Love Poems

THE MEANING

To love is to share life together

to build special plans just for two

To work side by side, and then smile with pride

As one by one, dreams all come true.

To love is to help and encourage

with smiles and sincere words of praise

To take time to share, to listen and care

In tender, affectionate ways.

To love is to have someone special

one who you can always depend

To be there through the years, sharing laughter and tears

As a partner, a lover, a friend.

To love is to make special memories

of moments you love to recall

Of all the good things, that sharing life brings

Love is the greatest of all.

I've learned the full meaning of sharing and caring

and having my dreams all come true;

I've learned the full meaning of being in love

by being and loving with you

LOVE IS ...

The whisper of my name as it leaves your lips.
The gentle caress of your fingertips.
The beating of two hearts as our souls unite.
The taste of your lips as our bodies ignite.

This feeling of completeness when I think of you.
The beautiful things you say and do.
The way my senses react whenever you’re near.
This desperate longing to have you here.

These dreams I have of holding you close.
Are the dreams of you I cherish the most.
I need you here always to quench my desire.
For you are the fuel that feeds my fire.

One touch from you and my bodies aflame.
Butterflies dancing at the thought of your name.
Every impulse, every thought, all that I do.
My whole world revolves around you.

The name of this spell that you weave around me.
My radiant smile that the whole world can see.
The answer my Darling is as simple as this.
You captured my love with your very first kiss.

FAITHFULLY AND FOREVER I LOVE YOU

Always and Forever in my heart you will stay

My love for you grows with each passing day

Always and Forever I will remain faithful and true

For there is no other to make me feel the way that you do

Always and Forever till I take my last breath

Like Romeo and Juliet, only to be parted by death

Always and Forever till the sun touches the earth

A million bars of gold couldn't measure what your love is worth

Always and Forever my love for you will never end

You are my soul mate, my lover and my very best friend

Always and Forever a promise to never part

You, my love, will always be in my heart

Always and Forever thanks for all that you do

Remember these words

"I will Faithfully and Forever Love you"

DESTINATION

I was lost, like a message in a bottle

Tossed into the sea of life

To drift aimlessly in the waves of time;

Without the strength to set my own course,

Without the courage to brave deeper waters,

And without the knowledge of a destination.

Then the bottle came to shore for someone to find it,

But the waves covered it with water and sand

And washed away the hope of ever being found.

But then you came along and found me,

Took me up from the darkness and carried me with you.

If I'd be tossed back to the sea again,

I'd now have the strength to set a course,

And I'd have the courage to brave deeper waters,

But I'd rather stay on land with you

Because I know I have finally found

My destination.

AN UNDERSTANDING

When I reach out to you

and you give me your hand...

There's a bond between us

that we both understand...

Without spoken words

but a mere silent embrace...

I know what is real

when I look at your face..

What I see in your eyes

and deep down in your soul...

Is a man with such depth

that I so want to know...

I wish for a moment

you could be in my heart...

and know all along

what I knew from the start...

And what I'm sure of in life

with each curve and each bend...

Is that so much would be missing

without you as my friend...

WITHOUT YOU

Like no one before ... or since
I carry your heart in my heart
you are inside me

like my own pulse
a word ... a rustle of sound

a hint of your presence
are all it takes

to throw me into ecstasy
you contain all the sweetness
the aroma of flowers ... soft winds ... light rain
bright sun ... glowing moon
the essence of everything I want
and without you I could not taste

the sourness of apples
the tartness of red wine,

the pearliness of persimmons

without crying ...

without you ... every day would be Monday
without you ... there would be no point in anything
do not let there be any time without you
ever ... my love

GREATER LOVE

The lover sleeps and amid his dreams
His angel comes on sunlit beams.
To waken him with kisses sweet,
For her love for him is oh so deep.
She wakes him with her caresses light
Upon his skin and smiles so bright.
And in her eyes, he sees the love
She feels for him 'neath stars above.

