Old Love Poems

An Old Love Story

They are
The pages of an old love story
Earmarked, faded yellow,
Moments underlined
Highlighted in life’s colors

The words are still clear
Feelings vibrant
Hint of mystery
A “chance” meeting
A sly whisper
A stolen kiss
Never returned

The story
A non-fiction homage
To love’s tenacity
A roller coaster ride
Shrieks of laughter
Silent tears

A soft wind riffles the pages
As they walk, slowly
Hand in hand
Quoting their favorite lines
From the pages
Of an

Old Love

Old love, old wine
The more you taste
The more you drink.

Silly Old Love Songs

Those silly old love songs from decades past
Still meander through in my mind
Those love songs that speak softly of the thrill
Of a blossoming new romance
That promise “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney
The definition of what true love is
“Love Is A Many Splendored Thing”
And Perry's “Can't Help Falling In Love”
Am I dating myself... perhaps
But these

THANKFUL FOR OLD LOVE

Today I’m thankful for old love 
and for me….
what makes old love so wonderful 
is….
how sometimes it’s as young as it used to be.

My Love Said Mistake You

I am happy with your say bad and I am happy with your sadness

If we ask for an answer, I will give everything

The staring eye is your eyes and It is your eyebrow and the bend of your hair

All from  is  the government of your love that I am in pain

I'm sorry that

Old Love Letter

We watched Grandma walk to the podium…
With tears filling her eyes…she looked up and smiled lovingly….
“I’d like to read a note.” She said 
“before he became your dad and your grandpa…my husband gave to me.”

“I received this from him years ago…it was on our wedding day….
and just like me this note is a little older

I Am Old

The time has arrived so soon,
When I am eighty-year-old,
When I am bald with shining head,
When I have nice smile with new dentures,
When I have new hearing aide and new pair of glasses,
Will you still love this new bionic man?

Will you wait for me at the door when I go out?
Will you stick around even I

Old Love

As long as the ashes of our old dying romance burn,
I keep inhaling what is left of what it is I yearn.
As long as he is still around, there is still more from him to learn.

Heart To Heart

Light through window-
my friend waits
on another table
but affections stirred.
Seasons ago
our lives got in the way
of what could have been.
Still after a few minutes
she comes to me
and for a moment
we’re together.
Old conversations shared
find new life
and now she’s part-time
caring for her daughter
at home
(I saw her daughter once
at the restaurant once)
and yes I’m still writing.
She wants to buy
my

Amor Litteras In Antiquis - the Old Love Letter

Velvet paper tinctured pink,
A red rose at its crest;
The whittled feather, bathed in ink,
Set to bare its best.
A lambent candle close at hand
With dancing, flitting flare;
Where evening translates its command
And nothing stirs the air.

Words are authored, truly writ,
Where, from the soul they flow;
As on the page they snugly sit,
Affection to bestow.
Filling out each careful line,

Burning Old Love Letters

Above all comes sorrow,
burning old love letters
in ashes of time's arrow.
Above all comes sorrow,
how I was strait and narrow
and listened to my elders.
Above all comes sorrow,
burning old love letters.

Always the Rain

Our night, our walk, our song,
Our words, our voices talking all night long.
Into the next day we stayed - then sweet rain came.
Until the end of time we lovingly remain.

Your Best Four-Line Light Verse
L. Milton Hankins

A Letter To My Old Muse

The saddest thing happened to be 
When I saw you in my dreams 
I was so happy I couldn’t sleep 
That's why I wrote this at three
Everything was perfect for me 
realised how happy I could have been 
If I ever told you how I feel 
Even when the years pass yet still
And you are

The Same Old Love Story

The same old love story


It's the same old story in a different light.
It's the same old story of time going by, 
But who can say what will come of you and I.
Let's not just be the same old story they tell to pass the time.


When are we waking up to how much this will cause
