Love



"True love is knowing a person's faults and loving them even more for them."



Sonnet 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments
Love is not love which altars when alteration finds
or bends with the remover to remove
Oh no, It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on Tempest
and is never shaken
Its is the star to every wandering bark
Whose worth is unknown although his height be taken
Love's not time's fool
Through rose lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come
Love altars not with his brief hours and weeks
But bears it out even to the edge of doom
If this be error upon me proved
I never writ nor no man ever loved
Shakespeare

Top 11 List for Life:
1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with never say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lost it, but it's also true that we know what we've beenm missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a mintue to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to gorget someone. 6. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem brighgt.

7. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. 8. Always put yourself in other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts them too.

9. A careless word may kindle a strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

10. THe happiest of people don't necessarily have th best of everything, they just make the most of the everything that comes their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

"Love is an irresistable desire to be irresistably desired." -Robert Frost
"Love cannot live where there is not trust." -E.H. Mythology
"Love is patient, love is kind...it protects, always trusts, always hopes,always perseveres. Love never fails." -1 Corinthians 13:4,7-8
"Love surpasses all entities." -Dempsey Augustine
"Love is wealth, love is fortune." -Dempsey Augustine.
Grandpa: "Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that rated the most passionate, the most pure... this one left them all behind." -Princess Bride
Love is...
 Love is to be cherished in our hearts and in our souls. It knows only itself. It takes every breathe of life in our souls to keep ourselves from the world's troubles. It has taken our sorrow and turned it into happiness. Yet love cannot endure without the constant compassion of one's heart to thy neighbor to thee love will endure to thee love will endure. One cannot love without the love of someone other than thyself. One cannot die without being loved and to love another person. Even a forsaken heart cannot die without knowing he or she is loved. At the time of our death someone will love and care for one soul and love them forever.

Upon a pedestal does this man stand

Beauty that is of such infinite splendor

So fair a skin has he and so soft a hand

In all her thoughts does her body surrender

She take a glimpse and ask those young maidens

Is he not the ideal image of perfection?



But through his eyes of amber, she is laden

Scorned with hate, anger, chaos and confusion

Alas, his love is but unrequited

She, merely a grain of sand on shore beaches

Her admiration carelessly blighted

Through her soul and heart does his rebuff reach



Although his love for her has been denied

Her love will remain or her heart belied

 OH DEAR PRINCE

Oh dear prince, why does thou not love thee?
Pale skinned beauty and pomegranate lips
Dark brown tresses curled at the tips
Eyes of amber through which you see
And flights of angels adorn thee


Oh dear prince, image of perfection
Take thy soul and embrace thine submission
Art thou not a noble man?
Take thy heart and use it well
Mend it if needs be!


Oh dear prince, why does thou not love thee?
Is it thy timid nature, thy dark black tresses
Or thy burning desire for those tender kisses
That daunts thy heart to be free
Mend it if needs be!


Oh dear, prince of sages
King of apprentices
Are thou not the man I conceive of?
A lonely heart full of love,
Compassion, and what dreams are made of


Oh dear! Prince of love
Brazen before the hearth of certain failure
I ask thee what does thou desire
Tresses of straw, no sign of flaws
Soft crème skin to touch at thy whim?


Oh Prince dear, I see
You must not be the one for me
Pale skinned beauty wth pomegranate lips,
You are only a dream it seems
A dream that was never to be


~Dempsey Augustine
