A New Love

Sometimes it seems all the love songs have already been written;
No new ways for “I love you” are left to be said.
Sometimes it seems all the love plays have already been scripted,
And all the love sonnets have already been read.

Then when you are with me I know that can’t be true;
There must be love songs that have not passed any one's throat.
The love I feel for you never before has been experienced;
There must be some unsung love musical notes.

Sometimes it seems all the love poems have already been thought of;
No love words are left yet to be rhymed.
Sometimes it seems all the love phrases have already been whispered;
No new sayings can new lovers find.

Then when you kiss me I know that I must be the first one
To ever feel love as deeply as I do.
And so there must be some way unthought-of
To express just how much I love you.

How wondeful that line: there must be some unsung love musical notes. It captures the whole poem's essence. This is really a great tribute for that special someone. Congratulations, joe!

Why, Joe, you have quite a sweet romantic side to you. I'm reluctant to write love poems for the reasons you mentioned so eloquently. Hasn't it all been said before? But when you do fall in love, suddenly the inspiration to write poetry like this comes back to us. Very beautiful love poem! Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn

Very nice quatrain, and very well written. Might I just point out to you though that the last word in the second line of your second stanza, "wrote" should actually be "written". There is definitely always a new way to express our love for someone and even if the words may have been used, it is the heart with which they are proclaimed that counts. Thank you for sharing. Caroline.
