Love Poems

Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart

As I sit, surrounded by Christmas cheer
My mind drifts back to this time last year
The crowd fell away and I saw only you
No more than a glance but my heart somehow knew

Before I met you I'd had my share of sorrow
So I was instantly guarded and full of bravado
You were never fooled and you saw the real me
And I realised I can only be the best I can be

We shared our first laugh, our first kiss, our first smile
And I tried to not love you, at least for a while
We became friends and lovers, I bared my soul
It was only with you that I began to feel whole

When you declared your love you broke down my defences
Happiness and hope overwhelmed my senses
Ever since then our love has continued to grow
And with you by my side I will always know

That you will laugh at my tantrums, you will kiss my tears
You will hold my hand to allay any fears
Each night we lie in bed entwined
Our dreams, our hopes, our souls are aligned

And as we sit in the light of our Christmas tree,
I need to convey how much you mean to me
Let us freeze this moment and take time to treasure
A year full of laughter, love and pleasure

Thank you for all of the love you've bestowed
And although the rest of our story’s untold
I would trade a lifetime without you for our last year together
You have changed my life, infinitely, for the better
================================================
In My Arms, In My Heart

I was lonely and somewhat lost
I wanted a companion and friend, nothing more
I took the plunge, in I stepped
Nervous and unsure, I waded in

Unexperienced and quite unsure
Feeling trepidation, I wondered if I did right
Feeling shy but needing a ladies company
I took a chance, to see what would occur

Surprise, shock and so much joy
I found the woman of my dreams, I won first prize
Gentle, caring, trusting and sensuous, along you came
Into my life, you brought happiness, fulfilment
And everything I had secretly yearned for

Not sure how I would cope and react
From that first meeting I was complete
Such emotions flowed through me
That I believed I would never feel

Beauty, tenderness, faith, desire and love came fast
All my hidden dreams were answered
By your marvellous presence

From that first meeting, who would believe
Such a strong romance would start
When we are together all I need
Is in my arms, in my heart
=======================================
Come With Me

Mystery, it clouds your form
Ecstasy, it keeps us warm
The dance has begun, with but us two
I'll take your hand, I'll walk with you
Take me to depths in the sea of love
Go with me further, never enough
I'll breathe in your perfumed scent
You intoxicate, invade my head

Give in to your senses, here we go
Follow me now, let your heart take control
Our time is short, and death is nigh
To mountains and peaks, we must fly
Leave life behind in our own world
Get away from it all, run with me, my pearl
Forget all your troubles, walk in the moonlight
Gaze into my eyes, stay with me tonight

We need not fear, we must venture on
Forsake loneliness, drink in our love's song
Pure angel of dawn, you've stolen my heart
You illuminate me, pierce the dark
Your purity, it leaves me numb
Your beauty, where does it come from?
I long to touch your smooth, soft skin
To stroke your hair, give you everything

To pull you into my embrace
To hear you breathe, to see your face
To feel your heart beat softly with mine
To hold you tightly, leave reason behind
To draw you in, to taste your kiss
All heartbreak gone, nothing amiss
I'd lose myself inside your eyes
Stay in love forever, mesmerized

Run away with me, barefoot in the sand
Walk by my side, rule all the lands
Hear our hearts beating with love so wild
Our heads spinning with passion, my child
There's untamed joy we can't contain
Hypnotizing ardor we can't explain
I'm Romeo, will you be Juliet?
We can share a bond we'll never forget

We can clasp hands in the twilight
Hold each other, day and night
We can be alone, just me and you
Our souls entwined, you know it's true
We can do anything, if you'll take faith
I'll protect you, I'll keep you safe
We can be together eternally
We can live forever – so come with me
