~ by Karen Sunde ~

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself
But if your love and must needs have desires,
Let these be your desires:
# To melt and be like a running brook
# That sings its melody to the night.
# To know the pain of too much tenderness.
# To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
# And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
# To wake at dawn with a winged heart
# And give thanks for another day of loving;
# To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
# To return home at eventide with gratitude;
# And then to sleep with a prayer
# For the beloved in your heart
# And a song of praise upon your lips.
~ by Gibran Kahlil Gibran ~

SONNET #130
By William Shakespeare
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses demasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

1609

Smiles
Of all things true and full of beauty
such is your heart and the truths they represent,
for if I keep you ever present in my thoughts each day
I can take comfort in your kind words and honesty,
my only hope being that my words will delight you ever so slightly, for to make you smile is a treasure for all the world to see.
~By Ridddder

Embrace

Sing me a beautiful melody
read me a beautiful tale
comfort my head with your warmth
kiss me till our lips grow pale
touch my hand with your glowing limbs
stare at me with that fire inside
hold me close to your beating heart
and breathe our love in your sighs.
~By Ridddder

Warmth

Like a cool spring breeze I feel your words against my brow
a gentle song filled with hope and peace unlike any other I hath known
if only to touch your softness for but a moment
would seem like an eternity of comfort by your side
Your words lift me up like the wings of angels
only to descend once again to the pitfalls of man
How can I ever not seek the warmth of your breath against my skin
or the sincerity of your smile in thy eyes
~By Ridddder

Love can transpose to form and dignity.

And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily 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.
~ by 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ~
