Divine Love, the heart
of hearts, abounds in
every grain of being,
from atom's gleam
to starry sky, from darkest
pain to brightest joy,
unceasing love kindles life -
a royal promise sealed
with the kiss of peace.
~ Hildegard of Bingham
Dedicated to sharing expressions of conscious or higher love, through sacred poetry and inner reflections. In honoring and serving Love, we are serving Divinity and entering the realms of Eternal Truth. The Temple of Love is a place of serving Love through writings from the soul.

The night is black and the forest has no end;
a million people thread it in a million ways.
We have trysts to keep in the darkness, but where
or with whom- of that we are unaware.
But we have this faith- that a lifetime's bliss
will appear any minute, with a smile upon its lips.
Scents, touches, sounds, snatches of songs
brush us, pass us, give us delightful shocks.
Then peradventure there's a flash of lightning:
whomever I see that instant I fall in love with.
I call that person and cry: `This life is blest!
For your sake such miles have I traversed!'
All those others who come close and moved off
in the darkness- I dont know if they exist or not.
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
