Your favorite love poems or quotes...

Here is one of mine:





I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

that this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

So pretty!

I like 'Love is a friendship that has caught fire'

Sunny - you have FM from me :)

I love this one... including it in my wedding programs:

Soul Mates

The quiet miracle of a man and woman
Uniting as one
To travel to road of happy destiny together
Is like a sacred heaven in the sky,
The feeling of having arrived
Without ever leaving


- Jennifer M. Shepard

Our invitiation starts out with:

'I have found the one whom my soul loves'

Sunny...I *love* Pablo Neruda...and that poem especially!!

My favorite love poem...

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of our body and its bones,and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like,slowly stroking the,shocking fuzz
of your electric fur,and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh...And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new
