The Day We Met
I met you on Valentines Day
One year five months twelve days I saw your face
You came down from heaven and opened my eyes
Your skin so smooth, so tender
Smile so bright, so loving
I have thought about you in every way
Just sitting and wondering about that day
We laughed, we smiled
We talked for a long while
That day with you was so great
And everyone passing is only more wonderful
I love you more now, than ever before
One year five months twelve days I saw your face
You came down from heaven and opened my eyes
Your skin so smooth, so tender
Smile so bright, so loving
I have thought about you in every way
Just sitting and wondering about that day
We laughed, we smiled
We talked for a long while
That day with you was so great
And everyone passing is only more wonderful
I love you more now, than ever before
Thinking About You
When I ate today at noon
All I could think about was you
Wishing you was here to do what you do
Wishing I could feed you with my spoon
Hoping someday I'll see your smile again
I don't know if I can take all this pain
Knowing that I am here and you are there
Thinking about the times we had and will not have
You are the best there ever was and will be
There is nothing to explain you, but lovely
Even when I was sad you made me happy
I just don't know what to do
I just hope one day, I get to see you
All I could think about was you
Wishing you was here to do what you do
Wishing I could feed you with my spoon
Hoping someday I'll see your smile again
I don't know if I can take all this pain
Knowing that I am here and you are there
Thinking about the times we had and will not have
You are the best there ever was and will be
There is nothing to explain you, but lovely
Even when I was sad you made me happy
I just don't know what to do
I just hope one day, I get to see you
Waiting For The Kiss
I've never had the chance
To kiss your beautiful lips
To hold you tight all day
To run my fingers through your hair
Or talk to you till the sun comes up
My mind says this won't be so
But my heart knows different
Someday I will do these wonderful things
And never let you go
No matter how long it takes
No matter how many tears it makes
I will see you
Kiss you
And hold you
Until the end of time
To kiss your beautiful lips
To hold you tight all day
To run my fingers through your hair
Or talk to you till the sun comes up
My mind says this won't be so
But my heart knows different
Someday I will do these wonderful things
And never let you go
No matter how long it takes
No matter how many tears it makes
I will see you
Kiss you
And hold you
Until the end of time
Why I Love You
I've never seen you
Or touched your skin
I've never felt your lips
Or held you tight
But I know I love you
Not because of the way you look
Or because of that sexy voice
Not because of the things you say
But because of whom you are
When we meet I will kiss you
And hold you all night
I love everything about you
Because it's you
Or touched your skin
I've never felt your lips
Or held you tight
But I know I love you
Not because of the way you look
Or because of that sexy voice
Not because of the things you say
But because of whom you are
When we meet I will kiss you
And hold you all night
I love everything about you
Because it's you
You're Beauty
Your short blonde hair
The way it floats in the air
Your smile
And the way it makes me feel agile
Your luscious lips
And I can't forget those wonderful hips
Your eyes are so cute
I don't think anyone would dispute
Your cheerful cheeks
Make me where I can't even speak
Your beauty
Is truly like no other
That's why I want you
And no other
The way it floats in the air
Your smile
And the way it makes me feel agile
Your luscious lips
And I can't forget those wonderful hips
Your eyes are so cute
I don't think anyone would dispute
Your cheerful cheeks
Make me where I can't even speak
Your beauty
Is truly like no other
That's why I want you
And no other
Butterfly Voice
The sound of your voice
Is like a butterfly
It guides along
Swiftly, lovely
The words slide off your lips
Like a butterfly flutters its wings
Voice as lovely as gliding in wind
The sound of your voice makes me smile
But this moment soon fades away
And all I have is nothing
Is like a butterfly
It guides along
Swiftly, lovely
The words slide off your lips
Like a butterfly flutters its wings
Voice as lovely as gliding in wind
The sound of your voice makes me smile
But this moment soon fades away
And all I have is nothing
But a Nightmare
Life without you is not life
but a nightmare
A nightmare that eats
my skin little by little
A nightmare that pricks
my soul until I feel no more
Life is not life, without you
but a nightmare
A nightmare that eats
my skin little by little
A nightmare that pricks
my soul until I feel no more
Life is not life, without you
Dolphin's Cry
If I was a dolphin and you were the sea
How would I get to be with thee
Trapped in this land alone and tired
Can't get out from the horrid treachery
Swimming along night and day
Waiting for the time to pass me by
Somebody save me and let me go
Somebody please let me go
How would I get to be with thee
Trapped in this land alone and tired
Can't get out from the horrid treachery
Swimming along night and day
Waiting for the time to pass me by
Somebody save me and let me go
Somebody please let me go
Everlasting Love
What is it about you?
That makes my stomach turn
My heart beat fast
My mouth curl
Is it your beautiful smile?
Your sexy lips
The sweetness of your voice
Or just what whisper me
The many things we had and shared
The sunsets
The candlelight dinners
Our passion and love
The ways we talked and laughed
Were only dreams before we met
Now turned into reality
How I wish this will last for eternity
That makes my stomach turn
My heart beat fast
My mouth curl
Is it your beautiful smile?
Your sexy lips
The sweetness of your voice
Or just what whisper me
The many things we had and shared
The sunsets
The candlelight dinners
Our passion and love
The ways we talked and laughed
Were only dreams before we met
Now turned into reality
How I wish this will last for eternity
Middle Ages Love
I am your knight in shining armor
Your one and true love

