Love Poems

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feelings that once were hidden

Are now expressed to you.

Days that once were stormy

Are now the brightest blue.

Times that once were lonely

Are now filled with pleasure.

All that once was mine alone

Are now things we both treasure.

Nights that once were cold

Are now comforting and warm.

Fears that once were very real

Are now gone with the storm.

A heart that once was broken

Can now finally mend.

A person once alone in life

Can now call you a friend.

Dreams that once were longed for

Are now all coming true.

The love I once thought was gone

I have now and forever in you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love the way you touch me

so soft and sensuously.

It makes me tingle all over.

I love the way you kiss me.

It starts a fire deep down inside of me

and makes me yearn for you even more.

I love the way you look at me.

It makes me feel beautiful and treasured.

Most of all I love the way you love me.

When you walk in my whole day gets better.

And even when you're not with me

you're in my thoughts always.

It doesn't matter what we don't have or what we do have.

The most important thing is we have each other

and no one can take that away.

I am the luckiest woman in the world

and I don't need or want anything

but you beside me loving me to the end of our days.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A thousand fair suitors all stab at your heart

Those poets of movement and jockeys of art

The high-volume vendors who hustle romance

Splashing their canvas with color and dance

The blasters of trumpets, gold banners unfurled

They offer lush gardens in glistening worlds

Yes, bearers of torches and carvers of stone

Who whisper their sonnets and surrender their thrones

And there in your doorway, no shadow is cast

No lingering voices, no ghosts from the past

Just a cluster of walls, and a window of pain

Collecting the heartache like droplets of rain

Still I stand before you, with palms to the sky

No gold in my pocket, no thorn in my side

And all I can offer, where words have no place

Is a body that trembles, and this love that awaits

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your friendship and love,

And all the wonderful things

That they bring into my life,

Are like nothing else

I have ever known.

My heart is complete

With the love we share,

And our love grows more

Beautiful each day.

I love you,

And as long as we are together,

I have everything I need.

You are with me always...

In a smile, a memory, a feeling

Or a moment we share.

You will always be

My Forever Love

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’d give anything to see the sun set on the horizon,

I’d do anything to gaze at a full moon in the night sky;

Even a rainbow would make me smile,

And I’d love to swim in crystal clear waters

Of an untouched sea;

Sometimes I’ll see a shooting star,

And try to gaze from afar,

All the diamonds in the night sky;

The mist on the mountains is breathtaking,

As is walking in rainforest;

To see cascading waterfalls I’d do anything for,

As to stand on the highest peak in the world,

And look at the sights below;

I’d love to soar on wings above the clouds,

Across the bluest skies;

I’d do anything to see

All the beautiful things in the world,

Like a red rose blooming in the Sahara,

Like a river twisting through a dusty land,

All the beautiful things in the world;

But I also know I am looking at

The world’s most beautiful creation,

Every time you smile,

And every time I look into your eyes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You come outside

To view the faint sunset

Light bewildered by trees

Shines through quietly

You glide your soft auburn hair

Perched behind your ear

And in this moment I feel at home

Beneath the interior

You are my humble abode...

Your company is soothing

Calming and reassuring

Inside, the wind chimes ring

You saunter and my hearts sings

Bit by bit I begin to recognize

The enchanting glow in your subtle eyes

Hidden in all abstract paintings

It’s you; what all artists see

You are poetry...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I knew how to write a song

I’d write one everyday

It would say that I’m in love with you

And why I feel this way

It would have to say you’re pretty

And as rare as a desert rose

It would say you’re a looker

From your head down to your toes

You are funny, dainty, fragile

And as feminine as can be

You’re smart charming lovely

And everything to me

You’re my comfort when I’m lonely

You’re my peace when I need rest

Of all the women I’ve known

I must rate you the best.

You’re the orchard in the jungle,

you’re the better half of me

You’re all of this and so much more,

you mean the world to me

Still so much is left unsaid,

It would take me far to long

I know how much I love you,

If only I could write a song.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You walked lightly into my life

Captivating and lovely to my mind,

At first, I never cared who you were

Now I don’t know who I am without you,

You kissed me

I felt my world change,

You held me

I heard my heart awaken,

You loved me

And my soul was born anew

You walked lightly into my life

Now my heart knows who you are

And with every breath

And every step

I take down lonely roads,

Your hand is my staff

Your voice is my guide

Your strength my shelter

You’re passion my awakening.

