Poems of Romantic Love by Ellen Kozisek

These poems reflect my thoughts and feelings at the time I wrote them. I share them, not because they express an ideal, but because they express a point on the journey of life -- a point were I was and a point where others may be now.

To Julian

Your face is but the one I love,
It seems no other ever
Could steal my heart as your face does
And make my body quiver.

Your wavy hair, your pretty eyes,
Send shivers up my spine.
That you knew me I do wish.
A dream of thee is mine.

But now is not forever
And someday, maybe soon,
Another man will steal my heart
And I'll forget about you.

Till then, 'tis thee I will admire,
And think about every day
When I, upon my stereo,
Your wondrous record play.

Love Unfulfilled

Sadness fills my lonely heart
Whenever I think of you.
My love, it goes out unreturned,
And I'm left feeling blue.

How I wish that I did love
Someone who could love me,
But to eternal happiness
Your love don't hold the key.

So I'll wait for tomorrow,
When I'll be over you,
And I will hold my true love's hand
And he will love me too.

First Love

When you came
You changed my world,
For better or for worse
It'll never be the same.

I risked my heart
And fell in love,
But my heart was broken
Thru no fault of yours.

First love
Is a strange adventure
Bringing the child
To the world of adults.

No longer a child,
The adolescent sees
How wonderful
Forever love must be.

If I Could Love Just Anyone

If I could love just anyone,
I'd want to love someone like you.
One not like you I'd surely shun
If I could love just anyone.
More nice than you there is not one,
And like you there are very few.
If I could love just anyone,
I'd want to love someone like you.

Sonnet to a Lover

It is just you that I love in my heart.
I hope that you and I will never part.
Let's walk beside each other hand in hand
And plan the day I'll wear your wedding band.
I look into your eyes and there I see
The beauty I cannot find inside me.
Your power over me is so complete
My love for you nobody can delete.

I want the rest of my life spent with you.
I cannot wait much longer till the day
When you and I, we will both say I do,
And ever by my side you'll always stay.
Till then think of me every time you can
And I will think of you, my only man.

To My Love

My dearest, my love, you will always be
Within my heart, inside of me.
You're in me and I'm in you.
One we have become from two.

Though we have to be apart
I carry you inside my heart.
I love you more than words can say,
And in my heart you'll always stay.

With you I want to share my life.
I want someday to be your wife.
For now, remember that I love you,
And I'll remember you love me too.

A Poem of Love

I don't know where I'd be
If it wasn't for you.
I was a tiny seed.
You were the sun.
I thought I was unworthy of love.
But you saw me.
You thought I was beautiful.
You shined your love down upon me.
I loved you.
With the light of your love I grew.
Slowly
I began to feel
That I too was lovable.
You taught me how to love.

Now,
I too am a sun.
I shine my light
so that others may grow.
Yet I am still a flower
That needs the light of love to grow.
As you,
Who were the the sun for me,
Are also a flower.
Let me be a sun
And shine upon you
To help you grow.
I will always be your friend.

A Poem Of Desire

Desire.
Love.
Giving.
Give you my love
I desire.
You filled my heart with love.
I want to fill up yours.

It's hard,
So hard.
You look so good to me.
In you I see everything I want.
I want to wrap my arms around you.
Wrap my legs around you.
Be united with you in love.
It's hard.

I love you.
You love me, but I wish
You loved me
Like I love you.
I love you.
It's hard.

I love you.

I've loved him for so long.
I thought it was enough.
But now I know something was missing.
I gave all I could give,
But it wasn't enough.
I never really gave me.
I never surrendered.

But now...
Now everything's changed.

I've learned to surrender.
To give up all.
And it's a wonderful thing.
In giving up all,
My deepest desires have been fulfilled.

Thank you, Lord.

More Beautiful... (Variation)

More beautiful than a mountain.
More beautiful than the sea.
As beautiful as a forest.
That's how he is to me.

The Poem Remembers

I loved him and longed for him.
      The poem remembers.
I saw beauty in him.
      The poem remembers.
I captured my feelings in a poem.
      The poem remembers.
I learned; I grew.
      The poem remembers.
Now I can let go.

The poem remembers.
