Night for us

The night was made for romance.
In the night our two hearts dance.
Under the stars our lips touch.
In the garden your embrace means so much.

The night was made for love.
Our hearts cooing like a white dove.
Your eyes sparkling like diamonds so white.
I love you darling with all my might.

The night was made for caring and trust.
And darling, God made this night for us.

- Lamar Cole

Begin with love

I'm no angel thats for sure
Just please tell me why
these things are happening to me?
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
and I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
and I'm wonderin' why you left
and there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
it’s my heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
And although my eyes may cry a thousand tears
And if by chance I live a million years
I believe one thing will still be true
In love I will find the answer
To the question
That is written in my heart
Have faith and it will guide me
On my journey
If I remember from the start
It all begins with love

- Mucks Princess

Forever and Always

Just when I thought it was bad
It got worse
You made me believe again

I hurt you in a way unforgivable
But somehow you made me pay for it
With hurt
With misery
So much that when food touches my lips
It sends message to my mind to refuse it

I pushed you away
It was all my fault
But to give me hope again
Its unfair

You gave me hope
When I needed to be mad
And now I’ve made a decision
That I was supposed to make
But now I don’t want to
Because it means you out of my life
Which I never wanted you to be
But it hurts so much
I can’t look into your eyes
Without seeing her

This is wrong

I wish I was mad
Cause when I was
It made it easy
Easy To forget
Easy To move on
Easy To realise I have other things to look forward to
But now I can’t turn away
Because I want to see your eyes again
I want to wake up next to you
I want your stupid jokes and laughs in my life
I can’t turn back and regret

Everyone says I can do better
But they have no idea how madly in love I am
You have so many faults
And were so opposite
And I can’t believe that I feel this way about you
I never saw this coming

But now I had you in my life
Your everything
Everything I could ever dream of
Everything I could ever hoped for
I need you again
Forever and always.

- Anita Walsh

Only love

Love can sometimes be fresh.
Love can sometimes be new.
Love can sometimes make you happy.
And sometimes make you sad.

Love is the light that radiates from your eyes.
Love is your image floating in the skies.

Love is true.
And darling, the only love for me is you.

- Lamar Cole

Our love

As long as there is love,
I will cherish you.

As long as there is life,
I will love you.

As long as the stars shine above,
I will want you.

As long as there are waves in the ocean,
I will need you.

As long as there is heaven above,
there will always be our love.

- Lamar Cole

Perfect Love

All we had of laughs and tears,
We both kept it a secret so no one hears,
I thought we could stay together,
But I knew these days wouldn't last forever,
She first treated me like a friend,
But I knew this couldn't be the end,
I saw the sun rising upon the shores,
Who would stay in while she could be outdoors,
We used to have fun under the rain,
Such moments were magical that words cannot explain,
Till that day when we had our first kiss,
That day is in my mind and I will always miss,
The love we shared grew strongly and fast,
She was everything to me, my present, future and past,
Words cannot describe the beauty of her eyes,
She is perfect that she can never tell lies,
The happiness of the world is felt in her smile,
Describing it would take years and years, not just a while,
All the love we felt was real,
It was innocent, perfect and pure that no one can feel,
Keeping us from each other would be tough,
Even the strongest power on earth won't be enough,
She was the closest one to my heart,
Nothing in the world could make us apart,
She thought I didn't need her that much,
But all what I needed was only her touch,
She is the one I loved with all my might,
The one dream to kiss tonight.

- Yehia El Tayeby

Sometimes

Sometimes but most of the time

Sometimes you’re noisy
But most of the time you calmed my mind
Sometimes you’re stubborn
But most of the time I realized you’re right

Sometimes you’re crazy
But most of the time I realized it’s just me
Sometimes you’re not there
But most of the time you comfort me

Sometimes I hate seeing you
But most of the time I long to be with you
Sometimes I hate you’re jokes
But most of the time I miss your smiles

Sometimes I hate the way you dress
But most of the time you’re beautiful
Sometimes I hate when you wake up late
But most of the time I love watching you asleep

Sometimes we quarrel and disagree on many things
But most of the time we make up and kiss all the time
Sometimes we feel we’re not meant to be
But most of the time we need each other

Sometimes…
But all the time…
I hate living life knowing
Without you by my side

Beautiful Wife

For my beautiful wife

You come to me like a shining star from the starry sky
Giving me guiding light and inspiration is my darkest night
Making me sing a new melody at lonesome days as it passes by
Taking away weariness, with your beautiful smiles

You’re the sunshine that sprouts seeds at twilight of my life
That brings new vision, new challenges to live without strife
As your nocturnal cries awaken the birds to fly high and be free
Unafraid of whatever strong winds that may come their way

You’re the rain that washes away the pain of my haunting past
Keeping me dry with your warm thoughts and lively eyes
Where colorful butterflies give beautiful thoughts for tomorrow
That paints enchanting, magnificent rainbow in my new haven

Thy laughter and mimicry is a cool breeze that fans streams
To perk up waterfalls around me to strum sonorous rhythm
Sharing sonata to the valleys and hills that are dry and lifeless
Liken to my heart that needs love, sympathy, care and praises

Oh! How blessed am I to have you my beautiful wife
Abundant oasis of hope that waters henceforth life’s emptiness
Ushering in more blessings of love, peace and success in me
Had been elusive in years I lived in lifelessness and shame!

