<font color="cyan">Does anyone know any nice love poems?

I don't want something too intelectual, as it isn't for me. I want the meaning to be obvious, with simple metaphors and similes.

Just need some help with a girl, and I reckon a poem could do it!</font>

here sinceyou have not said anything,lol try this

I look in your eyes
And see your sweet love
I feel as though God
Sent an angel from above

To tell you how I feel
Is kinda hard to say
But let me tell you this
You light up my day

Each Day I wake up
and yearn to have your heart
Please grant me this wish
So we may make a start

If you give me your love
I will be the happiest man
and will offer you the world
as best as I can

Love me I ask
of you right here
to have and to hold
and always be near

He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven - W.B. Yeats

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.


It worked for me. ;)
Who needs chat up lines when poetry works a lot better? :D

If it's something non-intellectual and simple you want:


"Song For You"

I've always tried to say those words,
But never could quite carry through,
And tell you how I really feel,
And so I wrote this song for you.

I'll never be the sweetest talker,
Or royalty, with subjects kneeling,
I'm not the world's greatest thinker,
But that won't stop the way i'm feeling.

I could compare you to the wonders,
This humble world possesses;
The feeling of a summers breeze,
Upon your cheek as the wind caresses.
But no wind could ever chill my heart,
And send shivers down my spine,
Quite like each time we meet
When your eyes delve deeply into mine.

I could compare you to the dimonds,
Hidden in the earth below,
I could compare you to the rubies,
That light up rooms with a royal glow.
But never could I value higher,
Mere trinkets of gold and jewel,
Above your warm and radiant laugh,
That warms my chest, my fire's fuel. .

And I'm not the smartest dresser,
Or the fastest runner, light of heel,
And I'm not as rich as I would like,
But that can't change the way I feel.

And I hope that you wont mind, but,
I just cant put down in a single word,
Quite how much you mean to me:
The idea to me is just absurd.

I could compare you to the night,
With it's pearls that light the sky.
I could compare you to the moon,
Always shining, never shy.
But nothing could ever light my soul,
Quite like the sight of your smile,
A ray of sunshine through my heart,
Which no darkness could ever defile.

I could compare you to the sparrow,
Who scorns the ground and wanders free,
I could compare you to the Owl,
Who glide on high over land and sea.
But no Sparrow, Hawk nor Owl
Nor any borne of feathered wing,
Could fly higher than me when in my ear,
You gentle whispers warmly ring.

And I may not be the smoothest dancer,
Or the actor with the leading part,
And I may not be toughest fighter,
But there's no denying what's in my heart.

These words are not the greatest,
To ever grace the sweep of time,
But if nothing else, cherish this,
For my feelings lie within this rhyme.

I pay to you this final tribute;
A thanks for these feelings I never knew,
You've brightened my world beyond belief,
And so I wrote this song for you.

I would gladly post a poem, but if it comes from me or another it is of little use to you. Use the words of your own, because it is your words she will always hear, and those are the ones she should respect. Take the emotions you have and, no matter how ridiculous, write them into a verse, two verses, or a song if you wish. Remember, no matter how fatuous it might sound to you, love can be no more sane, and it takes a touch of romantic foolishness to keep it alive. If you cannot write a poem, then sometimes simple words, or even a look can say all that need be.

More than all the luck to you, and I'm certain she's worth all there is to you.

So show her as such!

;)

<font color="cyan">I've done all my own stuff, but I guess I've got writers block.

I cant get anything I like, and if I don't like it, it will not be seen by no-one else no matter what.</font>
