(Introduction)

If all those glittering monarchs that command the servile quarters of this earthly ball should tender in exchange their shares of land, I would not change my fortunes for them all. Their wealth is but a counter to my coin... the world is but theirs; but my beloved is mine.

You know you're in love when you think about that person, and your stomach gets all fuzzy and squishy.

Love is when the woman of your dreams becomes a reality and sleep stops being a priority.

(Introduction)

It's always more than sex to sleep with you.
Don't get me wrong; I like to tangle sheets
and hungry scents and taste the salty dew
of glistening sweat where heavy brow meets
soft eyelids closed, relaxed. I'll kiss them, too,
and sample other slow seduction sweets.
But I run out of juice, won't thump my chest
and say I don't, and so I like the rest:
I like to lie, arms wrapped around you, deep
in comfortable darkness where the moon projects
odd patterns on the walls. I want to keep
you safe and warm as winter licks our necks.
You mumble love and slowly fall asleep;
these moments worth much more than simple sex.

[stolen from Musings of Brian J. Noggle]

Bloggrandaughter Army Wife says it best:

"...just give each other a soft place to fall."

Whether you're celebrating joy, coping with tragedy, or doing anything in between, if you make this the golden rule of your marriage, you'll do fine.

Congratulations Frank J. and Sarah K.

It only takes a second to say "I love you", but it will take a lifetime to show you how much.

1 It only takes a second for other things too I bet And that lifetime thing? You should lay off the viagra. They do get bored after the first few hours.

3 Of course, when drunk it takes longer to slur that. Hopefully it takes you longer to say it than actually do it. (I'm visiting my mom, and that's her comment.)

[Something a little different tonight. Amanda of Aussie Wife sent me a link to a poem she wrote for her husband. I'm stealing it and modifying it slightly to make it better fit my situation. Please go read the original at her place, though. Figure if I send her enough traffic, she won't be upset by my sneakthievery]

In the morning's clear light
I study the face I know so well
I am filled with a boundless love
as my gaze travels over familiar curves and contours
I see the peacefulness that deep sleep brings
when the essence of the person hides within
then she awakes and the face is transformed
a sleepy smile and a request for morning loving
the weekend has begun

(Introduction)

Had I no eyes but ears, my ears would love
That inward beauty and invisible;
Or were I deaf, thy outward parts would move
Each part in me that were but sensible:
Though neither eyes nor ears, to hear nor see,
And nothing but the very smell were left me,

Yet should I be in love by touching thee.
Say, that the sense of feeling were bereft me,
And that I could not see, nor hear, nor touch,
Yet would my love to thee be still as much;

To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.

Love is born with the pleasure of looking at each other, it is fed with the necessity of seeing each other, it is concluded with the impossibility of separation.

We turned on one another with deep, drowned gazes, and exchanged a kiss that reduced my bones to rubber and my brain to gruel.

Do I love her?
More with every breath I take.
Every word she speaks, every deed, every word she writes.
I love her more.
Never have I had this feeling before.
I adore her!

You know what real love is when just thinking of your lover - maybe something they did before, or just the thought - gives you chills all over your body.
