Love Poems

by W.H.Auden

I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you Till China and Africa meet

And the river jumps over the mountain And the salmon sings in the street.

I’ll love you till the ocean 

Is folded and hung up to dry

And the seven stars go squawking Like geese about in the sky.

She is not fair by H. Coleridge, 1829

She is not fair to outward view,

As many maidens be;

Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me. Oh, then I saw her eye was bright, A well of love, a spring of light.

But now her looks are coy and cold – 

To mine they ne’er reply;

And yet I cease not to behold 

The love light in her eye Her very frowns are sweeter far Than smiles of other maidens are.

♥♥♥

Today is yours

Don’t wait till tomorrow to reach out and grow,

To learn something interesting you didn’t know

Don’t wait till tomorrow to find ways to share,

To make a new friend, really show that you care. Don’t wait till tomorrow to follow your heart, To savor the beauty that life can impart.

Don’t wait till tomorrow

To let yourself start…

Take time to do it today!

 

♥♥♥

Friends I have some friends I love! I share my games and share my toys With all the girls and all the boys.

I have some friends I love!

We always have a lot of fun

From early morn to set of sun. I have some friends I love!

A Joke

They walked in the lane together,

The sky was covered with stars,

They reached the gate in silence, He lifted down the bars.

She neither smiled nor thanked him

Because she knew not how;

For he was just a farmer’s boy And she the farmer’s cow.

♥♥♥               

Let me call you…

Let me call you sweetheart, I’m in love with you.

Let me hear your whisper That you love me, too! Keep your love light glowing In your eyes so true. Let me call you sweetheart I’m in love with you.

♥♥♥

Love was as subtly catched as a disease;

But being got it is a treasure sweet, Which to defend is harder then to get: And ought not to be prophaned on either part;

For though ‘tis got by chance, ‘tis kept by art.

                                     John Donne

♥♥♥

Love comes …

… Under the summer roses When the fragrant crimson hurks  in the dusk of the wild red leaves,

Love with little hands 

Comes and touches you

With a thousand memories and asks you Beautiful, unanswerable question.

                        Carl Sandburg

♥♥♥ 

Love is anterior to life,

Posterior to death,

Initial of creation,

And the exponent of breath.

                          Emily Dickinson

This is a simply story –  One day I was going to die;

But instead of that

I wrapped up my heart with green paper,

I don’t know why!

And I tied it up with a string in spring,

And I throw it far away – 

There, where is a sea,

The your sea, you see –

It’s floating to you, they say!

                            Robert Frost

♥♥♥

… Give all to love; Obey your heart;

Friends, kindred, days,

Estate, good fame,

Plans, credit and the Muse –  Nothing refuse. Tis a brave master; Let it have scope:

Follow it utterly,

Hope beyond hope:

High and more high

It dives into noon, 

With wing unspent,

Untold intent;

But it is a God,

Knows his own path,

And the outlets of the sky…

                       R.W. Emerson

♥♥♥

Give a man a girl he can love,

As I, O my love, love thee,

And his heart is great with the pulse of Fate At home, on land, on sea.

                                         James Thomson

♥♥♥ ♥♥♥

I loved you once. My love for you, it may be,

Within this heart of mine is still aglow; 

But let it not concern you any longer; I would not have it pain you anymore.

I loved you once – so hopelessly, in silence. By shyness now, then jealousy beset. 

My love for you has been so true, so tender, As God may grant, another’s may prove yet.  

♥♥♥

Life Is Fate What for we live? What for we die?  Why can we dream, but cannot fly?

Sometimes we’re happy and we smile,

Sometimes we’re sad, we scream and cry. What for we love? What for we hate? 

I cannot answer! Life is fate!

Golden hair

Lean out of the window,

Golden hair,

I heard you singing A merry air.

My book is closed;

I read no more,

Watching the fire dance On the floor.

I have left my book,

I have left my room,

For I heard you singing Through the gloom.

Singing and singing A merry air.

Lean out of the window,

Golden hair

♥♥♥

Quiet Girl

I would liken you To a night without stars

Were it not for your eyes.

I would liken you

To a sleep without dreams Were it not for your songs.

♥♥♥

When we two parted

In silence and tears,

Half broken-hearted

To sever for years,

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

Colder thy kiss;

Truly that hour foretold Sorrow to this.

The Dew of the morning

Sunk chill on my brow – It felt like the warning Of what I feel now. Thy vows are all broken, And light is thy fame: I hear thy name spoken, And share in its shame.

Thy name thee before me, A knell to mine ear;

A shudder comes o’er me –  Why wert thou so dear?

 

 

They know not I knew thee,

Who knew thee too well: – 

Long, long shall I rue thee, Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met –

In silence I grieve,

That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee

After long years,

How shall I greet thee? –  With silence and tears.

♥♥♥

A Red, Red Rose

O my Luve is like a red, red rose,

That’s newly sprung in June: O my Luve is like the melodie

That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still, my Dear,

Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my Dear,

And the rocks melt wi’ the sun; And I will luve thee still, my Dear,

While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only Luve, And fare thee weel a while! And I will come again, my Luve,

Tho’ it were ten thousand mile! 

