From the heart

Hannah Jo Keen

If you were a teardrop 

In my eye, 

For fear of losing you 

I would never cry. 

And if the golden sun 

Should cease to shine its light, 

Just one smile from you 

Would make my whole world bright. 

When leaves have fallen from the trees 

And the sky is filled with storm, 

Just the thought of your gentle touch 

Is enough to keep me warm. 

When the moon up in the sky 

Shines a faint blue light, 

Memories of times we've shared 

Will keep me from sleep at night. 

If only I had the courage 

To speak these words to you. 

Each one is from the heart

And couldn't be more true

Ever Since The Day We Met

Cheryl Ann

Ever since the day we met 

I've known within my heart 

our love is something special 

I've felt it from the start. 

 

Each and every day since then 

I've dreamed of you each night. 

I feel the love inside me grow 

and long to hold you tight. 

When I look into your eyes 

I sense you feel it, too. 

Our hearts have found each other 

this love of ours is pure and true. 

You are my soulmate, sweetheart, 

you are my dream come true; 

From now until the day I die 

all my love I give to you. 

Now that we are together 

I know we'll never part; 

The distance may divide us 

but you're always in my heart.

Will You Marry Me?

Grant Buckley

We've been together for a while now,
and I need to let you know
Just how it would make me feel inside
if you ever let me go.

My heart would break without a doubt,
I don't know what I'd do
The pain would be unbearable,
I can't bear the thought of losing you.

We've had a lot of good times,
and we've shared a lot of the bad
But we are always there to help each other
when one of us is sad.

You are more than a friend to me,
you're my soul, my life, my love
And since the moment I laid eyes on you,
I've thanked the lord above.

Although we're together now,
let's hope there's many more years to come
You'll always have my heart,
you've always been that 'special someone.'

The way you've held me in your arms
over these past few years
And the way I'll always be there for you,
to wipe away the tears.

You know you have my heart,
and I hope I have yours, too
I'll stay by your side forever,
if that's what you want me to do.

I guess this poem is just a way
of showing you that we are meant to be
So, do me this honor, give me your hand
... "Will you marry me?"

Shining Star

Bridget from Elwood, IL

First love is always pure
Not caused by looks or fame
Only with it comes a hope
That that person feels the same

Even though saying I love you
Is a hard thing to do
The hardest part is not hearing
Someone say I love you too

And though I feel the pain inside
Every minute of the day
I know that someday it will end
But in my heart you'll stay

Until the day we meet again
May it be near or far
You'll be with me till my days are through
My love, my shining star

True Love

Author Unknown

True love is a sacred flame

that burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow 

or change its destiny.

True love speaks in tender tones 

and hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart 

and true love conquers fear.

True love makes no harsh demands 

It neither rules nor binds,
True love holds with gentle hands 

the hearts that it entwines.

An Angel

Author Unknown

When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,

I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.

A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'

It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.

An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.

Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angels see us through.
You are one of my Angels.
Perhaps I am one for you.

Never Shame A Woman

Eileen Manassian

Never ever shame a woman 

for the fire in her soul 

still your fear that you're unable 

to give that which makes her whole 

Never ever shame a woman 

for the fierceness of her love 

when she wants to subjugate you 

she's an eagle, not your dove 

Never ever shame a woman 

for her raging burning need 

to take in that which inflames 

her bond and let her soul be freed 

Never ever shame a woman 

for insatiable desire 

use your all to give and please her 

be a man and stoke her fire 

Never ever shame a woman 

for her sensual appetite 

primal cravings that possess her 

give her reign at day or night 

Never ever shame a woman 

when she moans in ecstasy 

do not force her into silence 

let her voice her fantasy 

Never ever shame a woman 

for her wanton sultry way 

thank the heavens that she's able 

to bring passion into play 

Never ever shame a woman 

for the pleasure that she craves 

be a man and strive to sate her 

for this act her honor saves

The Water Is Wide

Author Unknown

There is a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just as my love proved false to me

Oh, love is gentle, and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the mornin' dew

The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
Neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I

Imagine

Pete Shilling

Imagine the woods,
Without a tree,

Imagine the rivers,
Without the sea,

Imagine yourself,
Without me,

Imagine how lost,
I would be.

Love

Author Unknown

When it comes to lovin' couples,
don't we make the perfect pair-
There's romance, love, and laughter
in the friendship that we share.

We care enough to listen,
to trust and understand.
To build a life together,
side by side and hand in hand.

