A LOVE LETTER - A POEM FOR MY LOVE

 Asking out girls, a task I'd often dread

But she was different, with hair that danced ahead

Simple looks, yet elegance shone through

I was intrigued, and my heart felt anew

 
I tried a letter, a rose by her locker too

But she caught me red-handed, oh what to do?

I dashed away, with a nervous little grin

But a petal fell, and she picked it up to sniff within


The hallway echoed, with a voice so sweet

"Yes" she yelled, and my heart skipped a beat

I stopped in my tracks, with a love-struck gaze

A love story beginning, in a most unexpected way

 
Our love blossomed, like the rose in her hand

A chance encounter, that took a brave stand

I learned to express, my feelings so true

And she loved me for me, with a heart that shone through.

 

LOVE BY THREADS - A POEM FOR MY LOVE

In emerald eyes, my heart found a home

A love so strong, it seemed to forever roam

But little did I know, fate's cruel design

Took her away, leaving me in heartache's shrine

 
Her heart was weak, but love was her creed

She believed it would heal, her heart's every need

I never knew, the danger that lay in store

Until that fateful day, when I couldn't save her more

 
We exchanged our vows, in a love-filled haze

And at the reception, she sang me a gaze

A melody sweet, that still echoes in my mind

But in my arms, her life slipped away, left behind


Her song ended, and so did her life's refrain

Leaving me with tears, and a heart in pain

I held her close, as her heart beat its last

And in that moment, our love was forever cast


Memories linger, of her loving gaze

And the song she sang, on our final, fatal day

I'm left to wonder, why love couldn't save

And why fate took her, in such a cruel wave

 
In emerald eyes, my heart still finds a home

But now they're closed, and I am left to atone

For the love we shared, and the life we couldn't spare

And the song that ended, with her final breath in air.

 

I LOVED A MORTAL - A POEM FOR MY LOVE

 
Amidst the birds that flew, and a sun that shone bright

I held the hands of my lover, in a final, fleeting light

We met years ago, in a lifetime long past

But now she's gone, and I'm left to forever last


Her hand, once warm, now cold as the stone

I held it tight, as my heart turned to bone

The price of my immortality, a love that had to die

A cruel fate, that I could not deny

 
Angel, my love, so calm and so bright

Long-suffering, a trait that I'll hold tight

For another century, I'll miss her gentle soul

And weep for the love, that made my heart whole

 
Her eyes, once shining, now dim and gray

I kissed her head, as my tears flowed away

Old and fragile, she leaned on me still

And in her final breath, my heart stood chill


I remember the laughter, the tears, and the sighs

The memories linger, like a haunting surprise

Our love was a flame, that burned bright and true

But now it's reduced, to a smoldering ember or two


My immortality, a curse that I bear

A lifetime of loneliness, without her to share

The sun shines brighter, but my heart is gray

For I've lost my Angel, and she's gone away


In my arms, she took her final breath

And with her passing, a part of me died in death

I'll hold on to memories, of her love so true

And cherish the time, I had with Angel, my love, anew.

 

ANOTHER FIRST LOVE - A POEM FOR MY LOVE

 On the bridge, a dare was issued, unexpected and bold

She accepted, and our lips met, young love unfold

In that moment, I realized life's authenticity

With soft, warm lips, my heart skipped a beat, ecstasy

 
The memory lingered, a nostalgic refrain

Echoes of our kiss, as I walked away, in vain

My mother's voice, a gentle reminder, to return to reality

Tapping me back, to my corporal form, a duality

 
But I yearned for more, the thrill of the unknown

Calls and chats, insufficient, my heart felt overthrown

I craved another dare, another chance to ignite

But fate intervened, another responded, a new delight

 
With books as witnesses, I kissed another, a new flame

Oh, how I forgot the first, love's fleeting nature, I couldn't reclaim

The thrill of the moment, a siren's call, I succumbed

A new love blossomed, as the first, withered, unenthroned

 
In academia's halls, I bide my time, awaiting release

Eager to shed, the shackles of collegiate tease

For in the world beyond, love's true complexity awaits

And I, a willing participant, in its labyrinthine fates.

MY WOMAN MY PRIDE - A POEM FOR MY LOVE

Fairer sex, thy wiles hath me ensnared

In lassitude and drink, my senses impaired

Afloat on thoughts, in stupor's darkening night

I pondered thus, "What sorcery hath made thee so bright?"


Thy power, dear woman, doth surpass great minds

A paradox, indeed, that doth entwine

My heart, aflutter, like a bird in flight

As thou, dear maiden, dost wield thy gentle might


Alas, our discord, a tumultuous, yelling fray

Didst leave me vanquished, and in haste, I slunk away

To toil, a refuge from thy wrath's sharp sting

Yet, focus, my enemy, didst mock my every wing


Oh, cruel fate, that doth deny me thy sweet grace

And with each step, doth lead me further from thy lovely face

A sorrow, deep, doth well within my breast

As I, a supplicant, do crave thy gentle nest


A tear, a sorry, and a heart, laid bare

Didst thou, dear woman, accept, with love's sweet care

Thy hug, a balm, that soothed my soul's dark night

As little Anna, our cherub, shone with delight


My woman, my pride, my heart's sweet, guiding star

Thou art my haven, my refuge, near and far

Forever thine, I pledge, my love's sweet, solemn vow

In thy embrace, my heart finds solace, now and evermore, somehow.
