Now autumn’s here, winter’s not far away. Already you’ve attained three score and ten. We notice now the shortening of the day, Our spring and summer gone, won’t come again. Although our love is young, we’re growing old So savour mellow fruitfulness a while. Let’s glory in the autumn and be bold, We’ll laugh and [...]
I wanted a mansion once… that is until I met you, Now the only place I want to live is inside your heart I once desired diamonds… until I met you, Now the only sparkle I need comes from within I used to crave the finest clothing… until I met you, Now I want not [...]
You are forever loved though this life fades away and all mortal bodies decay. You will forever be my beloved, my imortal betrothed, my enduring flame, my guiding light, my compass rose. – Thomas Earl Hopson Jr. – source from: lovepoemsandquotes
Soft gentle stare Warm tender touch You took my hand And we danced Arms around me Light dragging moves Cheek warm against mine Breathing deep from the soul Long have I searched Finally I have found When you took my hand And we danced – Gladys Huraño – source from: lovepoemsandquotes
I close my eyes, and there you are; you dazzle me, from near and far; your silhouette – it strikes me too; no other like it, uniquely you; all perfect curves, from head to toe; from hips to calves, from eyes to nose; both inside and outside, your brilliance flows; I crave your kiss, my [...]
My love, I have tried with all my being to grasp a form comparable to thine own, but nothing seems worthy; I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summer’s day. It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee, to simply cast away the [...]
I don’t think you will ever fully understand how you’ve touched my life and made me who I am. I don’t think you could ever know just how truly special you are that even on the darkest nights you are my brightest star. I don’t think you will ever fully comprehend how you’ve made my [...]
Take my hand this way we’ll go, Said the man above, I’ll take you to a place of joy, Where you will find true love, If you let go, go on your own, But mistakes you will make, For many other ways there are, Which you are sure to take, When you feel that you [...]
Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I am not content with myself I am thinking about a comment that was made by someone else I stopped for a moment and said to myself I can change that although it was just a person’s opinion and not a proven fact I took care of the [...]
Distant lover across the fiber optic waves how eloquently your words validated my existence when we first met I didn’t understand you you and your abbreviated descriptions that were hard to decipher like pharmaceutical prescriptions written by foreign physicians made possible by mathematical encryptions your exquisite diction soothed my soul like tea by Lipton I [...]
I know well I have no right to love you: I gave you up, and now you’re with my friend. But I can’t stop myself from thinking of you, Even though that’s not what I intend. I want you but I also don’t want you To hurt my friend by breaking up with her. So [...]
Let’s go out and have some fun. It doesn’t matter where or when, Or what we say or what we do, As long as it’s just me and you. Let’s be together for a while And get to know each other well, Exchanging jokes and tales and chatter Before we get to things that matter. [...]
A teenage girl’s first crush is . . . well, crushing. Her body isn’t hers, nor is her mind. She finds herself shivering, shaking, blushing, Weak, tormented, sick, and going blind. And why? Because some guy might look her way, Then cast his eyes as quickly to the ground; Some special one, for reasons she [...]
BREDON HILL In summertime on Bredon The bells they sound so clear; Round both the shires the ring them In steeples far and near, A happy noise to hear. Here of a Sunday morning My love and I would lie, And see the coloured counties, And hear the larks so high About us in the [...]
Young Ben he was a nice young man, A carpenter by trade; And he fell in love with Sally Brown, That was a lady’s maid. But as they fetch’d a walk one day, They met a press-gang crew; And Sally she did faint away, Whilst Ben he was brought to. The Boatswain swore with wicked [...]
Contentment “Man wants but little here below” Little I ask; my wants are few; I only wish a hut of stone, (A very plain brown stone will do,) That I may call my own; And close at hand is such a one, In yonder street that fronts the sun. Plain food is quite enough for [...]
If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh: “Thou suffering thing, Know that thy sorrow is my ecstasy, That thy love’s loss is my hate’s profiting!” Then would I bear it, clench myself, and die, Steeled by the sense of ire unmerited; Half-eased in that a Powerfuller than [...]
Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard The Curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o’er the lea, The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me. Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save [...]
A song of Enchantment I sang me there, In a green-green wood, by waters fair, Just as the words came up to me I sang it under the wild wood tree. Widdershins turned I, singing it low, Watching the wild birds come and go; No cloud in the deep dark blue to be seen Under [...]
(It is supposed that Shadow-of-a-Leaf uses the word ‘clear’ in a more ancient sense of ‘beautiful.’) As along a dark pine-bough, in slender white mystery The moon lay to listen, above the thick fern, In a deep dreaming wood that is older than history I heard a lad sing, and I stilled me to learn; [...]
