In the summer
I stretch out on the shore
I stretch out on the shore
And think of you
Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me.

''Love is temporary insanity curable by marriage.''
If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?
A delicious insanity where your soul soar into new horizons not known to others. When you are burned by its fire and yet long for more. Sweet love. They say dead is who never experienced it.

It is most unwise for people in love to marry.
George Bernard Shaw
Humm I bet he found another love !

One way to end a relation is to say. Honey I think it is too early to marry!

"Love is a noble act of self-giving, offering trust, faith, and loyalty. The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are; you end up being complete with your loved ones."

What is love?
I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.
''Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.''
''After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.''

''Grativation is not possible for people falling in love.''
my apologies for the error.

Accepted!! :)
here it goes again,the correct quote....:)
''Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.''
Love is like the wind.. You can't see it, but you can feel it."

''Never allow someone to be your priority,while allowing yourself to be their option.''
''Sometimes it requires only a stronger pair of spectacles to cure the lover, and he who had the imagination to picture a face, a figure twenty years older would perhaps pass through life very undisturbed.''

Well they say ''love is blind'',so what use spectacles be to such a person???? But this type of blindness due to so called ''love'' has a cure also called marriage. Quite effective to restore eyesight in shortest possible time :)
Love is a decision not an emotion or feeling,
that if made from the heart will outlast anything...

I read once a story where love didnot end in marriage.It didn't fade away infact it lasts for eternity. SOmetimes unfed love burners stronger than fed one.

''Never allow someone to be your priority,while allowing yourself to be their option.''
I agree but that how a woman loves. Women out there take this advice ( i better learn !)
TiNy
Right. But reality is mostly quite the opposite of fiction. One should try to understand whether whatever is considered as 'love' in our world today is actually so or some other feeling named as love? It is better if we have a better definition/concept of love which transcends the boundarys of time,age and contain elements of respect and care,kindness of higher degree, if we want this love to grow with time. It should not be limited to two people only but with a goal of bringing good to each other and to a wider circle of people through this mutual relationship.....if not then it is should is just noting just a myth.
That left me speechless I totally agree. we translate feelings like attractiveness, admiration and being comfortable with someone as love. That’s the first trick, then we start to build this emotion up until it haunts us and turns to more than admiration. In no time we are in love and once we see the imperfection of the other side the feeling just fades away. To me love is when I reach into his heart and mind and he does in return.
TiNy
correction
** if not, then it is nothing but just a myth....
Myths are inspiring and we do need inspiration in this world. Love is a seed planted within us it is far too true to be a myth. I believe in love it is just too difficult to find.
TiNy
Tell you the truth I realy want to know the definition of love? What ever I wrote here is how I see it. The way people define it is quite confusing for me atleast or maybe I am quite dumb. But I like my version as its not limited.:)
''I know I am searching for something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night.''
Once or though I thought I was in love, I was able to feel his presence before he came. I couldn’t eat before my heart would pray that he already had. When I see him it was enough for me. He was the centre in which everything evolved. Living in constant fire. You see it all involved with a strange magical feeling. A feeling in which you do not belong to your self anymore but to someone else. A feeling so overwhelming capturing your heart and the core of your being, where you become so tender and the smallest touch or thought make you cry.
TiNy
Well! isn't this attraction? To me it is.
Love is something else.What?
love begins by attraction and then grows like a plant.But yes attraction and admiration are the first signs of love if they last longer and start eating you up even if you try to ignore them then it is turning into love
TiNy
True love is when you are certain you can(willing) sacrify your self,your life for her.
TiNy
No!
''There is a way to do it better-find it.''
Have you find it?
No. Well I have my own idea about it, but I want to know how others look at it. Maybe what they is better than what I know.
when I asked my freinds, they all said "it can not be explained by words. You will just know when you are in love, you will feel it"
TiNy
This is what people typically say about it if you ask them,then confuse it with a lot of other feelings which according to them is love and then end up with nothing. But I have a big confusion and disagreement about how these definitions or fellings or whatever....
Confusion = love that's why it is unidentified sickness.
TiNy
Don't worry too much when time comes you will know.The tremble, the silent questions, the fire ... You will know.

Love is a feeling,which I think, no other part of the body except heart is capable to carry.
We, the humans were created with a purpose, which each one of us has to find out in order to make life beautiful for others.How?
This feeling called 'love' which according to many is capable of generating so many other good feelings in the hearts of two individuals in love with each other should not be limited to themselves only. It could be a divine way of guiding us towards that eternal love for which we were created. It could be as our first step towards our Master,which brings peace and tranquality into the lives of those experiancing this feeling.
The wrong which we do is to limit ourselves,our feelings to two or few individuals only. Otherwise this 'love' can be everlasting if it contains the aim of making each others lives as well as of those around, in minor and major circle of life, better than today and yesterday.
love has many faces it is not limited between only two.it could be also mono like the love in your heart for everything. love of others your mom and family and friends, love nature love of cultures,love of God love of animals are laso different faces of love even love of shapes and coulors. It does bring us closer and makes us form a better understanding of our world , if we are opened to love.
TiNy

I ment solo not mono

''we cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.''
“If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.”
If you treat them with love they will stay.

love is like faith cannot be forced.
Then try to be kind to them
TiNy
kindness brings love.Infact it is another form of love

Don't be yourself! be someone a little nicer!