You walked lightly into my life,

And all my pain

You took as your own,

And all my fears

You cast into the sea,

All my doubt

Lost in your eyes,

You walked lightly into my life

And no matter if you choose to stay or go,

My life is forever changed,

Just because you loved me

For a moment in time.

And because I choose

To love you

For the rest of mine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love you with a permanence

That endures the passing years.

I love you with a joyfulness

That subdues all doubts and fears.

I love you with an honesty

That was born within my heart.

I love you with the calm belief

That we will never part.

I love you with a confidence

No earthly force can sever.

I love you with the certainty

That I’ll cherish you forever.

I love you with the humbleness

Of one who has been blessed.

I love you with the reverence

Of all that word suggests.

I love you with a fervor

That time cannot reverse.

I love you with the truest love

That poets put to verse.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your soul is like the vastest sea

And mine a darting fish:

I lose myself within your love;

I live within your heart.

I breathe your love: it is my air,

My element, my world.

I know no other ambiance;

I have no other dream.

I know there is outside your love

A world of rocks and sand;

And I could live there, too, but oh!

How poor and thin each breath!

How rich my world, how beautiful,

Alive within your love,

Each moment filled with dancing light

Refracted through your eyes!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love you like I love a day

when everything goes right

I love you like I love to lay

and watch the stars at night

I love you like I love the rain

its lustful calm embrace

I love you like I love to laugh

until it hurts my face

I love you like I love to drive

with no real destination

I love you like I love the thrill

of pure infatuation

But most of all I love you like

I love a cherished friend

Who holds me tight, dries my tears

and loves me to the end

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was once lost in darkness,

A wandering nomadic fool,

Teetering on the edge of reason,

About to plunge into the abyss,

Then a light shone down,

Lifted me out of darkness,

Touched my soul with grace,

And beat love into my heart,

That was when I met you,

My loving wife,

For so long now you

Have continued to save me,

Day after day,

You gave me the reason to be,

To live and to feel love,

To go on and find my dreams,

As long as you were there,

I just wanted to let you know,

That I could never fully express

How much I feel for you,

When I love you

Seems so simple,

How can you put into words

The power of desire I have for you,

Pray to God,

Channel the muse,

And let my fingers type the words,

My heart beats because of you,

My soul is bright and alive,

Because of you,

And even when the trails of today

Seem to distract me,

My love is always devoted to you,

It is eternal within my heart,

Like a constant thunder in my soul.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I wake up in the morning

Sunshine's falling on my skin

And I call you up to tell you

What a happy mood I'm in

Feel the rhythm in my body

And sing is all I wanna do

I feel the day will bring me sunshine

for it's another day with you

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there's one face I want to see,

so beautiful, so true,

one smile that makes a difference,

to everything I do.

If there's one touch I long to feel,

one voice I long to hear,

whenever I am happy,

or just needing someone near.

If there's one joy, one love,

from which I never want to part,

it's you, my very special love,

my world, my life, my heart.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just three little words

don't seem like enough

for someone whose smile

still brightens my day,

whose touch can make me forget

the rest of the world.

They don't seem like enough

for someone who's always been there

to celebrate with me

when everything goes my way

and to hold my hand

when my whole world

seems to fall apart.

But even though "I Love You"

can't express the depth

of my feelings for you.

I hope you know what's in my heart.

Because loving you

means more to me

than anything in the world

and it always will.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dance with me in love

Dance with me in life

When did enduring love begin?

The day we became man and wife

There is patience and understanding

We try to be unselfish and kind

Though not a fairy-tale romance

No greater love will we find

Sharing dreams, passions, and desires

Building each other up when we fall

We've learned to say I'm sorry

And I love you through it all

Our two hearts beat as one

Cherishing what we have from above

Dance with me forever

Dance me to the end of love

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day you came into my life will be cherished always.

An angel sent from heaven above for my lonely heart to hold.

