"Whether or not Love commenced transforms into true,
All depends upon how much is invested by the hearts of two."

"It's easy to Love the good in one and the joy to us they bring. 
During the blissful times when with joy our hearts will sing.
But when one hurts the other, causing grief and dismay,
And still the Love remains through it and in spite of anyway,
This is the Love we long for, true, surreal, and sublime,
The True Love that endures all, withstands the test of time."

But few reach this level of True Love most have in their quest,
Because so few are truly willing to of all themselves invest.
Partial effort or a part of themselves is not what is enough,
For whatever is needed must be given to and for True Love.

With all the Elements of Love, there can no shortage be,
Like Trust, Forgiveness, Compassion dressed in Humility.
In True Love there is no place for egos and their pride,
Because egos breed the negatives, inviting a divide.

Love is being kind, affectionate, about the other caring more
Than for thyself and True Love keeps no record or no score.
True Love is a journey that two souls travel on together,
Where two hearts remain connected through all kinds of weather.

Both hearts must care equally and Love each other with respect,
Domination, possessiveness, and jealousy, all these reject.
Neither heart is more important for both compliment the whole,
Both hearts are invaluable in body, mind, and soul.

True Love begins with Love, a spark of igniting the fire,
But only Love that grows and deepens won’t ever then expire,
Transforming into True Love few couples find obtainable,
For although Love’s present, the Love’s so often unsustainable.

When some Elements of Love are missing or in short supply
And/or Love’s opposites are allowed to invade and amplify,
The all that most expect and if not willing to give the same,
Most then come up short without True Love as theirs to claim.

The True Love Journey, an elusive journey, most all hope to find,
But few are willing to truly invest all, their heart, soul, and mind.
For this reason few find True Love after Love’s initial spark,
Because the Flame of Love burns out before they can upon, embark.

The Dream Of My Life... Has just come true,
For The Dream Of My Life...Is marrying you!

From the lady... To cherish and love...  To have and to hold...  From this day forward...  As we grow old. I’m so richly blessed, My life’s become whole, For sharing it with you, The mate of my soul. Before you, my dear, I was broken and beat, You wrapped me in love, Now healed and complete. You rescued my heart My gallant knight From a heartless king And his wicked plight. My heart that was torn In shreds so tattered, Bruised and abused Viciously battered, Ever so gently With patience so rare, You pieced it together, Tenderly with care. So, to my heart, The key I give To my castle as well With my king I’ll live. My husband, my lover, My very best friend, My love is forever, Of time, ‘til the end.

From the gentleman... For richer or for poorer... I’ll remain by your side... In sickness or in health... With you, I’ll reside. My life is now richer, Poor it cannot be, Unless my dear love, You’re not with me. For without you, my love, I’m a half, barely so, But with you, I’m whole, My heart is aglow. I’m infected with love, An incurable bug It can only be treated With your each tender hug. With daily doses of kisses From your sweet lips of wine, And romantic encounters On, our loving to dine, Are all that I need To keep my infliction at bay And your presence must linger Onward, day after day. My overall health, My happiness, too, My richness of spirit, Depends upon you. My woman, my lady, My friend, my wife, My love is forever, For the rest of my life.

...Lady and Gentleman together...
Yes, The Dream Of Our Lives
Has at last come true,
For The Dream Of Our Lives
We now share, me and you!

"For Love to thrive, it takes two,
Both invested to make it True."
~ Quotes by Artsieladie

True-Love

Hello all, from Artsieladie! ♥

Finding Love is the relatively easy part. The Love once found, must be cultivated by both of the two in Love with each other. They both must be committed to the Love between them to not only keep it alive but also so the Love will thrive and Love that endures over time through the testing life does and still remains strong becomes then True Love. ♥

True Love cannot be found, for it's cultivated Love,
That is nurtured and cherished by only those of
Who are committed to another, selfishness surpassed,
Who are willing to run the course to make the Love last.

True Love for most is just a dream and is nothing more
Because few have what it takes for Love to mature.
True Love evolves from Love being tried and tested
And those who stay the course, steady and invested.

True Love does depend and relies upon the heart
Of the two committed not of the physical part.
The heart is made to Love, to grow and to maintain.
Since True Love's everlasting, the physical can't sustain,

True Love, the rarest of gems for even when Love is found,
Few can take the ride required across uneven ground.
True Love requires sacrifice from both hearts involved,
With acute awareness that issues must be resolved.

Love can only last and blossom into True
When Honesty is practiced by both, the two.
Being Real is an extremely important factor,
The stage kept genuine without actress or actor.

