| When I Am With You When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for these two insomnias! And the difference between them. The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along. We are the mirror as well as the face in it. We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so we can cry out with loving. You would rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror, and here are the stones. by Rumi |
| The Privileged Lovers The moon has become a dancer at this festival of love. This dance of light, This sacred blessing, This divine love, beckons us to a world beyond only lovers can see with their eyes of fiery passion. They are the chosen ones who have surrendered. Once they were particles of light now they are the radiant sun. They have left behind the world of deceitful games. They are the privileged lovers who create a new world with their eyes of fiery passion. by Rumi |
| A White Rose The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove. But I send you a cream-white rosebud With a flush on its petal tips; For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desire on the lips by John Boyle O’Reilly |
| I Carry Your Heart i carry your heart with me (i carry it inmy heart) i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) by E. E. Cummings |
| Dream Love I DID not deem it half so sweet To feel thy gentle hand, As in a dream thy soul to greet Across wide leagues of land. Untouched more near to draw to you Where, amid radiant skies, Glimmered thy plumes of iris hue, My Bird of Paradise. Let me dream only with my heart, Love first, and after see: Know thy diviner counterpart Before I kneel to thee. So in thy motions all expressed Thy angel I may view: I shall not on thy beauty rest, But beauty's self in you. by George William Russell |
| They Flee From Me They flee from me that sometime did me seek With naked foot, stalking in my chamber. I have seen them gentle, tame, and meek, That now are wild and do not remember That sometime they put themself in danger To take bread at my hand; and now they range, Busily seeking with a continual change. Thanked be fortune it hath been otherwise Twenty times better; but once in special, In thin array after a pleasant guise, When her loose gown from her shoulders did fall, And she me caught in her arms long and small; Therewithall sweetly did me kiss And softly said, "Dear heart, how like you this?" It was no dream: I lay broad waking. But all is turned thorough my gentleness Into a strange fashion of forsaking; And I have leave to go of her goodness, And she also, to use newfangleness. But since that I so kindly am served I would fain know what she hath deserved. by Sir Thomas Wyatt |

| Everlasting Love What is it about you? That makes my stomach turn My heart beat fast My mouth curl Is it your beautiful smile? Your sexy lips The sweetness of your voice Or just what whisper me The many things we had and shared The sunsets The candlelight dinners Our passion and love The ways we talked and laughed Were only dreams before we met Now turned into reality How I wish this will last for eternity by Gary R. Hess |
| You're Beauty Your short blonde hair The way it floats in the air Your smile And the way it makes me feel agile Your luscious lips And I can't forget those wonderful hips Your eyes are so cute I don't think anyone would dispute Your cheerful cheeks Make me where I can't even speak Your beauty Is truly like no other That's why I want you And no other by Gary R. Hess |
| Why I Love You I've never seen you Or touched your skin I've never felt your lips Or held you tight But I know I love you Not because of the way you look Or because of that sexy voice Not because of the things you say But because of whom you are When we meet I will kiss you And hold you all night I love everything about you Because it's you by Gary R. Hess |
| You're The One Is it possible That someone like you Could complete me? You're the only one I want The only one I think about The only one I truly love You've treated me wrong sometimes As I've done the same But everyone makes mistakes And your not one of mine Be with me for the rest of time I'll give you my heart And you give me your mind by Gary R. Hess |
| Serenade Three paces down the shore, low sounds the lute, The better that my longing you may know; I’m not asking you to come, But—can’t you go? Three words, “I love you,” and the whole is said— The greatness of it throbs from sun to sun; I’m not asking you to walk, But—can’t you run? Three paces in the moonlight’s glow I stand, And here within the twilight beats my heart. I’m not asking you to finish, But—to start. by Djuna Barnes |
| Sonnet 40: Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all: What hast thou then more than thou hadst before? No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call— All mine was thine before thou hadst this more. Then if for my love thou my love receivest, I cannot blame thee for my love thou usest; But yet be blamed if thou this self deceivest By wilful taste of what thyself refusest. I do forgive thy robb’ry, gentle thief, Although thou steal thee all my poverty; And yet love knows it is a greater grief To bear love’s wrong than hate’s known injury. Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows, Kill me with spites, yet we must not be foes. by William Shakespeare |
