lOVE POEMS

WORDS OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP

Most of these poems and writings on love and friendship were compiled by me from the Internet and some of them were sent to me by my friends. I am sorry for I was not able to get the names of the authors of most of the poems. I was inspired by my friend Kinley who likes collecting love poems to add this page to my homepage.

You can click on one of the titles to read one. And if you like it, why don't you send it to your special someone?

Painful Love
Watching you from across the room
sends searing pain through my heart.
I think back to a year ago,
when I thought we'd never part.
My love for you just won't die down -
it just grows with each new day.
I wish you'd dare to look at me
and hear what I have to say;
"I love you and I want you back - "
but these words you just won't hear.
You don't seem to remember them -
all the memories I hold dear.
You were my first kiss, my first love
and now you don't even care.
How could you just blow it away?
We were the perfect pair.
you seem content to let me go -
You're doing fine as you are,
while I'm still missing how we were.
We had the best love by far.

To the truest friend
Time seems to fly so quickly
That we may not often say
The sentimental, loving things
We feel from day to day
But a special time like this
Is a perfect chance to show that
You're thought of with affection
Much more often than you know

For all the times you listened
while I rambled on and on...
For the comfort that you gave me
when my days were cold and long...

For the sunshine of your smile
with its brilliance warm and true...
For the wisdom of your words
when I didn't have a clue...

For standing tall beside me,
proud to be my friend...
For assembling my pieces
when I needed help to mend...

For sharing in my laughter
when the good times rolled around...
For the solace of your silence
when I fell and hit the ground....

For all these things and so much more
these words I give to you...
Of all the friends in all the world
the truest one is you

In a dream ....
In a dream,
I saw your face.
You smiled at me
and held out your hand.
I felt a spark
inside my heart
when you said
that you love me.

As I stood beneath
that sky of blue,
I drifted weightless
like the clouds,
and all because
you had said,
three simple words:
"I love you."

I closed my eyes,
knees frail and weak.
I opened my mouth,
but couldn't speak.
I took your hand
and smiled at you,
and the look in my eyes,
said, "I love you too!"

BACK TO INDEX
I can't live without you
I can't live without you.
I would breathe the air,
and my heart would beat,
but I would not feel the joy of life.
My dreams would be lost
like a leaf carted away by a storm.
I would gaze at the stars
without appreciating the
way they light up the sky.
I would pass the roses in bloom
without noticing their beauty.
I would no longer look forward
to each sunset and each dawn.
I would be broken,
never to be mended again.
Winter would own my heart;
its icy breath would steal
the warmth in my soul,
because I could not smile
without your love.
I could not know laughter
or happiness.
If you were lost to me,
I'd have no reason to try,
no reason to be.
You are my prayer,
my shelter from
hopelessness and despair,
my sunshine, my light,
my lazy days,
my peaceful nights,
and only you can keep the
spark in my soul burning bright.

It is Love ...
It's Love...

You know it's love,
when nothing feels better
than being together.
You know it's love
when holding hands
turns gray skies
to blue.

You know it's love
when each day spent together
holds all of the excitement
of the approaching spring.
You know it's love
when a single kiss
makes you see beauty
in everything around you.

What I feel for you is love.

BACK TO INDEX
Flower of My Life...
I love to wrap you in my arms
and draw strength from your light.
Your love is a refuge that
soothes my soul
when I close my eyes each night,
and lends me the power
to face the day,
when dawn sheds its golden light.
I've been through a lot
and sometimes I felt
as if I'd lost my way,
but when I met you,
I found renewed hope,
and life has gotten
better every day.
And I vow that this
heart will never stray;
You're the flower of my life,
and our love will
never fade away.

BACK TO INDEX
To you.....
To You...

I give my heart,
my affection,
my devotion,
and adoration
to you.
People say that nothing
lasts forever,
but they're wrong.
Some things are meant
to be,
and I know that
this love
I feel for you will
burn in my soul
for the rest of my life.
I was born to be
with you.
You are my real love,
you are my one and only,
and I give all of my love
to you.

Love's Philosophy
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

Love's Philosophy by Percy Shelley (1792-1822)

The beauty of a woman
The beauty of a woman
is not the clothes she wears,
the figure she carries
or the way she
styles her hair.

The beauty of a woman
must be seen in her
eyes, the doorway
to her heart.

The beauty of a woman
is reflected in her soul,
the care she
lovingly gives, the
passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman,
with passing years,
only grows.

A LOVER'S LAMENT
They look down on me with disdain,
They think me unable to love.
But mine for you will never wane,
As does the moon above;
I've got to escape despair
Caus'd by my longing for thee
And my feelings still to bare.
But why can't it be?

Thy sweet smile can't be forgotten
Nor can thy loyal looking eyes.
By my tears the ground's now sodden
And there my pride now lies;
Here I stand in full disgrace
Waiting for you to free me
By a warmhearted embrace.
But why can't it be?

BACK TO INDEX
HEAVEN
When I saw thee sail away,
And with the other dinghies mingle;
When I saw thy face so gay
Between every boat though single,
I thought heaven . . .

While waiting for thy return,
And imagining thee being near;
While observing thy boat turn
And hoping thee coming back down here,
I thought heaven . . .

Even though I felt alone,
And do know that thou dost not love me;
Even though thy boat was gone
And my heart so empty without thee,
I thought heaven . . .

For thy face being tender,
And thine eyes spreading warmth and brightness;
For thou being a wonder
The only one by far the greatest,
I thought heaven must be you.

