Poems of love
 

DON’T EVER FALL IN LOVE

Don’t ever fall in love my friend,
You’ll se it doesn’t pay
It causes broken hearts,
It happens everyday
You’ll wonder where she’s at, at night,
You’ll wonder if she’s true
One minute you’ll be happy,
The next you’ll be blue
Love is fun, but the price you pay is high
If I had a choice between love and death,
I think I’d rather die
So, don’t ever fall in love my friend,
You’ll hurt before you’re though…
You see my friend,
I should know…
I fell in love with you!!!

MEETING
(By Robert Browning)

The gray sea, and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves, that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed in the slushy sand.

Then mile of warm, sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross, till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And a blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, though its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts, beating each to each

Nice poems.. and the first one really got me thinking...

There have been times in my life that I have so desperately missed having a partner that the ache was almost unbareable.. and then there was a time during my marriage that I swore to myself that I would rather be alone and lonely... than lonely with someone else (as I was with him).

A few years ago... an older woman very close to me lost her husband of many years. I had gotten to know them during my divorce and I held them in high regard. I watched them together and how after nearly 45 years they still adored one another. I would often watch them and think to myself how I hoped to find that someday.... that was my deepest goal... someone who I could adore.. and would in return adore me.. 45 years later...

Then... tragically without warning... he was gone. I watched this woman.. a very strong woman... suffer and ache for the man she has loved her entire life. As her friend, all I could do was offer emotional support... but I knew as did everyone around her that there was absolutely nothing any one of us could do that would fill the void that she was left with. It was watching her go thru this that somewhere in my mind I decided that what they had.. wasn't what I wanted afterall. Why on earth would I want to wish such pain and sorrow upon myself once the man I loved was gone?

Then one day... while talking to her... I again changed my mind. I realized that all the pain and ache that she was now induring was only a small price for all the love, devotion, and time that they were given with one another...

Again.. that is my dream... to find a man.. that I can look at 45 years later and adore...

just a few thoughts on love... and how falling in love is not only the worst thing that can happen to a person... but it is also the very best thing that can...

I hope that everyone here is blessed with that kind of love... even me :)

This was written for me by someone who was online and disappeared on me twice. The first time it broke my heart, the second time, I put my guard up and did not give my heart.

EVERY NIGHT


Every night, when I lay me down to sleep,
I want to reach over, to feel your lips so sweet.
Although I know I cannot be there,
You will always keep me from having any fear.

The sheets are very cold;
I feel like I'm in a huge hole.
What if we never meet?
Would my life be any better yet?

I long for the day we lock eyes;
I want you to be surprised.
As much as you may imagine what I'll be,
I can only be me.

So every night, when I lay me down to sleep,
You are in my mind with me.
And right before I fall asleep,
I wish upon that star for you to be with me.

Great stuff you guys :D

That poem had me thinking about it the day i wrote it.
Jennaflower------- i too know of many that that has happened too. Its always Sad to think about it, But you know if you can find someone that you can spend 45 years and miss them that much then you know it was love.
Many people dont understand the importance in Love and Lust. They can live with someone for 30 years to find they didnt love that person at all. But wanted to love them. Others fall in Love with being in love or being loved and not fall their selves. some go as far as just to be with someone with fear of being alone and stay for 25 years and never one OZ. of love is there. But i have been married since 1995 and do love her alot but sometimes dont know if the others stuff i said earlier apply cause she hurts me deeper then anyone ever has before and has no regret for it sometimes. And never has learned ME if you know what i mean.
but its hard to tell cause somedays are gold and some are coal. But worst of all I may never know if she does Love me as much as i do her. Cause noone has wrote a manual on marrage. So hopfully in this tangle web of life i will know before 45years have past If in true that she loves me as much as i do her. But i may never know...........

That poem was so beautiful roxanne....... you know we get chances in life all the time.. some people screw up and not realize it till they are old enough to wake up......letting someone in your heart is not a bad thing all the time even if they have hurt it... but you never know what can happen... if you dont let it happen.......
Remember this LIVE LIFE dont hide from love ever..... even if they Have hurt you once..... if you stop everything in life cause of a few people then you are letting life live you.........and when someone comes along that is right you may never find it cause you are putting up the shell of defence... and it wil walk right on by.......

Lovely.....all of the poems here went straight to my heart and I TY for balancing the scales. Thoughts to ponder......Hmmmmm!

