Love is the ultimate high...

Start with all of Shakespear's Sonnets. Add in all the secular poem of John Donne. Toss on a translation of Cassanova's autobiography, and season with Anais Nin. You'll be cooked, with plenty of words.

I'm going to break what you said, because the most words you can use to describe love is one word..... Hate.

You must hate to love something,
You must hate to know how much love you have.
You must hate to know how to love.
You must hate when you loose love.
You must hate to get, some love.

Agape love as in1 Corinthians chapter 13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
