Divena CollinsNo rose bouquets for me dont want to wine or dine just a box of chocolates those will do me just fine. please no valentine cards, folk may think I`m absurd I just prefer lots of cuddles in bed `cos actions speak louder than words. ----- To My Husband With Love Yesterdays finished, lost and gone only lifes memories linger on, some happy. sad, good,and bad the up`s and downs in life we had. The seasons come, the seasons go the summer sun, the winter snow, a soft and gentle breath of spring and gusty wind the autumn brings. In harmony we tread the path of dreams affection grows on the way it seems, cherishing, caring, our own sweet way loving each other more each day. When life outlives it`s strength my dear the day of judgements drawing near, life will continue, life will go on, part of us. through our sons,reborne. ----- Valentine Hearts Where are ye going to,fair young maide on this moonlit Saint Valentines eve, Oh where, I most fondly perceive, I`m off kind sire,to green grass glade `fore the light of the moon doth fade; for there my love, I will you receive by the glade, we may interweave, refrains,of soft breezes hath played. For we shall taste fine fruits of love, and drinketh of sweet honeyed mead where cupids dart,doth pierce with speed, `neath the beams of the moon above; amorous feelings of love are free`d, whilst two Valentine hearts concede. back to list |
Jem FarmerI feel your love every day, the light of life, my only sun, to turn back time is all I ask, my wish, if I could have but one. Unravel the pages of time, let the past turn and be undone, so I can see my love again, my wish, if I could have but one. Let us embrace beneath the moon, read poetry until it's dun, share the joys of life's adventure, my wish, if I could have but one. Instead my voice trails on the wind, my kiss with love on marbled stone, my rose, if only we could be, my wish, if I could have but one. Ich Liebe! back to list |
Judie GellingChocolate dipped strawberries, an erotic dish Luxuriate, my lips like a sensual kiss, As he proposes, a life of wedded bliss On Valentine's Day My love, I ask of you forever be mine With our minds together, we dream so divine His soul it sang out as his voice it did shine On Valentine's Day. ----- Promise of Love What happened that day the telephone rang? Your voice was loud, but your pain even louder You promised to love me forever, and then You kissed me goodbye It happened that day the telephone rang I promised to love you forever, and then In silence I stood, with a tear in my eye And waved you goodbye Where did you go that day the telephone rang? When the horizon stretched far and beyond, The day we made our forever promise Whilst saying goodbye. back to list |
Deborah Gordon- To memories that creep That speak of love, of silences and sleep To steady us in every part We'll come to know; the slowing of ones heart. And so they'd dwell inside of us, If all be mild - A flame so wild So precious, and so bright my child. back to list |
Ryter Roethicle"In the twilight glow I see her Blue eyes crying in the rain When we kissed goodbye and parted I knew we'd never meet again" In the twilight glow I see her Clouded skies have hid the sun Knowing she has gone forever I don't regret what we'd begun. Blue eyes crying in the rain I know I must go on, still How I wish I could stop the pain But I love her and I always will. When we kissed goodbye and parted As you lay there in my arms Leaving me broken hearted But ever faithful to your charms. I knew we'd never meet again But in my soul you have remained Knowing we will meet in Heaven And will have our love reclaimed. ----- Devotion Admire the wind, and the view of peaks and such A sight seen rare, by very few. Heaven gave me This crutch in life. My desire is that it could Be viewed by two. At love I clutch suddenly. Not fear of heights But fear of love. No longer feared of what I knew But fear of what I don't know and love made me Approach you like this. ----- Fantasy Island Let me take you to a place where we can live Our love, our hopes and our dreams. A place where we Can live in peace, fulfilling our fantasies. Fantasy Island. On that island is only pleasure and love There we will love and make love from wake to sleep And in that sleep peace will come, the peace only Love, true love, can bring. We can stay a week, or a month, perhaps a year Starting right now close your eyes and feel my kiss And with that kiss, surrender yourself to me For Eternity. ----- Forgive Me Forgive my arms, they find joy in holding you Forgive my lips, they find joy in kissing you Forgive my heart, it finds joy in loving you Should I be sorry? ----- Noon Til Three I want you I said looking into her eyes And I want you she said looking back. The bar was full ignoring our sighs And togetherness we did not lack. I pulled her close hands holding tight And made a carnal thought And for a short time filled with love My soul was dearly bought. The bar went still no one moved And for a while, time was still And we could do what ever wanted Our senses we could fill. "Three hours", I thought, "I have with you" Three hours was worth the cost. And drew her even closer to me For this my soul and life was lost. On the billiard table in the crowded room We stripped and kissed and dallied Uncaring unhurried in our acts of love Of the audience round which we tarried. Exploring bodies with eyes and mouths Touching, feeling our senses reel. Two bodies searching, joined, Hungry for a sensuous meal. But in a while lust lost its place And deep, deep love took over. And glistening eyes and tender sighs Replaced that super nova. Every single touch every soft caress Was worth any others lifetime It was easily bought and easily paid, She will be my love throughout time. Everything that was done and said Now comes rushing back to me. Those three hours of sweet love Are my treasure for eternity. When at last the dark men came To take away their treasure. They found they could not carry their prize Loves to heavy for their measure. But debts I owe and debts I'll pay And those debts go on and on. Three hours of love a life of hell But for you my love is heaven. ----- Valentine I can't think of a sight more beautiful Than your hair cascading on the pillow. I have visualised it in my memory A thousand times in one day, each day And will each day we are apart until We meet again and make more memories. Until then I will play soft romantic music Dreaming of your hair on the pillow And write my dreams in words of love. back to list |
Nia Wynne Dream On Special ways you make me laugh, helps me dream on. With strength and charm you give me hope to dream on. In loyalty and steadfastness I dream on, Please dream on with me! -----  Happy Face Your smiling face has slowly stolen my heart. The way your eyes sparkle show me much of joy, For your happiness is my happiness, too. Happy face, be mine! back to list |
Maryse and WillowLove Can Hurt Often when great sorrow rages Other joys are cast aside, And although they start new pages True feelings are locked inside. And so if love comes a-calling He may find there's no one there, At least no one who'll be falling In love, although they may care. Though the head says 'time for new starts' Oft times heart does not agree, Becomes impervious to darts Despite Cupid's archery. But sometimes the heart will give in Warily to suitor's vow, But if things don't turn out right then, Harder next time to allow Anybody else to encroach, Easier to close the doors, No need for reproof or reproach Or to reopen old sores. ----- Do Not Sorrow Do not sorrow, do not grieve, nothing true is ever lost this I do believe. if flowers are re-born each year, filling the world with colour and fragrance, undaunted by cold winter's sway, why should Love of all things perish - though it seems to pass away it will come another day, just as sacred, just as pure, full of tender words and laughter, full of promise, full of joy. Even death can not destroy the seeds of an undying thing; triumphantly it shall rise again, a phoenix glowing in grey ash. Sing forth. Love, your joyful paean, and all the world the loud refrain of transcendental Beauty, annealed, made whole, ascendant over Sorrow's care, flowers in her wind-blown hair. back to list |
