Love poems
Scenery of love
The door to my heart
had been locked for so long
I did not let anyone in
I was not that strong
The path of my soul
overgrown year by year
Lines of withering weeds
representing my fear
My garden was fading
My buds did not bloom
No flowers could grow
in my dark and poor room
In this garden I wandered
lost deep within my heart
I did not dare to love
I set my feelings apart
I did not see an ending
Neither a beginning, nor a start
Then I met you, Love
The Master of sensuous Art
I was an unpainted canvas
Uncoloured, without any glow
You painted me with love
You let your colours flow
I am forever grateful
Till my very last day
That you guided me back
That you showed me the way
Today, my garden is full of
luxuriance and fragrant greenery
And your painting
the most beautiful scenery
The buds are blooming
No weeds along the line
I am so very happy, Love
That your inspiring path crossed mine.
Scent of the past
There is something in the air
I will feel it till the last
That familiar fragrance
the scent of the past
It brings life to memories
buried from a long time ago
Moments that touched my soul
and now makes my eyes flow
Cause I have seen that smile before
that wonderful glint in your eye
You are forever in my presence
cause our love can never die
When I close my eyes and remember
those memorable days of my bloom
I feel that sweet and lovely scent
the smell of your exquisite perfume
The way it touched my senses
Oh, how can I ever forget?
The way you made me live
from the very first moment we met
How soon those glorious days went by
Our time ended way too fast
I hold your pillow so close, so close
and feel the scent of the past.
Blossoms in May
When you were in my presence
I bloomed like a day in May
Your embrace was like a stormwind
How I loved to swirl away
Your touch gave me visions
Sensations from another reality
Dreams I could never imagine
An eternal state of immortality
As the night closed in...
A dusk I wish we could have forsaken
You showed me the dawn
You awoke what could never be awaken
You are the everlasting ocean
It is the depth my soul craves
To reveal your deepest desire
To drown in your waves
Let me swirl once more
Let my colours brighten your day
Let me bloom anew
Let me be your day in May.
My treasure trove
Beloved, take this rosy hand
as I curtsey in front of thee
Let us swirl among the flowers
Dance away on the hills with me
Are you as smitten by me
as I am breathtaken by you?
Savour this sweet nectar, Dear
Be in total rapture by this brew
Dance with me till sunrise
barefoot and naked on the moor
Capture this moment forever
Give me memories to adore
Rest with me in the arbour
among violets so blue
Let me slake your longing thirst
with the petals' morning dew
Embraced and lulled by you
dreams come true in this grove
I wished for an insignificant fortune
I found a perpetual treasure trove.
Memories under an old oak tree
As I sit here under the old oak tree
All those memories of you comes back to me
Sweet memories of you which me forever enchants
Sweet memories of you and our everlasting romance
Our love is eternal The flame will forever be burning
Our journey through the centuries is a travel of learning
Learning how absence can make love grow even more
How longing and waiting makes me you forever adore
Loving you is like swimming in raving oceans
Will I drown into those waves of emotions?
You are my island which gives me protection
Embracing me on the shore of affection
Even though our love seems impossible to be
I know we will embrace each other in the ever lasting sea
Where the water lilys represents our growing love
And how we cherish each other like the flying birds above
Those raindrops which falls down on my face
are your fingertips caressing my cheek with such wonderful grace
And when I lay down on the meadow to rest
I close my eyes and lean against your chest
Like the sunbeams you kept me warm when I froze
Like the flowers on the meadow I was your wild growing rose
A rose dependent on the nourishment you gave
A rose which color will never turn grave
Being your lover is like walking in a desert storm
So mighty and strong yet so lively and warm
Those desert nights so cold and unforseenable
bring us closer so close it is unbelievable
If my soul feels like a solar eclips
If my bright and sunny mood ever dips
You will be my corona which brings life to my sun
and our bodies like lava when we are melting into one
This night is so quiet and serene
as I sit here under the old oak tree
The sky is dark and moonlit And then I suddenly see
A shooting star it´s gleaming will soon cease
Knowing you saw it too leaves my heart and soul in peace.