My heart is no longer lonely, but instead

filled with the wonder of a love like I’ve never known.

When you first held me, it was magical!

A touch no other but my soulmate could provide.

Truly the passion needed no words.

Your kiss on my lips is something I long for each day.

With a single kiss the intensity of your love so incredibly clear!

Your eyes melt me with emotion so intense it is beyond belief.

A caring and unconditional love that shines from them

that makes me shiver with excitement for our life to come.

Each day your smile fills my heart with a joy like no other.

Oh but to have you in my life is truly a blessing!

On the day we wed...

I promise to you yet again my unconditional love and devotion.

For I will cherish each day that God gives me with you,

our own little piece of heaven on earth.

I will love you always.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regret flows from the depths of my soul

With the strength of a flood

I have held these gates shut for too long

And though tormenting, they should not be stopped.

The thought of your anguish

Even as I write to you now

Stops my heart cold

As well it should

What I see in front of me

Is a painting of our love

Its most thoughtful brushstrokes

Mottled by hurried abstraction and inattention

A person who had not seen this masterpiece created

Might think it to be refuse and pass it by unknowingly

Letting be obscured the deep beauty of its many scenes

By layers of the tarnish of mistreatment

But as the painter

I see beyond the dark smears

To recall the hours that I attended to the details

And wonder how I could let it become so discolored

The painting that took me my life to create

Has lost its divinity in my careless treatment

And even if I were to refine it

I fear you would always see it as it is today

So today I paint a new masterpiece

One inspired by the muse of respect

A work that you can love through our old age

One that you will look to each day for inspiration

This one will take some time

As I want my brushstrokes to be carefully placed

I need to move steadily to ensure that this time,

My art represents my dream

This is my opus

Don't judge me on my past works

As I have never before had so much skill and inspiration

And never before have I wanted to please you as I do today

With you and my children as my muse

I will paint for you a lifetime

A portrait of devotion and friendship

A panorama of passion and admiration

All I ask is that you gaze upon it with an open heart

And you shall unquestionably love me again

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that I might fly away, in my hot air balloon,

And hide from worldly worries on the dark side of the moon;

There’s but one thing I need before I float into the blue:

I need a sky companion and I want it to be you.

We’ll fly beyond the storm clouds and we’ll watch from up above,

I’ll cover you in rainbows as we feel each others’ love;

You’ll shower in the stars at midnight in our special place,

I’ll dry you with a comet’s tail and kiss your beaming face.

Dreamy drifting panorama, changing every day,

Every night your loving smile will be my milky way,

The moon will wane before us, sailing there in heaven’s height,

For nothing else can challenge our love’s everlasting light.

Venus shining on us, glowing soft at our devotion,

Our daily drifting dalliance in love’s celestial ocean,

I’ll write you lovers’ poetry, and you will be my muse,

Orion and Andromeda will oversee our cruise.

We’ll sleep with clouds as pillows, maybe steal an angel’s wings,

Then fly as magic lovebirds, or slide round Saturn’s rings,

And should we tire of drifting and the stars all floating by,

We’ll hook onto a meteor and soar across the sky.

Will you consent to be my mate on our celestial ship?

I’m ready, heart all packed with love, to last us for the trip,

Take my hand and step aboard, we’re heading for the sun,

We’re flying till we find the place where our two souls are one.

A solitary rose grew in the darkest corner of the garden

Surrounded by many others

Yet remained alone

Time passed and trials came and went

One dealt a severe blow

And the rose began to wilt and wither

Forgotten...

Then... as if by a miracle...

There came a soft and gentle breeze

Followed by a ray of light

As all the other roses fell into darkness

The solitary rose began to shine

Shining with a special light...

And watered by a gentle cascade...

A cascade of love

A cascade of selfless affection

"I do... not now but forever..."

Said the rose to the sunlight

And there they remain

A rose in full bloom

With her sunshine smiling down on her...

You are my sunshine, my life, my very soul

And I your rose blooming in the light of your love.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It began as all fires do,

a spark soon ignited into a blaze of warmth and colourful delight.

You held my hand, became my friend,

earned my trust and my future once again looked bright.

Loneliness turned to hope,

emptiness filled up with dreams.

