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!!!

to: someone special

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

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
K.SHORT , BENTONVILLE

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

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.

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
