Love
Two of my favorite love poems. I thought I'd share them with you guys in the spirit of Valentine's Day. Feel free to post your own favorite love poems or quotes!
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) ~e.e. cummings 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 And a quote from a E.A. Poe poem, Annabell Lee. The poem isn't romantic as a whole, but I love this line: "We loved with a love that was more than love."

This is what I always end up feeling when I have a problem with somebody.

Angie, beautiful poems!! and Judy, wow, they were so young, and life was so much simpler then. The Vietnam war was going on, but I was just a child, and life was simpler.

Life was simpler then and so sweet. But I do still think that if I can dig down really deep inside and find something to love about a person, the issues usually can be solved easily. I always think of that one line, "All you need is love." Angie, those poems are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
