Of Love

        When young men and women hear the word love, they immediately think of its connotations: puppy love, adolescent relationships, courtship and all that things synonymous to the previous statements. But, love, if perseveringly nurtured and watered with time and communication, will bloom into a garden that exudes all the most beautiful fragrances in the world, filled with flowers of different colors and kinds. Here goes some poems and quotes that speak about sincere love, uncorrupted by worldliness and selfish desires:

Mad about the boy,
It's pretty funny but I'm mad about the boy
He has a gay appeal
that makes me feel
There may be something sad about the boy.

-Noel Coward, British dramatist, actor, and songwriter.

        Sometimes, women take on their motherly instincts and become compelled to comfort and take care of someone they barely know. That because there might be something sad about the boy, they think they are capable of satisfying the needs of the person, and ultimately making them happy. They lose themselves in the delusion that someone needs them, and later hurt themselves when the person they want to take care of declares they don’t need or don’t want any affection at all. It’s sad, but fairly realistic. :’)

JULIET Give me my Romeo: and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

William Shakespeare, English poet and playwright.

        Beautifully said, Shakespeare! :) Sometimes, we just can’t find enough adjectives or form the perfect sentence to correctly and adequately express the very emotions bursting from within our hearts. Shakespeare must have been in love so many times or else, he’d just be a very moody and emotional writer. :)

She looked at him, as one who awakes:
The past was a sleep, and her life began.

Robert Browning, British poet.

        When we love, we leave everything else behind and we look forward to a future of uncertainty. We take each step forward with the person we love, notwithstanding the possibility that one moment things may fall apart, the person may find another lover and walk away, or God blows a great wind of change into our lives and things turn the other way around. There is no certitude when we are in love, just the face of our beloved filling our imaginations and a heart filled with hope and faith. :)
