Love Poetry

In light of Valentines Day being around the corner....



When you stand here before me
With your arms open wide
I know I'm at home
When I look in your eyes
I just want to stay here
Keep holding me tight
With you by my side
We'll make it through the night

I can't help but stare
I'm mesmerized
I feel like a bird
and I know I can fly
To wherever you are
because you breathe me life
You comfort my worries
You silence my cries

All that I want
and all that I need
Right here before me
In the face that i see
A love that's so pure
So simple and true
Its inevitable my darling
I completely love you


- Carrot

At the start . . .you took it quickly from me . . .my heart,

The arrow pierced the Valentine. . .there wasn't time . . .to say wait,
the arrow pierced the Valentine . . .there wasn't time . .to properly date,
. . .and then you were gone.

The reds, the pinks, the "I Love You's",
the cards, the sweets, so much to choose,
to please you, win you, keep you still,
to me you've always been my biggest thrill . . .in life.

But you're gone now aren't you ? Why did we part ?
Come on, it's February, bring back my heart. I need to be in love again.

As our souls recognized one another, our hearts grew ever fonder
For you could search a lifetime, and never feel this wonder
It’s so difficult to say in words, just exactly how it feels
I think I’ll leave it up to fate, to see exactly what life deals

Perhaps in the next lifetime, maybe things will just be so
As love’s put on the back-burner, left quietly to grow
For now I am truly enlightened, aware of just what to say
I wish each and every one of you, a wonderful Valentines day.

I thought i knew what love was, yet wondered why it caused so much heartache.
It made me question if it was really a true love, or just possibably a fake.

Unexpectdedly the question was answered, and now all i see is light,
Everyday is filled with sunshine for there is happiness in sight.

His 'et al's' make me tremble as do the conversations that we share.
I was almost sure i knew love was but this really does not compare.

Is it possible to find your soulmate, for now i convinced they do exist?
I'm not sure i can fight this feeling, its just too hard to resist.

I know there is no escaping this now, i know there is no-one to blame
There is simply no point fighting when you're like a moth is to a flame.

Wherever this journey takes me, there is one thing that i know,
I've made a friend of the rarest kind, and i'm not about to let that go.

Call me a Dreamer
Because I dream of you
Call me a sinner
Because I'd break the rules for you

Call me a thief
Because I'll try to steal your heart
Call me an actor
Because I'll play the part

Call me a fool
Because I'm dumb around you
Call me a tool
Because I'm at your disposal

Call me any day
anywhere, at any given time
You're never a bother
Because you're always on my mind


just something I threw together in the wee hours of the morning just now.

Lyrics I IV V

Call me on my cell phone

tell me where you are baby
ill come runnin to you

send up a bright red flare
just let me know somehow

use morris code
tell me ill start the pick up
and ill hit the road

im drivin
747
choo choo train
10 speed

ENCHANTED

That look in your eyes,
That hint in your smile.
I can tell by your face,
You've known for a while.

A spell you did weave,
Your essence is strong.
I can't shake your beauty,
For you I do long.

I let my mind wander,
My thoughts filled with you.
Don't know what will happen,
Don't care what we do.

As long as I'm near you,
My soul's firmly planted.
Because I know you have me,
Forever,
Enchanted.

You Silly Valentine

Cupid you can’t read me…. You silly valentine!
If only you could…. I’d be in trouble... most of the time!

The arrows you shoot straight at my heart…
Why, they fall by the wayside, then fall apart!

Oh- you’re feeling guilty…. cuz you can’t find my match!

My heart is a secret that escapes you still…
It’ll take a special Valentine to break my will!

Oh silly Cupid, don’t you wish you could see
I’m really not so complicated, but.. shhh… that’s between you & me!

Little things, simple things they brighten my day
I don’t need expensive, that’s all fake …I say

I need peace, I need me time… is this too much to ask?
If it is little Cupid, just kiss my ass.

Don’t send a skinny one…. I’ll take mine with some meat
Oh & can you make him 5’10 or over so I’m not the tall one with heels on my feet?

Oh Cupid…no moody ones...no, not them please!
No vulgar…I hate that… Although…a little is fine
But we’ll save that for the bedroom… between thee & thine.

He doesn’t have to be super handsome a great personality will do
Good moods and laughter…yes that would do!

No jealousy… I’ve done that; it’s really no fun
I know I’m a cute one since lookers abound
That’s no cause for worry…so please stop that now!

You may think I’m picky; I assure you I’m not.
These qualities I look for, is this really so bad?
If it is… Oh hell Cupid…that really makes me mad!

