1) 24 Bars
When it comes to you, I only have positive stuff to say
You cross my mind every time, everyday
I love the texture of your hair
And your complexion that’s smooth and fair
When you hug me, I realize you’re someone that I hold dear
Your voice is among the sweetest sounds that I can hear
Your shiny buffed nails
Amazes me it never fails
Life’s moments with you which I’ve had the privilege to share
Has revealed to me how much you care
When I’m sick, I can count on you for the remedy
Whenever I need a laugh, I can tease you with comedy
Though there are times I go overboard and make you mad
Which in turn eats me up with remorse and makes me feel bad
Please look past my shortcomings and focus on the times we’ve had
I don’t want to lose you…
I don’t want that period of unparalleled sadness
I still want to be yours and bask in the aura of happiness
What evidence would you like that will reveal to you my adoration
I will be that prosecutor hell bent on a conviction
If loving you is a crime
I’m ready to do my time
I’ve been arrested by your beauty and personality
And I would like to serve a life sentence in the jail of your heart
2) A new chapter
My life’s journey with you have been bliss
There is no other experience that could rival this
Whenever I’m not in your presence of you I’d miss
It was a night with all the stars in line when you gave me my first kiss
As it was planted on my cheek
I realize this surpasses all forms of happiness I had tried to seek
Coupled with a hug, it left me feeling smug
As we locked chests, I realize you’re far above the rest
After all, you’re my treasure chest
The hug made me feel more loved as its nature is one that’s heart to heart
With you, this new chapter of life I’m glad to start
There isn’t anything in the world I’d trade you for
You’re everything that I’ve ever wanted and even more
3) My sole wish
Why do I need to wish for more?
When what I have right now is greater than before
I have the hands to write poems that brings smiles to your face
A car that can bring you to your favorite place
Legs that allows me to accompany you for a walk
A mouth that permits me to vocalize sweet words when we talk
An ear that enables me to hear
All the words you say to me, dear
A nose that allows me to sniff the aroma you exude
Which makes me feel that a part of you life, I’ve been included
Lastly, I have a memory that allows me to remember you when we’re not together
My sole wish… This goes on forever.
4) The summary
This text is my labor of love
To show of you I put no one above
I wrote something relatively easy to comprehend
And there is no need to crack your head to understand
It can be read as verse or prose
As a rose by any other name is still a rose
After all this is written due to what I feel for you, which is adoration
Like all other text penned for you this too reveals my appreciation
But since simplicity is the essence of good expression
And long windedness is only external ornamentation
This will be the last poem/ love letter
You’re right; as long as I write from the heart what I write doesn’t matter
It is the shortest word for me, the sweetest word for me and the only one for me
Put it together it is; I love you
(Hope you like it because all of my future poems and love letters to you will consist of these three words only).
5) The repetitive declaration
Coming up with new rhymes is taxing on my brain
Seems like my intellectual ability is going down the drain
However when I don’t make you happy I feel pain
So I press on writing poems because your happiness is my gain
When you run through my thoughts, of you I’d start to miss
I know you’re an sms person so I texted you a message that sounded like this
I love you every single moment of every passing day
My emotions for you will always be that way
But because you didn’t get my messages regarding my feelings
I got to send it to you over and over prefaced with different headings
Therefore among hose messages there were only some slight variations
It stayed mainly the same because the constant was my emotion
The constant would be the last two lines that stayed the same
Though it is quite repetitive I hope you won’t think it’s lame
I wanna make you feel that your effort in loving me is not something done in vain
Hence I express my love to you time and time again
A romantic attachment towards you
Is the only feeling I know how
It’s the only feeling I’d wanna show
I know my feelings for you will never be less because it will always grow.
6) The gift
In my life you have been God’s gift
So whenever I’m with you my spirit gets a lift
People always say the grass on the other side is greener
I take pride in knowing that other than you there is none better
You are full of positive traits that exude loveliness
Particularly when I mess up; I got to experience your forgiveness
I miss those various expressions on your face
Even the one where you say, “Hmmph” and stare out the window
Though it reduces my chance to receive from you an embrace
It makes me feel of your command I’d wanna follow
I miss your disapproving glance and your, “No honey no.”
I miss those times that together to your favorite places we’d go.
7) Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Anne, you’re my girl, my honey
I won’t jeopardize your love by doing anything funny
You’re such a magnificent lady
All I want to do is embrace you, baby
All those days without you drives me crazy
My uncertainty of activities to do makes me edgy
I’m glad you didn’t put your feelings for me on the shelf
Otherwise I wouldn’t know a love that loves me more than myself
That is able to make moments spent together a time of bliss
Now that you’re not here I reminisce on the times with you and of you I’d start to miss
Just wanna thank you for what you have given me before you left which was a hug and a kiss
In my life you have been a great gift
Because you are always able to give my spirits a constant boost and a lift
8) The love above all
Moments that I spend with you are always satisfying
The conversations, hugs and kisses are always gratifying
When I play basketball, I have to play good to make it worth while
But times spent with you always leave me with a smile
Computer gaming is an activity that I enjoy to play
But I don’t crave for it like I do for you every moment, everyday
I love (American) football but there are never enough people on the field
But whenever I’m in your presence I’m certain joy is always the yield
I doubt there is anything I could miss or love more
Because you give me happiness galore
Furthermore I know there is more in store
As we write the pages for our journey in life together
It just seems that these memories will be embedded with me forever
You are my 1st love that gave me my first hug, kiss and everything
Towards my heart it is only bliss that you bring
For that reason I love you more than anything
I love you more than football, basketball & baseball
You are my world; you are my all in all.
9) Epiphany
How does it feel to have a boyfriend that constantly pisses you off?
And upon completion of most of his sentences makes you scoff
How does it feel like to have a boyfriend that fumbles his words constantly?
That results in you staring out the window and drained emotionally
Why is it that I receive the bulk of your tender loving care?
Despite the fact that I make you feel like crying when you felt the trust isn’t there
Why is it that despite the fact that even though most of my statements make you lost
The distribution of your love is such that I receive the most
Do cue me in on why I am a priority that is important
Even though in this relationship I stayed mostly ignorant
I once read a joke
Which some thoughts of mine it managed to provoke
A husband exclaimed, “Why is it that the biggest jerks get the prettiest girls?”
The wife retorted, “Why thank you dear.”
In our relationship I fell this is somewhat I reality, something I fear
But then I realize the best action to take is to say, “thank you” when you receive a present
Not to have false humility and allow the prevailing emotion to be embarrassment
So I embrace you with my arms opened far and wide
You are the calm in the storm that allows my ship in life’s journey to glide
In my life you are irreplaceable and indispensable
I pray that all that I have done for you is acceptable
After all I do need you like a plant needs water and sunlight
Thank you for being such a blessing to me with your sunny disposition and personality that’s bright.
10) Greatest treasure
Anne, you are my greatest treasure
Moments spent with you are always my greatest pleasure
My love for you and the way you make me feel are beyond measure
Your trust in me instates confidence that I never knew I had
Your compassion lifts my spirits whenever I’m feeling sad
That’s why with you there isn’t a moment that I’d frown
You provide me with angel’s wings that lift me whenever I’m down
All this makes me feel like a king going through coronation
I hope I have done all that I can to show my appreciation.
