Notes About The Poem

Simple Words of Love

No need for a special day
to adorn you with affection.

For when love had forgotten me,
you arrived during Spring's bloom,
floating like a petal from the heavens.

I can remember Whispers from tepid winds, 
led me to willow trees, bowing to your grace.
I still remember crystal clarion blue skies,
an eternal reminder of our first glance,
and the enchantment in your eyes.

But you say:

"The pen needs no metaphors,
just write simple words of love."

The pen flows like simple musing streams;
(oops a metaphor)

So, here goes in the most simplest words.
You are the answers to those questions I could not find.
What my heart yearned for in others, it found in you.
No confusion remained, as suppressed emotions flowed.
Your whole existence was conveyed through my poetry .

How I wish to forever stay in that moment,
the first time our love turned into reality.
Without speaking a word, 
my heart felt like we were not strangers.

You're still the one, only you.
The one who knows, the one who understands.
With you stormy seas calm and all that is lost is found.
With you in the world, nothing else matters.
I can't say it simpler..... Than I am Yours.

Deep evocation of love, SO! The last line says it all. Liked the humorous innocent oops, falling head over heels in love does that to a person. A very tender romantic offering for V-Day. Love and best wishes always.

wow. I love the honesty in your words, and the expression of emotion. I think this is the kind of "valentine" every woman would love to get from her man.

'You're still the one, only you. The one who knows, the one who understands.' That sums up how it is when someone recognises the unspoken signs that mean 'I love you so much' or, 'I need a hug, please.' Both in equal amounts; of course, from either side. Takes patience to wait til time brings such amazing love: a skin that fits outside your own, a heart that seems to tick at the same speed. It's not magic, it just IS. Your finely written poem says as much - and more. Brava! -

WoW! Silent, Saying this is romantic is an understatement because "is" and so much more. I found it to be poetic with good content. Good metaphors as well. I'm so glad I read this on today. Happy Valentine's Day my friend:-) Alexis