He comes to her to gently place,
Kisses upon her neck and face.
To caress her body and touch her soul.
For together two become a whole.
The love they make is deep and true
And in this embrace their love renew.
When all is done and all's been said,
Upon her breasts he rests his head.
And hears her heart beat for him alone.
A greater love, he's never known.

WHISPER IN A BOTTLE

Across the dismal distance

Which forces us apart

I send to you a whisper

From the deep sea of my heart

Know that all my waking moments

Are filled with thoughts of you

Always you are on my mind

Wherever I may be,

And during everything I do…

Though unfathomable the oceans be

As vast as the sky above

Immeasurable as they may seem

They will rival not my love…

Count the sand grains on this Earth

Add all the night stars too

And still that will not total

What I’ve come to feel for you…

HEART

Love is a gift that we give to our self
In all of my life I've known no greater wealth
As I look at my life through my heart I see
An image of you there beside me
In the morning sunrise all pink in hue
I walk in the love that I feel for you
As the night brings darkness to the sky above
I feel in the stars the depth of my love
Through all the miles and the time spent apart
I feel blessed every day for the "you" in my heart.

THE MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE

The ocean current carries me away from you,
I am a message in a bottle you never read,
Someday, glass will crack, water will leak,
Then I will slowly descend to the ocean bed.

No, the dolphins will bring you back to me,
I am the shore the lost bottle will land,
The glass will crack, message will unfold,
Then the rain will melt you into the sand.

The words of the message will be lost to eyes,
Becoming one with world that will never know.
The meaning of the message will be found by me,
Becoming one with the heart who loves it so.

HAPPINESS

Happiness can't be defined,

It's a certain mood, a state of mind.

It's sharing everyday affairs,

With someone who understands and cares.

It's a tender look or a gentle touch,

That says "I Love You Very Much.

It's a smile of welcome when you're blue,

It's a dream to share, a dream for two.

And happiness is more than this,

It's a warm embrace and a magic kiss.

It's a special blessing from above,

It's what you have when you're in love!

SLIPPED OUT

I slipped out of my mind

And into your dreams

The moment I flew

Over your head

Floating so high

Soaring aloft

Giving my soul

Cause to rise

My spirit on high

Joining with yours

Just below

This is where we ignite

The passion that began

The moment we said "hello"!

If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it just for you

And share with you its beauty

On the days you're feeling blue

If I could build a mountain

You could call your very own

A place to find serenity

A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in the sea

But all these things I'm finding

Are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair

But let me be what I know best

A friend that's always there

SOMETIMES AT NIGHT ....

Sometimes at night, when I look to the sky,

I start thinking of you and then ask myself, why?

Why do I love you? I think and smile,

because I know the list could run on for miles.

The whisper of your voice, the warmth of your touch,

so many little things that make me love you so much.

The way you support me, and help with my emotions,

the way that you care and show such devotion.

The way that your kiss, fills me with desire,

and how you hold me with the warmth of a blazing fire.

The way your eyes shine when you look at me,

lost with you forever is were I want to be.

The way that I feel when you're by my side,

a sense of completion and overflowing pride.

The dreams that I dream, that all involve you,

the possibilities I see and the things we can do.

How you finish the puzzle that lies inside my heart,

how that deep in my soul, you are the most important part.

I could go on for days, telling of what I feel,

but all you really must know is my love for you is real.

FOR THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

I carry your heart with me

(I carry it in my heart)

I am never without it

(Anywhere I go, you go my dear,

and whatever is done by only

me is your doing my darling)

I fear not fate

(for you are my fate my sweet)

I want no world

(for beautiful, you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing in you

Here's the deepest secret nobody knows

(here's the root of the root, the bud of the bud,

the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

which grows higher than soul can hope

or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

(I carry you in my heart)

TOUCHED MY SOUL

You made me fall in love with you
It was not against my will
In you I found the taste of love
And I cannot get my fill

You touched my inner senses
You took me in your fold
You worked your way into my heart
'twas then you touched my soul

Your eyes betray a promise
There is nothing they conceal
Your love will be the truest love
That I will ever feel

We were meant for one another
To love, to have and hold
I cannot help but love you
For you have touched my soul

EVERYTHING I DO

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

TIME IN A BOTTLE

If I could save time in a bottle,
The 1st thing I'd like to do,
Is to save every day,
'Til eternity passes away,
Just to spend them with you.