And everything to love you
I will protect you with my sword
And treat you like a princess
Give you my castle
And build a kingdom
I will do anything for you
I need you in my life
So let me be your king
And you be my queen
To live happily ever after
And have a story book ending
Your one and true love

And build a kingdom
I will do anything for you

So let me be your king
And you be my queen
To live happily ever after
And have a story book ending
Our Moment
Our moment in life has just begun
The spirit of our souls embracing this world
Keeping our love and freedom sacred
Knowing each and every move can cause disaster
Moving along this path of danger
Living the lives of our souls
The spirit of our souls embracing this world
Keeping our love and freedom sacred
Knowing each and every move can cause disaster
Moving along this path of danger
Living the lives of our souls
Love or Friendship
What do you want from me?
Do you want my love?
Or do you want my friendship?
You confuse me through what you say
You say you love me
But don't seem to care
Why don't we just be friends?
Nothing more
Nothing less
Perhaps you still have feelings for me
But why don't you show them?
Why must you hurt me this way?
I still love you
But I just want to know
Do you feel the same?
Do you want my love?
Or do you want my friendship?
You confuse me through what you say
You say you love me
But don't seem to care
Why don't we just be friends?
Nothing more
Nothing less
Perhaps you still have feelings for me
But why don't you show them?
Why must you hurt me this way?
I still love you
But I just want to know
Do you feel the same?
Best Friends
Friends that watch your back
Friends that play with your heart
All act the same from the start
Before you know it some disappear
Others stay beside you for life
Those are the friends
The best friends
Friends that play with your heart
All act the same from the start
Before you know it some disappear
Others stay beside you for life
Those are the friends
The best friends
Just Friends
Even though we are not together
I care about you more than ever
When we talk I feel so close to you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I have almost forgotten what you did to me
I was hurting in every part of me
I was sad knowing this is how it came to be
But now I am happy that you are there for me
I gave you my tears
I gave you my heart
You made me happy
Right from the start
When I write this now
I start to think
How happy you make me
For you and only you I must thank
I care about you more than ever
When we talk I feel so close to you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I have almost forgotten what you did to me
I was hurting in every part of me
I was sad knowing this is how it came to be
But now I am happy that you are there for me
I gave you my tears
I gave you my heart
You made me happy
Right from the start
When I write this now
I start to think
How happy you make me
For you and only you I must thank
The Land of Dreams
Awake, awake my little Boy!
Thou wast thy Mother's only joy:
Why dost thou weep in thy gentle sleep?
Awake! thy Father does thee keep.
"O, what land is the Land of Dreams?
What are its mountains, and what are its streams?
O Father, I saw my Mother there,
Among the lillies by waters fair.
Among the lambs clothed in white
She walked with her Thomas in sweet delight.
I wept for joy, like a dove I mourn -
O when shall I return again?"
Dear child, I also by pleasant streams
Have wandered all night in the Land of Dreams;
But though calm and warm the waters wide,
I could not get to the other side.
"Father, O Father, what do we here,
In this land of unbelief and fear?
The Land of Dreams is better far
Above the light of the Morning Star."
Poem by William Blake

Love's Secret
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth move
Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears.
Ah! she did depart!
Soon after she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.

The Secret of Love
Love. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear that word? Anger? Romance? Enjoyment? Our emotions are automatically triggered, faulting our judgment at the very moment it crosses our mind.
The Problem
In today's society of television and the Internet, life is exaggerated to its greatest extent. When you wake up in the morning and turn on the TV, what's on? Some soup opera about a steamy romance gone wrong. In the afternoon, we see talk shows about a woman who has cheated on her husband and doesn't know who her baby's father is. Then, in the evening we see either an out of shape husband with a super model wife who never get along or a nighttime drama about men and women having flings.
The Solution
The answer is not simple. After years of watching television, movies, and reading books, we are tainted with false-truths which distort our thinking. Once we find someone, we never stop wondering whether this person is cheating or if they are real.
So how do we stop this from happening?
We don't! We let our lives be our lives and not let our minds get in the way. We try to realize that television is just television and the Internet is just the Internet. Just because Sally Jane's husband is cheating on her doesn't mean that your boyfriend is doing the same. Not all men are the same, no matter what your mother told you. And sorry guys, but not all women are the same either.
So where do I find love?
Love is everywhere! It's at the grocery store, at the gym, even at the gas station. There isn't a set time or place where love happens.
What if I meet one person, then a few months later fall for someone else?
Just because you believed you met the perfect person, then later find you don't match doesn't mean you are a bad person or that you should give up. In fact, check it off as a learning experience. The more bad relationships you have the more you grow as a person; you start to learn more about what your likes and dislikes and how to find out more.

