A New Beginning
Poem by Michael Flood
Relationships always start out good
And you do all that you should
You say "I love you" at every chance
and realize a new beauty at every glance
You treat her like a queen to the utmost
Like she's your personal heavenly host
When you see her, you open up your heart
And still you can't stand to be two feet apart
Every kiss is like a new beginning
The love seemingly has no ending
When you argue you tell her she's right
Just because you don't want to fight
With every new day and mature stride
You continuously relinquish your pride
It never dawning that there would come a day
That your heart would be jolted into dismay
That when the person you love, and would give your life,
Would return the favor with overwhelming strife
The one whom you dedicated your all
Showed no remorse at all
Your faithfulness was totally taken for granted
And the partnership would be permanently tainted
Now you must do the hardest thing you'll ever have to
Say goodbye to one to whom you loved true
So, now you're alone and back at square one
In seclusion you ponder what was that you?d done
Was it the constant I love you at every chance
Or the newfound beauty at every glance
Without a clue, you can't grasp the reason with your hand
What drove her into the arms of another man
So, you cherish this as a lesson well taught
Through all the heartache it brought
So, the true lesson is that love is a crazy game
That is often filled with pain
Even though it may be hurt filled
You must always rebuild
Because if you continue to keep your head down
Your true love may never be found
This is a true life story I just told
Even though I may not be that old
Its a recollection of my first true love
Whom I felt was sent from above
A relationship that I thought wouldn't ever end
Till she dumped me for my best friend
Trials and tribulation, we all go through
But the overall outcome is always up to you
And when you decide to truly get over it
You should develop a love that is so deep, someone can fall in it
My Dream.
Poem by Essie Texas
One night I had a dream,
I dreamt that I would find someone
that could truly make me happy
I dreamt that he would be like no other,
to my hopes I might discover
I dreamt that he would be handsome and tall,
I dreamt that he would not have
just a few appealing qualities,
he would possess them all!
I dreamt he would have eyes that could make my body melt,And that his soft kisses
could make me feel like I have never felt
I dreamt that his smile could light up my whole day,that his simple touch could take my breath away!
I dreamt that the feeling of him holding me
tight could send tears to my eyes...
Something again I have not felt with any other guys
I dreamt that he could touch me just the right way
That he would do anything for me without a delay
I dreamt that he would be generous and never unkind,
I dreamt that he was perfect and wanted him to be mine!
I dreamt he would be my first true love
So I hoped and wished and prayed...
And soon the angels heard me and carried him my way
One day something happened like nothing of the rest,
This dream I had came true
How did you guess?
There he stood perfect in my eyes
Soon I realized,
He was my dream guy!
He took my breath away,
Made my heart skip a beat
I knew right then and there...
I am for him and he is for me!
Now every night before I sleep I thank the angels above
They granted me my wish, they sent me my one true love
A Perfect Match
Poem by Craig Stevenson El Paso, Texas
All my life I've pictured this day,
The day of a new beginning
with the one special girl
whom which I would cherish forever.
I pictured her eyes,
her smile,
her forever stunning beauty
and her tender loving touch.
Then told myself this would be my dream girl
whom forever I would love so much.
Someone to shine their light upon my everyday
giving that warm feeling noone could ever take away.
Not even on my coldest, darkest day.
Someone whom I could always talk to
and tell her what's on my mind
Even if there was nothing that she could do.
I know that she would still stand by my side.
Destiny brought me to a perfect match
and here she stands before me.
You accepted my love without a catch
and Forever our love I'll envy.
Something told me from the start
from the moment I looked into your eyes
you held the key to unlock my heart.
Now forever my heart is open for you
and I vow there is nothing that I won't do
and forever I will be
and bare the truest of love inside me.
I thank God far all he's blessed me.
The Lord set you as my Destiny.
Michelle you're my other half
MY PERFECT MATCH
and Forever and all eternity
shall our hearts remain attached.

Wedding Poems: Love (35)
Dreaming of that night.
Poem by Tara Lynn Thomas Ontario, Canada.
Every young girl dreams of finding her mister right,
And I believe that I found you that night.
