Best Romanceromantic Poems
There I was, a lonely soul, lollin' on a Bermuda beach soakin' up the sun,
Where the sand is pink and the rum swizzles will never be outdone!
Where college goils from New Joisey and New Yawk flock to each Easter,
To frolic on the beaches, find romance and display their comely keister!
From across the way I espied this beauty strollin' along the shore.
I mused, "Is this the steamy summer love that I've been pinin' for?"
The statuesque bikini-clad doll came towards me with a cat-like stride.
I could hardly quell the romantic notions that were wellin' up inside!
I leapt to my feet, pullin' in my gut and puffin' out my puny chest!
(After all! To impress this stunner wouldn't you want to look your best!)
"Hi-ya, big fella", she purred, "I've come to Bermuda for a little fun,
And my ten-day holiday in this lovely paradise has just begun!"
Well, what's a feller to do - I invited her for a Manhattan at the local pub.
Afterwards, we sipped champagne and played toesies in a heated tub!
Later, strollin' the beach, we noted that old man winkin' at us from the moon.
This was enhanced by romantic music serenadin' us from across the lagoon!
Things were goin' so well that I just could not believe my good luck.
Suddenly, it all ended as if I'd been dinged in the head with a hockey puck!
Alas, I had been dreamin' this romantic interlude that was far from borin',
When my spouse poked me sayin', "Wake up and stop that infernal snorin'!"

He comes to me like a warm, gentle summer's breeze,
Tall and strong by nature, good-looking like a prince from a romantic novel.
His gestures welcoming and divine, a man of distinction,
He walked toward the beautiful maiden, embraced her persona with welcoming words.
She smiled shyly reaching towards him with all that was heavenly within her,
They shared a conversation God given, without remorse.
To have come thus far and perchance to have met royalty,
He had that ability to mesmerize you and charm you with a single glance.
From a distant or near kingdom, he blessed her with tenderness and gentleness,
A knight in shinning armour, a shelter from the storm.
The haven which she wished they could share, a palace of dreams,
Leading to a future together, liasons protected by God.
The storm came and went, the sky cleared and the sunshine's rays warmed,
She saw him again, his tall handsome figure, caressed her with words again.
A day's blessing and a night's beautiful memory,
His mysterious manner and kind ways, she wondered whether she would see him again.
The prince from the romantic novel, always welcome.
A royal blessing from the palace.