| Song: to Celia [“Drink to me only with thine eyes”] Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup, And I’ll not look for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee As giving it a hope, that there It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent’st it back to me; Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself, but thee. by Ben Jonson |
| You are my queen You are my queen, And I’ll serve you with all of my heart, I’ll worship you forever, We shall never be apart. My heart’s fondest desires, you so perfectly fulfill, I love you with every cell in my body, and I always will. You are my world, my center, my life, And if you will have me, I hope you’ll be my wife! I fell in love with you yesterday, And I love you so much more today, I can only imagine, How much more I will love you tomorrow. So long did I dream of the perfect girl, And now I realize it’s you, But you’re so much more than I imagined, Thanks for making my dreams come true! I was once asked what my dreams were to be, And now I have an answer: to have you here beside me! The best decision I ever made, Was to let my soul discover you. For always knew I was made for someone, And now I know who! by unknown |
| A Cup Of Tears A cup of tears, a pool of smiles, Our love is an adventure, such a crazy ride. Each day not quite the same, always something new, I never knew love, until I found you. So many emotions, all mixed into one, It’s quite the journey, but oh so fun. We’re a little bit playful, a small bit of sad, Sometimes we’re naughty, but mostly we’re glad. It’s all so strange, everything is surreal, The experiences are amazing, there’s so much to feel. Fear grips my heart when I think about losing you, Yet I still give in to my heart, there’s nothing else I can do. This must be what love is, so strange and so new, But I wouldn’t trade it for anything, I want nothing but you. by unknown |
| Short Love Poem You came to my life and the sun began to shine, I was so giddy and happy to know that you’re mine. I still can’t believe that you choose to be here, I still have goosebumps every time you draw near. You tickle my soul and make my heart race, Forever and always I will picture your face. This message I’m sending is only for you, And now I hope you know my love is so true. by unknown |

| Meet Me Darling Meet me darling, soon shall the stars set in Take my hand in dance, let's make the world spin Beneath the branches, can we find our favorite spot Beside the stream, will a kiss stolen Whisper a deeper love thought Pleading for secret moments like this Do you know your smile creates this state of Bliss Praying for countless nights like these Always shall we meet amongst the cypress trees Just a few minutes longer I say Tonight is the hour for lovers to play by David Norman |
| Candle Sticks A few candle sticks, a couple roses in my hand The rest of this glorious night, follow the tender sentiment my heart has planned Some sounds of the true trumpet master From the artistry of Chris botti shall This love night begin much faster Some soft kisses I desire from you Also this night, let's embrace the ocean view Before the clock closes in on eleven Taste the Cabernet bouquet of this bottle of three thirty seven Before the clock strikes it's midnight Declaration Let's complete this morning's moment of flirtation by David Norman |
| Coastal Kiss The misty salt air passes through This open patio door, reminds me what is true This is your great desire, Coastal breezes ,crashing waves The day's worries sure to expire The candle, it's flickering teases the darkness The winds of California, let them be your soul witness Coolness of the night sets passion ablaze Tasting and touching you, this is my favorite maze We are one once again Your sexiness mesmerizes, gently Shall I soothe your lovely skin by David Norman |
| In My Dreams I see you in my dreams, but when I wake up, I am faced with reality. For life isn’t really what it seems. You’re a long way away from home And I can only hope that soon you’re return back to me. My love is what you truly own. When I wake up from my dreams, How real it seems You aren’t available to comfort me, But soon I hope that you will be. No one can ever understand Just how tight you hold my heart in your hands. Not being here with me right now is truly your only crime Others in your life are going to come and go, But the love I have for you is true and I’m sure you already know. I may not be rich or the handsomest one, But I love you so much, you are my golden sun. Every time you call, you light up my life. Yet, every time you leave, I’m stabbed with a knife. You are my moon, you are my starts. Being with you will come soon. So when you sleep, remember this, No one will ever keep our hearts apart. |
