Best Great Love Poems
I Know of Great Love
I know of great love...
the kind of passion that
surpasses ecstasy into
a world of oblivious bliss
soaring among the clouds
in the ethers of heaven
with a newness that
never grows old or faint.
I savor these golden
treasures within my heart,
within my mind that is
filled with memories of
past and present as I look
forward to our future
moments, suspending us
in love's rapturous arms.
No love song could express
the joy you have given me,
nor the Valentines of
intimacy written by poets
with profound adoration.
Your voice is my love song,
your tender touch, my bliss,
your warmth, my security in
feeling, I know of great love.
You are now and will forever
be my beloved Valentine!

the pearls from your eyes
are far more precious to me
than any treasure
your big sacrifice
nothing more to compare with
you’re my great hero
I owe you my life
mom, my heart melts when you cry
your tears: pearls of love
unconditional
that’s the greatness of your love
in you, I feel God
mom, I’m so sorry
sometimes, I make you lonely
but you’re dear to me
you bear all the pains
pearls of great love on your cheeks
every drop, I’ll kiss
for I do believe
you want only the best for me
all your pray’rs and wish
thank you so much mom
those pearls of great mother’s love
be kept in my heart
you’re my only mom
replaceable by no one
comfort and best friend
my ardent prayers
may you live long in this world
may God gives you strength

Note:
This poem was conceived both from the “Pearl” theme and one of my possible adorable picture themes of my latest contest, “Mother’s Love”- merged into one.
It is also composed with the inspiration of all mothers in this world. You’re indeed the greatest heroes/heroines! I am so proud of you! I lovingly dedicate this poem to you dear mothers and friends! Big hugs to all of you! Of course, I include especially my loving/dearest mom who’s my greatest inspiration, refuge and best friend.
This poem can also bring to us a message for this Easter Season as we remember Mother Mary who’d suffered much seeing her loving son Jesus Christ’s great sufferings on the cross at Mt. Calvary- a mother’s great love to her child indeed!
HAPPY EASTER SEASON TO ALL!

'For God so loved the world He sent His Son'
To free us from the grip of sin's domain,
That full redemption for all time be won
And man may dwell at peace with God again.
From heaven's glory to a tainted earth
He came to seek and save all who were lost,
To manifest a life of higher worth
And pay the greatest sacrificial cost.
Oh that my heart might daily sing the praise,
Of He who cared enough to die for me
And may I strive to ever live my days
For Christ, who bore my sins on Calvary.
'For God so loved the world' so how can I
Live for my selfish goals and Christ deny?

John 3 verse 16 : 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life'
Love is intense at sixteen
Love, unreciprocated, loss
Intense loss
Depths of longing
Heights of soaring
Floating, contentment
The eyes see, the heart wants
Hoping for intense glances
Burning the depths of eternity
Solar glow giving
Love's hot flame
Tingle down my spine
I found a p a s s i o n so deep in my heart,
When we are together lost the MAGIC of time
It gives me relief during distress,
I write honest words of ballads and r h y m e
When dark days arrive in solitude,
We balance each other out in contentment
I know this LOVE is so true,
Free from the torment of blame and resentment
I knew not adoration before us,
Only you i g n i t e my tempting blazing fire
You knew not the depths of TRUST,
And bring me seductive appealing desire
After the snowfall comes the Spring
With all the b l o s s o m s a love can endure
And inside my soul you give such pleasure,
You bring such ENTICING honest allure
Before the days of joy, I saw loneliness,
Now we’re compatible with truth and ease
I saw not things you show me s w e e t h e a r t,
As the days of anguish decided to cease
Forgiveness became lost and I found FAITH,
There’s one thing you should always know
It’s when you embrace me with your hands,
With you by my side my HEART shall g l o w
I wish you never to let go of my heart,
When the willows weep I shall always remember
I promised you a love so s i n c e r e,
The day we said our VOWS in late September
So, when the storms arrive I guarantee,
To you I shall always love with all my s o u l
And vow to honor our commitment,
Realizing that our HOPE can always make us whole
I n e e d you more now than ever before,
I know you need me to express our love in song
With a tune so g r a c e f u l we can grow old
For with your DULCET melody we can never go wrong
And prove to God we could get through,
Anything we encounter during this great love's life
With faith in a d o r a t i o n inside us,
I SHALL VOW TO YOU TO BE YOUR WONDERFUL WIFE

