Text Box: The Valentine Poems

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adrian the Love-poet!

Yes that’s right, Adrian spent a day in W H Smiths being the Love-poet!?!

Actually it was great fun and people, I decided that day, are lovely. Young men telling me how they swoon when they think of her, women describing big hulking men as their sensitive flower. Ah. Slop warning! If all this heart melting stuff isn’t your thing, read no further.

Thanbk you to the Poetry Society for recommending me for this one and to Matt at the Evening Press forgetting my photo and poem on the front cover. That and the coverage by Real Yorkshire Radio and Minster FM are what brought the people in. Here are a selection of the poems:

 

 

Unique

 

 Life is a flower

  And you are my rose

Soft petaled, pale,

Pink

Like our cheeks when we kiss

My heart races even thinking of this

This card I made is unique like you

Please keep this as I wish to keep you

Devastated if you ever left

You make me happy, warm and loved

In everything I do

The garden where I grow

We blossom in the bosom of love

 

 

 Cinquain

 

 My heart,

Very being

Exists only for you

And all the cosmos bursts within

My heart

 

 

 

 

 Secrets Will

 

 This sturdy oak

Star in my universe

I see and feel

       Those rich deep thoughts

Depths of oceans:

Oh wash over me

My Antibes’ sunset

My Chateaux nerf de pap

The rooted mountains of my dreams

“There’s secrets Will

Inside

I know”

A beautiful side

My sensitive love

The special place

Where only I go

 

 

 A Haiku

 

 A blossoming rose

Bright rainbows in my morning

Portuguese sunsets

 

 

 Giggles

 

 Fits of sporadic giggles

When I even think to buy a valentine

Flame cheeked I swoon

If I only think of you

Waves of pulsing beats drive through me

 

 

 Free Verse

 

 Feelings rise to the fore

Everything is in this moment

Alive with the beauty of the whole world

I only have to look at you

 

 

 My Philippino Love

 

 I fly high above green valleys,

Thinking of you

Walking in my heart through luscious groves

Ride wild with me soon my love

Sailing still, here in my mind

When you are warm within my heart,

 We soar

Wide valleys, Panoramic lakes,

                      Tumultuous waterfalls,

All before

Wishing us close my longing burns

Volcano-like

Oh I explode

Longing for you

My dearest love

 

 Clerihew

 

 Harry he does like his beer

But I do love him, when he’s here

Come Valentine night his love will flow

He’ll bring me gifts, I know, I know

 

 Funeral card for a ladies grandmother:

 

 Ever loved, a wonderful woman

Touching our hearts still

God bless you

 

 

 Alphabet poem

 

 Always there when I need you

Better than anyone

Caring and sweet

Daft when you giggle

Energy explodes from you

Deeply dippy……….

 

 

 With You at the White Horse

 

 Returning to that place of beauty

Was magical, with you

Bright breezes blew through to our hearts

Together in this timeless place

Only us in all the world

Let us always feel this way

 

 Blank Verse

 

 My heart it melts when I think of you

The inner self begins to burn

Longing over comes all else

Come hold me close forever yours

 

  Riddle for Stan

(He didn’t put his name on the card with it)

 

 My first is in sure, never in dull

My second is in steadfast and also in true

My third is in amorous also in ample

My last is in passion but not in dilute

 

  Couplet

 

 You are the morning of my day

I live for you in every way

Together all the day feels right

Be with me for the evening light

 

 

 Julie Acrostic

 

 J Just and fair, truly caring

U Unlimited by just mere possibility

L Loving and beauty deepshine in your eyes

I I fall for you again each time

E Every second is another celebration

 

 

 Englyn

 

 You skip and jump about, so puppy like

I know there is no doubt

You’ll be there if I just shout,

Chase your rivals out, out OUT

 

 

 

 From Bride To Be To Groom

 

 Like a beautiful Kefalonian beach, you invite me

You are the brightness that glows within me

My mountain, rooted in happiness

Bells Chime springing hope and confidence in my heart

Granite you are – I am your diamond

Volcanoes burn when I look at you

Melt me               Fill me with fire