If I could make days last forever,
If words could make wishes come true,
I'd save every day,
Like a treasure and then,
Again I would spend them with you.

But there never seems to be enough time,
To do the things you want to do,
Once you find them,
I've looked around enough to know,
That you're the one I want to go,
Through time with.

If I had a box just for wishes,
And dreams that had never come true,
The box would be empty,
Except for the memory,
Of how they were answered by you.

Jim Croce

YOUR SONG

It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those
Who can easily hide
I don't have much money
But boy if I did
I'd buy a big house
Where we both could live
If I was a sculptor,
But then again, no
Or a man who makes potions
In a traveling show
I know it's not much but
It's the best I can do
My gift is my song and
This one's for you

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that
I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world

I sat on the roof and
Kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well
They've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you
That keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten if
They're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is
What I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen

Elton John

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

Don't go changing to try and please me,
You never let me down before.
And don't imagine you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far.
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't go trying some new fashion.
Don't change the color of your hair.
You always have my unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever conversation,
I never want to work that hard.
I just want someone that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be,
The same old someone that I knew.
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart.
I could not love you any better,
I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever conversation,
I never want to work that hard.
I just want someone that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I said I love you and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart.
I could not love you any better,
I love you just the way you are

Billy Joel

I SWEAR

I see the questions in your eyes

I know what's weighing on your mind

But you can be sure I know my part

'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years

You'll only cry those happy tears

And though I'll make mistakes

I'll never break your heart

I swear ~ By the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there

I swear ~ Like the shadow that's by your side

I'll be there, for better or worse, till death do us part

I'll love you with every beat of my heart ~ I swear

I'll give you everything I can

I'll build your dreams with these two hands

We'll hang some memories on the wall

And when there's silver in your hair

You won't have to ask if I still care

'Cause as time turns the page

My love won't age at all

I swear ~ By the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there

I swear ~ Like the shadow that's by your side

I'll be there, for better or worse. till death do us part

I'll love you with every beat of my heart ~ I swear

IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

John Lennon

EAGLES FLY

Sunday morning, nine a.m.
I saw fire in the sky
I felt my heart pound in my chest
I heard an eagle cry
Now I'm alive I can breathe the air
Feel the wind, smell the earth in the air
I watch an eagle rise above the trees
Project myself into what he sees

Hey - Take me away
Come on and fly me away
Take me up so high
Where eagles fly
I often dream I sail through the sky
I've always wished I could fly
The simple life of a bird on the wing
Oh Lord, I could sing
Take me away
Come on fly me away
Lift me up so high
Where eagles fly

Oh yeah - I'm alive, I breathe the air
Wash the earth from my face
I catch a glimpse of another dream
I turn, I look but there's no trace
Take me away
Come on, fly me away
I wanna fly away
Pick me up so high
Where eagles fly

Oh yeah - Eagles fly, oh, take me away
Eagles fly, oh, take me away
Come on, let's fly away where eagles fly
Come on, fly away where eagles fly

THE KEEPER OF THE STARS

It was no accident me finding you

Someone had a hand in it

Long before we ever knew

Now I just can't believe you're in my life

Heaven's smilin' down on me

As I look at you tonight

CHORUS:

I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars

He sure knew what he was doin'

When he joined these two hearts

I hold everything

When I hold you in my arms

Thanks to the keeper of the stars

Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine

It takes my breath away

Just to look into your eyes

I know I don't deserve a treasure like you

There really are no words

To show my gratitude

REPEAT CHORUS

It was no accident me finding you

Someone had a hand in it

Long before we ever knew

I Corinthians 13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging symbol. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfection disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a woman, I put childish things behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, ever as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.

But the greatest of these is LOVE.