                                    Robert Burns

My True Love

On Monday, Monday,

My True Love said to me,

“I’ve brought you this nice pumpkin;

I picked it off the tree!” 

On Tuesday, Tuesday,

My True Love said to me,

“Look I’ve brought you sand tarts;

I got them by the sea.”

On Wednesday, Wednesday,  My True Love said to me,

“I’ve caught you this white polar bear;

It came from Tennessee”

On Thursday, Thursday,

My True Love said to me,

“This singing yellow butterfly

I’ve all for you, from me.” On Friday, Friday.

My True Love said to me,

 

 

“Here’s a long-tailed guinea-pig; It’s frisky as can be.”

On Saturday, Saturday,

To my True Love I said,

“You have not told me  one true thing,

So you I’ll never wed”

♥♥♥

I Love You More Than Applesauce

I love you more than applesauce,

Than peaches and a plum,

Than chocolate hearts,

And cherry tarts, And berry bubble-gum.

I love you more than lemonade,

And seven-layer cake,

Than candy drops, And thick vanilla shake.

I love you more than marzipan,

Than marmalade on toast;

For I love pies

Of any size, But I love you the most!

                       Jack Prelutsky

Love blows as the wind blows.

Blows!... in the quiet close

As in the roaring mart,

By ways no mortal knows Love blows into the heart. The stars cadence use.

Forthright the river flows,

In order fall the dews,

Love blows as the wind blows;

Blows!... and what reckoning shows The courses of his chart? A spirit that comes and goes,  Love blows into the heart.

                     William Ernest Henley

♥♥♥

If thou must love me, let it be for nought

Except for love’s sake only. Do not say,

I love her for her smile… her look… her way

Of speaking gently… for a trick of thought

That falls in well with mine, and, certes, brought

A sense of pleasant ease on such a day – 

For these things in themselves, Beloved, may

Be changed, or change for thee – and love so wrought, May be unwrought so.

                                             Elizabeth Barret Browning

My Love        by Tasha Shores

My love is like an ocean

It goes down so deep

My love is like a rose Whose beauty you want to keep.

My love is like a river

That will never end My love is like a dove With a beautiful message to send.

My love is like a song

That goes on and on forever

My love is like a prisoner It's to you that I surrender.

♥♥♥

Beautiful eyes, beautiful face Beautiful eyes, beautiful face, I'm shy to talk to you. You're the eagle I must watch No matter what I do.

You're the beauty, wild and free,

The mistress of my eyes,

Rolling through exultant air, Alone in pristine skies.

I would take you for my own

Could I but have your wings,

Could I but go where night begins And frozen sunlight sings.

Could I but have you for my love, How might we fly together! But I must watch you from below And long for you forever. But I must be the one below And long for you forever.

Friendship Through the Years by Emily, 2008

You helped me laugh,

You dried my tears, Because of you  I have no fears.

Together we live,

Together we grow,

Teaching each other  What we must know. You came in my life 

And I was blessed

I love you, friend, You are the best! Release my hand 

And say good-bye Please, my dear, Don't you cry.

 

 

I promise you this,

 It's not the end

“Cause like I said,  you're my friend!”

To my Friend by Lisa Asmo, 2016

You're a very special person.

I'm glad that you're my friend, For when I need a piece of advice, You always have something to lend.

I can always tell you my feelings Without having you put me down. You're the person I can turn to When no one else is around. I can cry on your friendly shoulder When things are going wrong.

I know you’ll give me a smile

And help me again to be strong.

You seem to understand me. After all, that we've gone through, I only have one thing to say... Thanks for being YOU!

True Friends by Emily, 2011

Best friends stick together  till the life’s end.

They are like a straight line that will never bend.

They can be your hero  and save the day.

 

 

They will never leave you,  they are here to stay.

They’ll help you up  even when you fall.

Because true friends  are the best of all.

What Real Friends Are for?

by Emily D. Luna A friend is not just someone  who hangs out well with you.

A real friend is someone  who cares every day of you A real friend is someone  who can you tell the truth. A real friend is someone  who can’t make you feel blues. A real friend is someone  who leaves you open door.

That's what the real friends  are always living for.

♥♥♥

A friend is like a Star  by Ashley Campbell, 2012

A friend is like a star  that twinkles and glows

Or maybe like the ocean 

that always gently flows. A friend is like the gold  that we should treasure And take care of them  every day with pleasure. A friend is like an angel that there is to guide you. A friend is like the Sun  That can warm fast you.

A friend is more than one in a million.

Or maybe, one in a ca-zillion,

So you, my friend, are very special Despite that sounds it official.

♥♥♥

You're Always There for Me by Crysta M. Davis, 2007 You're always there  when I need a hand,

Pushing me, helping me.

You're always there  when I need a shoulder To cry on, to lie on. You're always there  when I need to talk,

At sunrise, at sunset. You will never know  what you mean to me.

We will never know  how our friendship became so deep.

They will never know  all the secrets that we keep.

Our friendship will always be

Because you're my best friend. You're always there for me!

♥♥♥
