Best In Return Poems
Be cute
Be positive
Be optimistic
Hope you get
What you want
If you love
Don't break up
If you don't love
Pretend to love
There's no regret
Of doing what love is
Sincere or not
Loving is love
A gain to return.

Light Verse
Those places I go, you have to bare
I never meant to take you there
Not wanting to break anymore,
We must stop keeping score.
Abundantly you made it clear
Of what you wanted dear.
Displeasing you is my greatest plague
Crushing me with each crashing wave.
We share enough to be sure,
Some things should feel more pure.
Our pieces fit closely in this love,
We come together with just a shove.
What I’m saying here and now
Is I love you so much, so near, and how.
Those places I go, you have to bare
I never meant to take you there.
I’m sorry for troubling our thing.

I'll love you if you love in return
You’re the one I want to see. You’re the one I want to hold. You’re the one I want to kiss. You’re the one I need more then anything. Can you see whenever your never around your always in my mind twisting and turning making me into the perfect doll. Oh how I love you. I feel like i could love you to the point it killed me. Can you see how my heart races how every word you say turns me into a bumbling idiot? Don't you see how I create this work of art that so much emotion then it de before and don't you know it all because of you. If I could ever say anything it that I’m so thankful your mine and I never want to let you goals their something wrong with loving to the point it an obsession? No not in this time, not in this life, not in my heart no. So let me say I love you with a gently kiss. Forever even until after death let me love you and in return love me.

Same In Return
We reciprocate,
Giving out what we want back;
Same receive in return.
(Hopefully.)
This is supposed to
Be way which things will work out
Correspondingly.

My soul aches for you,
but I get nothing in return,
maybe I am just a memory.
I guess what we shared, it ment nothing,
not even enough for you to even care.
Why can't I be with you, to you, It doesn't mean that much.
I get nothing in return, not even enough to get a thought.

Will Receive in Return
My message with you thought I should share
Gracious God is above and beyond compare
I am here on earth and have been a soldier
Who was brave in battle but now grow older.
What I remember about my men the most
Were loyal in duty never leaving their post
Until they all have been properly relieved
After replacements were finally received.
On everyone in battle we always relied
Tried their hearts out until some died
Many of us remain here at home alone
Have grandchildren who are fully grown.
So message to you I am trying to send
Is that even though life comes to an end
About God and love there is lots to learn
What you give out will receive in return.

There is a call to all,
Coming from our Savior.
“Come home safe into My stall,
That ye may find favor.”
With this promise kept,
Shall come healing and joy,
Carried in thy Savior’s steps,
Becoming disciples of His employ.
Though the way be a trial,
Holding faithful ye shall find,
His holy Kingdom shall be thine,
In patience, adorned with Christ.
For He is the way ye should go.
Beholding, ye shall see Him,
Being like Him, and know,
That He is thy eternal friend.
“Come, and be not afraid.
Hold fast to My side.
For I AM here to make thy way.
Together we shall walk above the tide.
"As We return in righteousness,
Ye shall in grace pass this test,
Being one in glory and holiness,
To enter into My perfect joy and rest."

Regale me with your humor
Hold me with your grip
Love me with your heart so strong
And never let me slip
Share with me your wisdom
See within, my heart so true
Do all this for me now, my sweet
And I’ll do this for you

Oh, depths of oceans, eternal skies
Appearing now, before my eyes
I wish to thank you for your gifts
Without your beauty, I shan’t live
Oh, moonlit sky, eternal glow
With a romantic luminary show
Stills my heart to a slowing beat
Provides me warmth, increasing heat
Oh, nature as you’re gazed upon
I hear my heart sing out its song
A world of thanks it gives to thee
For all the beauty that it sees

Could you love me anymore
Could you love me any less
Could you ever be adorn
I find myself
Lost in the tonight
Of just loving you and only you
Fixation caught lost stuck on your view
For I love you
And all that I ask of you
Is that in return would you love me to

Light Verse
Sunday 2025.05.25
This morning, I arrived at the Station,
Gave the Swan Hill V-Line train a miss,
The same train which I travelled
Exactly one year ago.
When I had a relaxing and peaceful time,
At the border of NSW and Victoria.
It turned out I should catch the missed train,
To take me to Kangaroo Flat,
One stop away from Bendigo.
What significant thing about the last trip,
Was I did it without BB,
And came home to find
The back boundary fence of my property,
Was damaged by thieves that evening.
It was also due to that mishap,
Which tied me and BB
For the next six weeks,
When we carried out the project,
"Putting lipsticks on the pig"
Which was named by BB.
The ironic and sarcastic things were,
BB loved me as a friend,
Cared about my safety and well-being.
He kindly helped repairing the damaged fence,
To protect me from further burgeraries.
On the contrary and unintentionally,
I let him entering
And breaking my heart lockers,
Which I installed them more than two decades prior.
He did it very nicely, gently and kindly.
Strangely, his lovely gestures
Triggered and brought out the best in me,
Since then, I have been working hard,
To keep the flame of music passion burning
Now, I played wherever I found there was a public piano.
Five years ago, before Covid,
There used to be twenty plus of them
"Play me I am yours" was the name.
A project promoted by City Melbourne Council.
All was stored away during Covid-19,
Mainly to tackle the issues of hygiene.
Since then, there was no more of them.
If there was any one left,
They would probably be wrecked.

Love In Return
I fell in love with you
But you played with me
You gave me just enough attention
To push me away
I took it as play
And yet I loved you
But you didn't love me back
My heart was confused
I was infatuated
But you didn't love me back
You look at me then laugh
I was hurt
Imagine that you didn't love me back
I am just alone thing bout love
Buy you threw my heart away
Treated it like trash you're just someone who doesn’t love me back
In return I guess I'll just be alone ALAS WIT NO LOVE IN RETURN

Dramatic Verse
Yes, we changed, for we gave too much and received nothing in return,
Seeking to comfort others, yet no one asked if we were okay,
We stayed up late to console souls but cried ourselves to sleep alone,
We changed when we realized that effort is not love, and people take as much as we give.
Friendships fade when we are no longer useful, relationships are just convenient,
We changed when we got tired of apologizing for being too much or too little,
Tired of sending the first message, making excuses for those who have no time for us,
We changed when we learned that silence speaks more than words,
That distance reveals who truly cares, not the love that feels like begging,
That people don't lose us—they let us go, and we began to choose ourselves,
We stopped trying to fix what was breaking us, our peace was worth more,
We changed because we had to, the weight of expectations was too heavy to bear.
No one ever asked what we needed, tired of being strong for everyone else,
Yes, we changed, not because we wanted to, but because we realized,
We were never meant to stay the same, for souls grow and change,
Deep down, we understood that change is a song of survival.
