Love is Never a Visitor When love comes into your heart, it is never a visitor Though it may remain mysterious and unsettling to the mind It cradles itself in comfort of the heart’s most downy nest Though it may grow to immeasurable depths, The heart expands to accommodate its dimension Though it may bring pain and sorrow to your life Yet it will never be evicted Though it may steal the tranquility of your night, It is a welcomed thief and a revered pilfer Though it may flutter its wings in each breath and sigh Yet it seeks not to fly away Though love may eat away at the sanity of the mind and at the tender threads of the heart, yet it gives to the mind and heart The most needed and most exquisite nourishment of life Love is the aroma of a the garden filled with the beauteous flowers of the earth, and though it may not be embraced Yet it fills each breath with the most fragrant balm of life Though it may not be consummated by the flesh, Yet it is joined with the essence in ethereal bliss Though the other’s heart may be distant, The separation is but a veil of fragile spider strings, Softly brushed away by the imagination Though it may cut as a sword, Yet the deepness of the wound only allows more love To enter your chamber When love fills the heart and remains a lifetime, It matters not, in the end, if dreams were fulfilled It only matters that it is there Elizabeth Santos October 25, 2003 [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (11-10-2003 10:09 AM).] |

OhLizzy~ 'Though the other’s heart may be distant, The separation is but a veil of fragile spider strings, Softly brushed away by the imagination Though it may cut as a sword, Yet the deepness of the wound only allows more love To enter your chamber When love fills the heart and remains a lifetime, It matters not, in the end, if dreams were fulfilled It only matters that it is there' How I needed to read this on this day of remembering~ THANK YOU for the beauty of your thoughts~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

  (smiles) I too believe that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, and I have not yet gotten to love someone for real and hope to fulfill the void someday soon! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful and flowering with wisdom, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

You truly got to the "heart of the matter" with the message in this one, but then I live in one of your rented rooms don't I? Yes Liz, it only matters that is was or is there.  Oh, how this made me smile. |