We both know that we're lucky
and we've got a good thing going.
Through ups and downs
and give and take,our love 

just keeps on growing

'Cause I bring out the best in you,
and you the best in me-
I guess it takes the two of us
to make the perfect "we."

What You Are

Brett Coulter

You are my raft in the rapids of life
You are my peace in the midst of strife
You are the shore to a shipwrecked soul
You are the bridge to a lifelong goal

You are the finish of an olympic run
You are the shine when there is no sun
You are a rope when I start to fall
You are my wife and you are my all.

I Make This Promise To You

Tyr Annassassi

I make this solemn promise to you:

To be your lover when you need to be loved,
your doctor when you are ill,
your army when you go to war,
your umbrella when life rains down on you,
your rock when you get weary,
your shield when you need defense,
your spirit when you are drained,
your pillow when you need to rest,
your voice when no one can hear you,
your ear when no one will listen,
your comfort when you feel pain,
your hero when you are under duress,
your sunshine when darkness falls,
your answer when questions arise,
your inspiration to overcome obstacles,
your hand to hold when you are frightened,
your kiss that wakes you everyday,
and your "I love you" each and every night.

I am yours... all of me.

A Dream Come True

Dawn Ballard

Feelings that once were hidden
Are now expressed to you.
Days that once were stormy
Are now the brightest blue.

Times that once were lonely
Are now filled with pleasure.
All that once was mine alone
Are now things we both treasure.

Nights that once were cold
Are now comforting and warm.
Fears that once were very real
Are now gone with the storm.

A heart that once was broken
Can now finally mend.
A person once alone in life
Can now call you a friend.

Dreams that once were longed for
Are now all coming true.
The love I once thought was gone
I have now and forever in you.

Reflections of a Beautiful Morning

Michael Brieck

The sun rises above the hillcrest,
As does the joy of my heart;
Rays of warmth and love,
From her I will never depart.

Fresh dew upon the grass,
Young birds chirp in their nests;
I watch her gently sleep,
My love to her I silently profess.

I enjoy the stillness and calm,
Watching as she smiles and dreams;
She brings me to stillness and peace,
Like that of a slow flowing stream.

My heart and soul flow with love,
And I smile as I quietly reflect;
I’ve been handed a sweet princess,
A sweet princess to love and to protect.

A vow to myself I make,
As she quietly sleeps away;
To love and always cherish her,
Until my last breath... until my last day.

Angel Boy

Terrence's Gurl

When I was left broken hearted,
From all the other boys,
You came into my life,
And filled my heart with joy.

You picked up all the pieces,
And sewed them back together,
Finally someone who'll treat me right,
A love to last forever.

I can't believe it took so long,
For me to finally see,
That you were the one waiting,
To come and rescue me.

So never again will I have to cry,
Accept for tears of joy,
I love you with all my heart,
My precious ANGEL BOY

When I'm Around You

Becky

(slightly modified)

So many things,
run through my head.
When it comes to you,
and the things that you've said.

So many wonderful,
memories rush through.
When it comes who you are,
and the great things you do.

I cant take your face or smile,
out of my mind.
I just cant do it,
when I know that you're mine.

I love to look at the pictures,
of your oh so handsome face.
I can just imagine,
Your warm, loving embrace.

I really dont know,
what I would do.
If you weren't around,
and I wasn't with you.

Always remember, I love you

Mikki Shuler

Always remember I love you
More than words could ever show,

And I think of you always-
Much more than You could know

And now until forever,
Always remember this too,

There's no one I could ever love
More than I LOVE YOU!

I Will Love You Forever

Terence Inosanto

I love you so deeply,
I love you so much,
I love the sound of your voice
And the way that we touch.

I love your warm smile
And your kind, thoughtful way,
The joy that you bring
To my life every day.

I love you today
As I have from the start,
And I'll love you forever
With all of my heart.

When I'm with you,
eternity is a step away,
my love continues to grow,
with each passing day.

This treasure of love,
I cherish within my soul,
how much I love you...
you'll never really know.

You bring a joy to my heart,
I've never felt before,
with each touch of your hand,
I love you more and more.

Whenever we say goodbye,
whenever we part,
know I hold you dearly,
deep inside my heart.

So these seven words,
I pray you hold true,
"Forever And Always, 

I Will Love You."

Love's Burning Desire

Author Unknown

Love is a burning desire,
That makes your heart light on fire,
Love is being with you,
Someone saying I love you too,

Love is your tender kiss,
Something you don't want to miss,
Love is you and me,
And that is all I see.

A White Rose

John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890)

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.