| Give Me A Moment Give me a moment or better give me a kiss, Give me something that will cause me to reminisce. On every moment that we get to spend with each other, With you I can’t picture myself with another. Give me a moment or better give me your heart, And I’ll give you a love that will never depart. No matter what happens I will always be there, With the type of love that shows you I care. I know that you’ve been hurt many times before, But give me a moment and walk back through loves door. There was always something about you that I could never resist, It might be your touch, your eyes or maybe your kiss. All I know is that with you I’m caught up in perpetual bliss, Who would have ever thought that our love would grow like this. Be the one for me and I will always be the one for you, Your heart’s been broken in pieces but I’ve got the glue. Never will you have to worry about being hurt again, I’m the time that your heart needs to mend. Your love penetrates my existence to the depths of my soul, I’ve argued with time to give us the opportunity to grow old. Give me a moment to show you that this love will be worth it, I will do my best to be the type of lover you consider perfect. Give me a moment and I promise to make it better, Just give me a moment and I’ll make it last forever. by unknown author |
| Love is All when you hold me like this so many memories fill my eyes the first time we kissed the times we nearly said good-bye but still here we are tested and tried and still true and stronger than we ever knew. by Marck Anthony |
| A Gift Of Love My gift to you is my love Given from deep within my heart It is the best I have to offer And its yours until this earth we depart You have captured a part of me A part so very fragile that I am in fear For it is my heart I have lost To you my love, the one I hold most dear I chose to love you now With all that I have and all that I am And I pray that God follows us To guide our steps as we cross this land For it is with His blessings We will live most at peace with each other For He is the reason after all We found one another ........ I Love You! by Derek Marquardt |
| A Kiss To Build A Dream On Give me a kiss to build a dream on, And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss. Sweetheart, I ask no more than this: A kiss to build a dream on. Give me a kiss before you leave me, And my imagination will feed my hungry heart. Leave me one thing before we part, A kiss to build a dream on. When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you, Weaving romances, making believe they're true. Give me your lips for just a moment, And my imagination will make that moment live. Give me what you alone can give, A kiss to build a dream on. by Louis Armstrong |
| My Angel Of that story old, so often told of the girl so fair and sweet Her beauty is a rarity to behold and you have made my life complete Your kisses are soft like the morning dew Like the black gold hair does shine Twenty-seven years ago, on that moonlit night you became that angel of mine by Ronald D. Edwards |
| Before I Dream... Sleep is never easy to come by When there's so much in my head. I think about you all night long, Or whenever I'm in bed. I think about you when I'm stressed out. I think about you when I'm in doubt. These thoughts all seem to end the pout; They turn my declining mood about. The thoughts of you relax my brain. They help to cure, to smother pain. They help to dry my eyes that rain. They help to keep me a little sane. I love these thoughts that dance around. They're like music, what a beautiful sound. They keep my nights from being gray; They make me anticipate the end of the day. And now that I've thought of you all night, It's time to sleep, to turn off the light. I no longer lay in a lonely bed, Because I've got you now: in my head. by Noah Kadera |
| Our Paradise The tropic sun just keeps on shining The oceans rush to kiss the shore Like the sun and tide, I want you by my side Because I will love you evermore Birds of paradise are winging In the peaceful skies of blue above You're the reason why they keep on singing They know that you're the one I love Every morning when I awaken on the isle I wonder what you'll say to make me smile Just the sight of you, delight of you Makes this a paradise for two My heart for you will beat forever Aloha will always mean hello, goodbye never Our love will be as bright as the skies Here on our isle of love, our paradise My heart for you will beat forever Aloha will always mean hello, goodbye never Our love will be as bright as the skies Here on our isle of love, our paradise by Larry W. Jones kingwoodkowboy.com |
| Sonnet 31: Thy bosom is endeared with all hearts… Thy bosom is endeared with all hearts, Which I by lacking have supposed dead, And there reigns love and all love's loving parts, And all those friends which I thought buried. How many a holy and obsequious tear Hath dear religious love stol'n from mine eye, As interest of the dead, which now appear, But things removed that hidden in thee lie. Thou art the grave where buried love doth live, Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone, Who all their parts of me to thee did give, That due of many, now is thine alone. Their images I loved, I view in thee, And thou (all they) hast all the all of me. by William Shakespeare |
