A Collection of Love Poems

My Everything

My love, my life, my need, my safety.

The air I breathe and all that I need daily.

You are my light, my dark, my stars in the sky.

My ups and my downs, my reasons I try.

My weakness, my strength, my love from the start.

With every beating of my heart.

That I hold so tight in my soul.

You are my joy of which I will never not let go.

You are my happiness.

You are my joy that I hold so dear.

You are my everything!

Nothing Greater Than Love

I will never forget the feelings felt deep in my heart

as each day passes from the start.

Built in a way I once knew nothing about

but learned as I was with you.

Love is so much more than a four letter word.

When you feel it, it becomes so very real.

I am aware it will change me, embrace me and grow me.

Those new feelings come from you.

The love we share makes this complicated life worth it.

Hoping it will never change.

I did not trust people until I met you.

Questions were answered. Concerns went away.

Doubt stopped existing. All feelings became real.

Trust took over in a way that made me feel safe.

I could be myself and not pretend to be anyone else.

The relief and happiness warms my soul.

Knowing that there is nothing better in this world.

Then your love for me. Thank you for your love.

That 4 letter word changed my soul!

There is nothing greater or worth having.

Your Beautiful Eyes

It is not what you say or what you do.

It is not the meals you cook for me.

Hugs and kisses are ok but it is that

smile on that handsome face.

Those bright eyes that fill me with happiness

The smile when you look at me.

It brings so much happiness to my heart.

Never to be torn apart.

For all the things you do for me and all the love you give

I will always know what you feel is very real.

You can pretend and say it is nothing at all

When you blink and those big beautiful brown eyes light up,

I already know and they will continue to say it all.

I can see they are filled with the love you hold in your heart

That is the second most special thing about you. Your Eyes!!

I see the love you hold deep in your heart.

I Want You. Nobody Else.

Words not spoken and derived from the soul

built in the heart not letting go.

Made capable in the mind from purity and love

leaving a desire only the eyes can see and the hands want to touch.

Joy, happiness, and charm are feelings felt that are real.

Protected by silence and known only to me sitting deep in my core.

Held onto each minute of each day with an open mind

creating what was never known before.

The depth of those feelings begin to set in

leading to the notion that I want only you.

Her Big Smile

Oh so special I like what I see.

Look at that face, it is as beautiful as can be.

The way she stares and that way she glares.

That glorious smile that she shares.

She looks and looks without ever saying a word.

Her smile gives her away without a glare.

Showing her feelings for sure.

You can tell with every smirk and glaze.

That you are cooked and all shook up.

She always gives the biggest hugs.

There is more to come so just hold on.

Those great big eyes and her gorgeous smile

Carry her super powers.

Keep watching and become aware.

She likes to pretend that her glance is not just a stare.

Trying to hide how much she really cares.

At you with that glare in her eyes.

That is her way of showing the feelings she is sharing.

Never saying a word is what she is known for.

Sharing that precious smile opens all the doors.

It sits in the compass of her soul.

The immense love and joy and trust she holds.

All contained in that big smile. That is her style!

Cuddle Me Deeply

Wave your hands and put your fingers in the air.

Then wrap those hands around my hair.

Snuggle me with a tight hug

As you hold me on our comfortable rug.

Kiss me when the sun shines.

Deeply in the bright sky.

Hold me close when the sun goes down so I cannot cry.

Cuddle me firmly when the night time light goes off again.

When the sun rises, hold me tight and wrap me in those arms

Sharing the shine from the sun that stares in my eyes.

Forever Found

Wherever you go, whatever you do,

you will not be alone.

I will be hiding deep within your heart

as you are in mine.

Held deep in your soul and held deep in your mind.

I will see you and I will feel you.

I am forever with you as you are with me.

When your life is over we will be together again.

Until that time, please know I will be there watching you.

You will see me and hear me because our love is not lost.

It is forever found.

When you come back to me, I will be waiting for you.

