To Be One With Each Other
Author: George Elliot

What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?

 

Give Your Hearts
Author: Kahlil Gibran

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

 

Love Is Like Magic
Author: Anonymous

Love is like magic, and it always will be,
For love still remains life's sweet mystery.
Love works in ways that are marvelous and strange,
There's nothing in life that love cannot change!
Love can transform the most commonplace
Into beauty and grandeur and sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish, understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart, and not with its mind.
Love is the answer that everyone seeks;
Love is the language that everyone speaks.
Love can't be bought, it is priceless and free.
Love, like pure magic, is life's sweet mystery.

Recipe For Love
Author: Amy Oxford

Take a little bit of me
And a little bit of you
Add an entire decade
And all that we've been through

2 cups of loyalty
generously sprinkled with trust
A pinch of forgiveness
And laughter is a must

Blend a smile, a kiss and
Holding each others hands
Add this all together
Between a woman and a man

Stir in two hearts
Sprinkled with adoration
Stir it all together
And you get a good foundation
For Love.

 

I've Married One Of Shakespeare's Dreams
Author: Ogden Nash

Geniuses of countless nations
Have told their love for generations
Till all their memorable phrases
Are common as goldenrod or daisies.
Their girls have glimmered like the moon,
Or shimmered like a summer moon,
Stood like a lily, fled like a fawn,
Now the sunset, now the dawn,
Here the princess in the tower
There the sweet forbidden flower.
Darling, when I look at you
Every aged phrase is new,
And there are moments when it seems
I've married one of Shakespeare's dreams.

A Kiss To Build A Dream On
Author: Unknown

Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on.

Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on.

When I'm alone with my fancies...I'll be with you
Weaving romances...making believe they're true.

Give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.

 

To My Dear And Loving Husband
Author: Anne Bradstreet

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more then whole Mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

 

La Vita Nuova
Author: Dante Alighieri

In that book which is
My memory...
On the first page
That is the chapter when
I first met you
Appear the words...
Here begins a new life.

 

As Time Goes By
Author: Herman Hupfeld

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

And when two lovers woo,
They still say: "I love you."
On that you can rely.
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny.

It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

 

Excerpt From The I Ching
Author: The Book of Changes

When two people are at one in their inmost hearts,
they shatter even the strength of iron or bronze.
And when two people understand
each other in their inmost hearts,
their words are sweet and strong,
like the fragrance of orchids.

 

A Knight In Shining Armor
Author: Anonymous

In this world full of hurt and pain,
I need someone who would help me through the rain.
To comfort me when Im sad,
Doing everything just to make me glad.

In this world I need a Brave Knight,
Who would never give up any fight.
A knight who would dry away my tears,
Telling me to overcome my fears.

A knight who loves me for who I am inside,
With him there's nothing more I need to hide.
A person who will still be standing strong,
Even though everything has gone wrong.

I need someone who is willing to give me more,
Someone I can call my Knight In Shining Armor.

 

All Of You
Author: David Norman Meece

The sound of your voice is music to my ear
So soft, sweet, and clear
The kiss from your lips words can not explain
It takes away my worries and my pain
The caress of your hand sends shivers down my spine
Everyday I thank God that your mine.

The sight of your lovely face takes away all my fears
You're the one I want to love through out the years
For an eternity I want to spend in your arms
Every day graced by your beauty and your charms.

 

A Moment To Remember
Author: Trista Moss

A place we go
to let us know
that our love is always true
and that we will never be blue.

A memory on the edge of time
A place where we are so sublime,
A distant dream on a midnights eve
somewhere far from acknowledged leaves.

A time in which we fell deeper in love
just like two turtle doves
We sang our songs and gave our token
to remember one single moment.

 

Your Smile, Your Touch, Your Heart
Author: Randall Drymen

Your smile awakens my soul,
As the sun awakens the day.
A kiss and my life is yours,
It seems a fair price to pay.
Your touch arouses my senses,
As the moon arouses the night.
Hold me and win me forever,
In your arms all things are right.
Your heart endures all emotion,
As the sky endures all the stars.
Love me and we'll have eternity,
There is no greater love than ours.

 

You Are Romance
Author: Joyce Hemsley

Hold me, enfold me this evening
take me far up to the height
we will endeavour to love forever
come let it happen tonight.

Ask me to dance this evening
sing me your love song tonight
you are romance so ask me to dance
never ever to stray from my sight.

Come take a chance this evening
in Paradise, how sweet the delight
with one glance, bring me romance
and tell me you love me tonight.

Hold me, enfold me this evening
with two eager arms hold me tight
we will endeavour to love forever
come, let it happen tonight.

 

Saying I Do
Author: M. Pascual

Saying I do
Is more than saying I love you
It goes beyond describing how my love is true
Because words are not enough to express my love for you.

Saying I do
Is like saying I am here for you
That I am ready to see what the future may bring
Because we are together in everything.

Saying I do
Is saying I am now complete because of you
That the pieces of the puzzle called "my life"
Becomes a beautiful picture called "our love".

And now I am saying "I DO"
As I walk down the aisle with you
This is a lifetime promise that I will hold
A promise I make until we grow old.

 

A Special World
Author: Sheelagh Lennon

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.

 

What I Love About You

I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.

And the ways you show you care.

And the way you're always there.

Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.

Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day?
Author: William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

 

Let Me Not To The Marriage Of True Minds
Author: William Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments; love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no, it is an ever-fixèd mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his heighth be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

 

All Paths Lead To You
Author: Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff

All paths lead to you, where e'er I stray;
You are the evening star at the end of day.

All paths lead to you, hill-top or low;
You are the white birch in the sun's glow.

All paths lead to you, where e'er I roam;
You are the lark-song calling me home!