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tears us apart again
Love, love will tears us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tears us apart again

You cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Just that something so good
Just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again

- Ian Curtis

You can say a lot of things about me
Some of them might even be true,
You might say I'm a little bit crazy
But I'm only crazy about you

You can think almost anything
And you might even probably be right
You might think I'm a bit too strong
But I'm only strong, because its your fight

You might have a million questions
And I have answers, to rationalize
If there's even the slightest doubt
Then please, just look into my eyes

I can't get more blunt then I love you
And I can't be more vulnerable then this
All I can do is just stand here waiting,
Just waiting, for that kiss



- Carrot

First....I'd like to apologize for the typos in my last post as I was quoting Ian Curtis...who was the lead singer for Joy Division. He hung himself in 1980. He was only 24. He deserves better than my typos...

He was the same age as Prefontaine. Prefontaine, however, drove his small convertible down a steep hill and somehow crashed into a stone wall. The car flipped over onto him and he bled out. He was still alive when he was first found. This was not a suicide attempt. He did have a few beers.

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE

Next...I'd like to say that I have a difficult time writing verse when it relates to true love and happiness. I'm better at pain and painful stuff. My paintings reflect pain...even my nudes.

But I can try...or at least in my way...

First Love

There's first love and then
There's first love
My first true crush was on a Lisa
Not a Mona just a Lisa

I was seventeen
The summer before university
We met at work
A hamburger, sandwich, ice cream deal

I was a grill cook
She was a waitress
She was very pretty
And had a little extra in the caboose

I was fascinated
She LOVED kissing
I loved kissing her
She liked to give hickeys

It lasted three weeks
Then she went back to the old boyfriend
I was stunned and crushed
I got drunk and puked on Riunite

Come on over here baby, help me stretch this heart so wide,
It's a Valentine you know, and there's room for two inside,
Climb on in beside me, bring your love,your laugh, your smile,
God, I hope you like it here, maybe you'll stay a while.

Kind of cozy isn't it, kind of make believe . . but true,
That's how I think about us, when I'm alone . . with you.

Love you long time baby, long time.

And so he pulled the sides of the Valentine together,
keeping her in his heart, . . . for a long, long, time.
And as time passed, she kept him in her heart as well.
Happiness made them better. Love made them the best.

Yo my Queen Bee
buzzin round my hive
you make mo sugar
any bee alive.

sail on my little honey bee
sail on
when you get tired of sailin
sail back to your happy home

I hear a lot of buzzin,
sound like my little honey bee
she been out making honey
now she makes honey with me

sail on my little honey bee
sail on
I don't mind you sailin
but please don't sail so long.

My Love


My love, your like a dream too me,
I want to sail forever, in your sea.


I take your hand and you take mine,
my mind loses all track of time.


I still remember the first day we met,
there’s nothing about our love, that I regret.


A thousand times, I have touched your face,
when you’re gone, I long for your embrace.


I love you with all heart, soul and mind,
my love, you are one of a kind.


There are many words that I could say,
my love for you grows stronger every day.


I never knew what love could do,
the day I fell in love with you.


My love, I love you.



- Joe Croft

Hands shoved deep in my pockets
I'm staring at my feet
I know I have to face this
This time, I can't retreat

I focus on the ground
Try not to meet your eye
I am the cracks within it
And I'll probably just cry

I can feel your eyes on me
Telling me it's okay to share
The secret I've been keeping
I don't need to be scared

I guess I'm just a little shy
When it comes to telling you
All the things you do to me
When I look inside your eyes

But it all comes down to now
This moment when I face you
I guess there's nothing left to say
Except, that I love you.

I love so much about you
It's hard to pick just one thing
The way you stare back at me too
Makes it hard to think

You have to know
What you're doing to me
I swear to god
You're making me crazy

...In a good way of course

I've made a promise to me
That today I'll take a stand
And not melt in your arms
Or when you touch my hand

I'm going to stand so strong
I'm going to hold my ground
And when you try to touch me
I won't make a sound

I'm going to play that game
That game when we first met
Come on, you remember it don't you?
You were playing hard to get

But at the end of the day
Over a Bottle of Red Wine
I swear to God I'll cave,
And ask you, to be my Valentine


- Carrot

reply to post by CA_Orot
There are times
When you Look at me
and I am unable to speak.

Further into the fog I fall
Crawling on damp ground
Crawling across cut glass
Just to follow you around

Deeper unto the darkness I dwell
A pounding chest the only sound
I can't find nerve to speak or tell
I am speech less and spell bound

You hiss and groan
And you constantly moan
But you don't ever go away

You roll your eyes
Up to the skies
Mock horrified
But you're still here

There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is complain about me

You bang your head against the wall
And say you're sick of it all
Yet, you remain

And then you offer your one and only joke
And ask me "What will I be,
When I grow up to be a man"?

Me? NOTHING!

There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is complain about me

I was a small fat child in a welfare house
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
Fate has just handed it to me

WHOOPEE!

You don't like me but you love me,
Either way you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