| Sonnet 102: My love is strengthened, though more weak in seeming;... My love is strengthened, though more weak in seeming; I love not less, though less the show appear; That love is merchandized, whose rich esteeming, The owner's tongue doth publish every where. Our love was new, and then but in the spring, When I was wont to greet it with my lays; As Philomel in summer's front doth sing, And stops his pipe in growth of riper days: Not that the summer is less pleasant now Than when her mournful hymns did hush the night, But that wild music burthens every bough, And sweets grown common lose their dear delight. Therefore like her, I sometime hold my tongue: Because I would not dull you with my song. by William Shakespeare |
| Sonnet XXVII: Naked You Are As Simple as one of your Hands Naked, you are simple as one of your hands, Smooth, earthy, small, transparent, round: You have moonlines, applepathways: Naked, you are slender as a naked grain of wheat. Naked, you are blue as the night in Cuba; You have vines and stars in your hair; Naked, you are spacious and yellow As summer in a golden church. Naked, you are tiny as one of your nails, Curved, subtle, rosy, till the day is born And you withdraw to the underground world, as if down a long tunnel of clothing and of chores: Your clear light dims, gets dressed, drops its leaves, And becomes a naked hand again. by Pablo Neruda |
| Love, We're Going Home Now Love, we're going home now, Where the vines clamber over the trellis: Even before you, the summer will arrive, On its honeysuckle feet, in your bedroom. Our nomadic kisses wandered over all the world: Armenia, dollop of disinterred honey: Ceylon, green dove: and the YangTse with its old Old patience, dividing the day from the night. And now, dearest, we return, across the crackling sea Like two blind birds to their wall, To their nest in a distant spring: Because love cannot always fly without resting, Our lives return to the wall, to the rocks of the sea: Our kisses head back home where they belong by Pablo Neruda |
| Sonnet XLII: I Hunt For A Sign Of You I hunt for a sign of you in all the others, In the rapid undulant river of women, Braids, shyly sinking eyes, Light step that slices, sailing through the foam. Suddenly I think I can make out your nails, Oblong, quick, nieces of a cherry: Then it's your hair that passes by, and I think I see your image, a bonfire, burning in the water. I searched, but no one else had your rhythms, Your light, the shady day you brought from the forest; Nobody had your tiny ears. You are whole, exact, and everything you are is one, And so I go along, with you I float along, loving A wide Mississippi toward a feminine sea. by Pablo Neruda |
| Love Because of you, in gardens of blossoming Flowers I ache from the perfumes of spring. I have forgotten your face, I no longer Remember your hands; how did your lips Feel on mine? Because of you, I love the white statues Drowsing in the parks, the white statues that Have neither voice nor sight. I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice; I have forgotten your eyes. Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to My vague memory of you. I live with pain That is like a wound; if you touch me, you will Make to me an irreperable harm. Your caresses enfold me, like climbing Vines on melancholy walls. I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to Glimpse you in every window. Because of you, the heady perfumes of Summer pain me; because of you, I again Seek out the signs that precipitate desires: Shooting stars, falling objects. by Pablo Neruda |
| Lovely One Lovely one, Just as on the cool stone Of the spring, the water Opens a wide flash of foam, So is the smile of your face, Lovely one. Lovely one, With delicate hands and slender feet Like a silver pony, Walking, flower of the world, Thus I see you, Lovely one. Lovely one, With a nest of copper entangled On your head, a nest The coloUr of dark honey Where my heart burns and rests, Lovely one. Lovely one, Your eyes are too big for your face, Your eyes are too big for the earth. There are countries, there are rivers, In your eyes, My country is your eyes, I walk through them, They light the world Through which I walk, Lovely one. Lovely one, Your breasts are like two loaves made Of grainy earth and golden moon, Lovely one. Lovely one, Your waist, My arm shaped it like a river when It flowed a thousand years through your sweet body, Lovely one. Lovely one, There is nothing like your hips, Perhaps earth has In some hidden place The curve and the fragrance of your body, Perhaps in some place, Lovely one. Lovely one, my lovely one, Your voice, your skin, your nails, Lovely one, my lovely one, Your being, your light, your shadow, Lovely one, All that is mine, lovely one, All that is mine, my dear, When you walk or rest, When you sing or sleep, When you suffer or dream, Always, When you are near or far, Always, You are mine, my lovely one, Always. by Pablo Neruda |
| Here I Love You Here I love you. In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself. The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters. Days, all one kind, go chasing each other. The snow unfurls in dancing figures. A silver gull slips down from the west. Sometimes a sail. High, high stars. Oh the black cross of a ship. Alone. Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet. Far away the sea sounds and resounds. This is a port. Here I love you. Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain. I love you still among these cold things. Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels that cross the sea towards no arrival. I see myself forgotten like those old anchors. The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there. My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose. I love what I do not have. You are so far. My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights. But night comes and starts to sing to me. The moon turns its clockwork dream. The biggest stars look at me with your eyes. And as I love you, the pines in the wind want to sing your name with their leaves of wire. by Pablo Neruda |
