hey where did my poem go? How about some Shakespeare?

Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
Of his self-love, to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.
But if thou live, remember'd not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee.

I do, though I'm not going to post any of the straight up love poems.

Heres one I did about a year ago after a friend of mine got very pissed when I told her we should probably stop spending so much time together. It did the job.

**

The pressure's building deep inside,
in chambers where my feelings hide,
a force that struggles to break free,
not caring if its killing me.

Volcanic passion rages in the chambers of my soul,
pressure so intense the mountainside begins to roll;
little though that I can do to slow the swift advance,
yet if I hold it long enough you just may have a chance.

The pressure's building every day,
but surely there must be some way,
to turn the flow away from you,
for that I would not put you through.

I tell myself you're married, that this couldn't be more wrong,
the pressure's though they dance to a primal, ruthless song;
caring not for rings or vows or other human things,
it strains and struggles endlessly to show you how it sings.

The pressure's building higher now,
to stop it I'm just not sure how,
hold it though I will, I must,
rather that than break your trust.

Heres another, more about love than than the other I posted, which was about lust.

**

Once upon a dreaming we were shown a sacred truth,
of a life yet come to pass beyond the edges of our youth.
A life of love and family with children at our feet,
and so I've held it close until again we two should meet.

Of late I've come to wonder if our dream was just a dream,
a worn and faded tapestry, now frayed along the seam.
For if what I took as real was a dream and nothing more,
so many years I've wasted, my heart locked behind a door.

Ten years have come and gone since then and I am losing hope,
days and nights of waiting pouring down an endless slope.
So long alone I've been it seems the only way I know,
though through my careful mask, my longing starts to show.

Yet never have I spoken of the secret of our trees,
two kinds there were I'll tell you, should you need a little tease.
Their purpose too we spoke of as we held each other tight,
so long ago while dreaming on that special sacred night.

The only poetry i've ever had a hand in writing that wasn't Goth drivel was of the fridge magnet variety, and i think only one of those would even vaguely be considered a love poem, provided you have a very broad definition of love.

(HINT, HINT!)

Robert, I love this thread and I'm sorry I didn't meet the minimum requirements! The only poetry I wrote about love was in college, was terribly depressing and resides only in my memory and in a box crammed full of my college stuff deep in my closet at home!
What? No one has ever written you a poem? Well enough of that here goes, a poem dedicated to Lori:
You sit and you read all the lovelorn words of others, as you wonder where is my love, when can I complain like everyone else? Sometimes you think to yourself, wheww, glad I don't have to deal with that, I am so lucky. Oh me Oh my, what did that person post! Oh No, that has to go...that will cause a stir. Ha ha, that post was pretty funny, this is easy money. Lori I am, the mighty Moderater...I have the power...I see all, I know all...I feel all. One day, my prince will come, but for now I am the Mighty Moderator, here to see that all is harmonius on the EHarmony boards.

-from Grlnxt-because everyone needs a poem in life.

A limerick is fine, or a haiku...
Or even try to make something new.
Write your own, or borrow something you know...
Please edit your post, and go with the flow.

Oh, give it a try and edit your post! I'm sure you can top this...

Roses are Red...
And Violets are Blue...
You've Won My Heart...
And I'm Thinking of YOU!

Ok, so many might consider that drivel, but it makes for a good note or fridge magnet!
(Can you all tell that I'm running out of stuff for responses? Don't answer that... just post a poem!)
