Love Poems

WHAT LOVE IS TO ME....
It grows from day to day from having contact with that other person who understands your needs, and you understand theirs. It starts with flattering flutter that touches your heart and makes you vulnerable to everything beautiful. You find beauty in that person, where before you saw nothing. You feel glowing inside, so happy without knowing why. You appreciate what before you had ignored. Your eyest meet with the eyes of that person, and you see reflected in them your feelings, your hopes, and you are happy just to be around that person. Even if you don't touch, you still feel the warmth of being with that person who fills all your thoughts. Then one day you do touch, by hand, and it gives you a sense of protection and worth, that you are truly loved. An excitement begins to grow, so you want to be with that person, just to be with them and grow toward eachother. You share your life and problems in words. And that is true love to me.

SONNET 70

Have no comets streaked across your sky?

Has no lightening bolt of brilliant blue
Made ordinary things look strange and new?
Have you not, day-dreaming, heaved a sigh
Or stopped your ears against the voice that mocks
Your snug harbour? It sings a siren song
That says all safety's cowardly and wrong
And life is meant for wrecking on the rocks
Haven't you ever allowed yourself to follow
Will-o-wisp or glint of holy grail
Into the wilderness, beyond the trail?
If you held back, did not your heart feel hollow?
Have you never known these things? Oh stars above!
Here's a fool who never fell inlove
*****Edith Spears

THAT'S THE WAY IT WILL ALWAYS BE

Time will come, Time will go

But through it all, I'll always know
That you're the only one for me
And that's the way it will always be

I dont' see how you can love me through and through

after all I've done and said to you
but you always do still love me
And I hope that's the way it will always be

When you "talk" to me, I always want more

My wants and standards always end up having a war
I want you to do so many things to me
And that's the way it will always be

I think of you every day, all day long

Now, truthfully, is that so wrong?
In my mind you'll stay with me
And that's the way it will always be

We'll spend eternity and a day together

And be happy....Forever
Cause in my heart you'll stay with me
And that's the way it will always be

I'm never ever going to let you go

Because the truth of the matter is (I hope you know)
That I'm in love with you Mikey
And that's the way it will always be
*****Lindzey Rae

THE LOVE

I do not know what I should do

With this love I have for you
Your eyes, the shade of sunlit sky
If I cannot have you, I know I'll die

The beauty you hold is matched by none

Like the golden rays of the morning sun
I like the desirable way you walk
I love the beautiful way you talk

The sexy way you sway your hips

And the ruby red color of your lips
If you were to be with only me
I'd be in utter ectasy

I know my feelings are starting to show

But I can tell that you already know
I just dont' know what I should do
About this love I have for you
*****Tom Sanford

THE CHAINS THAT BIND

Cast away the chains that bind

Free the essence of your mind
Find the strength within your heart
To hold the love while we're apart
Ask not why it must be so
There's so much time, so much to know
Believe with your heart and not your mind
There's some much out there you will find
Trust the thoughts you don't believe
The truth that's there will not deceive
Things aren't what you thought they'd be
We're out of place, but wait and see
The time is soon to dream again
And reminisce about what's been
For in your mind you'll find a land
Where we're together, hand in hand

TIME

Time can stop. I have no doubt of that, my dear-

Your consent is all that it would take
Come to me without regret or fear
Of him or her, or them, and we can make
The world a shining place. It is because
If we can breath as one, then around the Earth
A billion seeds of faith will wake. Just pause
To think: the wordl could have a timeless birth

Consider all the lives that need not die

Consider all the pain that none will feel
Oh you, you whom I love, cannot deny
Of all there is, it's only love that's real
I swear by all that's holy, it is true-
Time stops, when you love me as I love you
*****Edith Spears

YOU

My whole life I've always walked hand-in-hand

Never thinking I'd have to let go
Because of all love's demands
The love ended
As soon as it started
There was nothing left, nothing there to defend
We all need someone
Someone to love us
But for the first time in my life
I had no one
It was odd and scary
Being alone like that
Not having him by my side
To love and confide
I looked everywhere
Anywhere he might be
But he had already gone, without a care
He had already forgotten about me
And moved onto somebody new
They were innocent, just like I used to be
He taught me a lesson
A bad one
Never let someone make that big of an impression
Not in your heart
Never fall in love again
It just makes it that much harder to part
But I couldn't obey my own rule
I couldn't control it
I fell in love again, just like a fool
I fell in love with you
I actually realized what true love was
Because you loved me through and through

*****Lindzey Rae

THIS NIGHT

Like any other night

Yet not like one I know
A laugh, a dance, a smile
Riding an emotional flow
The warmth behind your smile
The twinkle of happiness in your eye
Exhilarate me to no extent
When I'm with you, I can fly
To cities all over the world
To those moonlit nights of romance
I'd face any dangers life puts in front of me
For you I'd take that chance
The chance to live a thousand lives,
To kiss an endless kiss,
To smile a million smiles
I'd do much more for this
I'd give you my heart, my all
Anything that is worth giving
Because you, my love, deserve this and more,
Because you make my life worth living

LOVE IS.....

They say that love's a rainbow

With colors soft and bright
Enough to fill a lifetime
Or to make it though a night
It can color all your visions
And brighten all your days
True love, can make you stronger
In a million subtle ways
It restores your faith in others
And changes all your dreams
In Love, you find a purpose
It's more than what it seems....
Like that baby in the cradle
And the trust within it's eyes
As it reaches towards it's mother
Each time the baby cries
Or that couple in the chapel
With eternity in view
How it all becomes so perfect
In two little words: "I Do"
Or that couple in their eighties
On the porch swing over there
Who still see love and beauty
Despite the graying hair
It's magic sent from heaven
A sweetest gift from up above
The miracle of miracles....
The priceless treasure that is Love

....AND THEN YOU CAME

I sit looking out the window

With not a hope in sight
Then you walked into my life
Like an angel in disguise

You made me feel good

Like my soul was smiling
You gave me someone to love
You gave me a reason to live

All the pain I forgot

Of being left alone
You made me focus on the present
And to let all those horrible memories die

You made me feel happy

A feeling I haven't felt for a while
I could feel your love
Like you were standing right beside me
But when I opened my eyes
You were so far away
And I was forced back into reality again
*****Lindzey Rae

*REMEMBER*

Your presence is a present to the world

You're unique and one of a kind
Your life can be what you want it to be
Take the days just one at a time

Count your blessings, not your troubles

You'll make it through whatever comes along
Within you are so many answers
Understand, have courage, be strong

Don't put limits on yourself

So many dreams are waiting to be realized
Decisions are too important to leave and to change
Reach for you peak, your goal, your prize

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying

The longer one carries a problem the heavier it gets
Don't take things too seriously
Live a life or serenity, not regrets

Remember that a little goes a long way

Remember that a lot....goes forever
Remember that friendship is a wise investment
Life's treasures are people....together

REalize that it's never too late

Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way
Have health and hope and happiness
Take the time to wish upon a star

And don't ever forget....for even a day

How very special you are