Hunger was satisfied,

and the darkness lit by love's moonbeams.

Tears no longer hit the ground,

they fall on your loving shoulder.

I feel younger,

as our love grows older.

When sorrow leaves me wilted as a sun-parched rose,

your comfort is a river that flows and flows.

The sun's light, the morning dew,

they are all the beauty that is you.

When passion ebbs,

as tides do,

love fills the wake,

and carries us through.

Your strength is as the oak,

but if it is my need you bend like the willow.

My heart is filled,

like a lucky sail with wind to billow.

Harsh cold winters,

wet springs, blissful summer heat, and the fall of time,

They'll weather my spirit,

with grace and peace, your hand in mine.

Our love's sweet creations, joyous children,

blessed am I thanks to God and you.

What greater beauty could shed light,

on the love that came from two.

Love's sweet reflection,

laughing, growing, thriving, learning.

Words cannot express what my heart feels,

how strong my love is burning.

When God took one home,

I felt my heart would never again see the sun.

But you, my love, walked with me, through the sadness,

and together we share the memories that keep our family one.

The lines of age will etch their mark on us

and time will take the strength from our bodies.

But love's brush will paint for us a picture of such beauty,

That a hundred lifetimes could not remove their glory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our love is that of a red rose

Whose splendor rises as the sun shows its face,

Whose petals expand further and richer

Whispering secrets of happiness and affection.

And even though with the fall of dusk

All contentment is swept away,

And the rose's petals unite as one

Reflecting any light that may endeavor to shine through,

The sun will always rise

And the rose's petals will eternally broaden

Until they fully blossom into a stunning creation.

Our love is that of a red rose

Possessing a few imperfections

That may cause evanescent wounds,

But the internal radiance

That will everlastingly bestow healing and comfort.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take my hand this way we'll go,

Said the man above,

I'll take you to a place of joy,

Where you will find true love,

If you let go, go on your own,

But mistakes you will make,

For many other ways there are,

Which you are sure to take,

When you feel that you are lost,

All you have to do is pray,

And I'll be there once again,

To help you on your way,

I did pray and just as said,

He shined his light from above,

That showed me the way down the golden path,

That led me to your love.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How simple my life is now you are here,

How I cherish each breath,

How I crave the light and laughter you have brought me.

I have fallen in love without taking a step,

Fallen into the sweetest of dreams,

How I hope no one wakes me.

The simplest gesture wraps itself around my heart,

Where I will hold it forever.

Each time we say goodbye a part of me weeps,

Though I know it is not forever

To my aching soul it is an eternity.

I see my happiness shine in your eyes,

Every time you hold my hand my heart skips a beat.

How sweet life is to be yours;

How meaningless life is without you.

They know nothing of the loneliness before you

Nothing of the empty tears I cried day after day,

How did you do it, I ask myself,

How did you banish the fear, the darkness?

You have made me see that nothing is that bad,

That I am strong and worthy of happiness,

You have saved me from myself.

Everyday I wake up and smile to myself

Knowing you are waiting for me,

Knowing you can't wait to see me.

How would I go on if you were not there to hold me up,

To bless me with your love and light?

How I am glad you have found me

My life is now complete...

I am home.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every morning starts beautifully

with the sound of your sweet voice from a phone call.

It's second best to actually embracing you in my arms,

under the covers that protect us from the chill that lies outside.

Your melodic wake-up laughter over the phone is second best

to the overwhelming smile I see in the morning,

when I hold you in my arms

after having spent another wonderful night with you.

Your "I Love You"s over the phone

always make me smile and hold the phone tighter,

second best to looking into your eyes with those words,

and being able to deeply kiss you afterwards,

sending a chilling warmth throughout our bodies.

But with you... you are my #1.

The closest person in the world to me.

With you, there is no second best.

There is no one close to even being "second" or "best".

I hold you, alone, in the most intimate place in my heart.

It's a place where I can feel you, still close, when you're far away.

Where I can close my eyes, and hear your voice,

listen to your laugh, and feel your "I Love You"s.

So please, keep calling me in the morning.

Cause second to your kisses,

theres no better alarm clock than your personalized ring.

No better way to begin the day than with you.