The night we held hands and sat in the rain,
I knew I would never search for that man again.
The words you said were so magical and sweet,
With every look and whisper you swept me off my feet.
Now that we're planning our big day,
I can't help feeling this way;
I love you,
for every single dream you made come true.
I Will Not Settle
Poem by Chavonia Hughes
You said you would give me the sun and the moon...
and every single star in the sky, if only you could...But you can not, so you asked if I would settle instead for all of your love and nothing more. And I tell you this is something I can not do.
How can I settle when the fire that burns within me burns brighter then a thousand suns? And unlike the sun your love is not divided: sometimes
here and sometimes gone. The light of your love shines bright as the day in the eternal summer within my heart. With you I never know darkness, not even for a moment. Settling is something I can not do, for you love me and I will always love
you.
How can I settle when my love for you is more vast
then any ocean and you exert your power over my heart as the moon does to the sea? Although like the moon you are solid... you are my rock, and you
are distant and beautiful, and a mystery. Unlike the moon, you are warm and shine with your own inner light. And yes, you are distant, but you are always there for me. Settling is something I
can not do, for you love me and I will always love
you.
How can I settle when I could say "I Love You" as
many times as there are stars in the sky, and yet it still would not be enough? If yu were a star in the sky a million miles away, I would spend a
thousand life times searching for you. I would scour the nighttime sky and discover a way to fly,
to be with the one whose heart is pure and whose love is true. Although there are billions upon billions of stars, I would always know which of them you are, for you would be the brightest, the
most pure, The MOST beautiful of them all. So again I say settling is something I can not do, for I want nothing more then your love, I want nothing more then you. I love you.
I Wanna Be There
Poem by Thomas
I Wanna Be There...
I wanna be there everyday,
I wanna be there when you?re old and grey,
As long as we live,
I?ll give you everything that I can give,
?Cause I wanna be there,
I wanna be there to hold you when you cry,
I wanna be there and I will always try,
To dry your tears,
Throughout the years,
?Cause I wanna be there,
I wanna be there to see you smile,
Side by side past every mile,
We will travel down the road of life,
Through all of the chaos and the strife,
Together,
?Cause I wanna be there,
I wanna be there when nothing seems to be going right,
I wanna be there to comfort you and tell you that everything will be alright,
I will be there to tell you that everything will be okay,
Just as long as you let me stay,
With you,
?Cause I wanna be there,
I wanna be there through the good times and the bad,
I wanna be there through the happy times and the sad,
When everything else is falling apart,
Just remember that you?ll always have my heart,
Because I love you and I wanna be there.
Silence of the Night
Poem by R. Squires N.Y.
The moonlight shining throught the window,
lighting up the room with a light blue coloring,
the time seemed right,
the ring slipped onto her finger so perfectly,
the diamonds sparkled wildely,
silence over took the room,
she just starred at her hand,
a tear dripped from her eye,
she didnt say a thing just smiled,
then whispered "I love you"

Wedding Poems: Love (34)
Name of Love
Poem by Margaret Flores
Though my loves calls me all night long,
For it was he who sang the sweetest song,
The wind that carries presses his lips,
Kisses of wine with the cup he sips,
Shower his existence with the pleasures
of the earth,
But leave him the man was to be at birth,
Words have no perfection of the heart mourns,
Its the happiness of innocence that
makes enemies scourn,
Pleasents of virtue mystifies human minds,
live the life you live but no more behind,
It's the mystery of love that makes a fool,
But one who gives affection is put on a pedistol,
Let my lover be as he is,
The only crime he has committed was
loving me like this,
So ahppily his eyes may often glare,
I see untamed bliss surround me there,
Euphoric emotions burn within me,
Let his faith lead him to what his eyes
could not foresee,
Time relieve from this lonely ache,
Shall love conquer all or will it forsake,
inexplicable is cupid's aim,
But none more unexplainable was love's own name.
L. O. V. E.
Poem by Dorothy Johnson California
L. Is for loneliness. That I fell when your not here.
O. Is for only.I love only you my dear.
V. Is for vows.The vows we taken to be husband and wilfe.
E.Is for end.I'll love you till the end of time.
