Love, thou art every day my Valentine! ~ Thomas Hood

Tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s day,
All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.

Grow old along with me,
the best is yet to be. ~ Robert Browning

All the love that history knows,
is said to be in every rose.
Yet all that could be found in two,
is less than what I feel for you.

Shining with flowers of every hue;

But shall love it more with you.

Your Name

I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.

~Jessica Blade

I Would Live in Your Love

I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes,
drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul as the dreams
that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats,
I would follow your soul as it leads.

~Sara Teasdale

The Gift

The priceless gift of life is love,
For with the help of God above
Love can change the human race
And make this world a better place-
For love dissolves all hate and fear
And makes our vision bright and clear
So we can see and rise above
Our pettiness on wings of love.
~Helen Steiner Rice

_____

Come live with me, and be my love, 
And we will all the pleasures prove, 
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, 
Woods or steepy mountain yields. 
~Christopher Marlowe

____

Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; 
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more: 
A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on, 
To make that thousand up a million. 
Treble that million, and when that is done, 
Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun.    
~Robert Herrick

_____

All the love that history knows,
is said to be in every rose.
Yet all that could be found in two,
is less than what I feel for you.
~author unknown
 

______

My love is like a rose
Divided into two;
The leaves I give to others,
The rose I give to you.
 

_____

Love is patient, love is kind,
Love is forever yours and mine.
