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.

I Love You More Than Love

It is impossible to capture in words
the feelings I have for you
I now have the strongest feelings
that I have ever had about anyone
Yet, when I try to tell you them
or try to write them down for you

The words do not even begin to touch
the depths of my feelings for you
And though I cannot explain
the essence of these phenomenally feelings
I can tell you what I feel like
when I am with you...

When I am with you it is as if:
I were a bird
Flying freely in the clear blue sky
I were a flower
Opening up my petals of life

When I am with you it is as if:
I were the waves of the sea
Crashing strongly against the shore
I were the rainbow after the storm
Proudly showing my colors so pure and
vividly

When I am with you it is as if
Everything that's beautiful
surrounds us...

This is just a small part
of how wonderful I feel when I am with you
Maybe......
the word "Love" was invented
to explain the deep heart felt
all-encompassing feelings we feel and enjoy

But, somehow, it is not strong enough
Yet, since it is the BEST word there is
Let me tell YOU a thousand times that
I Love YOU more than LOVE!!!!

by James L. McHenry

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.....

When I Think of You

When I think of you

Even the dried flowers become.

more fragrant ??
Even the wild storm become..

..tiny pat on me??

When I dream of you..

The sharpen stones on my ways

become shining sands..

The broken pieces of my mind

..become glittering stars.

The tiny hut of mine become

glazing shrines.....

When I touch you

The shining dimples in your cheek

..become golden clues

The greedy rosy lips become

shivering peg of wines

And I can't!!!, I can't tell you more

and more, I want to keep.

Those very close to my mind..

Because...

You Always Remain close to my HEART

N far from my EYES.

"Chandani raat me our bhi shiddat se aaye gi us ki yaad

Behtar hai faraz so Jana sham se pehle".

Don't wait until it's too late to tell someone how much you love,

How much you care. Because when they're gone,

No matter how loud you shout and cry,

They won't hear you anymore.

Love isn't a decision, it's a feeling. If we could decide who to love, then,

Life would be much simpler, but then less magical.

24hrs make a lovely day,

7 days make a lovely week,

52 weeks make a lovely year & knowing a

Person like me will make Ur life lovely.

Luv meanz to see someone with closed eyez,

To miss some1 in crowd,

2 find some1 in every thought,

to live 4 some1, love some1, but sure that sum1 is ONLY one!

"Khushi se dil KO aabad karna...

Aur gham ko dil se azad karna,

Din me ek baar YAAD karna... "

If you’re asking if I Need U the answer is 4Ever.

If you’re asking if I'll leave U the answer is Never.

If you’re asking what I value the Answer is U.

If you’re asking if I love U the answer is I do.

I dream about you every night

I shiver when your in sight

I long to hold you close n tight

I wanna be there with all my might

I m just hoping I'm the girl whose right

When I look at you,

I cannot deny there is God,

Cause only God could have created some one

As wonderful n beautiful as you

If I reached for your hand, will u hold it?

If I hold out my arms, will u hug me?

If I go for your lips, will u kiss me?

If I capture Ur heart, will u love me??

C.L...I.C.K. means:

C= can’t live without u

L= love u

I= I miss u

C= care about u

K= kiss from my heart 2 u

So whenever u miss me just say CLICK.

Don't go for looks,

They can deceive

Don't go for wealth

Even that fades away.

Go for sum1 who makes u

Smile because only a smile makes

A dark day seem bright.

All I wanted was sum1 2 care 4 me

All I wanted was sum1 who'd b there 4 me

All I ever wanted was sum1 who'd b true

All I ever wanted was sum1 like U...

Love is like a CD track

That links our hearts together

Don’t ever break that CD coz

Value Me for What I Give You

Value me for what I give you;
All the rest hold in your heart.
Life does not fulfill our wishes;
Even lifelong lovers part.
Now let yourself be lulled by kisses,
Take from the moment all that's due;
Inter within what your heart misses,
Nor let what's false destroy what's true.
Enjoying love requires art.

Valentine's for Lovers and for Friends

Valentine's for lovers and for friends.
All my love goes out to you this day!
Love is something different from desire:
Even, silent, peaceful as the sky.
Nor is love interested in means or ends.
There are no selfish needs that it must weigh.
Instead, love's plenitude itself inspires,
Needing neither cause nor reason why.
Each day my thoughts enchanted with you lie.