Love Is....
Poem by Athena Laird Coolidge, AZ

-Love is an unconditional sense of beauty which lasts a lifetime
-Love is an everlasting feeling that keeps you alive and going
-Love is an overwhelming expectation that is always within you
-Love is never letting go
-Love is everything we live for
-Love is the meaning of life
LOVE IS US!!
A Dream
Poem by Kelly Hess Anahiem, Ca.
I had a dream
I wish you could see
Of this man
The one married to me
He was so kind
and gentle in a way
He showed me love
In his own special way
He has the warmest hands
That engulf me
The biggest heart
That shows me how much he cares
He fills my heart with love
Everytime I look at him
His smile
His laugh
His voice
His love
What more could I want?
More time with him maybe
Because life goes so fast
More time to look at the contours of his face
To imprint him in my soul
I want to show him
How much he means to me
How his voice can brighten up my day
How being with him uplifts me
How sharing my life with him means more than anything
Or maybe I could write him a love poem
One inspired by him
To tell him my heart sings when I think of him
My heart sings...

Wedding Poems: Love (33)
The Soul Should Not Be Handled
Poem by David R. Bannon
You do not answer.
Clasping smooth wood, pale
mouth curved in a slow smile -
provocative, daring -
body curving so softly:
velvety texture,
white-flashing smile.
I am aware of you.
Time hangs heavy.
I allow dark eyes to wander -
slow regard, missing nothing.
Your voice deepens a little.
I take you by the shoulders:
soft, a creamy smoothness.
We quiver perceptibly.
Arms close about us.
Our breath catches suddenly -
sweet yielding, pitifully human -
looking down into your face:
very near, your eyes meet mine
with pulsing pupils,
the flicker of - something -
deep behind their shallows.
Through the clamor of blood -
even as lips brush, shy and bold -
something deep quivers:
inexplicable, instinctive.
What is it? We cannot tell.
Dark knowledge hungry in dark pupils.
For a mad instant we know.
An ancient invocation -
older than we realize, now or ever -
fills the room of darkness:
moonlight and moving shadows.
Something - comforting and silent -
light and loose between us.
Softness of impossible intimacy.
Moving gently, very gently -
soft, caressive pressure that sends
thrills of delight through us -
every nerve a perilous delight:
Beyond physical pleasure,
deeper than joy of the mind.
Caressing the roots of our souls.
Ecstasy leaves us weak yet we know-
in knowledge born of this dream -
turning pleasure into rapture:
we try to part, but half-heartedly.
In intimacy terrible and close
but still most sweet, we know:
The soul should not be handled.
Yet the delight of our bodies
is so great our hands all but
refuse the attempt - devouring rapture:
a struggle of soul against willful body.
Titanically we resist until
the moving shadows cloud and close about us.
We sink into oblivion.
If we could forget our eyes -
deepness beyond words -
we could forget everthing:
curves so beautifully soft,
pulses mounting, kindling within
awareness and mysteries.
Excitement presages something momentous.
Brilliant moonlight lights the room -
warning instinct clamors -
yet it is an ordinary thing to do:
lips brushing over skin.
Ordinary for anyone, anywhere,
presentiment stirring within.
Cloth folds loosen.
An unwinking gaze, fascinated incredulity -
not realizing the motion -
stares at one lock of hair.
Hands caress and cheeks quiver:
We do not dream.
We are beyond wondering. We realize that.
We unfasten the last fold.
We lay in the shadows -
frozen within and without.
In a moment our eyes must meet.
Our hearts stop, we cannot pull them away.
The dark all but hides our bodies.
Our faces turn very slowly.
Somehow there is beauty.
Eyes meet. We feel a shock -
shudders ripple down our paralyzed spines -
skin rising:
eyes locked in a long, long look,
presaging not altogether unpleasant
murmurous promises.
We speak in a voiceless voice.
We succumb to a blind abyss of submission -
but the sight of each other draws
us out of the seductive dark:
We put up our hands and like swimmers
part the heady tension,
find absolution in this sacrament.
