love
Cold is relative
When you’re shivering with loss, let love keep you warm with memories.

Connections
Those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into infinity.

Asymmetrical kisses
Asymmetrical kisses,
the sexiest yearning —
one lip on nostalgia, the
other, love yet earning
—Terri Guillemets
Little thriving without roots
Live for the roots
Love the green
Dance with the blossoms
—Terri Guillemets
Threads
Life is woven of love and death, aches and smiles, persistence and letting go.
—Terri Guillemets
Hard life, good life
Life can be hard, but if you’ve got somebody to love — Yay!

Time & dates
A lover counts time in kisses, not years.
—Terri Guillemets
Winter sparks
snowflakes fall from the sky
in peppermint perfection —
i kiss you with quivering lips
but cold is not the reason —
you set my winter heart on fire
and keep me warm all season
—Terri Guillemets
Love-beats
Hating withers your heart. Hearts that don’t pump love, atrophy.

Love & Be-Loved
You divide my soul into love and

Cozy inner child
Comfort is — buying an XL
flannel jacket for the winter
even though you’re only a medium
because it reminds you of your daddy —
and on that first chilly day
cold seeps in though the gaps
but you don’t care because
in your mind he’s keeping you
all safe and snuggly warm.

Brotherlove
There’s no other love like the love for a brother. There’s no other love like the love from a brother.
—Terri Guillemets
Immeasurable
Even hundredfold grief is divisible by love.

The chaos-harmony of life
I swing like a kid
and fall like an adult;
cry tears of gratitude
and pray in smiles;
hug and love, and later
hide under the covers—
wildly and humbly living
from dawn to the stars,
and ever back again
—Terri Guillemets
Grow love
Plant love everywhere, so that it grows through the cracks in hatred.

Stories of love
In a new love, it’s easy to live for the moment because there is no past. The more past you accumulate, the harder it is not to live there — and that’s true whether it’s good or bad.

Myelin
I love you with all my bones — the heart is too ephemeral.
—Terri Guillemets
Shaken, stirred
Our passion and kisses were stumbling — but stumbling in sync.
—Terri Guillemets
Everyone, everywhere
Hate less, live longer.
—Terri Guillemets
Dissecting hearts
If falling in love feels this good, being in love must be intolerable.
