Ever Written A Poem To A Lover?

And whether well written or not, I have always felt those written for me were very special because they always revealed feelings that were not expressed in quite the same way as that effort.

The heart beating in my chest

No, I do not posses
the heart beating in my chest
belongs to one
and only one
it belongs to you.


The love I feel
just from hearing your name
cannot be measured
except by one standard
the love I feel
from hearing your name
can be compared to
the love I feel
when I look in your eyes

I would swim the largest ocean
and climb the tallest mountain
walk the longest trail
just to see you smile
one last time
before we drift off to sleep.

All dedicated to my love Kyoko

Longer verses can come tomorrow, I just wrote these now, it can probably show

It's amazing. My poems can't compare... So I won''t post them. >.<

This is probably rubbish but I hope not:

winter birds fly past
your face in rain drop prisms,
my heart ore the sea

[KuranUSA]

I am struck speechless
your words they sparkle
with the love
that such words hold.
When it is raindrops fall
thoughts stray back
to a day on the beach
when we locked eyes
and said I love you
for the first time.
When it snows
visions of the past
walking down Oxford
street we did
arm in arm
bathed in night lights.
when a clear night forms
and one can look up
and see the stars shining down
my mind wanders to the night
on the hill
laying back and gazing
towards the heavens
and then your eyes
which made the beauty of stars
pale in comparison.
All of these I dream at night
untill the day
I can return
and take you in my arms.

I have no doubt that any haiku I try would come out somewhat strangled, but freeform poems seem to work

My darling, I don't think anything truly from your heart could come out strangled but I do know that your poem above brought back to vividly all those special...moments...that are just us. How else, how better to capture those fleeting times than poetry? Thank you for once again taking me to all those wonderful places my love.

Soft and subtle, quiet as she goes.

Lost in her eyes, the color? Goes unknown.

It's obvious, this feeling, untamed within.

Love, I love you, so strong, who's gonna win?

Yet the fire is silenced, cooled by your departure.

So alone, just, alone.

Sitting in a comfort I feel is gone.

Come back to me.

Please, no longer stay a fantasy.

If I did wrong, it wasn't my fault.

I didn't know, please, please, please let me know.

Alone, alone, alone.....

-Sorry guys, random feelings.- I KNOW IT SUCKS. I just miss her...

Don't apologise, you're just stating how you care about her (a lot I imagine).
I've read some pretty cool poetry from you all, thanks for sharing.
To answer the original question, I usually do art for my beloved instead as my poetry is... so-so.