For a moment we are forgiven.
You reveal your own body -
smile exquisitely, sweetly curved -
and I discover knowledge:
the realization of vast backgrounds
reaching into misted history.
I know that I look upon Love.
In that moment our eyes meet again.
Smiling, glass in the moonlight -
half-hooded under drooping lids -
we hold out our arms:
Something soul-shakingly desireable
surges in our blood. I stumble toward you
like a sleeper in a dream.
You sway toward me.
In your cloak of living beauty -
infinitely graceful, infinitely rare -
moonlight slides and shines over you:
Losing itself only to glint again
and move silvery along quivering skin.
Shuddering beauty too real to contain.
All this we but half realize.
Murmurs tremble within us -
promising, caressing, alluring -
eyes holding each other:
clear and burning like the depths of jewels.
Behind the pulsing pupils of darkness
lies a greater dark that holds all things.
We know; dimly, we know.
When we gaze behind the shallows of our eyes -
all beauty and delight and infinite darkness -
we know what is behind them:
the dark is not to be feared.
Like ancestors wise and good
we embrace forbidden colors trapped in the dark.
But the soul should not be handled.
Our eyes open like windows on a kaleidescope -
paned with glass, revealing what we kept secret -
Your lips move:
a murmur blends with the silence
and the sway or our bodies,
softly, passionately.
We speak now. "Oh, beloved!"
"What was forbidden we denied ourselves" -
murmurs swelling and caressing -
"No one forbade us:
Only our foolish selves
refused to shine light on these colors.
Light on the soul is a sacrament of love."
Quietly, the darkness dispels.
Arms slide round us - promising,
compelling, sweeter than sweet -
bodies clinging, arms locked about necks:
with a whisper and a rush
love closes about us.
We feel it is our first embrace.
Our lives are naked.
In this graven instant - a flash of sensation
before surrendering -
the gentle caresses on our flesh
seem an ecstasy beyond words:
beyond the body, beyond the mind,
tickling the roots of the soul.
The soul should not be handled. It should be given.
We stand while this beauty thrills through us -
through every atom of our bodies,
and the intangible atoms of the soul -
through all that is us.
Our bodies answer the root-deep ecstasy,
innermost depths rejoicing in delight.
Our caresses tenderly accept all things.
This conflict - of sudden knowledge
and old dark souls given new light -
mingles rapture and deep tremors
of infinite pleasure:
Deeply, behind all this, we shake with
joy through it all. Our souls are free.
We discover purity at last.
We do not stir in this ecstatic embrace.
A peace is spreading - growing deeper with
each wave of delight.
Our souls strengthen.
We cease to struggle, surrendering wholly
to intense light.
***
WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY:
This is a poem about overcoming fear of intimacy. It begins on a purely
physical level and (If I was successful) moves to the deeper sensuality
of true intimacy -- the sharing of souls. At first it may seem
analogous to a battle with temptation -- our own fears of the "dark"
within. But as the poem progresses, the dark is revealed as nothing
more than fear of intimacy. It is not temptation, but our own
preconceived notions of what should and should not be shared that bind
us from true sharing. When the soul is given freely, its wondrous
colors are so bright that the dark fear may be forgotten. What do you
think?
The One I Love
Poem by Tracy Strait Elmira
As I lay her thinkin'
I can think of only you
I wish we were together
but somehow it didn't work out.
I wish somehow we can start all over
but I know that's never gonna come.
I know it's kind of hard to understand,
but for you are the one I love and the one with
the key to my heart.
I think of you every night
and sometimes I can't sleep.
I think of how good it would be,
if we would only still be together.
I try to think of other things,
but I can only think of you.
I guess I can't get over you,
but I'm sure gonna try.
For now I can only think
of all the good times we've had.
The way you make me laugh, your smile,
and everything we've done.
There's a lot more than what I named,
those are just a few.
I just pray some day
that we will be in love forever.
You're always on my mind
and I can't stop thinkin' about you.
I'm sittin' here alone and still
all I can think about is you.
People tell me you're still in love with me,
some say you have to move on.
As every day goes by I'm still thinkin about you.
