Love Quotes and Poems by Robert Sexton

1. Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away; 

and all the things I want to say can find no voice. 

Then, in silence, I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart.

2. There is no moment of my life when you are not a part of me; 

you hold my heart; you guard my soul; 

you guide my dreams so tenderly and if my will might be done, 

and all I long for could come true, 

with perfect joy I would choose to share eternity with you.

3. In a time when nothing is more certain than change, 

the commitment of two people to one another 

has become difficult and rare. 

Yet, by its scarcity, 

the beauty and value of this exchange have only been enhanced.

4. I will ask no more of life than this: 

that I might love you through all my days, 

and that you may find both peace and joy 

in the constancy of my heart.

5. Across the years I will walk with you 

– in deep green forests; on shores of sand: 

and when our time on earth is through, 

in heaven, too, you will have my hand.

6. Through all of our seasons this will be certain; 

this will be constant, shining and true:
with the gift of your heart you gave my life meaning; 

and I’ll spend a lifetime cherishing you.

7. And we shall walk through all our days 

with love remembered and love renewed.

Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog by Taylor Mali

First of all, it’s a big responsibility

So think long and hard before deciding on love.

On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security: when you’re walking down the street late at night and you have a leash on love

ain’t no one going to mess with you.

Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable.

Who knows what love could do in its own defense?

On cold winter nights, love is warm.

It lies between you and lives and breathes

and makes funny noises.

Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.

It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.

Love doesn’t like being left alone for long.

But come home and love is always happy to see you.

It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,

but you can never be mad at love for long.

Is love good all the time? No! No!

Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.

Love makes messes.

Love leaves you little surprises here and there.

Love needs lots of cleaning up after.

Sometimes you just want to get love fixed.

Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper and swat love on the nose,

not so much to cause pain,

just to let love know: Don’t you ever do that again!

Sometimes love just wants to go for a nice long walk.

Because love loves exercise.

It runs you around the block and leaves you panting.

It pulls you in several different directions at once,

or winds around and around you

until you’re all wound up and can’t move.

But love makes you meet people wherever you go.

People who have nothing in common but love

stop and talk to each other on the street.

Throw things away and love will bring them back,

again, and again, and again.

But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.

And in return, love loves you and never stops.

OH! THE PLACES YOU’LL GO! by Dr. Seuss

OH! THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!   by Dr Seuss

"Congratulations! Today is your day.

You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

You’re on your own.

And you know what you know.

And YOU are the couple who’ll decide where to go.

You’ll look up and down streets.

Look ‘em over with care.

About some you will say, “We don’t choose to go there.”

With your heads full of brains and your shoes full of feet,

you’re too smart to go down, any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any you’ll want to go down.

In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town.

It’s opener there in the wide open air,

Out there things can happen and frequently do

to people as brainy and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew.

Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.

 Oh! The places you’ll go!

You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights!

You’ll join the high fliers who soar to great heights!

You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have all the speed.

You’ll pass the whole gang, and you’ll soon take the lead.

Wherever you fly you’ll be best of the best.

Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Except when you don’t. Because sometimes, you won’t.

You’ll get mixed up of course, as you already know.

You’ll get mixed up with so many strange birds as you go.

So be sure when you step.

Step with great care and great tact

and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act.

Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.

And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed?

Yes! You will indeed!

(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)

Kids, you’ll move mountains!

So, be your name Buxbaum or Dowrie or Bass

or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea,

you’re off to great places!

Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting.

So … get on your way!"

Mereces un amor de Frida Kahlo

“Mereces un amor que te quiera despeinada,

con todo y las razones que te levantan de prisa,

con todo y los demonios que no te dejan dormir.

Mereces un amor que te haga sentir segura,

que pueda comerse al mundo si camina de tu mano, que sienta que tus abrazos van perfectos con su piel.

Mereces un amor que quiera bailar contigo,

que visite el paraíso cada que mira tus ojos,

y que no se aburra nunca de leer tus expresiones.

Mereces un amor que te escuche cuando cantas,

que te apoye en tus ridículos,

que respete que eres libre,

que te acompañe en tu vuelo, que no le asuste caer.

Mereces un amor que se lleve las mentiras,

que te traiga la ilusión, el café y la poesía.”

Frida Kahlo
