Compendium of Love Poetry

TOMORROW IS ALWAYS YESTERDAY The day my love was rejected My soul itself,was so dejected All the nights drift into the surreal My life's..a nightmare..so unreal Pain touches my inner core The day she said no more..no more Concentration just flies away Tomorrow is always yesterday.... Questions,questions nag my mind Answers..missing I cannot find The perfect circle ,broke in two This curtain obliterates my view Her eyes said all there was to say Alone,we went our separate way Tomorrow is always yesterday WEIGHTLESS Love,new love floats on air, thermals of desire fuel passion's flight; off the wall, out of this world, drifting together without a care; kissing, missing minutes become hours, one dream becomes another. ROMANCICAL we painted rainbows you and I, 'cross our golden sky; one by one the years rolled away, but a vow,once made, still lives on, brightly,as before; this pot of treasure worth much more than gold; riches,untold to sustain us,as we grow old; this love,grows not cold Note:Written in 2011 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary BEYOND LOVE The sun will rise,the sun will set, no more love will life beget; The day will break,the moon to rise, no more love,as this life dies; The Summer heat,or Winter cold, no more love will this life hold; The Autumn fall,and Springtime green, no more again,will love be seen; The wheat will shoot,the grass will grow, no more again sweet love to know; The grape will ripen on the vine no more,no more will love be mine. inspired after reading an essay by Nicholas Ferrar(1592-1637) Story of Love Each whispered word, the lovers heard; Each lingered look, thrills on tenterhook; Each tingling touch, as fingers clutch; then caress and cleave- Feelings heighten and perceive a senuous smile, on lips,tactile; Twinned thoughts unlaced, held in passion's embrace. LOVE ENTERS THROUGH THE EYES A smile shy across the room, A frisson tingles as our glances mingle. Words of warmth in whispers close, As love enters my eyes. Lips in passion pulsate, Co-join,entwine as one. Thoughts we shared,with souls unbared, Then,commitment ties Love launched by your eyes. AS ONE love story Each whispered word, the lovers heard; Each lingered look, thrills on tenterhook; Each tingling touch, as fingers clutch; then caress and cleave- Feelings heighten and perceive a senuous smile, on lips,tactile; Twinned thoughts unlaced, held in passion's embrace.