It doesn't matter where I am or whom I'm with
I'm still thinkin' about you,
you're always on my mind.
I've tried my hardest to forget you,
but I guess I still can't.
I'ld give anything to be with you,
to have you by my side.
All I know is if we never get back together,
I'll never forget you, your smile, your love,
and the way you treated me.
I Love You Always and Forever!

and the sway or our bodies,
softly, passionately.
We speak now. "Oh, beloved!"
"What was forbidden we denied ourselves" -
murmurs swelling and caressing -
"No one forbade us:
Only our foolish selves
refused to shine light on these colors.
Light on the soul is a sacrament of love."
Quietly, the darkness dispels.
Arms slide round us - promising,
compelling, sweeter than sweet -
bodies clinging, arms locked about necks:
with a whisper and a rush
love closes about us.
We feel it is our first embrace.
Our lives are naked.
In this graven instant - a flash of sensation
before surrendering -
the gentle caresses on our flesh
seem an ecstasy beyond words:
beyond the body, beyond the mind,
tickling the roots of the soul.
The soul should not be handled. It should be given.
We stand while this beauty thrills through us -
through every atom of our bodies,
and the intangible atoms of the soul -
through all that is us.
Our bodies answer the root-deep ecstasy,
innermost depths rejoicing in delight.
Our caresses tenderly accept all things.
This conflict - of sudden knowledge
and old dark souls given new light -
mingles rapture and deep tremors
of infinite pleasure:
Deeply, behind all this, we shake with
joy through it all. Our souls are free.
We discover purity at last.
We do not stir in this ecstatic embrace.
A peace is spreading - growing deeper with
each wave of delight.
Our souls strengthen.
We cease to struggle, surrendering wholly
to intense light.

WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY:
This is a poem about overcoming fear of intimacy. It begins on a purely
physical level and (If I was successful) moves to the deeper sensuality
of true intimacy -- the sharing of souls. At first it may seem
analogous to a battle with temptation -- our own fears of the "dark"
within. But as the poem progresses, the dark is revealed as nothing
more than fear of intimacy. It is not temptation, but our own
preconceived notions of what should and should not be shared that bind
us from true sharing. When the soul is given freely, its wondrous
colors are so bright that the dark fear may be forgotten. What do you
think?
The One I Love
Poem by Tracy Strait Elmira
As I lay her thinkin'
I can think of only you
I wish we were together
but somehow it didn't work out.
I wish somehow we can start all over
but I know that's never gonna come.
I know it's kind of hard to understand,
but for you are the one I love and the one with
the key to my heart.
I think of you every night
and sometimes I can't sleep.
I think of how good it would be,
if we would only still be together.
I try to think of other things,
but I can only think of you.
I guess I can't get over you,
but I'm sure gonna try.
For now I can only think
of all the good times we've had.
The way you make me laugh, your smile,
and everything we've done.
There's a lot more than what I named,
those are just a few.
I just pray some day
that we will be in love forever.
You're always on my mind
and I can't stop thinkin' about you.
I'm sittin' here alone and still
all I can think about is you.
People tell me you're still in love with me,
some say you have to move on.
As every day goes by I'm still thinkin about you.
It doesn't matter where I am or whom I'm with
I'm still thinkin' about you,
you're always on my mind.
I've tried my hardest to forget you,
but I guess I still can't.
I'ld give anything to be with you,
to have you by my side.
All I know is if we never get back together,
I'll never forget you, your smile, your love,
and the way you treated me.
I Love You Always and Forever!

Knights in Shining Armor
Poem by S. Minshall
I want to believe in knights in shining armor?
I want to believe in romance?
And sometimes, at night?
when I close my eyes?
and listen to the sound of your voice?
I believe that romance isn?t dead?.
I want to take care of
this rare and fragile thing we have found?
I like the way your love makes me feel?
I like letting my guard down a little....
and perhaps, you were looking for your princess...
Isn?t it funny how we look so hard to find the one
who will make our dreams come true?
When all along, that person is within ourselves, and what we are really looking for is someone to share those dreams with.
I'm so very glad that I've found you.
