How Do I Love Thee

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with a passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

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.

William Cowper

To a Young Lady

Sweet stream that winds through yonder glade,

Apt emblem of a virtuous maid-

Silent and chaste she steals along,

Far from the world's gay busy throng:

With gentle yet prevailing force,

Intent upon her destined course;

Graceful and useful all she does,

Blessing and blest where'er she goes;

Pure-bosom'd as that watery glass,

And Heaven reflected in her face.

Sara Teasdale

I Would Live in Your Love

I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,

Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that

recedes;

I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,

I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul

as it leads.

William Morris

Love Is Enough

Love is enough: though the World be a-waning,

And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,

Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover

The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,

Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,

And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass'd over,

Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter;

The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter

These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.

Christopher Marlowe

Who ever Loved, that Loved Not at First Sight?

It lies not in our power to love or hate,

For will in us is overruled by fate.

When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,

We wish that one should love, the other win;

And one especially do we affect

Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:

The reason no man knows, let it suffice,

What we behold is censured by our eyes.

Where both deliberate, the love is slight:

Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?

A Special World

A special world for you and me

A special bond one cannot see

It wraps us up in its cocoon

And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold

Gently nestling us to the fold

Like silken thread it holds us fast

Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break

A new one forms in its wake

To bind us closer and keep us strong

In a special world, where we belong.

- Sheelagh Lennon -

Untitled

A stranger you were once.

Then, with a gentle look you took my hand.

As our lives engaged,

you lit my life and I held both your hands.

Now that decades have passed,

ours souls have indeed become one.

How fortunate we are

that we have found the love so true

that everyone dreams about.

- Laura Veronica Merodio -

Feelings

As I wake by your side,

My feelings for you I can not hide,

I touch your face in the morning light,

Being with you just feels so right

You make me feel like I'm a queen,

Like being inside an awesome dream,

Although this is real, that I know,

As the love that surrounds us continues to grow

I think of what the future holds...

Marriage, children, us growing old,

And as I lay, with you dear,

I'm just so glad you're mine, you're here.

- Jo Pye -

Kiss Me

by Dearing but loving

You make me feel special,

You make me feel new,

You make me feel loved,

With everything you do.

You hold me close when I am sad.

You wipe the tears from my face.

Every time we are together,

It seems like the perfect place.

My eyes light up when you enter a room.

I smile when we are together.

No matter how bad things are,

You always make them better.

I love the way you kiss me,

The way you hold me tight.

I love the way you touch me,

I could be with you all night.

I love the way you can make me laugh

For absolutely no reason at all.

I love how no matter what I do,

You will be there to catch me when I fall.

I just want you to know,

That even though we sometimes fight,

I will always love you!

No matter what, day or night.

I Love You

I love you.

You're the joy in my heart,

The sparkle in my eye,

The light in my life.

I love you.

You're the wind to my wings,

The steps to my dances,

The voice to my songs.

I love you.

You're the reason for breathing,

The purpose for thriving,

The cause for living.

I love you.

You're the most caring human being,

The very generous and gentle,

The loveliest of them all.