- Herofil Olarte

Would you mind

Would you mind if I shut the door...
in your face
called you names
and told you to shut the hell up
would you mind if I shut myself away
so I can never love
so I can never feel
like I do now
numb all over
Cold
and heartless wouldn't you say?
Well im Nameless
see we go hand in hand

- Jackie Hergh

Today

Finally, today was the day...
Just listen to every word I have to say...
You are the reason why I'm smiling at the start of the day...
Just seeing you read this poem takes my breath away...
Every time you are in pain, I wanna be there for you...
I wanna fight away all your tears...
and replace them with happiness
and take away all your fears...
Your heart beat is racing and you don't know why...
but all I have to tell you is that
I will love you till I die...
Just follow me and my lead...
I wouldn't trade you for the world,
you are all that I need...
The day we met, I can't explain the way I felt....
Feeling all these emotions that I can't even help...
Every little thing we do is so special to me....
We are meant to be and thats what I want you to see...
Look into your future and don't think of your past...
Just stick with me and know that we will last...
I wanna give you all my love and heart...
Would you give me chance and a brand new start???
and I promise to treat you exactly like the first day...
and I promise that I will never go away....
Elizabeth I really do love you....
if I didn't I would have never cried for you....

- Michael

Loving and Curious

I wonder if he really loves me
I hear his voice everywhere I go
I see him in my dreams
I want him to be there
I am loving and curious

I pretend he is here with me
I feel his hands with mine
I touch him softly
I worry that he'll change
I cry when I feel he doesn't love me
I am loving and curious

I understand we have our problems
I say "I love you"
I dream about him every night
I try to make him feel the same way
I hope we are together forever
I am loving and curious

- Sonia Ortiz

Hey Girl

Hey girl! why dont you observe my love?
wherever I go I see you in front of me

you set my heart on fire
believe me I'm not a liar

the minute your thinking of me
I will be there for you

I can be your crying soldier
you can cry on my shoulder

I can be your soul protector
I will die preventing anythng from harming you

you're the greatest thing
that could happen in a lifetime
love is something nobody can control,
and like you always sweet

wherever you are or whatever you do
you'll be a person who touches my life forever

if you look in my eyes
you'll find them calling for you
if you listen to my heart
you'll hear it saying "I LOVE YOU"

- Mohamed Balsha

Key to Love

You kept your love behind a gate
your love tried to escape but you kept at bay
so I lay at the gate day by day
waiting for your love to escape
the day you gave me the key
I fell on my knees
and prayed that this was the right key
I just need you to see
that one day the 3 keys you hold will be mine too
Renita you can have my key too

- Exzaviera McGowan

Blood stained heart

My blood stained heart will always show
From so much hurt he did not know
They said love would make you cry
They didn't warn me it made you wanna die

My blood stained heart everyone will see
What your love can truely be
And once you hear what's to be said
Your eyes will soon be red

My blood stained heart is turning blue
Cause my heart is hurting through and through
I wish it didn't hurt so bad
Cause all it does is make me sad

My blood stained heart will always remind me
Of the love which is now behind me
When we broke up all it caused was pain
And out of that pain was there anything to gain?

- Miranda Belcher

Wait for you

As feelings collide into my deep soul,
I try my best to always keep you in mind.
Just when I feel like you slowly slip away,
You seem to know exactly when to come back.
And when I cry for your love,
Somehow I feel you hear it.
Lonely with desperation,
Waiting for you to forever be mine.
Longing to hear your voice,
Telling me how much you care.
To feel the touch
That makes me feel so safe.
Longing to kiss the lips
That takes my breath away.

The longing inside my heart and soul
Aches when you’re not near.
Pictures and thoughts of you
Stay inside my mind.
I can’t bear the fact that you’re
Not by my side.
My mind wonders uncontrollably
Of where you might be.
Pain is what I feel.
Hurt.

Waiting to gaze into the eyes
That tells a future.
My heart softly whispers
The true meaning of love.
Faster and faster my heart beats
When you’re near.
Slower and slower it gets
When you’re faraway.

A thousand pages are needed
To tell you exactly how I feel,
That the love you give to me
Is the love that seems so real.
Gently touching me to ease my pain away,
I just can’t imagine how life would
Be without that touch.

