Mike & Carrie

How Do I Love Thee?
Let Me Count The Ways.

How Do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need; by sun and candle-light
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right:
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints
I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life! and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

She Walks In Beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless clims and staryy skies
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies

One shade the more, I ray the less.
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face, where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place

And on that cheek and o'er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below
A heart whose love is innocent
by Lord Byron

"O thou art fairer than the evening air. Claud in the beauty of a thousand stars."
- Marlowe
"The sweetest flower that blows, I give you as we part. For you it is a rose. For me it is my heart."

You Are


You are
The foundation
On which I rest.

My strength,
My hope,
My love of life.

The rock That will anchor my soul

To reality,
Throughout eternity.

Though others
Push me
To the edge of insanity,
I could
Never lose
My vision of you.

When
, In my need
For privacy,

I drive
The rest
Of the world away,

I will Always
Need you next to me,
To share who I am.

If,
For any reason,
You should leave me,
I would
Remain happy
For the rest of my life,

Knowing that
Even for a short time,

I loved,
And was loved.

"To have found love is to be complete; for you are no longer in search for that missing part of yourself."