Romantic Evening Ideas
It's that time of year again, to romance and be romanced, love and be loved and show appreciation for the one we hold dear. The day just doesn't come often enough for most, but comes far too often for others. But have no fear, the day can be enjoyed by all with a little evening magic.
Unique Romantic Evening Ideas
For those who love to change it up every year, these ideas are the not so common, but worthy of a try.
1. Rose petal bath. One of the most beautiful things in this world along with one of the most relaxing; nothing could be better, except experiencing it with the one you love.
2. Candle light serenade. Everything is beautiful in candle light. So even if you don't have the voice of Frank Sinatra, it'll still be romantic.
3. Night under the stars. Sitting under the stars with a significant other is amazing. Looking at the universe together, talking, is something everyone should experience.
4. A stay at a hotel. Even if you don't leave town, just being away from home together is enough.
5. Buggy ride around town. Ever take a look at your town on a buggy ride? It's a thousand times more beautiful.
6. Notes of love. Leave notes about how much you care and love your significant other in the car, kitchen, living room, everywhere you can think of.
Traditional Evening Ideas
Be it an anniversary, Valentine's Day or even Christmas, some just like it old fashioned, but still romantic. For those searching for the right idea, but just brain-freezed, search no farther.
1. Romantic dinner out. For two please -- any extra is just that much more non-romantic. And of course, stay away from Chucky Cheese and McDonald's.
2.
3. Romantic dinner in. Be sure to use candles (not to cook with!) and be a gentleman/woman while serving and sitting.
4. Watching a movie together. Even if the movies not romantic, the night still can be. Sometimes a moment alone holding each other is all a couple needs.
5. Walk along the beach. Beaches are always beautiful, but when you with the one you love, it makes it all the more wonderful and special.
Unique Romantic Evening Ideas
For those who love to change it up every year, these ideas are the not so common, but worthy of a try.
1. Rose petal bath. One of the most beautiful things in this world along with one of the most relaxing; nothing could be better, except experiencing it with the one you love.
2. Candle light serenade. Everything is beautiful in candle light. So even if you don't have the voice of Frank Sinatra, it'll still be romantic.
3. Night under the stars. Sitting under the stars with a significant other is amazing. Looking at the universe together, talking, is something everyone should experience.
4. A stay at a hotel. Even if you don't leave town, just being away from home together is enough.
5. Buggy ride around town. Ever take a look at your town on a buggy ride? It's a thousand times more beautiful.
6. Notes of love. Leave notes about how much you care and love your significant other in the car, kitchen, living room, everywhere you can think of.

Zodiac Love Symbols
Zodiac (which means animal) symbols, also known as Sun signs or Astronomical signs, are patterns of creatures throughout the night sky which is known as the "Zodiac Belt." The belt is an enormous circle which the sun "moves" around from month to month to transcend the energy of each constellation and transmit the celestial radiations to Earth.
Zodiac signs are determined by an individuals birth date. The sign represents the placement in the sky at where the sun was during the time of birth.
An individual may find their personality or compatibility with another by knowing their symbol.
Each symbol may be divided up into four elements with three signs in each which are comfortable with another.
Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. These signs are usually energetic, enthusiastic and impulsive (fiery personality).
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. These symbols are generally materialistic and practical (down to earth).
Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. These are communicative, oriented on the mental plane and social.
Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Water signs are responsive, emotional and sensitive.
As for a true love match -- Fire is most compatible with Air and Earth with Water. They have just enough in common and enough uncommon to have each relationships last forever.
Each sign may also be divided into basic modes of energy and modes of operating.
Cardinal Signs: Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, Libra. These signs represent force of beginning and are outgoing, initiatory and active.
Fixed Signs: Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus. These symbols represent the force of holding steady. Fixed symbols are usually stable, resolute and determined.
Mutable Signs: Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo. These signs are the force of fluidity. They are generally adaptable and versatile.