Above the oceans,
the painting shan't remember,
you shall rustle me sweetly,
i wake eagerly,
on our outings,
below the nose,
the dale cannot shimmer,
i think i forgot to tell you that,
i love you,
yes!!!i love you so much,
even when i offended you,
you pretend as if you offended me,
and you forgive me,
how sweet is this love???
i bet i can't find any other love like this,
even though other people tempt me with their love,
but it wasn't like yours,
oh!!! i can't believe you just broke my heart,
after all my trust,
i tried begging you,
but you turned deaf ears,
you left my heart shattered,
but someone came into my life,
and fixed it,
yes!!! to fix it,
now i'm deeply in love with the person,
the name is JESUS,
how sweet is this name???
in fact, he is the reason why i'm alive today,
now we are together,
and i doubt if anything can come between us
ARE YOU WILING TO LOVE THIS SAME PERSON????
you are my great love forever
You are pure as the crystalline water,
Soft as the breeze of the sea,
Brilliant as the Morning star,
cute as the moonlight night…
You are candy as the honey,
Fort as the lion,
Infinite as the sky,
It exempted as the bird that flies…
You are precious as a rare jewel,
Magic as an oasis in the desert,
amazing as the clear street,
Penetrating as one to look at so close…
You are sincere as the true word,
yummy as the candy .
Efficient as one it shoots an arrow flew true,
Captivating as a passion heal without..
You are ingenuous as the flower,
Delicate as the nobility,
Perpetual as the true love,
Perfect as to the proper nature.
you are my true love my duncan te amo forever
OF CEIZAR FOR MY DEAR DUNCAN TE AMO
when your emails arrive
they're full but not so alive
your words are kind, nice
your message very concise
not a hint of those things
that you know ails or stings
i should tell you
enlighten you
in the spaces there are signs
what i read between the lines
i see and more i feel the acid rain
drops that are soaked in your pain
it feels like bullets against my hide
like a red hot iron buried in my side
i would like to say sorry
sorry that you hurt. sorry
in thinking of me you veil your truth
though you know it's a seedless fruit
inside you, what now must feel like an empty shell
there is still the you the one that always rang the bell
you know you are still yourself unpressed
the person i know that always impressed
but cuts don't heal from raw facts
they hide irritated in burlap sacks
behind a plastic mask
inside an empty flask
love-hurt spreads more than any tear
not just here or there but everywhere
it reflects any and all reason
lives void of all of any season
no spring winter summer or fall
it is tossed and bounced like a ball
left to its own devices
it morphs becomes a crisis
but you can't let it own you
just like yesterday this too
it will be tomorrow
days follow in a row
grab a very large clock
one with a key and a lock
only you can turn the hand
and stop the flow of sand
happy is a minute away
choose it now, today

Contest Name: Enter a poem I have not commented on (YET) #1
Wordsworth wrote, in 'Splendor in the Grass,'
about the glory that can be found in the flower.
He alluded to a love that had long since passed,
like clock hands tick off each second and hour.
He was saddened when taken from his sight,
was the radiance of a great love he once knew.
His world had been filled with splendid light,
but then darkened in shades of gray and blue.
He wrote to tell readers they should not grieve,
for a love that has been lost or left behind.
But that poet's words I am unable to believe,
for I consider them callous, no truth do I find.
I wonder if Wordsworth had ever shed a tear,
or had his heart broken or hardened to stone.
Did he ever lose a love that he once held dear?
And in his hour of pitiable grief, did he cry alone?
Wordsworth may have been a bard, a poet grand,
but in his 'Splendor...' quote, he has clearly shown
the falsehood written with ink quill in his hand,
for I have grieved for lost loves... I have cried alone.
Great love knows great pain,
carries conflict quietly
in its roaring heart.

In my darkest hours I cry to thee
asking for you to take the pain.
I know you are the master of life
for me and all creation.
I bring all to thee
in earnest prayers
as I cry within my soul.
You showed the world love
with the gift of your son
who takes all our pain
and grief from within.
Lord I thank you always
for that gift you gave
and the gifts you have bestowed
upon my life.
Lord I ask you guide
me daily with this love
that I may be a light
who may not know thee.
Amen

How can Jesus love me so
A love with no end
Deeply rooted and grounded
Never bending with the wind.
Greater love has never been
Than the love Jesus shows
Love forgiving you and me
And great meekness He bestows.
Love extended to each and all
Whether strong or very weak
Even great, or even small
His love, you can always seek.
Jesus love will never fail
It is patient and very kind
Enduring and long suffering
and abideth all the time.
NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS YOUR GREAT LOVE FOR ME
YOU CHANGED MY LIFE THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD BE
YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL YOU ARE SO TRUE
MY LIFE DID NOT EXIST BEFORE I KNEW YOU
MY LIFE WAS EMPTY I HAD NO REAL GOAL
UNTIL YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE AND MADE ME WHOLE
MY LIFE WITH YOU IS FULL OF HAPPINESS PEACE AND JOY
AND IS FULL OF YOUR LOVING CARE
MY LIFE MEANT NOTHING UNTIL THE DAY THAT YOU WERE THERE. AMEN
Great Love Lost, Truth Only Then Found
Where was I, journeying when I lost her heart,
a stranger to tragedy and great pain!
She that once healed me has now torn me apart,
wading wastelands of despair almost insane.
Where was I, when walking stone path so blind,
traveler seeking waste of lust and greed!
A damn fool devoid of care and looking to find,
that which I so stupidly thought I need.
While her faithful love battled to stay alive,
my desires raced onward into dark deeds!
She that gave all her love to help me survive,
watched me in error sow my wild seeds.
When did I, wake to this hell, long nightmare,
a cut beast all set to moan and bleed!
Crying out in misery how my life is so unfair,
still forgetting her pain and need.
When will, my soul lead me from my sad plight,
a victim of my own lusts and dark acts!
A beast screaming out for help in plain sight,
only now getting truth and the facts.
Where was I, journeying when I lost her heart,
a stranger to tragedy and great pain!
She that once healed me has now torn me apart,
wading wastelands of despair almost insane.

"Jesus, Jesus there is just something about that name"*
Jesus
He is my friend and shephard
His great love has unfettered
Chains, I'm free
Now as if "devil never even lived"
Jesus' great love has unfettered chains
My life has been bettered
"Difficulties in life are intended to make us better, not bitter"*
In this wonderful country of USA
"Thanking" God, "understanding" his love, "granting" forgiveness, "enchanting" is his name, Jesus I'm "chanting"
For Jesus is my friend
And there Is "Something About That Name"*
Emmanuel, Christ, Good Shephard, King of Kings
Lamb, Messiah, Redeemer, Savior
Jesus, Redeemer
When I look upon His Face and see those loving eyes, happy my heart will be
For my heart now runs on empty
Sometimes feeling condemned,now let
There be today "something in clouds anew"*