Respect for each other is an absolute must.
Without Respect mutually, the Love will be a bust.
Clear Communication rules out assumptions to be made
That can crack the foundation to weaken Love and fade.

Egos must be kept in check and never come between
And ego's derivative, pride, kept vacant from the scene.
Compassion must be present, must be the daily bread,
With Kindness of words and gestures upon each other spread.

Forgiveness must and always play a key, top role,
For grudges and resentment become a costly toll
When mistakes are made and will be on each side.
With Forgiveness front and center, Love will then preside.

For True Love to unfold from the Love being found,
Friendship between the two will maintain a solid ground.
Romance must be nurtured to keep alive the magic,
For should the fire go out, the result could be tragic.

Frequent reminiscing, a review of memories made,
As new ones are added but with the old not to trade.
Expand upon the Love album with no limit set,
Making more memories to cherish and not forget.

From where the Love began, allow no memory lapse,
The attraction will stay fresh to resist a Love collapse.
For where the Love had its beginning, the initial spark,
Is also what will keep the Love from succumbing to the dark.

The initial attraction holds the beauty of the other's heart
And when kept in sight, the beauty won't depart
When life piles on its ugliness with great dimension,
The beauty won't be lost or caught up in dissension.

True Love cannot be found, for it's cultivated Love,
That is nurtured and cherished by only those of
Who are committed to another, selfishness surpassed,
Who are willing to run the course to make the Love last.

"True Love is a Garden of Love cultivated by two,
Two hearts committed to their Love to turn it into True."
~ Quotes by Artsieladie

Lasting-Love

Hello all, from Artsieladie! ♥

Too often we are attracted to the outer or physical person and this is what we fall in Love with, but to really Love a person, you must Love who they are 'as a person on the inside', The packaging will change and deteriorate, become less and less beautiful but the 'contents inside the package' are less changeable and will become more beautiful over time. ♥

When searching for
Love look for a heart,
One that's true and the vital part
To Love sustain, make sublime,
Will only grow better with passing time.

Remember...

The face will age, the hair will thin,
The body will change with wrinkled skin,
But a loyal heart will loyal remain,
Through sunshine and through pouring rain.

Time won't change a heart that's true,
Instead will strengthen and keep Love new.
While with all the rest, age will show,
A loyal heart will always glow.

LOVE...
... is patient
... is kind
Does not look for fault to find.
... listens well
... is understanding
Neither controlling nor demanding.
... does not envy
... does not boast
Is not an ego feeding host.
... shows pride for the other
... uplifts and defends
Pride for self with lesser trends.
... is not arrogant
... is not rude
Is not with selfish attitude.
... keeps things real
... rebukes all fakes
Records not other's past mistakes.
... is slow to anger
... is quick to reason
With forgiveness kept in season.
... rejoices in truth
... promotes trust
Rejecting all evil is a must.
... does not lie
... does not deceive
In respect it does believe.
... always guards
... always protects
Opposition to, always deflects.
... always hopes
... always dreams
Always builds self esteems.
... is never succumbing
... is always prevailing
When kept pure, never failing.

Missing-Piece

Hello all, from Artsieladie! ♥

 "Missing Piece"

Full-Size is 2500x2100 The max Google will display it is 2048x1720 https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGEEjGibG6iniyM8ibWtNERr7Iyvk8nmgnYO1g2vhuEhPzpR1KOErJiAyHlFT_zcnZrr5RhLI8GYA5fSUCOJzpfnNEQ_bW6-MGnmNucZok5wbCxT6js57AlDpo4l_h1ACcsV_KhnQlRhQ/s2048/MissingPieceByArtsieladie2014-11-22_2500x2100.png
A hopeless romantic, in Love I believe,
In Love that's True, not to deceive,
For deception's not Love nor is possession,
Nor to be controlled by jealous obsession.

Not looking for sex that can be found anywhere,
But for the One True Heart, exceedingly rare
To complete Love's puzzle, never to cease,
The only One Heart, the Missing Piece.

Only One Heart will interlock with mine
And mine with his, fusing Love Divine.
Like the glass slipper for one foot made,
The Missing Piece, can with no other trade.

But like the glass slipper, several times tried,
True Love wasn't to be and so, was denied,
Leaving my heart to long for, with hope, not quit,
Til the one heart's found and is the perfect fit.

It matters not where my heart's led to,
As long as I'm with my One Love True,
For my deepest longing, due long past,
Is to be in the arms of my True Love at last.

So still I search, still hoping to find,
The One True Heart to be entwined
With my own at last to feel the real
And to know at last True Love surreal.

The question is, am I this heart yet to meet
Or is he among those I know but too discreet?
Either way, my heart desires to know.
Dear Missing Piece, to my heart please show!
