A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.
The heart that Loves . . .
stays forever young
not only something you feel,
it is something you do."

Fulfillment
Poet: William Cavendish
There is no happier life
But in a wife;
The comforts are so sweet
When two do meet.
'Tis plenty, peace, a calm
Like dropping balm;
Love's weather is so fair,
Like perfumed air.
Each word such pleasure brings
Like soft-touched stirrings;
Love's passion moves the heart
On either part;
Such harmony together,
So pleased in either.
No discords; concords still;
Sealed with one will.
By love, God made man one,
Yet not alone.
Like stamps of king and queen
It may be seen:
Two figures on one coin,
So do they join,
Only they not embrace.
We, face to face.

My Luve is like a Red Red Rose
by Robert Burns
O, my luve is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
My luve is like a melodie,
That's sweetly played in tune.
So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.
And fare the weel, my only luve,
And fare the well awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

Gentle The Love
by John McLeod, ©1989
Gentle the love that flows from caring hands,
Friendship is a flower that grows and understands
That gentle love will ever light the way
Towards enchantment's ever brightening day.
For Love is a song that lights the darkest place
And shines eternal,
Blessed with joy and grace!

Where Love Resides….
Poet: Jaymac, (c)
Where Love resides
You'll find the sunlight clear
Golden and warm
To guild each passing year
Where Love resides
You'll find a rainbow too
Soft colours that enhance
And Hope renew
Where Love resides
There is no 'Time' as such
Gentle and true
Its own eternal touch
Love has such sunlight
Where no falsehood hides
Eternal colours true
Where Love resides!

If Thou Must Love Me, Let It Be For Nought
Poet: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
'I love her for her smile-her look-her way
Of speaking gently,-for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'-
For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may
Be changed, or change for thee,-and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,-
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.

The Ragged Wood
William Butler Yeats
O hurry where by water among the trees
The delicate-stepping stag and his lady sigh,
When they have but looked upon their images—
Would none had ever loved but you and I!
Or have you heard that sliding silver-shoed
Pale silver-proud queen-woman of the sky,
When the sun looked out of his golden hood?—
O that none ever loved but you and I!
O hurty to the ragged wood, for there
I will drive all those lovers out and cry—
O my share of the world, O yellow hair!
No one has ever loved but you and I.

Where Is That Love?
by John McLeod, ©1989
Where is that love we all search for
The 'gold' at rainbow's end?
To walk in dreams that distant shore
Seeking a timeless Friend. . .
Beyond the measuring is where
All Dreams and Hopes reside,
Across the moments outwith Time
Joy's river deep and wide.
Where is that love we all search for
And see to understand,
When will we find that secret door
To Happiness's Land?
Sudden to find at journey's end
Within, so clear and true,
The Love we sough, the gentle Friend
Awaits for you!

Love is Enough
Poet: William Morris
Love is enough: though the World be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds pass'd over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter;
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.

A Broken Heart
Poet: K. Summers
My heart was broke
When you said you were going away
I loved you so much
But you did not care
What was it you wanted
I just couldn't be-fant it
