Valentine’s Day Poems

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. What a great day to learn some poetry. Following is a list that I found of the top 10 greatest love poems ever. Be sure to check them out and surprise your love with some poetry.

Why? Because, I love you!

Angry with me,
angry with you,
helpless and confused,
what do I do?
I sent you away,
then realized my love,
how much I miss you
with each passing day.
I’ve tried to be mad.
I’ve tried to forget.
But memories of you
they just won’t quit.
I shouldn’t lie beside you now.
You deserve more
than my life will allow.
When the morning sun does rise,
I will gaze once more into your eyes.
I’ve got to get my own life together
before I can promise another forever.
My God!
How I don’t want to let you go!
It is you that I love so!
Never did I want to cause you pain
or make you feel my love is vain.
I will leave you in the morning
and get my life straight.
I will be back.
I pray not too late.
I will hold out my hand
to my lover, my friend
and pull you to my side
atop this mountain
that we must climb.
Why?
Because, I love you!

Just Me

I gaze into a clear, black sky
and ask myself every question, why?
Why will it take so long for you to see,
the nature of the person that lives inside of me?
I’m everything you feared I’m not.
What extent of proof do you want?
I’m everything you hoped to find.
I am the life you always sought.
This is where your dreams become reality surreal;
that, you’ll finally feel all you thought would never feel.
Yet, serenity and perfection in another you are after
and it is I wants to be your smile, your song, your hurt and laughter.
Why will it take you so long to see,
that what you really want is me.

The World Within

The world within.

The world we know.

It pulled at me

and wouldn’t let go!

Long ago,

attracted by its allure.

Some fun gets old

and hard to endure.

I,  too, was lost

but now am found.

Till you showed me how

to turn life around.

I thought I was weak

but really I was strong.

You thought you were too.

We were both wrong.

You showed me life

like I had never seen.

As we laughed & played

in that place called the between.

The world within.

The world we know.

We had some fun

but had to let go.
