V alentine's Day origin is
because
A ncient Romans
L upercalia Feast
E mperor Claudis II executed 2
men both name Valentine
N ormans celebrated Galatin's
Day- lover of women
T radition that the masses
adapted into their beliefs
I s now a big business
Nevertheless love should be
celebrated
Everyday not just on Feb 14th
Shakespeare wrote about
Valentines Day in a glamorized
way but didn't really
acknowledge the origin of this
day.
NOTE: To whomever reads this
poem I'm not against sharing
love but what I'm against is the
masses choosing to pick one
day to buy gifts for this
particular day for that special
someone. When there is 364
other days to celebrate their
love with that special someone.
MY QUESTION to you would
be..
So why do you chose to use
one day to give gifts to express
your love?
Truly loving someone is amazing
Running away together
Under the stars at night
Everyday is a wonderful experience
Love giving you gifts
One day they will be married
Valentines day is romantic
Everyday that goes by the love grows stronger
I can recall the days
The rain demanded to stay,
Feeling like a child
Longing to run wild outside,
Yet resigned to remain
Watching wistful through a misty pane
At the day raining forever.
Now I can believe the day
The sun beat on the bay,
Feeling like someone relieved
To see you standing in the shine
And resigned to remain
Walking together the seafront mile
Beguiled by your summer smile.
From
Reflections On A Day By The Bay
It was broken,
the thing I cherished the most
But, Love is not a token
So,its natural that I feel hurt,
As life kind of smirked
as I felt abjected
And the worst.
But I am not weak,
Neither I’ll give up
I will move on
With a memory of the past
Lets just see who wins
Either you’ll come and I will
Forget what happened in the past
Or you wont and I will
Forgive and forget my PAST.
But my present and future
Is in my hands, so I make a vow to
myself that I will not think about you right now
Just hope that one day
you realize that what’s gone.
I may not be the best
But perhaps being honest
Is not good for you
I may not be the veteran
But being innocent aint good for you
I am not false
But may be the truth isn’t good for you
So,may be one day I realize
That even though I am not bad
But dreaming about you is not good for me.
Within the voice of our destiny's whisper
My heart can feel its breeze
A voice that's filled with undying love
That brings me to my knees
A voice that rides upon the wind
That's truly one of a kind
A whisper that's written among the stars
We're one day destined to find
A whisper that only we can hear
For we were the two it chose
The time will come when we shall meet
But only destiny knows
Until that day when we'll rejoice
I'll keep listening to the breeze
For one day soon I'll hear your name
As it dances through the trees
Within the voice of our destiny's whisper
A whisper that comes from above
A destiny written since time began
Our destiny's whisper of love
Dawn
Wavebreak
Soon the moon will melt
Into the morning sky,
Soon stars will fade
Into the heavens high,
Soon the night will take flight,
Soon waves will break,
Soon the sun will shake the day awake.
Soon you will open your eyes
And rise to greet a summer sky.
From
Reflections On A Day By The Bay
She saw him on the sidewalk
One evening in the spring
He was tall, dark and bashful
And quite a handsome thing
She never seemed to say a word
Each day as she passed by
He thought she didn't notice him
Or maybe, she was shy
Everyday when the sun came out
She saw him on the street
She wondered if he'd look her way
Or if they'd ever meet
He tried his best to call to her
But he couldn't say her name
He wanted to tell her how he felt
And hoped she felt the same
She saw him standing by a wall
Until it began to rain
For that's when shadows disappear
And vanish down the drain
But one day soon the sun returns
And shines from up above
Then their courtship starts all over
The shadow's sunshine love
Alone am I and don't want to be, I pray for someone to come and rescue me. I
wander along this lonely path and think of those that I've lost in the past.
I seek for someone to walk with me, I look and entreat, for my soul is in despair.
Once I had a mate so fair and refined, she walked with me and soothed my mind,
but now she is gone. My world has become calamity. Now I wander this lonely path,
across mountains and through the pass. In desert places my soul does thirst for an
oasis to drink from on this lonely earth.
I despise the day and rue the night, when dreams come in and stress my plight. The
sun does scorch me, the cold sends shivers down my spine. No one to shade me, no
one to hold me, nothing to make the cold to flee.
My heart is weary and my mind whispers, your name is solo and will always be. My
shadow mocks me as I go, a reminder of long ago, when there were other shadows
not just mine alone. I've become a mad man, I curse the day and wail at night.