Tale of Woe
The poetess' words written carefully
In her eyes there is a hidden glow
Her heart is bleeding tears of sorrow
She is the author of the tale of woe
The soul is bruised and wounded
But can there be wisdom without scars?
Would there be a sky or heaven
if there were not any stars?
How can the wind ever be playing
among the swirling leaves in an autumn rain,
if the landscape had not been dying,
and sacrified in terribly fading pain?
A heart can be extremely broken,
crying of what it could not sustain
But nothing can be compared to
the feeling of healing again
Courage is the foundation of my bridges
Hesitation the streaming river below
But I am keeping my head above water
and will never write another tale of woe.
Awakenings
We have spent so many days...
We have crossed so many ways...
Will I ever comprehend
Will I ever understand
why you turned away
Now you bid me farewell
leaving me in hell
No reason to pretend
Good things always end
I was not worth the stay
Do you see the tears that I cry
Why don't you ask yourself why
You darkened the light,
killed what was bright
You stole the end of my day
There will never be a reason
No one deserves this treason
I brought flowers to your room
A coloured bouquet in bloom
now fading into gray
I gave my life to you
I fell in love anew
I realize it was all in vain
I am left alone with my pain
Once again I am led astray
I will treasure those days...
I will cross new ways...
And I will comprehend
but never understand
why you turned away.
Tunes of Love
Glancing at you
caressing the bow
You move it so gently
You play it so slow
You make me weak
with a beautiful Sonata
Seduce me with the tunes
of an excellent Cantata
Tunes of Love
Our passionate melody
Let me drown, let me die
in your fateful symphony
You are the Master
The lord amongst lords
Perfectly you perform
my sensuous chords
You make me shiver
when you touch my strings
When you play my notes
The heavenly angels sings
No beauty can outshine
this love, so ecstatic
A masterpiece of nature
So pure and melodramatic
And when you no more can play
the tunes I so deeply require
We will forever be associated
in celestial, everlasting desire.
Devilish games
How your presence affects me
I lay bare, revealed and unprepared
As I stand here before you
An undressed soul, naked and scared
Scared of my own feelings
puzzled emotions swirling inside
Released from the fathomless bottom
I am conquered and can not hide
I am standing at this fatal edge
where love has died and will arise
Hypnotized by the depth in the abyss
As the mesmeric darkness in your eyes
I fall for all I have lost and forsaken
Falling so enchanted and free
No more limits, no more bounds
I offer to you the entire me
I may hit the absolute rock-bottom
My life is over as I surrender and fall
But ending with your arms around me
is the most beautiful death of them all
I am seduced by this lethal attraction
Playing venturous games with my mind
I can shut my eyes to your beauty
but my soul is too aware to be blind
It is too late, there is no turning back
I am throwing myself off the shelf
I am doomed and cursed forever
I am in love with the devil himself.
My favorite novel
You are like my favorite novel
each chapter has a surprise in store
the further I read
your pages fascinates me more
But are you a documentary
or a tragedy like Don Quijote?
Or a wonderful love story
with the most passionate plot?
You are like a myth
with all the mysterious signs
That is why I fell in love
when I read between your lines
Mountains of West
River streaming down the mountain
Framed by forests in green
Rocks surrounded by torrents
Such beauty has never been seen
The rapids rush down your country
Playing hide and seek like you and me
Enclosed by fragrant blooming azaleas
resting in the shadow of the redbud tree
Swing me beneath the weeping willow
Let me absorb the air of your land
Run with me along the thriving riverside
Draw secret love signs in the sand
Lay your head close to my bosom
Let me caress you slowly to rest
Gaze with me upon the ridges
Show me your mountains of West.
Bittersweet harvest
How it hurts...how it hurts to burst inside
Without being able to scream, shout or cry
How painful it is...the tornment of being alive
To live a life and not being afraid to die
How aching it is...how it aches to fall in love
Without being able to caress the lover's face
How torturous it is...such pain to have his heart
but not being able to sleep in his embrace
How grievous it is...how it grieves me so
to be offered the moon, the stars and the sky
How agonizing it is...the agony deep inside
knowing I will not gaze upon them before I die
How sorrowful it is...the sadness in giving
when I can not see the happy glint in his eye
How mournful it is...how I regret not knowing
if he burst within too when we said goodbye
How lamentable it is...how I mourn our love
Hear my heart's deplorable beating melody
How bittersweet this is...how poisonuos it is
to reap the harvest of this melancholic tragedy.
