I carry your heart with me

I carry it in my heart

I am never without it

Anywhere I go you go, my dear;

And whatever is done by only me

Is your doing, my darling
I fear no fate

For you are my fate,my sweet

I want no world

For beautiful, you are my world, my true

And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
And whatever a sun will always sing

Is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

Which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide
And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart

I carry it in my heart

If I'm in heaven and you're not there,

I'd carve your name in golden chairs,

For all the angels there to see,

That I love you and you love me.

If your not there on judgement day,

I'll know you've gone the other way,

So just to prove our love is true,

I'd go to hell to be with you.

Wilde, Oscar

Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. -Picture of Dorian Gray-

Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

In the abysmal lap of death, You I behold.

Love Poem

We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes
The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime
We'd find that our love is unaltered by time.
Lyrics to "The Anniversary Waltz," composed by Dubin/Frankl

First love is a little foolish and a lot of curiosity.

I hope you have lost your good looks for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me come out strong.

A life’s worth, in the end, isn’t measured in hours, or dollars. It’s measured by the amount of love exchanged along the way.

Anonymous

2007-04-08T17:10:00.000-07:00

This thing and you shall never part,
For the gift I give you, is all of my heart.

When travelling the path of life, and finding love along the way, everything looks new and different. Little do you know it is the same old landscape you used to see all of the time; Love has just given you new eyes.

The essential sadness is to go through life without loving. But it would be almost equally sad to leave this world without ever telling those you loved that you love them.

It's not that I can't live without you, It's that I don't even want to try.