I Miss You Terribly This Day of Love

I miss you terribly this day of love,
Miss you with a wound that stabs and aches.
I see the love around me, and it takes
So much strength simply just to move.
Soon, soon, my love, this waiting will be done.
You and I will have what we desire.
On days like this we'll sit beside the fire,
Undoing all the pain of days long gone.

Happy Valentine's Day S*

Build a Strong Relationship

When you hear about couples who maintain a strong relationship through all of life’s challenges, you may wonder how they do it. Some of these couples have faced the same kinds of difficulties that can lead to break-ups for other people, such as financial problems, trouble with in-laws, or differences in interests or personalities. But somehow, these couples have stayed together while others haven’t

For a long time marriage counselors and others thought that couples had the best chance of staying together if they had similar backgrounds and interests. But recently, experts have developed a different view. Many people now believe that common backgrounds and interests may be less important than other factors, such as differences in values, how couples handle disagreements, or how committed they are.

Every couple is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for a good relationship. But people who’ve stayed together for a long time tend to have some of the same things in common. Here are ten tips based on the conclusions experts have drawn from studying successful relationships:

1. Have a strong commitment to making your relationship work:-

Many couples start out with a strong commitment to their relationship but, after a while, begin to give it less attention. They may neglect each other while focusing on their work, children, or a time-consuming hobby. In strong relationships both people may have outside interests, but they continue to make their commitment to each other a top priority

Staying committed begins with accepting that having a good relationship takes work. Problems can occur in any relationship, and both people have to make compromises and adjustments. So it’s important to accept some difficulties or “rough patches” as normal and inevitable. Instead of trying to pretend that they don’t happen, make a commitment to solving your problems together.

2. Think of yourselves as friends, not just as a couple:-

Couples who stay together see themselves as good friends. They share a variety of activities, enjoy each other’s company, provide support in good times and bad, and they don’t take each other for granted.

3. Accept each other’s limitations:-

Nobody is perfect, and long-lasting couples accept this and learn to cherish each other despite their flaws. One of the biggest challenges you may face as a couple is learning to live with many different kinds of shortcomings. In the early stages of a relationship, both of you may have to accept only small limitations. (One of you is messy and the other is neat, or one of you always wants to try new restaurants while the other would like to have a home-cooked meal every night.) Over time, you may have to cope with larger disappointments -- for example, that one of you has never achieved a big career dream or earned as much money as you’d hoped. At every stage of your relationship, it’s important for both of you to know that you’ll love and cherish each other even if things don’t always work out as expected.

4. See yourselves as equal partners:-

In successful relationships, two people may have very different roles, but they see themselves as equal partners. They don’t regard one person’s views or interests as more important than the other’s. Each person feels that he or she is making a vital contribution to the relationship.

One of the best ways to foster this kind of equality is to ask for the other person’s opinion frequently and show that you value it. Try to make joint decisions on big issues -- deciding how to save for retirement or how to divide up the household responsibilities -- and learn to find creative solutions or make compromises when you can’t agree.

5. Pay attention to how you communicate:-

More than two-thirds of the couples who seek counseling say that their problems include poor communication. It’s vital to learn how to communicate with your partner so that both of you are able to express your needs and desires clearly. One study found that couples can stay close by spending as little as twenty minutes a day simply talking to each other.

The quality of your conversation also matters. Researchers have found that couples who stay together are much more likely to give each other praise, support, or encouragement than those who break up. Many people in long lasting relationships make a point of saying “I love you” every day. Others continually show their affection in small ways. They may touch or hug frequently, give each other back rubs, or tuck romantic notes into the other person’s lunch bag or briefcase. It doesn’t really matter what you do, as long as you and your partner show each other how much you care.

6. Develop a support system:-

When they fall in love, many couples think they don’t need anybody but each other. In the long run this usually turns out to be untrue. Maintaining a good relationship is difficult enough that most couples who stay together need a lot of support along the way. This may come from their friends or family. But it can also come from groups or organizations that reflect their deepest values.

Some couples develop a support system naturally. They have large and close families, or they’re naturally outgoing and make friends easily. If you haven’t found a support system this way, you may be able to develop one by making an extra effort to reach out to others. Sometimes you can find support by getting involved in a community group such as a parents’ organization, a religious organization, or an athletic team. It’s also helpful to take the first step to reach out to others -- for example, by organizing a block party or inviting a coworker who’s new to town to have dinner with you and your family.