Romance After Children
After having children, many believe that romance is a thing of the past. It doesn't have to be. Romance can be had many different ways. The more common is a moment alone under the stars or a romantic dinner. However, a night full of laughs and fun is something far overlooked, but has major romance capabilities.
Night of Laughs
For a night of laughs, many places and things are possible. The most important is that everyone agrees on what to do, including, and maybe even most importantly, the children.
1. Night at the circus. Although the circus doesn't seem like a place where romance would happen, it certainly does. The circus is a place where the children would be amused and parents laugh and have fun. It's the perfect place to talk about when it's over and a great romance starter.
2. Board Games. Playing games together is a great way to get the whole family involved and have laughs.
3. Sports. This is the perfect way to get exercise and laugh together, as long as it's not too competitive. Bowling, miniature golf or just a game of hoops is a great way to have fun.
Night of Fun
This of course doesn't mean that the laughing won't be fun, nor does it mean that laughing won't be had at these wonderful places.
1. Hiking. It's the perfect way to get outdoors, exercise and have time to talk and be together as a family all while admiring the beauty of nature.
2. Skiing. This is a great way to have fun and be away from home for a while, as long as the children are old enough to participate.
3. Camping. Just like hiking, this is a great outdoors experience for all the family.

I Can't Without You
I Can't Without You
The cold is unbearable
I love it, as long as I can feel sultry droplets rush it away
It’s like I want to smash the phone in half
Though it’s not anger
I can imagine things in many other ways
Better but stranger
But I can’t make out a verse without drifting off
It’s like when I forget to breath
Or laugh for no such thing
And I wonder in how many ways I can apologize
For not wanting to live life
For feeling like I need to blast away from my shadow
That would only leave you in a tank of oxygen too shallow
I battle this confusion, these tears, not knowing why
Just like I don’t know why I look up to find the moon every night
Or can’t figure out why I only see you as perfect
Why you would want to stay mine
Like I can’t question why I can endure hard buckets of pouring rain
But tremble at little gusts of wind
Paranoid my window will come crashing in
Just like I keep telling myself life will turn out alright
When truthfully I don’t know
I only know the cold is bearable
As long as you’re here to keep me stable.

Today I went to class
Today I went to class
I did nothing but stare and wonder
About all my toil and timber
I thought about what you did to me
I thought about how it came to be
I felt so lonely at the time
I felt like I didn't have a dime
Now I'm musing what to do
Knowing I will always think of you
I did nothing but stare and wonder
About all my toil and timber
I thought about what you did to me
I thought about how it came to be
I felt so lonely at the time
I felt like I didn't have a dime

Knowing I will always think of you

I love looking back to where we began,
seeing us as we were at the beginning,
then slowly leafing through the memories

us to where we are today.

wondering what we'll find
in each other, in ourselves,
before another year has slipped away.
But best of all, I love being with you
where we are today,
together writing the pages
we'll remember tomorrow.

Will You Love Me When I'm Old?
Will You Love Me When I'm Old?
Life's morn will soon be waning,
And it's evening bells be tolled,
But my heart shall know no sadness,
If you'll love me when I'm old.
Down the stream of life together
We are sailing side by side,
Hoping some bright day to anchor
Safe beyond the surging tide.
Today our sky is cloudless,
But the night may clouds unfold;
But, though storms may gather round us,
I know you'll love me when I'm old.

All I Want Is You
All I Want Is You
I'll tell it rather simply;
I'll say it plain and true-
A single thing is all I want
And all I want is you.
There are no other riches,
No treasures or possessions
That ever could compare with you,
My fondest of obsessions.
You are the very air I breathe,
The ration that sustains me.
You're all my thoughts tied up as one,
The laugh that entertains me.
You're all that life need ever give,
The maximum that's due.
If I could ask for anything,
I'd only ask for you.

A Love Of My Own
A Love Of My Own
I would rather have someone to love me,
A spirit my heart could embrace
Than to have all the gold in the mountains;
Such treasures cannot take the place
Of a love which would always be faithful,
A someone who really would care,
Who'd be part of my joys and my sorrows,
My secrets and struggles to share.
I wish I had someone to love me,
A heart to whom love I could give,
For then I would welcome tomorrow
As love offers reason to live.
I need to have someone to love me,
A someone whom I could love, too.
Out of all of the world's lonely people,
Could my special someone - be you?

The sacred fruit - A poem about the lost of a girls virginity by rape.
The sacred fruit of your soul was lost
Taken unrightfully, stolen
It hurt immensely
You shared the holiness with others
To rid the raunch treachery
Then met a man who treated you horribly
Abused you, hit you, took control of you
I came and pleased you
Treated you well, made you happy
Shared our thoughts
Entered each others minds
We talked about memories
Things we had
Things we want
What we need
We laughed
Cried
Smiled
The love we had
The love we have
I want to be with you till the end
I want to give you my fruit
And share my wine