- Vanessa

Three Mothers

That day, two people died.
No she was alone in the car.
(Thank God for that, some said)
But a tiny life vaporized
Far, far away.
Sniffles, tears, mourns, sighs,
Man in the hall
Baby in the bedroom.
The maid rocks and strokes,
The baby knows better.
“Oh, she’s dead! The love of my life!
Twenty years I have loved her! Twenty!”

A week later, she moved in.
Prettier than the first, the baby thought.
Reds, pinks, oranges flutter about
A touch of lipstick, a dab of rouge
We have a party to attend, after all,
(There’s always a party)
And you’re not invited!
Wails go unheeded
Feminine tantrums pampered.
Diapers everywhere
What’s the maid for, after all?
All alone at night?
You know I’m scared of the dark.
What happened to the occasional cuddles?
The tickles, the giggles, the tucking in?
A separate room?
Privacy?
(What’s that?)
Whims are adored,
Milk bottles ignored
(It was only an inch away)
The maid’s here overtime
At least she smiles
I thought he liked me…
I could be wrong.
He seems happier
But I miss the first smiles,
The first park totters
The first family videos-the laughs, the love
I want to be a part,
The toys are cute,
They’re still not you.

Arguments erupt,
Fights pick up,
He screams, she screams,
There’s banging and clanging.
There’s more fluttering-scarves, skirts, photo-frames,
A swish of black, a begging follower
The door slams
Cries, screams, pleadings
(No! No! Don’t go!)

He bursts in
(It’s nice to see him again)
It’s all because of you!
You won’t stop crying, wailing.
Why don’t you shut up?
See what you’ve done!
Now another’s gone.
Guilty hugs, fake apologies ensue,
Reminiscences of old.
(Where were you all this time?)

The maid was early
(The baby glad)
But she stood perplexed in the hall
Don’t leave me, too!
She blushes and tugs at her plait
Man smiles
(Relieved)
She trots into my room
And my six month old hazels
Beheld my third mother.

- Suchaita Tenneti

I thought

I thought your love would last forever
I thought the chapter of loneliness had ended
Did you not want us to start a journey
Did you not want happiness
I thought you were different
I thought your love was truth
Now I sit in the dark, drinking my sadness away
the bottle half empty and my heart aching
I got tangled in your arms and I saw my life in your eyes
What a mistake it was to think that your love would last forever
Now I want to ask you one thing
Did you know that your love would break my heart forever?

- Sonia Banda

Every time

Of course I love you, my cow

I feel as I am so close to you, even though my tears tell me Im not.
I can see your face in our little cloud, but I need help to get there
Every time I see your eyes I fall deeper
Every time I see your smile I become weaker
They say you never realise what you have until its gone, well
in this case I think I did, and thats why allowed myself to love you.

Emptiness

I looked into your eyes, you turned away.
I felt your hand, it was cold.

I tried to smile, you laughed.
I enjoyed your company, your mind was elsewhere.

I tried to hold you, you closed your arms.
I tried to impress you, you werent interested.

I close my eyes and see you, you see other men.
I liked talking about you, so did you.

I trust you, you ''need time''.
I like your faults, you remind me of mine.

I love you, your lust has diminished.
I gave you my heart, you took my soul.

- Haroon Mahmood

Peaceful Place

In my room, I sit tonight..
No lights, no noise..
Just in candle light.
Just need my time of solitude...
to detox the mind...
and for the soul to be soothed...
I let my problems float away...
as I relax my body...
and reflect on my ways...
I begin to lose myself...
in a peaceful place...
I close my eyes...
and for a minute life fades..
I drift into dreams...
of marvelous things...
Where the animals roam..
and the free bird flies...
that is where..
my restless heart lies...
In a place that I can call my own..
Where only the best of things are shown..
Where in the morning..
the sun shines bright...
and when darkness lurks..
the stars fill the sky..
Where the breeze is mellow...
and the skies are clear...
and the sound of nature...
is all I hear.
and my problems are gone...
but I know this sanctuary...
never really lasts that long..
cause my candle flickers out...
and I leave my special place...
and it gets dark and quiet..
no light upon my face..
Reality is back...
and yet I still smile...
cause my trip was mighty lovely..
even if it lasted just a little while..
So when life gets me down...
the lights go off, and my mind drifts away...
to again return...
to my special place....
Peaceful...
Dreamy..
Passionate..
...............free.

Broken Man

When a man looks into your eyes and smiles,
it means hes laughing inside at himself.

When a man holds your hand,
it means hes let go of everything else in life.

When a man holds you close,
it means hes hurting inside.

When a man doesnt talk over you,
it means he loves your voice.

When a man says your name,
It means hes forgotten his own.

When a man is shy around you,
he wants to say your beautiful.