7. Handle disagreements constructively:-

Even in the strongest relationships, it isn’t usually possible -- or healthy – to try to avoid all disagreements. A desire to avoid conflict can lead couples to ignore problems until they become too big to handle. A healthy argument can help to clear the air and clarify different points of view.

Since it’s impossible to avoid all arguments, it is important to deal constructively with your differences. This means avoiding personal attacks during arguments or discussions, which can destroy your trust in each other or chip away at your feelings of being loved and valued.

No matter how upset you feel, try to focus on the issues involved in a disagreement, not on who’s “right” or “wrong.” If you’re unhappy that your spouse doesn’t pay the bills on time, don’t accuse him or her of being lazy or neglectful. Instead you might say, “I’m concerned about how late we’re paying our bills. This could affect our ability to buy a house someday.” Or, “I’ve noticed that we’ve had a lot of late charges on our bills. Do we need to work out a better system for making sure these get paid on time?”

8. Make sure each of you has some privacy and independence:-

In the early stages of a romance couples may want to do almost everything together. But over time, most couples realize that each person needs room to grow and develop, not just as part of a couple, but as an individual.

In practical terms, this means that each member of the couple needs time alone or with friends away from the other. Allowing each other some independence is a way of giving your relationship room to “breathe” and showing that you respect another’s unique needs and interests.

9.Share rituals and traditions:-

Almost every successful relationship involves some cherished rituals and traditions that help to bind a couple together. Some couples share daily rituals, such as eating dinner together or talking before bedtime, even if one person is traveling and the conversation takes place by phone. Others enjoy weekly rituals such as going to religious services or to a favorite restaurant every Friday night. Still others have annual traditions such as holding a Fourth of July barbecue or attending a special holiday concert.

These activities help couples to define their values and can become a kind of emotional glue that holds them together. The specific rituals you choose aren’t as important as whether yours have a meaning and importance for you and your partner. You might want to adapt the favorite traditions of both of your families, create some new ones, or use a combination of both.

10. Have fun:-

No matter how hard they work, couples who stay together usually make time for fun. Some set aside one night a week for a “date” with each other even if you just go out for pizza or for a moonlit walk. What you do isn’t important, what’s important is that you spend time together having fun.

In order to keep having fun as a couple, you’ll need to keep re-evaluating your definition of “fun.” If you aren’t enjoying your life together as much as you used to, you may want to take up a new interest or activity that the two of you can share, such as a hobby, a sport, or a volunteer project. You don’t have to have the same interests, but try to find at least one thing that you can enjoy together.

Most strong relationships include at least some of the 10 characteristics listed above. You and your partner can make building a strong relationship a priority by working these tips and characteristics into your everyday lives.

Medicine-who doesn't sleep peacefully

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.

The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.

That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, friendship.....So Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully.

Goodbye My Friend

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won...

You touched my heart you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you

Goodbye my lover, Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me...

God Listen Our Problem

God, I called tonight,
To talk a little while.
I need your help solve,
To my friends anxiety.

God you see, We can't quite make it
Through a day just on our own.
we need your love to guide us,
So We'll never feel alone.

I want to ask you please to keep

My friend's family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence,
For whatever fate they're bound.



Give her faith, dear God, to face,
Each hour throughout the day.

And not to worry over things,
We can't change in any way.

we thank you God, for being home,
And listening to our problems.

For giving us such good advice,
When we stumble and fall.

Your number, God, is the only one,

That answers every time.
We never get a busy signal,
And never had to pay a dime.

So thank you, God, for listening,
To our troubles and sorrow.
Good night, God. We love You, too,
And We'll call again tomorrow!

It is Love that Pays

Nothing else is necessary but these love, sincerity and patience. What is life but growths, i.e. expansion, i.e. love? Therefore all love is life, it is the only law of life; all selfishness is death, and this is true here or hereafter. It is life to do well; it is death not to do well to others. Ninety percent of human brutes you see are dead.