| So That You Will Hear Me So that you will hear me my words sometimes grow thin as the tracks of the gulls on the beaches. Necklace, drunken bell for your hands smooth as grapes. And I watch my words from a long way off. They are more yours than mine. They climb on my old suffering like ivy. It climbs the same way on damp walls. You are to blame for this cruel sport. They are fleeing from my dark lair. You fill everything, you fill everything. Before you they peopled the solitude that you occupy, and they are more used to my sadness than you are. Now I want them to say what I want to say to you to make you hear as I want you to hear me. The wind of anguish still hauls on them as usual. Sometimes hurricanes of dreams still knock them over. You listen to other voices in my painful voice. Lament of old mouths, blood of old supplications. Love me, companion. Don't forsake me. Follow me. Follow me, companion, on this wave of anguish. But my words become stained with your love. You occupy everything, you occupy everything. I am making them into an endless necklace for your white hands, smooth as grapes. by Pablo Neruda |
| I Remember You As You Were I remember you as you were in the last autumn. You were the grey beret and the still heart. In your eyes the flames of the twilight fought on. And the leaves fell in the water of your soul. Clasping my arms like a climbing plant the leaves garnered your voice, that was slow and at peace. Bonfire of awe in which my thirst was burning. Sweet blue hyacinth twisted over my soul. I feel your eyes traveling, and the autumn is far off: Grey beret, voice of a bird, heart like a house Towards which my deep longings migrated And my kisses fell, happy as embers. Sky from a ship. Field from the hills: Your memory is made of light, of smoke, of a still pond! Beyond your eyes, farther on, the evenings were blazing. Dry autumn leaves revolved in your soul. by Pablo Neruda |
| It’s good to feel you are close to me It’s good to feel you are close to me in the night, love, invisible in your sleep, intently nocturnal, while I untangle my worries as if they were twisted nets. Withdrawn, your heart sails through dream, but your body, relinquished so, breathes seeking me without seeing me perfecting my dream like a plant that seeds itself in the dark. Rising, you will be that other, alive in the dawn, but from the frontiers lost in the night, from the presence and the absence where we meet ourselves, something remains, drawing us into the light of life as if the sign of the shadows had sealed its secret creatures with flame. by Pablo Neruda |
| The Tone Of Love Anticipating the sound of your text tone My heart warms, each moment your thoughts pass through this clutched IPhone Something about that jingle massages my ear Your digital presence is emotionally transforming, thus ypur is always near heart Distance apart, this is no romantic love hindrance Because I know a sweet tone precedes every love crafted sentence Soon these travels will circle back around Soon your lovely face will replace My favorite sound by David Norman |
| Beauty's Halo Thy beauty hangs around thee like Splendour around the moon-- Thy voice, as silver bells that strike Upon... by Percy Bysshe Shelley |
| Sonnet. To A Lady Seen For A Few Moments At Vauxhall Time's sea hath been five years at its slow ebb, Long hours have to and fro let creep the sand, Since I was tangled in thy beauty's web, And snared by the ungloving of thine hand. And yet I never look on midnight sky, But I behold thine eyes' well memory'd light; I cannot look upon the rose's dye, But to thy cheek my soul doth take its flight. I cannot look on any budding flower, But my fond ear, in fancy at thy lips And hearkening for a love-sound, doth devour Its sweets in the wrong sense: -- Thou dost eclipse Every delight with sweet remembering, And grief unto my darling joys dost bring. by John Keats |
| This Heart Of Mine This heart of mine will never mend Until I find true love, and then It will take some time, I know that it's true For this heart of mine to get over you Our love was a song that I thought would never end But something went wrong that I can't comprehend I gave you my heart and my everything You tore it apart and broke every string This heart of mine will never mend Until I find true love, and then It will take some time, I know that it's true For this heart of mine to get over you I sit here alone with my memories Thinking of you as free as the breeze This heart of mine cries but nobody hears And here in my eyes are nothing but tears This heart of mine will never mend Until I find true love, and then It will take some time, I know that it's true For this heart of mine to get over you by Larry W.

