One Hundred Love Sonnets
I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
Saying "I love you" is a hard thing to do. You might be worried if you are really expressing your truly feelings or if you are being pressured into it. Everyone has their own time when they think that it is appropriate to say I love you. There is no right or wrong time. However, it is hurtful when an individual makes himself vulnerable and says, I love you, and his words are not returned. Sometimes it may be a simple act of courtesy to return the sentiment. On the other hand you may be setting him up for false expectations about the potential for a relationship.
I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

Thoughts of you surround me.
You're the beating of my heart.
The love you give defines me.
My life is no longer dark.

Every time you say I love you,
My heartbeat goes insane.
The sensation of your love for me
Is almost like a pain.
Falling in love is the best feeling ever. You learn a lot from your partner. Sometimes it's easy to say I love you, but it's hard to prove it. Nowadays, love is being used as a clone. Love is...
Again I'm sitting with pen in my hand and paper in front of me,
Breaking all the doors, trying to set my feelings free.
Carefully I'm choosing the words to write.
Don't want to keep anything inside.
To know the difficulty of translating love to writing strikes me as one the greatest struggles each poet must overcome. This poet found a way. Bravo.

As I lie in my bed,
Your name's running through my head.
All I can think of is you,
All that you do,
Everything about you makes me want to never leave your side. And when I do, it hurts more than anything I've ever felt in my life. All I do is wish you were here, and I was there with you. As...

Baby, I love you so.
Baby, you are my heart and soul.
I feel I could spread wings and fly
Every time I gaze into your eyes.
I always think of you.
In my sleep,
in my dreams,
I always think of you.
That poem is beautiful. I loved it. You're really good.
Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
I never really knew you.
You were just another friend,
But when I got to know you,
I let my heart unbend.
Honestly, the first time I read this, I was deeply struck. This resembled the time when I was moving on from my crush and then I fell for another girl, who was my friend. I never knew I would...