Perhaps some day I'll find sweet rest, join the ones I lost in the past and solo no
longer my name will be.
Sometimes twenty-four hours in a day is not enough, an extra hour or two is better to
spend more time with that special someone. The days are slow, the nights are long, just
long enough to dream about her. Having the best of both worlds is incredible, in reality
you get to see a better day when that special person is with you, when you are
sleeping, she is in your world, and together, we can build our dreams. I wish for her to
see how I see her for the amazing person that she is, I wish to be in the place where I
know I can be with her, her future.......
I saw this coming one day or another.
I just didn't know it would come so soon....
I have nobody to run to, not even my own mother...
Might as well lay me down by the tomb...
Without you I'm as good as dead anyway...
I don't even get to see you another day.
I never got that chance to say goodbye.
Finding that your love for me was just a lie...
Go ahead and do what you please.
Because I know one day I will have you begging on your knees.
B Blankets are spread, and the day is fair
E Excitement with you upon the sand
A A number is called to fill each square
C Cards upon the quilt, where the numbers land
H Happy times enjoyed, and ‘Bingo’ shared!
B B- 44 , that I adore, brings the rolling waves on shore
L Let’s pass the s’mores, and count the scores,
A A hotdog shared adds to our fun!
N N-21, we’ll fly a kite, then take a run
K Keep lotion handy for the skin, and now a new game will begin
E Each one we win, we'll have a swim
T The day is filled right to the brim!
B B-52…the sky is blue, and I am glad you came with me
I I- 17….the air is clean, and sun slips down into the sea
N Nestled in your arms, my lucky card says your charms are mine
G G- 29 the breeze is fine, and into the night, the moon will climb
O Oh Yes!!! B-I-N-G-O !!! Love that game!!! And now I win!!

Most days are okay now
The memories have grown dim
No longer every waking thought
The outlook not so grim
But other days it hits me
Like a wave over my head
And I get sucked right back under
These are the days I dread
I'm still unraveling parts of you
That have found their home in me
I'm not completely free of you
I'm not sure I'll ever be
On days like this I hide away
Until the worst has passed
Bending words to how I feel
Writing while it lasts
But you would never know it
And I will never tell
We could never be together
A fact I know too well
You know that I care too much
To let you know it hurts
To ask for more than you can offer
To wish the impossible to work
Maybe one day we'll untangle
As our song has played it's last
Maybe one day it will be nothing
But a memory in the past
The day that you and I locked eyes i fell for not you but your heart, mind, and soul
I dreamed of a long lasting bond that could only be broken by the cause of death
You and I is all that went through my mind from the start of everyday to the end of
every night
But things became complicated when the feelings i had for you were going through
sombody elses mind
Becauselove was so close to binding us together forever I acted with defense, and
misplaced what you felt for me
I never meant to drive you so far away that made seperation between us my enemy
But I ended up causing me without you and you with out me, but one day i will once
again have you and you will have me
We were friends at first
this, i know
I never wanted to fall so fast
now i can't seem to let go.
I know you're already taken
you have a girl to call your own,
but can't you make an acception
leave her to be alone.
I know this is hard for you
and i'm not making it any easier,
but she has hurt you time and again
I can't let you forgive her.
We had so much fun together
it was as if it were the beginning,
I truly thought we were getting somewhere
that i wouldn't end up with nothing.
You said you wouldn't hurt me
that things would turn out fine,
I never thought I'd envy you
for wasting all my time.
That day you looked me in the eyes
and told me it wasn't real,
that was the day i shut down
and forgot how to feel.
I miss you most days
I hate you the rest,
I cry every now and then
i hope it was for the best.
Starting off we didnt know how this would all go, but it turns out we both love each
other so, from the top of your cowboy hat to the tip of them boots, your a simple
country boy that i love down to your very root, you make me laugh, you make me
smile, hoping that it wont be too much longer just alittle while, I know that once im
finally in you arms to stay that our love will grow stronger and stronger each day not
many people do but i know who you truly are, and i also know that in life we will go far
one day when i walk down that isle and i look at you all ill be able to do is smile with
you i know ill be just fine because you understand a heart like mine, when that day
comes and you take my hand and slip on that wedding band, prounouncing us husband
and wife, will be the beginning of new and exciting life, our lives together will take us
where weve never been but baby together we will be till the very end.
