My simple philosophy in life...
The word love is only one letter different from live. Take the 'i' (self) and replace it with an 'o' (the ring a symbol for union / love). The circle, a continuation without end.
A life without love is a life not worth living.
Let LOVE be your walk LOVE before you talk Speak the truth with tact but LOVE before you act First LOVE then choose Do not blow your fuse Let LOVE rule your days Be gentle in all your ways Avoid contempt & scorn forgive wrongs with every morn Be punctual, never late it's rude to make others wait Practice moderation, respect and consideration LOVE is humble, love is kind LOVE sees and acts blind
If you want love to be your crown Make LOVE a verb and not a noun
Yet another jewel in your crown of masterpieces, dear Chanti. Everyone ought to memorize your credo and adopt it as a daily mantra. There's so much more I want to say. Love. Regis

Chanti,
The last two lines are a treasure. This is outstanding. I'll carry this one with me.

P.S. I have some thoughts on love in my poem "Love Is Not" you might want to ponder sometime.
"Make love a verb and not noun".... Your last line is a final stroke to complete this paiting of love. i think it is very creative and unique... Masood
LOVE should bind us together and guide us thru life
May LOVE find us together and hide us from strife
Chanti, thank you for your loving words. They inspire all of us!

You always have a lovely philosophy for life and love both.
This is a beautiful example of it.
Add those eye-catching graphics, and your poems are words to remember
and to live by.
Kudos!!!
Chanti, wonderful sentiments and insight here. Love is a very confusing emotion. It's nice when someone can help clear up its meaning as you have so beautifully. ~ Sara
Very good advice here Chanti! We often say things that hurt, because we do not think first.
An awesome tribute to Love, one I think I may remember for some time to come.

I have written a chapter called I Am That, I Am in this inspirational compilation book by best-selling authors and wonderful people from all walks of life xox :-D (Its sister book is called Adventures In Manifesting - Success and Spirituality)
I am in your verse, but, I am not your verse, and it saddens me I cannot Be This.
