged, and unconfined,
And breaks all chains from every mind

Let your love be like the misty rains, coming softly, but flooding the river.

I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold
And the stars grow old.

Love is ever where the heart will find it no matter how unlikely seems the place.

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.

Love much dear friends for love will bring the healing joy and hope of Spring...

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Love is always bestowed as a gift — freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you lack.
If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.

Love isn't here or there, it isn't happy,
sad, good or bad. Love is just Love.

Love is a tickle around the heart that you can't scratch.

When you have nothing left but love, then for the first time you become aware that love is enough.

You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

One word frees us of all the weight and and pain of life. That word is love.

What is Love

Love is a solitary tear falling from a waterfall of sheer bliss.
Love is a shoulder to cry on.
It's patience.....

Love is a smile that never falters.
Love is gentle passion, and fierce lust.
Love is a flower that never dies.
It's consideration.......

Love is seeing what your lover really looks like for the first time.
It's truth..............

Love is saying the perfect phrase to make a solemn embrace dissolve into giggles.
Love is your own name being called out by your soul mate in the heat of passion.
It's desire..........

Love is a slow kiss good night.
It's anticipation.............

Love is that simple gesture that means the world.
Love is an Angel that kisses your cheek.
Love is the arms around you tightening their embrace.
It's ecstasy.............

Love is seeing a new side of a person you thought you knew.
It's renewal..............

Love is everything and all things.
Love is telling a person if you have to leave, you will let them sleep, and being told they would rather be woken.
It's tenderness.............

Love is waking up to find the subject of the dream you were having asleep on your shoulder.
It's where fantasy meets reality.
Love is being there to wake your lover. Slowly.
Love is forever.
It's sensuousness............

Love is two people only taking up a third of a queen-sized bed.
It's closeness.....

Your Footprints on My Heart

Need I say you are the beginning of my life,
my soul, and the footprints of my heart.
I am here for you, no not just a wondering star,
You are the beginning of my soul you are its end.
For you my love I am here, my light is yours,
Leave me not at your door; bear the greeting of my heart.
If I could tell you the secrets of my heart,
Say you will carry me, for the sake of love.
You shall go and keep your eyes upon my heart,
To bring a hope again; I took upon the world
A knee to all across the world.
Till the night you call my name,
I will look upon the footprints of my heart.
I know we have a destiny in everything we do.
I dreamed the crossing of my heart.
Need I know my destiny, I hoped that I could tell you,
Once I dreamed a dream of you,
I dreamed you'd say
you are the beginning of my life, my soul,
the footprints of my heart.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.
