THE wild bee reels from bough to bough
With his furry coat and his gauzy wing.
Now in a lily-cup, and now
Setting a jacinth bell a-swing,
In his wandering;
Sit closer love: it was here I trow
I made that vow,
Swore that two lives should be like one
As long as the sea-gull loved the sea,
As long as the sunflower sought the sun,
It shall be, I said, for eternity
’Twixt you and me!
Dear friend, those times are over and done,
Love’s web is spun.

If thou must love me, let it be for naught
Except for love’s sake only. Do not say
“I love her for her smile…her look…her way of speaking gently—
For a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day.”
For these things in themselves, beloved, may be changed, or changed
for thee-and love so wrought may be unwrought so.
Neither love me for thine own dear pity’s wiping my cheeks dry—
A creature might forget to weep, who bore their comfort long,
and lose their love thereby.
But love me for love’s sake, that evermore thou mayst love on,
Through love’s eternity.
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee:
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
Thy heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persevere
Then when we live no more, we may live ever.

I dream of Genie, the magic of my life,
with an aura of angel, and so shiny eyes !!!
For a wish, I just rub my Heart,
She come in front, and I just start,
“Oh! Sweet Genie; theirs one thing I demand”
“Ask me a wish, and it would be my command”
“Excuse me” Genie says, “That Job was mine”
“You gave me your heart, a place so devine”
“Just make a wish! The pleasure is all mine!!!”
I say “You are a miracle, my dream come true”
“Since you love me & I love you”,
“You are the only wish of my life”
“just tell me, would you be my wife??”