But most of all When a man says he cares you,
it means he needs nothing in life, but you.

- Haroon Mahmood

Given Chance

Somehow it exists in my own little world
Knowing it will always be a curse without sign
Indeed, can only be seen and be understood
In someone's truthful sight and fearless tongue

Aware or unaware, indeed I made a mistake
Hopelessly without your guiding light
I am afraid, lost and greatly in disguise
Believe me if only I could undo the past
I will do it before your gentle heart starts to ache

Sooner or later I know my life would be in the next
Bear in mind without your sincerest forgiveness
I am miserable and in great loneliness
Without you, I know I will crawl
Before I will learn to walk again
Believe me when I say this to you
You are my life and I still needed you

If given a chance
From now on
I will hold your heart
As gently as I can
Just to love and keep you
Once again…
Forevermore…

- Herofil Olarte

Start New

Love Lasting,
I guess you could call it a thing,
4 yrs it carried,
And now it's all trying to be buried,
My first real love,
Got lost above,
And threw everything away,
There was nothing more to say,
After so many times he broke my heart,
It was like a shooting dart,
So many times,
So many crimes,
To much to handle,
So now here I am starting brand new,
Always wondering how I really got threw,
Now it's hard to trust,
Even though I know I must,
But after the past,
How long will the truth last,
I always get hurt,
I always feel like I'm just dirt,
Are there people out there that are true,
I truly wish I knew,
I want to be happy,
And not sappy,
I want someone to be true to me,
Please help me see,
Make me believe there's good not only bad,
Because bad is all I ever had,
I always go for those bad boys,
That are like little toys,
That just play and play,
And there's nothing you can say,
There's nothing you can do,
Or they'll just forget all about you and be like who?
Like they never knew,
I just want to live my life,
And stop being stabbed with a knife,
Right where my heart is.
I just need to free my mind,
And really look what I need to find,
Im sick of being sad,
And that's what I feel like that all I have ever had,
Now I want to start brand new,
And find my one true Boo.

- Kristen A Szymanski

Special Love

I've never really understood
Nor thought it could be real
For the special love you've shown
Can't be measured in distance nor in time

Each moment with you
Seems timeless and filled with hope
You give me life and indeed
You are my life forevermore

No matter what, no matter where
All I ever hoped and prayed
Is for us to be always together
From this day until our next journey
For I belong to you and you
Were destined to be with me

- Herofil Olarte

First Love

I can't get you out of my head
Its weighing my body down like lead
I think about you twenty-four/seven
You used to make me feel like I was in heaven
My heart feels like its breaking
I cant stop it from aching
Why can't I move on from you
We have already said adieu
I didn't want to give you my heart
It began to happen from the start
You were my first and so far only love
In the end you pushed me away with a shove
You've hurt me too much to go back to you
Yet I cant stop thinking of all we've been through
I remember us laying out under the stars
Jumping away from each other when we heard the cars
When you held me in your arms you kept me warm
I was protected from everything, even a storm
You made me laugh, you made me smile
My time with you was completely worthwhile
I have tried so hard to forget and move on
I hate knowing from my life you are gone
I trusted you with everything I had
Because, boy, you made me so glad
I don't think I will ever forget you
We were great together, us two.

- Breanne Cope

What I Feel

I searched among the many memories
In my head to see if I could find,
A little something that would say
Just what was on my mind.

However there isn't one,
That captured it just right,
For no one can comprehend,
Just what I'd like to say.

I even find it difficult
To try to write it down,
Even in this very poem
For how shall I portray you?

This beautiful girl that I admire
To say I have feelings for you,
More than my heart can maintain,
Just enough to fill an ocean.

When I think about you,
I close my eyes and what I see,
Is someone I adore
A person who is beautiful,
Just by what I see inside.

Mere words cannot describe
The main qualities you show,
The love and caring nature that
You share with those you know
Causing my heart to appreciate you even more.

Now that you finished my poem,
Maybe you will notice all the love,
That I have for you for it's
Just what I feel.

- Teris Vinson

Heart Never Mend

I have cried so many tears
and faced so many fears
all my feelings I have burned
its the way I have learned
to cope with what Ive been through
except no-one knew
Im trying to pick myself up
but Im stuck
my heart bruised and broken
my words go unspoken
a frown comes to my face
and a tear takes place
my heart is crying in a smile
this has been happening for a while
how can I take back the pain
when nothing is quite the same
I love you with all my heart
till the very end
even though my heart will never mend

- Caroline Logan

Goodbye Love

I thought you were my angel from up above
and our love was endless love
you played with me like I was a toy
but now to me your just a boy
I thought you were my everything
and you loved me
I still cant believe how you turned out to be,
just some guy
so now with this poem I give you the last of me
and my goodbye

- Micki D