Hesitation of Spring
Love is the most precious gift
and some say it is for free
I could pay a fortune for the utmost
The moments you spent with me
The wind never stopped playing
among the shivering leaves within you
It only stood still and hesitated
and then began to play anew
I will always be with you
as the warm breeze fondles your hair
As the wind drying your cheek
if you ever cry in despair
You were the gardener of Spring
Masterly and with a brilliant way
You turned Winter into greenery
and made the garden bloom in May
You made her bloom eternally
So colourful and fragrant
You were the guidance to the wanderer
You were the residence to the vagrant
Days will pass and vanish
New mornings will be born
The past will never be forgotten
The days you beautifully adorned
Let the wind lead you
Follow it wherever it may go
Why does it hesitate in Springtime
Tell me, why is it so.
Midnight encounters
I live in a world far from reality
A secret hideaway it seems
I go to you when I close my eyes
I meet you in the land of dreams
The sunlight brings me nuisance
It hurts me to be awake
Only the dark beyond midnight
is what eases the pain of my ache
In this hiding place you are mine
like my heart and mind are yours
There are no earthly barriers
There are no closing doors
In this spiritual realm of passion
there is no irons to keep me chained
In this paradise for lovers
no questions needs to be explained
How can I ever live for the day
when I am an enemy of the light
I am a believer in the evenfall
Dreams come true past midnight.
The Essence of Love
Eyes full of passion
gazing at me
Playing games with my images
Far from a tolerable degree
A dimly seen of Heaven
Feelings I can never forsake
My inner aurora borealis
An emotional earthquake
My feelings are indescribable
You are my metaphor
Discovering my essence
Conquer and explore
Love is the Ultimate
The source of the breathtaking
A revolution of passion
pain and explosive aching
The entire me bursting
I surrender and fall
"It is better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all."
As I bid you farewell
It is with sorrow in my heart
I bid you farewell today
Cause it causes me such pain
Just vanishing away
The love I felt for you
I have never experienced before
So I am shading tears
when I am closing the door
You touched my soul
in so many ways
you made me cry
so many days
But my memories of you
which I will treasure
deep in my heart
Will be characterized
by our beautiful love
The finest of arts
Your way of moving me
towards new directions
was really something new to me
you made me open up my eyes
you actually made me see
That love can grow
although the distance
is far, far away
That love can grow
even if I was not sure
I would see you some day
So was it just an illusion?
Or could it have been
something great?
I really don´t know the answer
but I guess
this was our fate
You held my heart
in your hand
I was all yours
in our secret land
Why did you throw it away?
My greatest gift to you
My deepest and pure love
was nothing but true
My heart is bleeding for us
red, red tears of grief
Autumn has reached our love
like a tree which has lost
it's last leaf
So when I am releasing you now
When I let go of your hand
See me as a love letter
written in the sand
A love letter
which meant so much
when someone wrote it yesterday
but now is gone
since the billows have
effaced it away
So it is with sorrow in my heart
I bid you farewell today
My mind tells me to go
but my heart begs me to stay
I loved you a second of eternity
But you will always have
a special place inside of me
A secret room I will unlock
from time to time
when I feel sad once in a while
And I know deep in my heart
that the memories of you
will make me smile.
View from a Window
Looking out my window
The most beautiful view
A garden full of syringas
purple, white and blue
How I want to share this with you
Let you see the beautiful things I see
Catch this moment forever
And let you be a part of me
Swing me beneath the branches
In the shadows of an old oak tree
Show me all your hidden treasures
and share them here with me
Swing me to the sky, Love
Let the breeze catch my hair
Spreading the petals of the lilacs
and let their fragrances fill the air
The garden will soon fade and wither
and the syringas lose their scent and die
But you showed me love is eternal
when you swung me to your sky
If I show you the view from my window
will you share your soul and how it gleams?
