THE LINES & RHYMES

of LOVE

 

 

What a grand thing, to be loved!

  What a grander thing still, to love!

  - Victor Hugo -

 

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.

- William Shakespeare -

 

One word frees us of all the weight

and pain of life:  that word is love.

- Sophocles -

 

You don't marry someone you can live with,

 you marry the person who you cannot live without.

 - Unknown -

 

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

 - Thoreau -

 

What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.

  - The Bible : Mark 10:9 -

No sooner met but they looked;

No sooner looked but they loved;

No sooner loved but they sighed;

No sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason;

No sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy.

- William Shakespeare - 

 

Love is patient, love is kind.

 It does not boast, it is not proud.

 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easliy angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs.

 Love does not delight in evil,  but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

  Love Never Fails. 

- The Bible : 1 Corinthians 13:4 -

 

If you have it [love], you don't need to have anything else.

 If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you do have.

 - Sir James M. Barrie -

 

Age does not protect you from love

but love to some extent protects you from age. 

- Jeanne Moreau -

 

Marriages are made in heaven

 and consummated on Earth.

 - John Lyly - 

 

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

  - David Viscott -

 

Came but for friendship, and took away love.

 - Thomas Moore -

 

When you love someone,

all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

 - Elizabeth Bowen -

 

Marriage is not a ritual or an end. 

It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together

and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance

and your choice of partner.

 - Amy Bloom -

 

Love feels no burden,
thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility...
It is therefore able to undertake all things,
and it completes many things,
and warrants them to take effect,
where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not.
Though weary, it is not tired;
though pressed, it is not straitened;
though alarmed, it is not confounded...
- Thomas A. Kempis - 

 

 

We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience makes us feel completely alive.
Where every sense is heightened,
every emotion is magnified,
our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flying into the heavens.
It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon.
But that doesn't diminish its value.
Because we are left with memories
that we treasure for the rest of our lives.
- From the movie "The Mirror Has Two Faces" - (starring Barbara Streisand)

 

 

Love is not blind - It sees more and not less,
but because it sees more it is willing to see less.
- Will Moss -

 

Love is like the sun coming out of the clouds
and warming your soul.
- Unknown - 

 

I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning - 

 

To the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world.
- Unknown - 

 

For, you see, each day I love you more,
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
- Rosemonde Gérard, "L'éternelle chanson" - 

 

Guys are like stars - so many to pick from
but only one can make all your dreams come true!
- Lindy Strahan - 

 

 

NEVER HAVE I FALLEN

Your lips speak soft sweetness
Your touch a cool caress
I am lost in your magic
My heart beats within your chest

I think of you each morning
And dream of you each night
I think of your arms being around me
And cannot express my delight

Never have I fallen
But I am quickly on my way
You hold a heart in your hands
That has never before been given away

- Rex A. Williams - 

 

 

 

I wrote your name in the sand
but the waves washed it away,
then I wrote it in the sky
but the wind blew it away,
so I wrote it in my heart
and that's where it will stay.
- Unknown - 

 

 

 

Love Is ...

Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong,
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can't control,
So remember when your eyes meet mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you,
Right from the very start.
- Meghan -

I Will Love You Forever

I love you so deeply,
I love you so much,
I love the sound of your voice
And the way that we touch.
I love your warm smile
And your kind, thoughtful way,
The joy that you bring
To my life every day.
I love you today
As I have from the start,
And I'll love you forever
With all of my heart.
- Amanda Nicole Martinez - 

 

 

Love is a moment that lasts forever...

Love isn't blind, it just only sees what matters.

What Is It That I Love?

If asked why I love her I would say
It’s the sway in her hips,
the thickness in her thighs.
It’s the lust in her lips,
the love in her eyes.
It’s the softness of her skin,
the silk in her hair
It’s the twist in her walk;
it’s the sweetness in her talk.
It’s the way she loves me
that makes me love her each day.
That is what I would say.
- Justin Hutchins ~

 

 

A White Rose

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.
- J B O'Reilly (1844-1890) - 

 

 

 

All the love that history knows,
is said to be in every rose.
Yet all that could be found in two,
is less than what I feel for you.
- Unknown - 

 

 

My Love

My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep.

My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send.

