Sally's candy heart:

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.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I like this one.

Always for the First Time
~ Andre Breton


Always for the first time
Hardly do I know you by sight
You return at some hour of the night to a house at an angle to my window
A wholly imaginary house
It is there that from one second to the next
In the inviolate darkness
I anticipate once more the fascinating rift occurring
The one and only rift
In the facade and in my heart
The closer I come to you
In reality
The more the key sings at the door of the unknown room
Where you appear alone before me
At first you coalesce entirely with the brightness
The elusive angle of a curtain
It's a field of jasmine I gazed upon at dawn on a road in the vicinity of Grasse
With the diagonal slant of its girls picking
Behind them the dark falling wing of the plants stripped bare
Before them a T-square of dazzling light
The curtain invisibly raised
In a frenzy all the flowers swarm back in
It is you at grips with that too long hour never dim enough until sleep
You as though you could be
The same except that I shall perhaps never meet you
You pretend not to know I am watching you
Marvelously I am no longer sure you know
Your idleness brings tears to my eyes
A swarm of interpretations surrounds each of your gestures
It's a honeydew hunt
There are rocking chairs on a deck there are branches that may well scratch you in the forest
There are in a shop window in the rue Notre-Dame-de-Lorette
Two lovely crossed legs caught in long stockings
Flaring out in the center of a great white clover
There is a silken ladder rolled out over the ivy
There is
By my leaning over the precipice
Of your presence and your absence in hopeless fusion
My finding the secret
Of loving you
Always for the first time

Lovey Dovey Improv #1
(Scraps of Shangri-La)


Have fairer notions
Caressed my moments
Than those I've had of you?

Are there more mesmerizing
Treasures anywhere within in my chest?

Were that it were so
That my heart might not
Guard them perhaps as jealously
Obsess on them so eagerly
Press each whisper
That delights the mind
To eager lips
Then swallow down that honey
Would that more persistent dreams
Might free me from
Prison paradise
Enchantress hooked
Living off scraps of your Shangri-La.

Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that.

~Michael Leunig

Love must be as much a light, as it is a flame.

~Henry David Thoreau

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

~Peter Ustinov

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

~William Shakespeare, Mid-Summer Night's Dream, 1595

Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots.

~Author unknown, as printed in The Hoosier Farmer

Love doesn't sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all of the time, made new.

~Ursula K. LeGuin


He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.

~Leo Tolstoy

As the Heart Hopes by Lucy Maud Montgomery


It is a year dear one, since you afar
Went out beyond my yearning mortal sight­
A wondrous year! perchance in many a star
You have sojourned, or basked within the light

Of mightier suns; it may be you have trod
The glittering pathways of the Pleiades,
And through the Milky Way's white mysteries
Have walked at will, fire-shod.

You may have gazed in the immortal eyes
Of prophets and of martyrs; talked with seers

Learned in all the lore of Paradise,
The infinite wisdom of eternal years;
To you the Sons of Morning may have sung,
The impassioned strophes of their matin hymn,
For you the choirs of the seraphim
Their harpings wild out-flung.

But still I think at eve you come to me
For old, delightsome speech of eye and lip,
Deeming our mutual converse thus to be
Fairer than archangelic comradeship;
Dearer our close communings fondly given
Than all the rainbow dreams a spirit knows,
Sweeter my gathered violets than the rose
Upon the hills of heaven.

Can any exquisite, unearthly morn,
Silverly breaking o'er a starry plain,
Give to your soul the poignant pleasure born
Of virgin moon and sunset's lustrous stain
When we together watch them ? Oh, apart
A hundred universes you may roam,
But still I know­I know­your only home
Is here within my heart!

I love these songs...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv-EqP-XVxQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_khbRRLPHc

The first is the ringtone my boy has for me on his phone. The second... well, let's just say that was most likely the soundtrack to the conception of Little C... (TMI?) And may be a very important song in the near future... *sigh*

Love is lovely...