The birthday of love
Poem by Sylvester Iduseri
Angella as your birthday drawth near
with each rising sun of october month
i count one less from the day twenty
Trusting the times and rhythm of my heart
today was it that God made and sent his gift
not only to your world but over the walls
My heart rhythm replays the day i realised
you opened a new door of friendship
as open as the sky it ever shall remain
I may not have been there all these while
but here is another grace to remind you
many think but i know & see a unique genre
is something out there to remember and hold
your love, cares,soothing jokes and smiles
reasons to thank God for a gift such as you
above all you are my true friend and sister
God still gives wisdom to sustain true love
taking care of those who can not themselves
may He allow our love to become even lovelier
and add more Life to your Years even now Happy-bite-day gela my love.
My World
Poem by Lane Bannon
The world is changing.
The world all around me. My world.
Each smile is brighter, Each laugh is deeper
and each heart more dear.
To be special and adored by one so sweet
A heart filled with tenderness and love.
Knowing he is there...with all of me.
Come shine down on darkened doorways
Cobwebs are gently brushed aside
A fellow traveler enters and breaks an old spell.
My world is changing
It thanks you for the beauty
you've released through me
My world is changing
I see the outstretched hand
Was vague, but now clearer,
one for me to hold.
Though our paths differ, I extend my arm.
This little girl, so frozen, so hidden
Begins to thaw and tiny drops
of water Fall gently to the floor.
Can you see? My world is changing.
Within the words written, So careful, so bold.
They reach deeper
and in my mind I must see beyond those words
to the boy within.
My Love Is True
Poem by Brandon Lee Waite
our love is like a star-
burning with fire
a star is like a diamond-
said to be forever
a diamond is precious
like my love is for you
precious is love
and knowing it's true

"Thinking the world of you"
Poem by Irvin Green III
When I first looked into your eyes.I see beautiful
features in you;Such as,your mind body and smile
I will treat you like a Queen and also buy you
flowers,candy,and sending you greeting cards too.
Because I know you are that special one.
When I listen to love songs that are smooth and
relaxing.I think about you in my dreams.In our
personal relationship we may have some problems
that we are going to go through.
That's why my love I will always think the world
of you.
One Heart
Poem by Rinna janesville wisconsin
One word from you
And everything seems changed,
And I, believing it to be true...
My lifes about to be rearranged...
Soft words that say you care
Caress the softness of my cheek,
The blowing tendrils of my hair
Softly frame the angel eyes you seek:
I try to smile and show no fear....
to stop the wild beatings of my heart,
But when you whisper words so dear
I long for days, we'll never be apart.
One hand I reach out, and hold before you,
A softly glowing light I hold;
"Becareful,for it can break in two",
I whisper softly, and feeling bold...
You unlace my fingers ever so slow...
And in my hand you see the glow.
gently with a smile you take it from me,
And place it where it longs to be
Right next to yours...our hearts entwine
Two hearts inscribed with trust and love,
May all who've felt it, smile as they see
That angels smile from up above,
As we become one, you and me.
May it's light and depth transcend you,
May it's truth and love long endure,
May our hearts no longer be just two,
But shine as one both innocent and pure
No longer shall there be small pieces of two
But brilliant shards so like the brightest sun
Sparkling bright and fresh like morning dew
As our small pieces of just two..Stop, and become
Just one.
You're the one....
Poem by Rola
The first time I saw you I loved you so much
You were the one who taught me to touch
You held me and loved me as if there's no tomorrow
You washed away all my hurt and sorrow
The mere glimpse of you makes me want you even more
You've opened up the door to my heart and touched the very core
Linda
Poem by Martin Mason
Like diamonds you sparkle W
Whatever the light
Your luminescent aura
Lights up my life
Your warmth and your beauty
To me is a dream
And you are worth every penny
Of love I can give
My life which was nothing
Being alone and so blue
Really started happening
When I met you
You are Magic and gorgeous
And adorable too
You're my sparkle of diamonds
When I look at you
Evening's Dance
Poem by Clay Smith
Sun sets
in gold and blues,
promising tomorrow
will come true.