My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It's to you that I surrender.

-Tasha Shores-

 

 

 

Love

Love is like a lump of gold,
Hard to get, and hard to hold.
Of all the girls I've ever met,
You're the one I can't forget.
I do believe that God above,
Created you for me to love.
He chose you from all the rest,
Because he knew I would love you best.
- Loy Bowman - 

 

 

Love Me

Love me in the Springtime, when all is green and new,
Love me in the Summer, when the sky is oh so blue,
Love me in the Autumn, when the leaves are turning brown,
Love me in the Winter, when the snow is falling down.

Love me when I'm happy, and even when I'm sad,
Love me when I'm good, or when I'm oh so bad,
Love me when I'm pretty, or if my face is plain,
Love me when I'm feeling good, or when I'm feeling pain.

Love me always darlin', in the rain or shining sun,
Love me always darlin', after all is said and done,
Love me always darlin', until all our life is through,
Love me always darlin', for I'll be lovin' you!

- Amanda Nicole Martinez -

 

 

The Magic Of Love

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with it's heart
And not with it's mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks....
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!!
- Helen Steiner Rice - 

 

 

 

The Meaning

To love is to share life together
to build special plans just for two
To work side by side
and then smile with pride
As one by one, dreams all come true.

To love is to help and encourage
with smiles and sincere words of praise
To take time to share
to listen and care
In tender, affectionate ways.

To love is to have someone special
one who you can always depend
To be there through the years
sharing laughter and tears
As a partner, a lover, a friend.

To love is to make special memories
of moments you love to recall
Of all the good things
that sharing life brings
Love is the greatest of all.

I've learned the full meaning
of sharing and caring
and having my dreams all come true;
I've learned the full meaning
of being in love
by being and loving with you.

- Kellie Spehn - 

 

 

For You Are The One

For you I would climb
The highest mountain peak
Swim the deepest ocean
Your love I do seek.

For you I would cross
The rivers most wide
Walk the hottest desert sand
To have you by my side.

For you are the one
Who makes me whole
You've captured my heart
And touched my soul.

For you are the one
That stepped out of my dreams
Gave me new hope
Showed me what love means.

For you alone
Are my reason to live
For the compassion you show
And the care that you give.

You came into my life
And made me complete
Each time I see you
My heart skips a beat.

For you define beauty
In both body and mind
Your soft, gentle face
More beauty I'll ne'er find.

For you are the one
God sent from above
The angel I needed
For whom I do love

- Chris Messick - 

 

 

"Beautiful One"

The sun shines down so bright
My eyes are blinded by the light

The wind blows softly upon my face
When I look at you my dear
I am showered with grace

The boat floats gently down the river
I could stay in this moment with you forever

The sun soon starts to set
The shadows of the buildings
Hide the light just a little bit

Soon the sun is fully gone
But the boat still floats on
The only light that can be seen
Comes from the candles on the edge of the stream

I take a deep breath
And stare at the sky
I push back the hair
From in front of your eyes

There is nothing better than this
I now know what beauty is
- Josh Bartolomucci - 

 

 

 

Because Of You

Because of you
my world is now whole,
Because of you 
love lives in my soul.
Because of you
I have laughter in my eyes,
Because of you 
I am no longer afraid of good-byes.
You are my pillar
my stone of strength,
With me through all seasons
and great times of length.
My love for you is pure
boundless through space and time,
it grows stronger everyday
with the knowledge that you'll always be mine.
At the altar
I will joyously say 'I do',
for I have it all now
and it's all because of you.
- Written and owned by Amy S. Bedford - 

 

 

You are the most beautiful flower
in the garden of my existance.
- Steve Hodgin -

 

 

Day by day
Night by night
Kiss by kiss
Touch by touch
Step by step
I fall in love
A love so incomprehensible
So vivid
So unique
So wild, that not even the reign of god could control
A passion so deep
A need so necessary
A want so strong
The universe would not handle
I love you today
I’ll love you tomorrow
I’ll love you forever
- Julio Patino - 

 

 

 

I Asked God

I asked God for a flower, he gave me a bouquet
I asked God for a minute, he gave me a day
I asked God for true love, he gave me that too
I asked for an angel and he gave me you.
- John Raine -