| Cowgirl In Blue I went to the barn dance one night To hear the fiddles and guitars play And what I saw was quite a sight Barn dances seem to be that way There I met a cowgirl in blue Waltzing with her was such a delight And before I knew it, I knew She stole my heart away that night I still dream of that night when I met her A sweet cowgirl in blue that I met That night at the barn dance was a blur That cowgirl in blue I'll never forget Dark blue were the skies, light blue her eyes Like the blue western skirt that she wore Oh, cowgirl in blue, say you love me too So I won't be blue anymore There I met a cowgirl in blue Waltzing with her was such a delight And before I knew it, I knew She stole my heart away that night Dark blue were the skies, light blue her eyes Like the blue western skirt that she wore Oh, cowgirl in blue, say you love me too So I won't be blue anymore by Larry W.

| Scarlet Rose As I lie beside the trail so weary The only reason I have to grieve I'm thinkin' of my darlin' cheery Knowin' that forever her I'll leave This scarlet rose she gave me I've kept it like a treasured friend Now this scarlet rose is only Love's token as I go to meet my end This scarlet rose I took from her hand As I saddled up for this long trail ride Now I only hope that she'll understand Why I won't be returnin' to wed my bride The trail boss said he'd tell my story And he'd give to her my cowboy's pay Just ask her to plant a morning glory To remember me when I'm gone away Soon the western sky will be dawning I'll be as cold as the sand, I suppose But here in my hand come the morning They'll find a band and a scarlet rose by Larry W.

| Our Love Our love is something we have built From passions, hopes and dreams. It's safe from any passing moods, Secure from all extremes. It's something real and special, Something solid, something pure. It's something we can always count on, ringing sound and sure. It's something grounded in the heart, Emitting confidence. It lives in our emotions; It is something we can sense. Our love remains a binding force, Resistant to all strife. Amidst the outer pressures, it's our anchor throughout life. by Bruce B. Wilmer |
| She's My Treasure She's my treasure, with whom I can share, all the thoughts and feelings, I wouldn't be able to bear. My hope and my joy, for going through this life. Past every single problem, and every single strife. I love her most dear, with all of my heart. I will always remember, we shall never be apart. I'll remember her words, those wise words she spoke. I will always remember, her every single joke. Her courage and strength, when the going got rough. We stuck through it together, nothing could ever be too tough. Fear was destroyed, by our will to achieve. We will conquer our faults, we will always believe. We both believe in each other, we will both stand together. This is how it will be, forever and ever! by Anonymous |

| Speak To Me As words fall softly from your lips and land upon my ear; My mind and body are caressed, by every word I hear When I hear your sweet voice, my head begins to numb For this is what you do to me, and I like what I've become.

