Most Commented Love Poems (7,091)

If love was hiding in a bowl of cherries
Sweet and enticing, not like un-ripened berries
Could you pick it out, choose the one
Or would you fumble, unsure of some

How do you know where it could be?
If they were all plucked from a single tree
Would it be the one hiding, seeming shy?
Or the cherry that simply took your eye

Does hesitation make you unsure?
That love could hide if it was pure
Why wait, why not pick the fruit
What if its wrong, does not suit

Why choose, why not sample them all
Would you become the vain mans fool
What is the thought that holds you back?
You cannot sight feelings lying in the pack

Indecision will make it pass you on by
If the one that’s right you will not espy
Your heart, not eyes, will leave one in the bowl
For it is the one that shines, a radiant soul

For the answer is not the beauty of the skin
The outside tells you nothing of what lies within
True love can seem to hide in a single cherry
But beware, for the fruits of life are many

You kissed me softly with the dew of the night
Your face shone smartly,a captivating sight.
In sweet morn, you dry these crystal tears
And in night, you mute my mournful fears.

So winged,so holy,so awe divine
A gift from God written with heavenly signs.
As the sweet morning blazed fulgent red
With dreams uncertain,away has fled.

A happy blossom of smiling skies
Your white countenance of purity divine.
Robed with fire and passion upon thy breast
You lay me down my troubled mind to rest.

Your love is cast upon my fainting will
Rushing streams so wild has broken still.
Celestial are thou,weilding the will of God
The most praised jewel of earthly form.

THE ANGEL

~in a moment. . .
a slight glance happens. . . .
will they
have they
do they-connect. . . .

a quick ripple of thought soften's the eye's. . . .
a moment of chance.......
for two unaware
of thought those eyes share . . . .

what it'd be like fingers entwined
under the moon, beach, blanket an time. . . .
a walk to the market
a bike built for two . . . .

what's the other thinking

could it be you. . . .

that moment could it ever...............
become a lifetime~

Maybe someday you will come my way
In the passing wind where two hearts can play
To seek life’s journey fed by loves lust
Creating dreams that could not turn to dust

Travelling the oceans driven by need
Two thirsty hearts that no longer wish to bleed
I look out my window to glimpse your smile
I feel your impending closeness mile after mile

What passion drives me to risk all for bliss
Passing moments hope to capture a stolen kiss
Does the wind of chance carry my thoughts of hope?
Could horse drawn chariots crest the slippery slope?

Would the winds of time change my thoughts?
Are those precious moments of desire ever caught?
Would a passing clouds whispers capture my wish?
You in my arms that absolute pure heavenly bliss

How I long and yearn for your sparkling eyes
Captured like stars in the night time skies
Your ruby red lips in sunsets orange lights glow
Would entrance my passion and loving gift flow

Then maybe some day I will see your glimmer
In a desert storm cast in lights hazy shimmer
But until that day my heart will always wait
For everlasting passion standing at true loves gate

I was not looking
least twas not my intent...
for my heart I had put to sleep
Safe from all despair.
I had built a fortress,
Inpenetrable around my heart
I was infallible or so I thought..
until one day out of the blue, you appeared
and something in the way you spoke
a vulnerability I sensed in you,
an urgency that awakened in me
feelings long cast asunder,
hidden away to hibernate for evermore..
And yet you were able to break through
and return to me something of great value
that had been missing for so long..
My heart.

Not many personal sacrifices have I made
The cuts of my life show on a rusted blade
A simple honest man, not born to be a Tsar
Yet still my heart had room for one more scar

It’s strange to me why words can seem so deep
For what you sow you must not always assume to reap
The string of the bow decides if the arrow holds sway
I would relinquish tomorrow if you are here today

I continue to float aimlessly, lost as a listless cloud
For I would miss your smile in that lonely crowd
Passion cannot survive in a whirlpool of regret
For history is past but future would not forget

You impassioned my hope with feelings tenderly pure
What solitary fish ever passed by a beautiful lure?
Your request for my heart I could not resist
Why is it sometimes I wonder do you even exist?

So comfort deprived I endure when I stand and stare
What use a magical cupboard when shelves are bare?
No strength left have I to drink from the lovers’ cup
For I have swallowed my dream I no longer need to sup

For me true love could not abide to be bitter
Does not fools gold still sparkle and glitter
I did hold your heart for that moment in time
And for that I am blessed, for was it not sublime

A broken heart is no way to worldly travel
For life’s mysteries you cannot unravel
A hungry fire was never lit without a flame
Crystal waters flow clear, they hide no shame

The Moon’s glow shows it has nought to hide
Tempestuous seas do not question a rising tide
Raging storms never needed to ask to speak
Mountain tops do not care that they are bleak

Does the forest curse if the trees are bare?
A relentless wind would not sit and stare
An earthquake has no sense of human pity
A tsunami cares not if it engulfs a city

What volcano ever spilt lava and compassion?
Would a bitter winter’s cold savour our submission?
Tornadoes care less of empathy for their path
Nature never understands the meaning of wrath

Then why my heart do you continue to rage
Wisdom is the personal sanctuary of a sage
My continuing journey is not of your making
Only I can decide what I am forsaking

Whisper, whisper, to me my tender heart
Do not dwell on what you did not start
Beat vibrantly for that final journeys quest
For true love never sought to hide or rest

I died the other day
Love overwhelmed me
It left me in that place
Called “Unconditional”
It tore away at my soul
Broke down all my barriers
And assaulted my senses

I died the other day
Passion overcame me
It took me to that place
Lovers call “Heaven”
I became swamped
In sensations
Untold and unfound
It broke through my core
And brought a crescendo
Of delight
That exploded
In every corner of my mind


I died the other day
Desire conquered me
Clean through the heart
With the arrow
Marked “Fate”
It took away my breath
Boiled my very blood
And stole all my emotions
It left me in that place
Between reality and sublime
Called “Ecstasy”
It was a glorious death

Mirror - Mirror what do you see
Other than a reflection of me
Do you see all of my sorrows
Or the future of all my tomorrows

The sadness that lurks behind the eyes
The happenings that have made me wise
Lost loves that pains to remember
Or new loves lighting my eyes with ember

Wishful thinking of a permanent love
With hopes of help from above
Lines worn deep from age
Each one telling its tale of sage

Do you see the ravages of starkness
Caused by exposure to others darkness
Hoping for more light to shine through
And that special love meant for two

As beautiful as God's Eternal Wife...
I cannot look upon you...
Your beauty overwhelms my senses...
Suppression of breath...
Skin standing on end...
Eyes raining never-ending...
I tremble at the very thought of you...

My unworthiness is my curse...
Giving countless reasons to change...
And yet my inability to behold your perfection...
Gives me reasons not to....

A winding waterway dripping with cuteness...
How could there ever be such beauty?
Like liquid glass that's cool to the touch...
Your incomparable pureness reflected into mirrrors...
Incapable of dishonesty...
Blind with perfect vision...

I water you...
You water me...
And yet, my thirst is unquenchable....