The night is upon us,
Suddenly the phrase is said.
The phrase that seems to carry the world on it's back.
Softly, Gently, I Love You.
But Why I ask, Why do you love me?
I Love the look in your eyes,
The sorrow of our sweet goodbyes.
It hurts to see you go,
I don't know why my dear, my heart tells me so.
Brent Vernetti , BHS


You are my future to hell with my past
there is really no telling how long we will last
so we live day to day with the promise of tomorrow
but the truth is there may be no tomorrow
so we live moment to moment with the promise of love
but the truth is love is just a word and it can't feel
the way I feel when i'm with you
so live with me day to day, moment to moment
love with love

My heart goes out to someone special,
I will not tell you who
but when I see them...
My heart melts right into.

Roxanne.......the poem was beautiful.........
I suppose.....im just speechless......

OK. :cool:

Not literary greats but oh well……in no particular order of preference....

Pain

A void exists where once there was a beating heart.
We were to be together for ever now destined to be apart.

There is now so much time to fly by and by.
One day I hope this pain I feel will finaly die.

Told over and over again that I'm better than the rest.
How can it be that I always finish second best?

Again my emotions are toyed with then put back on the shelf.
Perhaps I should keep them safe only to be shared with myself.

This hurt inside has begun to fire a most dangerous trend.
It seems I have no fear of when this life will end.


Love

Love is such a very important thing.
It is a feeling that makes all hearts sing.
Love can be from a friend, someone dear.
It does not have to be someone near.
Love is such an easy feeling to share.
It is just a case of showing that you care.
Love is all about showing your true self.
It is not done by hiding the real you on a shelf.
Love is a thing of beauty that will never cease.
It is only with this gift that one day we will have peace.


Smile

A smile can show someone that you care.
A smile is something we must all share.
A smile can help friends who are in need.
A smile could help plant the friendship seed.
A smile should never bring a tear.
A smile will always bring a cheer.
A smile such a very simple thing.
A smile can make the coldest heart sing.

and if you're wondering who wrote them all..........it was me gotta pass the time in some way.

"Tis better to have Loved and Lost than to never have Loved at All" (not sure who said that)

Torment
by MKD

this was sent to me by a great friend by was scared of the outcome if she posted it so i decided to post it for her

Sitting here
All alone
With thoughts of you and her
Tormenting me so much

Hurting me deep inside
Like a dagger,
Piercing my heart, my soul
When will this end?


Why can't it be us?
Why, why, why?
Do I always have to live
A lonely life?

Can't I share it with you?
Please, please, please
Heal my wound
With your loving heart

Alice Cooper -- IT'S ONLY MY HEART TALKING

Anybody's dream can fall apart
Anybody's mask can break
Couldn't tell you how I wanted
you
Enough to make you want to stay
I never said the words out loud
I guess I couldn't get 'em straight
Baby, give me one more chance
Before you walk away
It's only, only, only, only my heart
talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only, only my
heart talkin'
Sayin' things I never thought I'd
say
Can't you hear me knocking
Tried to fool you but it wouldn't
play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin' to you
Everytime I take it to the edge
Everytime I'm so afraid
Don't you know I cry my eyes
out, babe
Everytime you look away
Oh, I almost dropped a tear
But I caught it just in time
I'd say those things you want to
hear
If you'd help me, help me, help
me try
It's only, only, only, only my heart
talkin'
Yeah, it's only, only, only, only my
heart talkin'
Sayin' things I never thought I'd
say
Can't you hear me knocking
Tried to fool you but it wouldn't
play
Cuz my heart it's talkin', it's talkin'
Baby, it's talkin'
Talkin' to you
Well, I don't want to hide away
Hide away without you, baby
Don't you go and run away
Come and help me, baby
Just a little help, baby
Oh, my little baby

Together

Walking along the lake shore, we watch the beautiful sun set.
As we stroll hand in hand, we celebrate the day that we met.

The moon is brightly shining, the stars glitter in the night.
It seems when I am with you, everything will be all right.

As the clouds slowly move in, life has offered us a chance.
With the crickets as our music, beneath the sky we dance.

The rain starts to pour down, laughing we run for cover.
I look into your eyes and whisper, “I want to be your lover.”

Outside the thunder rolls, we watch the lightning strike.
We snuggle close together, as your arms hold me tight.


~This is one of mine~ Sassy Rose

That is beautiful Sassy Rose. You have a real talent.

OOPS, not sure what happened there or how that post came in twice.....sorry all.

Thank you Midnight Kiss, poetry is something I enjoy when I'm inspired :)

My grandparents held hands as they walked and were totally

in love into their late 80s.

I've been kicked by love and survived it, as having it is better than not.

You just have to be a little picky in who you "let in".

Forbidden Dance
 

It started with a dance
We wanted so much more
It led to a kiss
Which opened up a door

We were lost in the moment
The stars in the sky
Holding one another
Looking in your eyes

We live separate lives
Yet, we lie on the covers
We know that we should stop
But we’re tempted to be lovers

Not knowing where this leads
We take it day by day
Moments with you cherished
I wish that I could stay

Every time we come together
We know that we must part
It matters not what happens
You remain within my heart

Trust In Dreams
by Allen Jesson

We belong together,
hopefully, for evermore.
I've never been this certain,
I've never been this sure.

