Love Poems (7,091)

It's so much easier to live in a dream,
or a fantasy of some kind
than it is to open your eyes to reality,
not ever days can be roses and wine,

they say that love is blind,
it's so much easier to believe in Love's sweet lies,
than it is to open your eyes,
and find,

that everyone doesn't always play fair
in games of love and war,
and you don't always get what you wish for
under that star,
And the reality that love sometime dies,
or that the heart doesn't always love wise,
and that it ends sometime,
lovers don't always mean what they say
not every day can be roses and wine



Sometime you have to pay the devil his dues,
they say that some of us are born to lose,
Let me be able to say,
I can take off my shoes and dance in Love's dust,
and play in the rain like a child,
I can still play by the flame,
when love 's fire grows wild,

there are clouds sometime,
but they may have a silver line,
behind them the sun still can shine
through the rain,

and in a mountain,
they say you can find,
diamonds and a gold vein,
not ever day is sunshine,
not every day can be roses and wine

My glass shall not persuade me I am old,
So long as youth and thou are of one date;
But when in thee time's furrows I behold,
Then look I death my days should expiate.
For all that beauty that doth cover thee
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart,
Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me:
How can I then be elder than thou art?
O, therefore, love, be of thyself so wary
As I, not for myself, but for thee will;
Bearing thy heart, which I will keep so chary
As tender nurse her babe from faring ill.
Presume not on thy heart when mine is slain;
Thou gavest me thine, not to give back again.

When she came
it was a murderous carnival
all sea foam and slippery back stars
I lay in the sheets
listening to the mid-afternoon traffic
Brahms never had it this good

My world is like a river
There is no storm to suffer
It's calm and it's smooth
Its wave is tiny and gentle.

Your world is like a sea
It's rough and choppy
Strong wind, huge storms sometimes visit
It's raging and not happy.

In the river, I am a small boat
Visiting the sea is never my goal
In the sea, you are a large ship
And the river is also not your road

The ship and the boat...
The sea and the river...
They are not similar.
Neither are our worlds.
Your world is different from my world.

Written by Hanh

If I was your man
I would help you stand
I would hold you up and pull you out your sinking sands
And I know its hard for you to trust a man
But if I'm anyone, I'm the one you truly can
I know you got your walls
And girl, I understand
You take em all down, let yourself fall
Get your heart broke all over again
Don't take em down for me
Cause I want to break em
I wanna prove to you I'm not the bricks that made them

I'd be your best friend
A shoulder you could cry on
I'd be there til the end
My heart you could rely on
I'd never let you down
Cause I am not a clown
In my kingdom I'm a peasant
And you're the one who wears the crown

If I was your man
You'd never have to feel alone
You'd never have to worry that I had some other women on the phone
Yeah I've made some mistakes
You live and you learn
I've always felt that every fallen leaf deserved another turn
And it was you that flipped me over
You're my saving grace
In a deck that's full of jokers
I could be your winning ace

I'd be your best friend
A shoulder you could cry on
I'd be there til the end
My heart you could rely on
I'd never let you down
Cause I am not a clown
In my kingdom I'm a peasant
And you're the one who wears the crown

I'll ask the moon to serenade you
I'll ask the stars to hum along
As moon beams walk you home

And when you reach your doorstep turn around
Look and listen to what your shadow has to say
Cause this is how I pray

And you will never be lonely
No you will never be lonely when you are far away
Cause this is how I pray

And when you see the clock on the wall
Has it's hands together you'll know my love is here to stay
Cause this is how I pray

Doves at the edge of white time

In the absence of your love
rigid fortune given its due
for now we lack the mettle
to slip the prow
into the citrus night
the vessel no longer sure
of its destination
and plagued with weakness
as time would have it

I recall a time
when the bedpost rang
and fresh were the garlands
in the morning spirit
and lifting with the dew
we would walk the bay
'til the light
played out
and the evening
would have us
no more

Yet let us not swallow defeat
my love
tied as it always will be
as a shadow
turn the ash
turn until
the stem is fresh
reaching upward
ready to embrace
new summer song

And like an eagle feathers white
I will float
high in the air
under the black canopy
studded with jewels
the dreams of all

And like an eagle feathers white
such soft beating wings
under the light of the moon
I will guard you

And like an eagle feathers white
someday you will understand
what "love" is
while I sing
to chase away stormy winds
so that forever
your smile
can warm my heart

There was a boy and a girl who at times they didn't get along
So he sat down and wrote a sad song it went this away
And that away and now right away I'll go away
And you will find someone new and I will cry away my love for you

There was a girl and a boy who at times they didn't get along
So she sat down and wrote a sad song it went this away
And that away and now right away I'll go away
And you will find someone new and I will cry away my love for you

It was a love story so sad but true
A love story that breaks your heart into
There was a boy and a girl
And till this day cry away my love for you