Memories linger
of hours passed.
Crimson hues
our shadows cast.
Eyes of blue,
sun kissed skin.
Lips like wine
as night begins.
Sun bestows
its final wink.
Surf recedes in
shades of pink.
Mandolin cries
faint and low.
A warm embrace,
a song we know.
Rest your head,
holding tight.
Moving as one
by candle light.
Bodies sway
with gentle sighs.
Reflections play
in loving eyes.
Like petaled stem
from virgin seed.
A soft caress
like summer?s breeze.
Against the walls
and window panes,
our shadows play
like summer rain.
Evening passes,
music fades.
Candle dims,
moon invades.
Filling within
our hearts and minds,
like love one feels
or hopes to find.
Now an evening?s kiss
is on our lips.
An evening?s dance
to reminisce.
You whisper soft,
as you take my hand.
Was it all a dream
in the evening sand.
The promises made,
not in haste.
Sweet thoughts of you
like honeys taste.
Between the moon
And morning light,
You take me slowly,
holding tight
Simple pleasures
as if new.
Bodies one...
but born as two.
Like starlight wink,
high aloft.
Your warm whispers,
Low and soft.
It seems to say
without sound,
Feelings true
will abound.
Things we feel,
things we see
make these lover?s
hearts believe,
In things not heard
in things not seen,
in simple love
And simple dreams.

It's Called Love
Poem by Linda Stanley
It's made of hope,
And built on trust.
You can sweep it together,
But it will scatter like dust.
You can build it up,
But it can fall apart.
It can heal the soul,
Yet break the heart.
It will lift your spirits
And make them soar.
It may end a battle,
But start a war.
Make dreams come true;
Or be a nightmare.
Fill the brave with fear;
Make the heartless care.
It will make a wish.
Turn day into night.
Send it on a prayer.
Turn dark into light.
This strange thing sent from above.
To some it seems evil;
To most...it's called love.
When Time Stood Still!
Poem by Shelly Franklin
The very first time that I saw you,
It was magical, Like time stood still.
The world stopped, the heavens opened up,
And there you were, like an angel standing there.
The very moment that our eyes met was when life began.
You touched my soul with your eyes so innocent and sweet.
And in that moment I knew that my life would be forever changed.
With every soft touch and with every little kiss.
I was hoping and praying that this night would never end.
I will forever remember this night for as long as I live?
When I found my true love and time stood still.
As I Watch Him...
Poem by Shelly M. Franklin
I watch him as he sleeps,
His peaceful sleep.
He takes a breath,
First, shallow, then deep.
I breathe with him,
Gazing upon him with much love....
Studying each precious feature,
Memorizing every line, shape and curve of his being.
A little piece of heaven,
Is what I'm actually seeing.
I take focus on his lips,
Laying gently, one on top of the other...
Perfectly shaped soft and warm.
They part ever so slightly
As his sleep deepens,
And I am reminded of his kiss.
Like the sun,
It warms me from head to toe.
Each kiss comes to an end
But never quite lets me go.
Quietly I sit....
Close to him,
Still with him.
Watching him with my eyes,
Loving him with my heart,
Embracing him with my soul.
Every breath draws me closer
In spirit deeper in love.
And so... I watch him
As he sleeps, his peaceful sleep.
If I told you everything I wanted to.
Poem by Denon Carr
If I told you everything I wanted to.
What if I told you everything you wanted to here
You wouldn't even know what to do.
You would go into shock and freeze.
You would blush and wouldn't make a sound.
If I said eveything I thought of you out loud.
You really would be proud.
If I told you eveything that was on my mind.
That I think of you all the time.
You wouldn't look at me the same ever.
If i was to go off and disappear without a trace.
I would love to see you face.
If i told you i was helplessly in love with you, what would you say?
That's good please have a nice day.
If I told you that you wre the most beautiful thing I ever saw.
That wouldn't matter to you at all.
If I said you had the most amazing smile, that i have laid eyes on.
If I did almost anything to make you happy.
If I said there was nothing i wouldn't do for you.
If I was to say all these things i said to you were true.
What in the world would you do?