So this trip is second time around,
and that has got an historic ring,
but you've got to leave that baggage,
and get a new suitcase to bring.

Because trust just doesn't go one way,
it is a long and two lane street,
it's where love and commitment go,
it's a place where lonely hearts meet.

You know that I love you,
and that our love is strong,
and I promise, with a solemn vow,
I shall never do you wrong.

Love Conquers All

Here we are together,
on this our special day,
I love you more than ever,
I love you more than I can say.

We've stayed together,
distance couldn't keep us apart,
joined together by love,
joined together at the heart.

I don't care what others may think,
I know now you are the only one,
you are my evening moonlight,
you are my morning sun.

I love you for who you are,
and not for what you've got.
I love you. Full stop.
No matter what.

I just want you to know,
(and pride does come before a fall),
that I love you now and for always,
and I know that our love will conquer all.

Promises



Do you know a secret ?

I write you letters every day.

But you know that I can't post them,

I wish there was another way.



You are so close,

but yet so very, very far,

because there is a chasm between us,

you can't just drive there in a car.



So now I'm the "other woman",

stuck at home while you go out,

left wondering what the hell,

what is this all about ?



You know I love you madly,

and I believe you love me too,

but this is so very hard,

do you know what I'm going through ?



I lay alone and awake at night,

thinking of you lying there with your wife,

it is then I wish it was different,

it is then that I wish for a different life.



And then I dream about us together,
Robin: as I finally drift off to sleep,

and in that dream we don't make promises,

that we don't think that we can keep.



Copyright Allen Jesson 2000

I wish you a rainstorm

I wish for you a rainstorm
that lasted for a day;
To wash away your sadness
and give you time to pray.
It would cover up your tears,
and then you’d surely see
That rainbows follow rainstorms
to brighten land and sea.

The grass seems a shade greener
the sky a dazzling blue;
Flowers open up closed buds,
the air feels crisp and new.
Everything seems fresh again,
the old was washed away;
Everything is clean again,
to start a brand new day.

Sometimes saddened hearts are like
the storm clouds that cause rain;
That wash us with such sadness
and fill us with such pain.
But when the rain has ended
you’ll look outside and see
The colors of a rainbow
to fill your heart with glee.

I wish for you a rainstorm
simply because I care.
May it wash away your pain
and let you know I’m there;
When the rain clouds dull your sky
now you will surely know
That when the storm is over
I will be your rainbow.

Together We Dream
 

Together we stroll by the deep blue sea
Whispering while our hearts soar free
Longing for each other’s love
The sweetness lifting us to the stars above

Together we move in the misty night
Blanketed by a shimmering light
Touching each other we gently caress
The feelings we share are sweet tenderness

Together we stand where the stars beam
Drifting along in a beautiful dream
Wrapped in each other’s arms
The sensations we feel, the sweetest charms

Together we lay where the moon is shining
Making love, our bodies twining
We stare into each other’s eyes
The sweet love seen, we’ll never disguise

~Sassy Rose

When I Hear You Whisper
 

I feel myself falling
Like the petals of a rose
When I hear you whisper
I am the reason your poetry flows

I shed a tear
Like rain drops in spring
When I hear you whisper
That I make your heart sing

I am wrapped in love
Like a soft teddy bear
When I hear you whisper
How very much you care

My heart flutters
Like the wings of a dove
When I hear you whisper
Sweet words of love

~Sassy Rose

My Angel In The Night
 

“Angels on your pillow”
Whispered to me each night
Leading me toward sweet dreams
Of holding each other tight

I want to hear your voice
And wish to feel your touch
Longing to be with you
I love you very much

Distance and time our enemies
Keeping us apart
And yet no matter where we are
You are always in my heart

Our dreams pull us together
We hold each other tight
Wrapping me in your love
You are my angel in the night

~Sassy Rose

(I dedicate this one to a couple of very special people on this site, they know who they are ;) )

The Rose
 

A rosebush is like our relationship.
The flower represents the fun times and the love that is shared.
It is beautiful and full of life.
But, there is always at least one thorn.
Even though that thorn can hurt, it was put there by God.
Our love started out as a bud and bloomed;
But now the thorns have caused our hearts to bleed.
We must part, but the beautiful rose that you have given me
will always remain in my heart.
It is left to God to decide if it will ever bloom again;
But I do love you.

~Sassy Rose

Ok this is the last one I'll post for now...it was the very first poem I ever did that meant anything and it was when I was in high school (wow that goes back a few years).
