"love"
Nameless
Posted on 09. May, 2012 by editor in Poems, Youth Corner
It’s been determined that love has come from someone far above.
Honestly after all the pain and suffering is there really something to be proud of?
But with all facts straight it is, in all senses, as painful as a morning dove.
Sadly teenagers always find it best to rush in at full speed.
The heart cannot be stopped; it’s like a mystical stampede.
Once you find that special someone though, love is guaranteed.
As much dedication and devotion I produced, I was given back no remorse.
But now after I took as long as I did in the game, I think I found my course.
The last relationship hurt, so I have come to the thought; it was my last divorce.
There is no chance of me ending up in the arms of a friend crying.
Your love, honest and true, shouldn’t be a position that I am buying.
Honestly for as long as we’ve known each other, why are you still lying?

To the girl whose beauty is present in all seasons
I tell you why you are beautiful, here are the reasons:
Your beauty extends into the heavens,
it goes on forever and never lessens.
Even when the clouds heighten
you are here and the world brightens.
You are like a fruit that constantly ripens
your beauty continues to grow no mater what happens.
Your beauty seems to increase with every breathe
it tests the limits my imagination can stretch.
It makes me question if what I am seeing is real
I only know it is true by the way that I feel.
Your beauty is so vast it can’t be concealed
there is no hiding it your beauty is always revealed.
My fondness for you constantly deepens
because every time I see you my heart starts to weaken.
You make everything else appear hollow
where ever you are loveliness is sure to follow.
You shine so bright you cast your own shadow
a beauty that others would love to borrow.
But try as they might your beauty they will never catch
because something like you they could never match.
The power of your beauty is the world’s greatest gift
the heaviest boulder it could easily lift.
A girl this perfect I never knew
all that changed the moment I met you.
Heaven on Earth I was not aware
until I met a girl that was crafted with such care.
You would be the answer to a prayer
if someone asked for something rare with beauty to spare.
If I had a choice I would choose this girl over air
for air can’t compare to this girl not found elsewhere.

How do you know if you are in love?

There is no one set of criteria that defines what it means to be in love. Love means different things to different people at different times. Qualities of a healthy, happy, and caring relationship are things like mutual respect, honesty, comfort, fun, and attraction. These qualities might not equal love, but they should be essential for any dating relationship. Sometimes people feel pressure to label (put a name to) their feelings. What matters more in a relationship is how you feel, not what you call your feelings.

If only you could see all the lies Buried deep within my soul That I have hidden from this world And put into a dark cold hole They are hidden from the naked eye That may explode from beneath the seam And maybe soon you’ll see the truth From the light that it will start [...]