| The Beauty I See When ever I write my poetry Yours is the smile that I always see Yours is the touch that I miss Yours are the lips I long to kiss Yours is the laughter that I hear For yours was the spirit that stilled my tears You helped me heal in many ways That means more to me than I can say So please no matter what we do Don't ever think I don't love you You are a blessing and will always be That which gives beauty to all that I see by Anonymous |
| The Love of My Life I found the love of my life Forthright, honest and kind With a warm personality And her brilliant, incisive mind With her optimistic manner She swept me off my feet No one else could be So genuine, so sweet The center of my universe There in times of need Encouraging, resilient Her strength a comfort to me I treasure our moments together And reflect on our blessed life My precious devoted soul mate My loving caring wife by Vernon Waring |
| A SONG OF LOVE Hey, rose, just born Twin to a thorn; Was’t so with you, O Love and Scorn? Sweet eyes that smiled, Now wet and wild: O Eye and Tear- mother and child. Well: Love and Pain Be kinfolks twain; Yet would, Oh would I could Love again by Sidney Lanier |
| BECAUSE SHE WOULD ASK ME WHY I LOVED HER If questioning would make us wise No eyes would ever gaze in eyes; If all our tale were told in speech No mouths would wander each to each. Were spirits free from mortal mesh And love not bound in hearts of flesh No aching breasts would yearn to meet And find their ecstasy complete. For who is there that lives and knows The secret powers by which he grows? Were knowledge all, what were our need To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed? Then seek not, sweet, the “If” and “Why” I love you now until I die. For I must love because I live And life in me is what you give. by Christopher Brennan |
| MY SUBURBAN GIRL I know a sweet suburban girl, She’s witty, bright and brief; With dimples in her cheeks; and pearl In rubies set, for teeth. Beneath her glossy raven hair There beams the hazel eye, Bright as the star of evening there Where the yellow sunbeams die. Her breath is like a flower blown, In fragrance and perfume; Her voice seems from the blissful throne Where their harps the angels tune. Her waist is just a trifle more Than a cubit in its girth; But when there my arms I throw, I’ve all there is of earth. And when she turns her dimpled cheek Toward me for a kiss, I lose expression—cannot speak— And take all there is of bliss. by Samuel Alfred Beadle |
| TO A YOUNG LADY Sweet stream that winds through yonder glade, Apt emblem of a virtuous maid Silent and chaste she steals along, Far from the world’s gay busy throng: With gentle yet prevailing force, Intent upon her destined course; Graceful and useful all she does, Blessing and blest where’er she goes; Pure-bosom’d as that watery glass, And Heaven reflected in her face. by William Cowper |
| UNDER THE HARVEST MOON Under the harvest moon, When the soft silver Drips shimmering Over garden nights, Death, the gray mocker, Comes and whispers to you As a beautiful friend Who remembers. Under the summer roses When the flagrant crimson Lurks in the dusk Of the wild red leaves, Love, with little hands, Comes and touches you With a thousand memories, And asks you Beautiful, unanswerable questions. by Carl Sandburg |
| MARRIAGE MORNING Share with friends Light, so low upon earth, You send a flash to the sun. Here is the golden close of love, All my wooing is done. Oh, the woods and the meadows, Woods where we hid from the wet, Stiles where we stay’d to be kind, Meadows in which we met! Light, so low in the vale You flash and lighten afar, For this is the golden morning of love, And you are his morning start. Flash, I am coming, I come, By meadow and stile and wood, Oh, lighten into my eyes and heart, Into my heart and my blood! Heart, are you great enough For a love that never tires? O’ heart, are you great enough for love? I have heard of thorns and briers, Over the meadow and stiles, Over the world to the end of it Flash for a million miles. by Alfred Tennyson |
| A VALENTINE TO MY WIFE Accept, dear girl, this little token, And if between the lines you seek, You’ll find the love I’ve often spoken The love my dying lips shall speak. Our little ones are making merry O’er am’rous ditties rhymed in jest, But in these words (though awkward very) The genuine article’s expressed. You are as fair and sweet and tender, Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine, As when, a callow youth and slender, I asked to be your Valentine. What though these years of ours be fleeting? What though the years of youth be flown? I’ll mock old Tempus with repeating, “I love my love and her alone!” And when I fall before his reaping, And when my stuttering speech is dumb, Think not my love is dead or sleeping, But that it waits for you to come. So take, dear love, this little token, And if there speaks in any line The sentiment I’d fain have spoken, Say, will you kiss your Valentine? by Eugene Field |
| Love Like Ours Is Worth Forevermore Dear, it's very clear to me Nary an end do I see Our love is not for just a day Or just a thousand years Hairdos and fashions of fancy clothes Both of us agree May just be fading fancies And in time may disappear However, my darling dear Our true love won't go away Darling, it will stay For at least forever and a day High mountains may crumble For they are only made of earth Yes darling, they are only made of earth But love like ours is worth forevermore Hairdos and fashions of fancy clothes Both of us agree May just be fading fancies And in time may disappear High mountains may crumble For they are only made of earth Yes darling, they are only made of earth But love like ours is worth forevermore by Larry W.

| I Miss You I count the hours, I count the days. How much I miss you, I count the ways. I miss your voice, I miss your touch. I miss the face that I love so much.

