just because

Like golden honey you're so sweet,

I hate to leave and love to meet.

You're my precious, but I'm no Hobbit,

This rhyme's not bad but I should stop it :)

my favourite quote of the moment.

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."

- Pablo Neruda, excerpt from "Sonnet XVII"

if you're happy and you know it, write a poem

I love you whether you're near or far.

It doesn't matter where you are.

I love you more than life itself.

Your happiness is my greatest wealth.

Now my eyes are heavy with sleep,

I'm imagining your warm embrace...

While I kiss you full and deep,

My fingers stroking your handsome face. X

it's the thought that counts

Just lying in bed thinking what to say,

But nothing comes to mind.

I still force myself to write,

'Cause one day I will get it right,

And make you smile.

Don't bother looking for the rhyme,

As it's only random text you will find.

Try to look for the meaning in between,

And you will see that love is what I mean. :)

a midnight response

Finally falling into bed...

Your poem made me smile.

You're definitely improving,

It was your longest by a mile.

You want me to both rest and dance...

To multi-task in sleep, perchance?

Like Robin for Maid Marion fair,

Let my arrow fly so straight and true,

That my kisses fall into your hair,

And you hear me whisper,

"I love you." X

an alternative

Tonight I would write an epic email,

Had the wireless card not failed.

I'm left with the choice of a text,

For the chance to make you smile next.

And although it's coming out pretty shitty,

Not to continue would just be a pitty*.

Rest,

Sleep well,

'Cause tomorrow is a new day.

And it's going to be great.

Because I said so.

And sometimes...

Just sometimes, I'm right.

So come and meet me in my dreams,

And we will dance the night away. X X X

*Editor's note: I thought this spelling mistake was too cute to correct :)

Meu Amor...*

No eyes to see your handsome face;
No ears to hear your calming voice;
No hands to brush your soft cheek.

My heart is denied so many pleasures...
But still it loves you
More and more each day.

---

I will come and meet you tonight.

We will dance the night away. x x x

And then I dreamt about salsa class.

haunting and precious.

a little bedtime ditty

Don't want to wake you up,

But you're running through my head.

I'd prefer it if you walked,

So that I can go to bed... X

---

Ok. Taking it slow now. I will behave. ;)

See you in my dreams. x x x

‎"I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put down in words, how wonderful life is, now you're in world..." ♥

it's all you need.

Who knew that I could love so much
Your scent, your smile, your lips, your touch?

I've never been the steady kind
Where the heart came into play
But I know for sure, as you do too
This love is here to stay.

Fly with me, like lovers do
Into the night, so dark and blue
Let's dance amongst the stars tonight
Until the break of morning light.

thanks :)

You kiss my cheek, you make me smile,
So of course I want to stay awhile.
Forever and two days it's true,
That's how long I'll be loving you.
To look into your eyes each day,
Is a pleasure greater than I can say...*

he knows how to cheer me up

Last time, when I was feeling down,

I thought of you... and that brought me back around.

I truly hope that all your worries you dismiss,

With my promise of an early morning kiss.

her:

So despite all my annoying ways,
You'll still grace me with your gaze?
I have to say that's good to know,
And in return I love you so!
Now off to bed until the morning...
Remember the jersey, final warning!

him:

All the fun for the light in my sun.

Though the rhyme is lame,

You can blame it on my name.

For my love is strong,

And I know that nothing can make it wrong.

from she to he

I imagine your face and I smile.

I imagine your smile and I laugh.

I imagine your laugh and I'm happy.

Don't be blue, because I love you too.

MTW...*

from he to me

I look at the couch and it looks lost.

I look at the table and it's lonely.

I get into bed and it feels empty.

You are not here, so nothing feels true.

I love you.

4E&2D

something good... *

Perhaps I had a wicked childhood...
Perhaps I had a miserable youth...
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past,
There must have been a moment of truth.

For here you are, standing there, loving me,
Whether or not you should...

So somewhere in my youth or childhood,
I must have done something good.

Nothing comes from nothing;
Nothing ever could...
So, somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.

For here you are, standing there, loving me

Whether or not you should...

So somewhere in my youth or childhood,

I must have done something good.

Nothing comes from nothing;

nothing ever could...

So, somewhere in my youth...

...or childhood...

I must have done something...

Something...

Good...

yes, this is love.

I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night.
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed.
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread.

Is this love, is this love, is this love,
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love,
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now!
I got to know, got to know, got to know now!

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
I wanna love you- I wanna love and treat, love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We'll be together, yeah! - with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh yeah! - of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provides the bread.

Is this love, is this love, is this love,
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love,
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Wo-o-o-oah! Oh yes, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know now!
Oh yes, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know now!

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I - I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!
See- I wanna love ya, I wanna love and treat ya,
Love and treat ya right.
I wanna love you every day and every night.
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed.
We'll share the same room, yeah! Jah provides the bread.
We'll share the shelter of my single bed.

- Bob Marley, "Is This Love"

before thirty

You know I dreamed about you

for twenty-nine years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for

for twenty-nine years
