Share a Love Poem

[TheFifthElement]

Have you ever written a love poem for someone (and given it to them?), did they like it, or did they think it was terrible? Have you ever been lucky enough to have a love poem written for you? How about sharing them here?

I wrote this poem (which has been posted before) for my husband, and he loved it.

A Perfect Moment

I love it
when you stand behind me
with your hands
on my hips,
and I can feel you
(but not see you),
a solid presence,
warm and strong
connecting me
to this
moment,
and I wonder
can you hear
my heart
beating
a little harder;
can you feel me
waiting,
anticipating
your next move;
and can you sense
my disappointment
as you move
away,
and it ends
(as it always does),

until next time?

Come on, don't be embarrassed, share your love poems here!

I said LOVE Lote, not LUST!

[dmoretta]

Here is one I wrote.

To watch you sleep

I love the way the moon light revels upon your face,
The way I feel when we embrace.
As I watch you sleep, I run my fingers through your hair,
Paralyzed by your beauty, to which few compare.
As you sleep, you seem to smile with glee.
I can only pray that you are dreaming of me.
Staying awake to watch you sleep may sound a bit cliché,
But I could gaze upon your beauty every night and every day.
Admiring your loveliness, which never ceases to enthrall.
When I’m with you, I feel like I have it all.

ok.

But I was fortunate enough to recieve a love letter. That was before I knew what love was. My cruel rejection of it though still chops at my heart like an axe...

[AimusSage]

I just adore love poems, They make me feel all warm and fuzzy

Here is one of mine, I posted it here 2 or so years ago, but it was ignored, my love unanswered!

Severed

The weakness of the heart
Will see two people part
It is the strength of will
That will make you chill
In ice covered emotion
Basking in blind devotion.

You are not needed here
Just go away my dear
Grab your things and leave
Stop trying to be so naive
It does not suit you well
In your one way trip to hell.

[Niamh]

Okay heres a really short one i wrote back in 2001.( i apologise in advance for it being remarkably bad. I'm better at writing depressing poems that love poems, if you can even call it that!)

I dreamed you'd gone and died
Before you knew how i felt
And All i could feel and think inside
Was how much i cared for you before you died.

[mazHur]

Come , my love, hurry

How can i write a love poem
when my love is far and away
With no sleep in the eyes
how can I dream with open eyes
Come, my love, on an early flight
I have cooked lobsters for you
with oyster and thousand isle sauces
the meal is spread on the table
all is ready except for you
come, my sweet heart, rush
before the dinner becomes stale
and I get tired of stoking air
in the yet warm fire place
come, my darling, come
waiting is becoming unbearable
the heart is thumping like a drum
if you wont come by the first flight
no night will be as terrible as this night
love is impatient and trying
only you and you can pacify it

I remember this one. The love poems of fanciful and brief moments are often the best.

I like this, Mazhur. For some reason it reminded me of This Flight Tonight by Joni Mitchell

[mazHur]

thank you, fire
atleast you honored my table
with your presence
the one I waited for
missed her flight
and couldn't make up
for my treat
now you and me
will dine together
have a little chat
listen to some music
dance, I am not sure
then suddenly you will look
at your watch
and depart
saying 'good night'
and the next thing
that could be seen on U-tube
shall be me
cleaning the dishes !

There were never oceans, they say,
and I believe them, here in my ship,
giving you shade with its bow, the way

I seek the summer trees at noon and slip
into a small dream where sunbeams play
among the leaves. When it rains they drip

like some strange clock with a different time
than the waves of seconds falling on the world.
I seek neither deception, nor perfect rhyme.

I have the memory of our morning bodies curled
in reflection, our bed drifting in a sleepy present.
Such a splendid sea, our dream sails furled…

Moments are, when the heart has its quarter crescent,
but when all fails you and the rhymes of the sky
strain to meet, do not be deceived by darkness.
It is only your shadow as you move into my waiting arms.

very nice imagery
progressively rhyming the last stanza could have added to the beauty of the poem

Beautiful!

That certain spot
to the left of your left breast...
The way you’d regress
to the manner
of a sexually precocious girl,
the way you turned off the bedside lamp
the first time you undressed for me
and let me turn it on again.

The time I first entered you,
too soon,
but no matter when
it would have been too soon
and never soon enough...

I have posted this before but it is how I have always felt.

Dan

This life that you’ve given me
without selfishness and
with great thought
is what I waited for
I give you
my soul within yours
safe from all that would harm me.
My heart within yours
shielded from all danger
by your strong love
my love for you to hold forever
And after I go I will watch over you
till you arrive
I will be waiting to see
you smile when you see me
That special smile you have
for only me.

Oops! sorry Mazhur, that's what I get for doing this at 3 AM. I must have hit the wrong button for mine after commenting on yours.

[mazHur]

never mind, it happens with everyone
keep up the good work !
chow!

Hi Prince

thanks.

the sun shines
equally over all things
all things take the warmth of
sunbeams unlike the sunflower
which in its innocence
turns its face towards the sun
wherever it goes
high or low
perhaps it feels
it hasn't yet found
the perfect G-spot !