Until you're home, safe and alive. by Anonymous |
| Listen To Your Heart Oh beautiful woman, give me your hand Feel my heart beating, do you not understand The world keeps on turning but my life stands still To be lost in your memory is such a bitter pill Your beauty abounds both inside and out My chest near exploding, I just want to shout To watch you walk by or hear your sweet voice Transfixed by your presence, for me there's no choice When I play with your hair or kiss your soft cheek My whole body trembles, my knees become weak Just being close to you means so much A wayward glance, a gentle touch Any excuse to fade back in time When life was so wonderful and you were mine God knows my heart to be good and true It's with wisdom and hindsight that I come back to you I know what I was and I know what I am You make me want to be a much better man We belong together, of this I am sure Listen to your heart and fear me no more Your thoughts may be hidden but the truth you can't fight When the love burns again, just do what is right So love me now as you loved me then And I promise to never hurt you again by Denny Lammers |

| The Wait It seemed like years before I picked a bouquet of kisses off her mouth and put them into a dawn-colored vase in my heart. But the wait was worth it. Because I was in love. by Richard Brautigan |
| Sonnet 11: In Truth, Oh Love In truth, oh Love, with what a boyish kind Thou doest proceed in thy most serious ways: That when the heav'n to thee his best displays, Yet of that best thou leav'st the best behind. For like a child that some fair book doth find, With gilded leaves or colored vellum plays, Or at the most on some find picture stays, But never heeds the fruit of writer's mind: So when thou saw'st in Nature's cabinet Stella, thou straight lookst babies in her eyes, In her cheek's pit thou didst thy pitfall set: And in her breast bopeep or couching lies, Playing and shining in each outward part: But, fool, seekst not to get into her heart. by Sir Philip Sidney |
| Sonnet 6: Some Lovers Speak Some lovers speak when they their Muses entertain, Of hopes begot by fear, of wot not what desires: Of force of heav'nly beams, infusing hellish pain: Of living deaths, dear wounds, fair storms, and freezing fires. Some one his song in Jove, and Jove's strange tales attires, Broidered with bulls and swans, powdered with golden rain; Another humbler wit to shepherd's pipe retires, Yet hiding royal blood full oft in rural vein. To some a sweetest plaint a sweetest style affords, While tears pour out his ink, and sighs breathe out his words: His paper pale despair, and pain his pen doth move. I can speak what I feel, and feel as much as they, But think that all the map of my state I display, When trembling voice brings forth that I do Stella love by Sir Philip Sidney |
| An Evening Song Look off, dear Love, across the sallow sands, And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea, How long they kiss in sight of all the lands. Ah! longer, longer, we. Now in the sea's red vintage melts the sun, As Egypt's pearl dissolved in rosy wine, And Cleopatra night drinks all. 'Tis done, Love, lay thine hand in mine. Come forth, sweet stars, and comfort heaven's heart; Glimmer, ye waves, round else unlighted sands. O night! divorce our sun and sky apart Never our lips, our hands. by Sidney Lanier |
| You Are The One For you I would climb The highest mountain peak Swim the deepest ocean Your love I do seek For you I would cross The rivers most wide Walk the hottest desert sand To have you by my side For you are the one Who makes me whole You've captured my heart And touched my soul For you are the one That stepped out of my dreams Gave me new hope Showed me what love means For you alone Are my reason to live For the compassion you show And the care that you give You came into my life And made me complete Each time I see you My heart skips a beat For you define beauty In both body and mind Your soft, gentle face More beauty I'll ne'er find For you are the one God sent from above The angel I needed For whom I do love by Chris Messick |
| Blue Moon Light In the quiet calm of night, we walk hand in hand. Down the path, across the sand. Looking into your eyes, I feel the time is right. Standing together, beneath the blue moon light. The wind starts to blows, trees shake. The ocean waves begin to break. Holding you close, I feel the time is right Holding one another, beneath the blue moon light. The tide rises slowly, our feet in the surf. A star falls from heaven, on its way towards the earth. Making a wish, I feel the time is right. Wishing together, beneath the blue moon light. Our time has come, we must say good-bye. Night has fallen in the November sky. No need to cry, for this time was right. To fall in love, beneath the blue moon light by Jason Louis Gaydos |
