First love story
“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”
Lit the nights
“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.”
Love is omnipotent
“I want to see you. Know your voice. Recognize you when you first come ’round the corner. Sense your scent when I come into a room you’ve just left. Know the lift of your heel, the glide of your foot. Become familiar with the way you purse your lips then let them part, just the slightest bit, when I lean in to your space and kiss you. I want to know the joy of how you whisper “more.”
Love without boundaries
“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”
Love from heart
“Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.” “Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes.”
Essence of love
“Love so needs to love that it will endure almost anything, even abuse, just to flicker for a moment. But the sky’s mouth is kind, its song will never hurt you, for I sing those words.”
Love embraces all
“Be certain that in the religion of Love there are no believers and unbelievers. LOVE embraces all.”
Love without separation
“Make your last journey from this strange world, soar for the heights,where there is no more separation of you and your home. God has created your wings not to be dormant, as long as you are alive you must try more and more to use your wings to show you’re alive”
Love is teacher
“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
Love is ubiquitous
“I am filled with you. Skin, blood, bone, brain, and soul. There’s no room for lack of trust, or trust. Nothing in this existence but that existence.”
