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.
