hm… ok here are some of my favourite poems… they vary from poems I found in magazines to old poems which I totally love… hehhe I don't think I'm game enough to put my poems up here yet…. Maybe I will someday….!!!
Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.
W.B. Yeats 1865-1939
If thout must love me, let it be for naught
Except for love's sake. Do not say
' I love her for her smile…her look…her way
Of speaking gently,… for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day' ---
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, changed for thee, --- and love, so
wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry, ---
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806-1861
Friends forever we will always be
Through life and for all eternity
Together we can touch the sky
And fly amongst the stars up so high
Whatever happens I can always depend on you
You can always depend on me
cos forever friends we will always be
Written by Alvin de Castro
Take a small piece of my love for you
And hide it somewhere sweet.
Never tell another soul,
No matter who you meet.
Now keep this as a memory,
And leave it in the past.
Life's too short,
To take it hard,
And good things never last.
If by chance I go away,
Or find another home.
If things don't go right for us,
And you feel all alone.
Don't let time waste you away,
Remember my surprise.
That a small piece of my love for you,
Still hides behind your eyes.
Extracted from 'Dolly'.
As I look out to the sky afar,
You are my shining star.
A single touch,
A single kiss,
To be with you,
My one true wish.
If someone ever took you away,
I couldn't live another day.
You are my soul, my heart, my air,
Dearest one, I'll always be there.
My love for you is ever so strong,
I know for sure my heart is not wrong.
You are the sweetest guy,
You're the shining star in my sky.
Extracted from 'Dolly'.
My eyes follow you,
With every step you take.
My heart beats faster,
With every movement you make.
My breath becomes faster,
As you turn to look at me.
Your eyes look deep in mine,
I wonder what they see?
You wait for me,
As I walk towards you,
My eyes not daring,
To meet yours.
I pick up your cologne as I near,
My heart screams love,
My body ablaze.
I lift my gaze and meet your eyes,
I see a flicker of excitement,
Cross your face,
As you turn and match my pace.
As a couple we walk along,
The waves crashing silently
Alongside us,
The breeze blowing us together,
And in my dreams we slip away,
Into a sweet sunset.
Extracted from 'Dolly'.
Tell me what it means,
When my stomach churns,
And starts breeding butterflies.
I begin to sweat,
And my knees turn to jelly.
When I try to talk,
I cannot speak.
All this,
Just when you walk by.
Extracted from 'Dolly'
It lasts forever,
Love is true,
A million colours,
Red and blue.
Birds in spring,
Send sounds of love,
Their joyful songs,
Reign from above.
The scent of a rose,
Or the flight of a dove,
Love is just peace,
And all of the above.
Extracted from 'Girlfriend'
Everytime I think
of you,
Everything about you,
Used to make me smile.
The way you'd look at me,
Or listen for a while.
Everything about you,
So gentle, calm and sure,
Life gave the twinkle
in your eyes,
This meant our
love was pure.
Everything about you,
Not a detail I'll forget.
From the day your eyes
shattered mine,
My goal in like was set.
Everything about you,
I remember to this day,
Especially how you loved me,
Before you passed away.
Extracted from 'Dolly'
I am alone,
But at least I am free.
And I will be laughing,
When you next see me.
I will be melting
In somebody's arms,
Somebody, somewhere,
To protect me from harm.
I'll tell them about you
And maybe I'll cry,
And that somebody, somewhere,
Which I though was you,
Will hold me and hate you,
For what I've been through.
But then one day, I'll smile again,
When someone speaks your name.
And when they say how
They used to know you,
I can say the same.
But I won't cry about it,
Although it has been hard.
I know in time the hurt will pass,
And I'll walk away unscarred.
Extracted from 'Dolly'
I lie in my bed,
Looking out of the window,
Looking at the
Big blue sunset sky.
Listening to all the noises of
The children playing and
The birds singing.
How I sit in misery,
Waiting for something good,
To happen to me.
Why is it always me
That gets shut in the dark?
Why can't I ever see the light?
Is there something
wrong with me
That I have to hide?
Hide away from all the people
That pass me on the streets.
Why can't I be treated equally,
With love, respect and loyalty?
I want to be the same
As everyone else.
Is that too much to ask?

***I hold in my hands a box of gold,***
With a secret inside that has never been told
******
***The box is priceless, but as I see***
The treasure inside is far more precious to me
******
***Today I share this treasure with thee***
Its the treasure of friendship you''ve given to me