If I tell you all my wishes
will you make reality of my secret dreams?
Love letter from a fading
I am writing you a letter
A love letter from a fading
Grey nuances on pink pastel
Colours of love beneath the shading
Letters changing into words
formed by love and sorrow
Moments from the past
when a today became a tomorrow
Have you ever felt the fiery heat?
The fever of love in your veins?
Have you ever given so much
that ashes is all that remains?
I know love can be unanswered
but I don't want to die bereft
I wanted to tell you so badly
but changed my mind before I left
Extinguished by the fatal flames
A secrecy never meant to be revealed
A letter written in blood and tears
And the fading...everlastingly concealed.
Words of perishability
Cold, so lonely and cold
as I wander all on my own
Bald, so naked and bald
but I should have known
Illusions, your love an illusion
as the rainbow's mythical end
Weak, so tired and weak
as the shoulder you'll no more lend
Closing, my eyes are closing
I'm to tender and don't want to see
Crying, I can't stop crying
I don't want to be involuntary free
Difference, what is the difference
when you don't warm me at night
Helpless, feeling so helpless
there's no life in the words I write
Go, just leave me and go
and don't turn around as you do
I may be cold, weak and crying
but I will find my words anew
Forgiveness, I know I'll forgive you
and there is nothing I will ever regret
Hurting, but my heart is hurting
must it be so painful to not forget?
Love's sweet Bouquet
Aching and bursting
a love never meant to die
Pouring and shimmering
as the tears I should not cry
Intoxicating and savoured
as Chardonnay from an early year
Embracing and soothing
as the dark nights I should not fear
A love so euphoric
and no, I should not really cry
Yes, its aching and bursting
but I've seen true love before I die
Memories and reminiscence
tastes sweet as our love's bouquet Glimmering and sparkling
as the glass I drank from yesterday
Lonesome and saddening
as it always is to say goodbye
Arduously and heart-rending
as the tears I never meant to cry.
Glass of Sand
My heart is captured in a sandglass
small pieces running through my hand
Like the days passing by so rapidly
the foundation has turned into sand
The waves of time just a memory
along with the castles on the shore
What was visual in the eve's sunset
will be seen in the sunrise no more
My heart is conquered and lonely
like the hours in sandcastle land
Life has no significance anymore
I am caught in the glass of sand.
The Beauty will remain
How could I have known
when I had never felt
How could I move on
when I had never dealt
How could I see Beauty
with eyes covered and blind
How could I be a seeker
not knowing what to find
You brought me the feeling
and now I finally know
You helped me to deal
to be able to let go
You unfolded my blindness
to share the Beauty with you
You guided me on journeys
and made me receive anew
A seeker may be lost and lonely
but his love of adventure sustain
You made me the finder of felicity
And the Beauty will always remain.
Reunion
The feelings I feel deep inside
have never been explored before
How I knew as he passed me by
The soulmate I had been searching for
Yes, it saddened me to see him go
but tears are meant to the predictable
Yet, our love will survive so much more
so another encounter is inevitable
A love so intangible
like the angels elusive caress
I will always bring them with me
The breathtaking qualities he possess
No, the feelings I feel deep within
can only be understood by him I adore
How I knew as you passed me by
The soulmate I had been looking for.
Emerald Eyes
He walks with a cold breeze within
frozen feelings tormenting his heart Emotionally killing is the wind
which whirls and tears him apart
How can he brandish the sword
when he lost the bravery to dare
How can his heart be ardently in love
when it has lost its flaming flare
Dark shadows embrace him at night
as he sleeps beneath a thunderous sky
Scared and lonely he's fumbling around
but his frozen heart has no ability to cry
Gazing into her emerald eyes, his salvation
Just as the short but warm moments of love
But he renounced love a long time ago
and has to suffer the consequences thereof
Poor is his beautiful but lonely soul
A dark shadow wandering with no aim
Oh, Knight, with such a sad within
what extinguished your fiery burning flame?