To hug that body and kiss those lips!!

Love Me, Kiss me Please

What wouldn’t I do for love?

Hold me deep inside your fortress of unbreakable muscle.

Growing stranger with every breath.

Don’t let go. Hold tight. Kiss me, please.

To be kissed is an elusion of love and desire.

Pressed together holding on to eternity.

Don’t move, please press harder.

Feel the passion wrapped up in his body.

Burning into him and forever in my body too.

With our bodies layered into each other

Never taken apart or separated.

Love me.

Be my breath in the heat or night.

Never leaving my mind.

He is the blood running through my veins.

He is the breath I breathe.

Be my whole life. Let me be yours.

“it is what it is”

a thing, a thought, an action?
an untruth, broken promise, or excuse?
a reason to quit, to transmit, or submit?
to deflect, a defect, or infect?
an insecurity, from instability, with inability?
a right, a wrong, or the other?
because you can’t, you won’t, so you don’t?
all black, white or grey?

you say it without saying it.
you play it without playing it.
you surrender to it without pause.
the circumstances leave you, without cause.
it is yours to speak.
like a slap across my cheek.
so you can be the good guy.
no matter how little you try.

these empty words
carry the weight
of indifference, dismission
and of hate
so be careful to consider
the stain left on my heart
when these five toxic words
from your lips do part.

“Hide and Seek”

A sinister visitor unknown to doctors  

Lying dormant inside of her insides,

A parasite gaining nourishment from her body

Dividing and infiltrating cell after cell

Playing its own game of hide and seek.

Wreaking havoc and crippling pain

The mutation sails through her blood

Dictating how she will live her life

Denying what was once promised her, 

Stealing the best years of her remaining life.

Metastasized. Metastasized.

Feeding off her organs as if at a buffet

Sampling from this one and that

Stuffing its nameless face

with all that it can consume.

Accepting eradication is impossible

Radiation and chemotherapy

Are but a mere slumber to the beast

Simply slowing down its destruction

With no plans to vacate the premises.

Hope is but a fool’s illusion 

Wasting time that can’t be turned back

Spending energy that is lost forever

Fighting what you cannot win,

Wishing for just a little more time.

“Alone”

The woods are eerily still along the winding driveway as my headlights catch glimpses of the hidden secrets of the darkness, careful not to reveal their shadows. The only sound is the gravel crackling and echoing under my wheels as I ease into the garage. The house sits peacefully covered in a layer of dewy silence under the night sky, nestled in the darkness of the woods. The inside remains still and untouched, just as we left it. I am reminded of how long it’s been since I’ve been here, since we’ve been here.

My eyes cannot see through the darkness of the backyard out the bay window; walking the grounds will have to wait until day break. The drive was long, and I am tired. I stir the house awake by lighting a fire and it wastes no time spitting and screaming at me, as the orange glow of the flames sets my skin ablaze. It is the most perfect kind of warmth matched only by being wrapped up in your arms.

Drifting off to sleep and wrapped up in the warmth of the fire, my mind carries me to you like a delicate leaf caught up in the autumn wind and gently places me on the memory of the last time we were together. I cannot stop myself, maybe the morning will be better.

The birds singing their morning song from high atop the waving oak trees has replaced my alarm clock. Upon waking, I am reminded how much I love the sounds of nature. Your side of the bed sits cold and untouched. I dreamed you’d come.

It is cold here today, just like you like it. I loaded the wood burning stove with three large pieces of wood placed in a triangle just as you showed me all those years ago, before heading out back to check the grounds. The pine trees are over twenty feet tall and have filled out nicely. I was able to gather a collection of their discarded pine cones that I will use for holiday decorations this year, maybe. It is beautiful and peaceful up here this time of year with the leaves changing colors and I wish you were here.

While sipping my coffee on the deck today, the tall oaks seemed to cautiously wave at me, careful not to disturb because they know what I know…I’m alone.
