She had blue skin.....

She had blue skin

And so did he

He kept it hid

And so did she

They searched for blue

Their whole life through

Then passed right by-

And never knew"

~Shel Silverstein

Some days.....

Some days you must learn a great deal.

But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you

 to swell up and touch everything.

If you never let that happen, then you just accumulate facts,

 and they begin to rattle around inside you.

~E.L.Konigsburg

If someday.....

If someday the moon calls you by your name

don't be surprised.

Because every night I tell her about you.

~Shahrazad al-Khalij

And when at last.....

And when at last you find someone to who you feel you can pour out your soul,
you stop in shock at the words you utter---
they are so rusty,
so ugly,
so meaningless and feeble
from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.

You will never be happy.....

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

~Albert Camus 

The mind.....

The mind weighs and measures 
but it is the spirit that reaches the heart of life 
and embraces the secret; 
and the seed of the spirit is deathless. 

~ Kahlil Gibran♥

Countless.....

Countless as the sands of the sea are human passions.

~Nikolai Gogol

Love is as much of an object as an obsession.....

Love is as much of an object as an obsession, 

everybody wants it everybody seeks it, 

but few ever achieve it, 

those who do, will cherish it, be lost in it,

 and among all, will never...never forget it.

~ Anonymous.

The hours I spend with you.....

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, 

a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it… 

you and you alone make me feel that I am alive…. 

Other men it is said have seen angels,

 but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

~George Moore.

The love.....

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

~Elbert Hubbard

The ineffable joy of forgiving.....

The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy

 that might well arouse the envy of the gods.

~Elbert Hubbard

Be the feast.....

Be The Feast !

The only way to navigate Love

Is to be lost within it

It is neither a beast to be conquered

Nor a thought to be cornered

You are a guest in its presence

A voyeur in the dark

So feast not

Rather be the feast

Worthy of legends

For there is no sweeter ecstasy

Than the nectar

That is the yearning of your heart.

~ Keoki Trask.

Love is when you miss him even before he's gone.....

Love is when you miss him even before he's gone,

When you could listen to him talk all night

And never get tired of hearing his voice,

When the sound of his name sends chills down your spine,

And when you see his smile the second you close your eyes!

~ Adriene Auckerman.

Stay

Stay with me, as I stay with you,

          Don't go against me, there is no malice within me,

              

              I am on your side, more than I will let you know,

          Love me, as I will protect you to the death.

Beloved.....

My debt to you, Belovèd,
Is one I cannot pay
In any coin of any realm
On any reckoning day.

~Jessie B. Rittenhouse

If.....

If all my mistakes led me to you,

 maybe they aren’t mistakes, at all.”

~Daily Haiku on Love by Tyler Knott Gregson

I'm strong.....

I'm strong because I know my weakness. 

I'm a lover because I'm a fighter. 

I'm wise because I've been foolish.

 I laugh because I've known sadness.

Funny .....

Funny how some people spend
so much of their lives playing games, 

when living honestly and loving sincerely
is the only true way to live.

~jz

You will find.....

You will find as you look back upon your life
 that the moments when you have really lived,
 are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.

~ Henry Drummond.