TO ROMEO
This beauteous woman,
Who made me break my sermon
Through her appearance,
Has thrown love out of its lane.
Why ain't Romeo my name?

This heavenly girl,
Who broke into my world
Through her eyes so pure,
Has made me believe in fame.
Why ain't Romeo my name?

This Venus of mine,
Who took my love so divine
Through her inf'nite mind,
Has replac'd my life's old frame.
Why ain't Romeo my name?

O Romeo, who has shown to mankind
That love is much stronger than death,
Please tell me now how you did find
The true loving love in this world's mess.
O Romeo, who defeated Montague & Capulet,
Please tell me now how to love a Juliet.

BACK TO INDEX
You're the world to me--
You're the world to me--
there's no one quite like you.
You're the one I love,
the one I want to touch.
I give you my heart,
and I need you so much.
Offer me your sweet caresses;
fill me with your wonderful light;
soothe my aching heart;
and hold me through the night.
The mere sound of your voice
summons deep emotion within
Like an old familiar song
like the comfort of a friend.
When you're near,
I'm lost to thoughts of love
as you touch me with a magic
that's as grand as stars above.
I want to hold your hand.
I hunger for your kiss.
Offer me sweet tidings
of true love's tender bliss.
I promise our love shall soar,
carried on the wings of a dove.
So give me your heart,
and bless me with your love.

Today is a gift
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have! Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!!

Smile
A smile cost nothing, but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive it,
without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment, but the memory
of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he
can get along without it,
and none is so poor but that
he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home,
fosters goodwill in business,
and is the countersign of friendship.

It brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,
and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,
or stolen, for it is something that is of no
value to anyone until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile
so much as he who has no more to give.

The Miracle Of Love
Love is like miracle
And it always will be
For love still remains
life's sweet mystery
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change

Love can transform
The most common place
Into beauty and splendor
and sweetness and grace

Love is unselfish
Understanding and kind
For it sees with it's heart
And not with it's mind

Love gives and forgives
There is nothing too much
For Love to heal
With it's miracle touch

Love is the language
That every heart speaks
For the love is the one thing
That every heart seeks

My Special Friends
Sometimes I sit and wonder
what's important in my life...
When heaviness surrounds me
and my days are filled with strife.
I find the days grow shorter
with every passing year...
I think of things I should have done
and it all becomes quite clear.

I should have spent more time
with the people that I love.
I should have done more praying
to our Father up above.
I should have been more frugal
with the money that I've spent.
I should have been much kinder
with the words I never meant.

There is a lot I should have done
if I could start anew...
But the should haves are much easier
with Special Friends like you.
You always build me up

with your bright and cheery smile...
and when I need to talk,
you go that extra mile.

You help me lift my head
when I feel so down and low.
And when you say you love me,

my heart just seems to glow.
I want to say I thank you
for always being there
and tell you what it means to me
to know that someone cares.

So when I sit and wonder
what's important in my life,

I find it's not the should haves
or the anguish and the strife.
It's the little things you do
in such a great big way...
that makes me very thankful
and I just have to say...
~~ "You're Special, my dear friend,
God sent you from above...
and there's nothing that's more precious
than your friendship and your love" ~~

The Journey Of The Heart
The journey of the heart is one
that is paved with joy and with tears...

One that is filled with hope and love
but also uncertainty and fears...

As we climb to the summit, the world
in our heart changes, it seems...

In each twist and turn of the road,
we see a worn path of dreams...

Others have walked it
and left landmarks of their own...

Secrets of the heart are hidden
under the shadow of each stone...

Where our hearts lead us down
this old path and what is shown...

Remains to be seen ...
the seeds are not yet all sown...

But the seeds that are there
will blossom and grow...

Perhaps we will see a flower
whose blooms we will know...

They will always remain on the path
for others to see...

Where the flowers keep blooming
no matter where they may be...

Never forget that on this path
you are never alone...

I will walk with you and we will
discover other paths unknown...

The summit is high and the road
stretches on through eternity...

Just bring with you
your heart and a song and walk with me...

Real Friends
Friends make dreams come true
They are the pot of gold
At the rainbows end
Their smiles are the sunshine
Brightening darkness and send
Troubles on their way
Friends are the flowers
Whispering sweet fragrances as they sway
Friends are the joy that fill your soul
With memories and happiness
To lighten your load.
You are all this to me,
My friend
My world!

Hello My Friend
There is no particular reason for this letter.
No forgotten birthday or anniversary.
It's just me sitting here, quietly
thinking about the important things
in my life and I thought of you...

And I wanted you to know,
that you are important to me.
My life, without you in it,
would be markedly different.

The sun wouldn't shine as brightly,
the flowers wouldn't smell as sweet,
the days wouldn't be as warm,
the nights would be oh so much longer
and my smile would not beam as frequently.

...Sometimes I may gush,
sometimes I may mush...

But I want you to always know
how much I care
and how thankful I am,
that you are part of my day.

"A friend is one who does not seek the weakness of another,
but who lends their strength and by their presence makes both stronger"

BACK TO INDEX
My Wish For You
I wish for you...
comfort on difficult days
smiles when sadness intrudes
rainbows to follow the clouds
laughter to kiss your lips
sunsets to warm your heart
gentle hugs when spirits sag
friendships to brighten your being
beauty for your eyes to see
confidence for when you doubt
faith so that you can believe
courage to know yourself
patience to accept the truth
and love to complete your life