''To be in love is merely to be
In a state of perpetual anesthesia:
To mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god
Or an ordinary young woman for a goddess.''
I think...therefore, I'm single.
By all means marry, if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher
Love hits like a strike in no time or space. Once you ignore it, you will deprive yourself from the most wonderful feelings God ever created in man. Poor is he who never felt in love. No DEAD is he who never felt in love.
TiNy
"For one human being to love another:
that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks;
the ultimate, the last test and proof,
the work for which all other work is but preparation."
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.
''Love is like a rumor,everyone talks about it but noone truely knows.''
Life is a quest and love a quarrel ...
TiNy
"Love has the power of making you believe what you would normally treat with the deepest suspicion."
To be is to do.
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
TiNy
You can never lose what you never had...
There is no loss in love, only a gain.
TiNy
''My God, these folks don't know how to love-thats why they love so easily.''
I hate it when people confuse the words 'like' and 'love'; 'like' is when you know the best side of someone and like them ... 'love' is when you know the worst side that someone could ever have, and you still love that person with everything you have in your heart."
Therefore,love is hard
TiNy
''Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is.''
Love is so simple...
''He loves but little who can say and count in words, how much he loves.''
Love is a thing that is abstract. Can not be tested in labs like diseases. You believe in God and yet you can’t see him so is love. Still questioning love! It’s like smiling there is no specific organ in your body responsible to cause it yet you smile. You don’t stop to find how and why you’re smiling. Likewise, love is an inner state of feelings a mystical emotions, a miracle, a spark within that can not be proved unless one experiences it, with the right or the wrong person. How hard is that to understand?
TiNy
The wondrous feeling of being in love, they say, cannot be expressed in words alone. But this hasn't stopped us from trying. Oceans of ink have been spilled in hopes of capturing love in all its many forms."

Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away."
TiNy
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."

The more things change, the more they remain the same...
''That which needs to be proved cannot be worth much.''
I don't believe it. Prove it to me and I still won't believe it.
Love is born of faith , it doesn’t need to be proven

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
~ Plato
TiNy
Then why there are so few good poets when almost every person proclaim to be a lover nowadays....:) Poetry is not every ones job.
well it is as you said "you bereft me of all words,
Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,
The majority are lost of words but they speak with their veins and silly actions :)
TiNy
isn't it poetic when you say you are more beautiful than the moon. You are a flower but it is very widely used that it is not considered poetic any more
TiNy
I would like to say thanks to Shakespeare, for lending me his words:)
Now its going against the words of yours....''Oceans of ink have been spilled in hopes of capturing love in all its many forms.'' Or is everyone in love...the poets...using that magic ink to write their poetry???
Whoever has the talent can pour the ink to sculpture words of wonders. Manipulating words is as difficult as love can be. However, as I said there are those, the unprivileged who cannot even find the right words to represent their feelings. That’s why we have one Shakespeare. I think we have many the sees will flowed and the words will be meaningless
TiNy
correcting
I think if we have many, the seas will flood.
TiNy
:) meaningless
''When a man is in love
how can he use old words?''
“If not a poet quote”
but why quote just say what you feel even if it was simple that is enough
TiNy
I believe in "BE YOUR SELF"
TiNy
Think what would have happened to Shakespeare if the people like me would not have quoted him?
These people have said so much for us so why not give them the pleasure, knowing that out there in todays world,there is someone who reads them and quote them:)
Have you ever thought how people expressed love when there were no words invented, long long time ago? Or should we assume them as incapable to to have or even know this feeling?
that's what I suggested "quote" Quote them if they truly represent your feelings. Salute to all great poets and philosophers who wrote words of wisdom. However, only a man with an inner poet would use them. Thus making you a poet sort of.
TiNy
refer to May 5 in the blog.There is another feeling of love
TiNy
Poetry is not always words.
My actions speak for me
TiNy
Try to be famous through your work.When you are famous everyone knows what you said even if the name is not mentioned. ''..'' this also shows that the text belongs to someone else:)
What happened on May 5?
Irrelevant here but,
“Shakespeare was a dramatist of note who lived by writing things to quote.” :)
if what he wrote it for living then it is all untrue. Yet no one knows if they are true feelings sent as a message to someone in disguise.
TiNy
on May 5 you asked for the translation of the poem which describes another state of love
TiNy
Wow! I asked for the translation?
You know me? Who am I?
''Is it possible for the bodily eyes to see You?
Can thought comprehend Your laughter or grief?
Tell me now, can it possibly see You at all?
Such a heart has only borrowed things to live with.
The garden of love is green without limit
and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy.
Love is beyond either condition:
without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh.''
first I know that there is only you in the blog so it was easy!
second, i disagree love is not always fresh it has its ups and downs which makes it more firey which makes it either continue or die.spices of life could come mild ,hot or extra hot.
TiNy
No, its not only me,there are more people here also. Don't want to take credit of their writings.

''Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments: love is not love

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive
''The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.''
The quarrels of lovers are like summer storms. Everything is more beautiful when they have passed.
TiNy
you mean when the lovers are passed? :)

We pass through this world but once.
Then we become a legend, existence is for eternity.
