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.