Are ghosts- for none lives, my boys, but he who loves? Feel, my children, feel; fee; for the poor, the ignorant, the downtrodden; feel till the heart stops and the brain reels till the heart stops and the brain reels and you think you will go mad- then pour the soul out at the feet of the lord, and then well come power, help, and indomitable energy ...Be not afraid, my children. Look not up in that attitude of fear towards that infinite starry vault as if it would you crush you. Wait! In a few hours more, the whole of it will be under your feet. ait, money does not pay, nor name; fame does not pay, nor learning. It is love that pays; it is the character that cleaves its way through adamantine walls of difficulties.

Those who are men and yet have no feeling in the heart for man, well, are such to be counted as men at all?

Duty is seldom sweet. it is only when love greases its wheels that is runs smoothly; it is a continuous friction otherwise. How else could parents do their
duties their children, husbands to their wives, and vice versa? Do we not meet with cases of friction every day in our lives? Duty is sweet only through love, and love shines in freedom alone. Yet is it freedom to be a slave to the sense, to anger. to jealousies and a hundred other pretty things that must occur every day in human life? in all these little rough nesses that we meet with in life, the highest expression of freedom is to forbear. Women, slaves to their own irritable, jealous tempers, Are apt to their blame their husbands, and assert their own “freedom”, as they think, not knowing that thereby they only prove that they are slaves. So it is with husbands who eternally find fault with their wives.

Love never fails, my son; today or tomorrow or ages after, truth will conquer. Love shall win the victory. Do you love your fellow –men? Where should you go to seek for god - are not all the poor, the miserable, the weak gods? Why not worship them first? Why go to dig a well on the shores of Ganga? Believe in the omnipotent power of love. Who cares for these tinsel puffs of name? I never keep watch of what the newspapers are saying. Have you loved? You are omnipotent. Are you perfectly unselfish? If so, you are irresistible. It is character that pays everywhere. It is the lord who protects his children in the depths of the sea.

The individual’s life is in the life of the whole, the individual’s happiness is in the happiness of the whole; apart from the whole the individual’s existence is inconceivable – this is an eternal truth and is the bed-rock on which the universe is built. To more slowly towards the infinite whole, bearing a constant feeling of intense sympathy and sameness with it. Being happy with its happiness and being distressed in its affliction, is the individual’s sole duty. Not only is it his duty, but in its transgression is his death, while compliance with this great truth leads to life immortal.

If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true; this I have learnt
after suffering all my life; all else is mere moonshine......

Change Yourself First

We have seen that it is the subjective worlds that rule the objective. Change the subject and the object is bound to change; purify yourself, and the world is bound to be purified. This one thing requires to be thought now more than ever before, we are becoming more and more busy about our neighbors, and less and less about ourselves. The world will change if we change; if we are pure , the world will become pure. The question is why I should see evil in others. I cannot see evil unless I be evil, I cannot be miserable unless I am week, things cannot be miserable when I was a child, do not do so now. The subject changed, so the object was bound to change; so says the VEDANTA.

Thus the man that has practiced control over himself cannot be acted upon by anything outside; there is no more slavery for him. His mind has become free. Such a man alone is fit to live well in the world. We generally find men holding two opinions regarding the world. Some are pessimists and say “how horrible this world is, how wicked!” some others are optimists and say, “How beautiful this world is, how wonderful!” to those who have not controlled their own minds, the world is either full of evil or at best a mixture of good and evil. This very world will become to us an optimistic world when we become masters of our own minds. Nothing will then work upon us as good or evil: we shall find everything to be in its proper place, to be harmonious.

The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the microcosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe. We cannot see outside what we are not inside. The universe is to us what the huge engine is to the miniature engine; and indication of any error in the tiny engine leads us to imagine trouble in the huge one.

Every step that has been really gained in the world has been gained by love; criticizing can ever do any good, it has been tries for thousands of years. Condemnation accomplishes nothing.

When will I see you again S*

When will I see you again
When will we share precious moments
Will I have to wait forever
Or will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through

When will I see you again
When will our hearts beat together
Are we in love or just friends
Is this my beginning or is this the end
When will I see you again

Are we in love or just friends
Is this my beginning or is this the end
When will I see you again...

What Now My Love

What now, my love, now that you've left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turning to ashes
And my hopes into bits of clay

Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
I walk the night without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul

What now, my love, now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars tumbling around me
There's the sky where the sea should be

What now, my love, now that you've gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live or die

What now, my love, now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
