Dedicated To Love

[~Elizabeth~]

I started this thread to give a safe haven for expressing love for one another. A haven for those on Literotica who find the expression of true love a beautiful thing.

If you need to express your love for someone, this thread is open to you for that sole purpose. If you share a love so deep for someone that mere words alone cannot describe, I encourage the use of music, poetry, and art to help express it.

A Sweet Embrace

In his soft brown hair, secrets whispered,
His warm skin, a canvas gently kissed.
Those big strong hands, a comforting embrace,
His deep brown eyes, windows to my soul's grace.
With each step, his walk exudes pure grace,
His voice, a melody, a sweet embrace.
Every thought consumed by his presence near,
His essence lingers, whispering in my ear.
From his head to toe, perfection I see,
He's the embodiment of my reverie.
In every breath, in every waking hour,
Thoughts of him bloom, like a vibrant flower.

“Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art”

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

I Want to Grow Old With You

In a world made for just us two,
I'll spend my life, forever with you.
Hand in hand, we'll walk and play,
Through parks, finding joy every day.

Cups of tea, a delightful brew,
Sharing laughter, our spirits renew.
Coffee dates, with smiles that gleam,
Movies watched, like a vibrant dream.

When gray strands grace our crown,
Our love will still brightly shine down.
Through thick and thin, we'll cheer and mend,
With sunshine smiles, love won't end.

In this cheerful tale, we'll embrace,
Growing old, each moment we'll chase.
With hearts so light, side by side,
Our love forever, a joyful ride.

Sonnets from the Portuguese 43: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways

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 every day’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 the 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 favorite for sure. I love thee in a million ways.

Sonnets from the Portuguese 14: If thou must love me, let it be for nought​

If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way
Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'—
For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may
Be changed, or change for thee,—and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,—
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.

I Love You Not Only For What You Are​

I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself,
but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

My Love

You tell me you love me
I say I love you more
We know the truth
Your love runs deep
fearfully and forcefully
You give me your all
Your love and trust and power
You hold a blanket of protection
Wherever I go
A blessing of security
Protected under your spell
You love me more
But I love you more each day
I am drawn to you
Frozen in your gaze
Of what perfection really is
You piece me back together
Like a scattered puzzle
each piece slowly finds its place
A brilliant picture of who I am
What we’ve become
And the fortifying future we hold
One day
I will love you more

To my partner who I love more each day

Written by Bianca Petersen

Just Like Spring (Love Anew)

In the realm of love, thou art my eternal spring
Thy presence, a blossoming canvas of vibrant hues
As flowers awaken, so does my affection for thee
A love that blooms with the gentle touch of springtime breeze
Thy smile, a sunbeam breaking through winter's veil
Melting the frost of doubt, bringing warmth to my heart.

Thy love, like dawn's dew on tender petals
Nurtures my soul, reviving it with tender care
With thee, my love, each day is a resplendent April
Where love's melody dances in the fragrant air
In thy embrace, I find solace, like a tranquil meadow
And as spring's eternal, so shall my love for thee be.

You are such an incurable romantic and I adore that about you.

As the venom of vipers pours down around us,
May our love shield and protect us In our embrace,
As we walk along the thoroughfare and discuss,
The pitiful state of hate in the human race.

How very sweet, my love. And you are all I need, but hopefully not more than I can handle.
