Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. – by Anaīs Nin

I know that our love is still alive – it just needs a careful polishing.

She comes not when Noon is on the roses —
Too bright is Day.
She comes not to the Soul till it reposes
From work and play.

But when Night is on the hills, and the great Voices
Roll in from Sea,
By starlight and by candlelight and dreamlight
She comes to me.
by Herbert Trench 

The sweet fragrance of last night lingers…

Come, let’s be a comfortable couple and take care of each other!
How glad we shall be, that we have somebody we are fond of always,
to talk to and sit with.
Let’s be a comfortable couple.
by Charles Dickens

Nothing is better than snuggling up with a loved one on this day!

You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
Rolling Stones

We are just over a month away from Valentine’s Day. This year instead of being disappointed by all the romantic marks my Valentine does not hit on the Big Day, I am going to think about all the little things he does to demonstrate his love for me all year long. Things like changing a flat tire, lighting the pilot light on the wall heater of my new home, crawling under the foundation to check the plumbing, climbing up on the roof to fix the chimney flue, teaching me the finer points of power tools, driving me to visit my ailing parents a thousand miles away, and going along with my foreign film choices count for a lot. Maybe giving me what I need instead of what I want is the most romantic gift of all.

We Everyday Our Love
by Phil Turner

I mechanic her car
She Tide’s my T’s
I Monday her garbage
She Friday’s my cleaning
I divide her labor
She trims my toil.

She Bonnies my Clyde
I Adam her Eve
She cheeks my touch
I rhythm her dance
She buzzes my waking
I dream her sleep.

I young her years
She discos my decades
I friend her blog
She twitters my tweets
I pony her express
She feathers my flight.

She weaves my fingers
I arm her hug
She smiles my tears
I pillow her pain
She peppers my tonic
I tang her tart.

I pumpkin her muffins
She chickens my soup
I wine her friends
She beers my buddies
I coffee her morning
She juices my day.

She blues my sky
I sun her moon
She mosses my path
I soul her walk
She lyrics my song
I sing her life.

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined…to strengthen each other…
to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.  – George Eliot

If I had known that he was going to be my only great love, I would never have let him go.
