well i'll talk romance later the yanks are playing the sox right now...:D
 
I HEAR MUSIC WHEN YOU SPEAK

Dance with me, hold me close
enthral me, cheek to cheek,
feel the rush and thrill of love
hearken to the music speak.

May your tender arms enfold me
on a night that's made for love
I remember ~ you once told me
your love outshone the moon above.

Dance with me and hold me close
then we will find the joy we seek
up in the galaxy of love,
starry-eyed and cheek to cheek.

~I hear music when you speak~
 
My thoughts of you are never ending
Take me in your arms and
Lead me as only you can
To a secret place warm with the sun
Under a canopy of your magic
Forest green with a moss-laden floor
Where only lovers lay

Let us run and play to hide
Only to seek each other out again
To embrace and kiss and share
The love in our eyes speaks to our souls
To slumber in our love, hearts as one
Under a cascade of rays filtered
Through our forest umbrella
To play again another magic day
That leads us into forever
 
She thinks I walk on water;
She thinks I hung the moon.
She tells me every mornin',
"They just don't make men like you."

She thinks I've got it together;
She swears I'm as tough as nails.
But I don't have the heart to tell her,
That she don't know me that well.

She don't know how much I need her;
She don't know I'd fall apart,
Without her kiss, without her touch,
Without her faithful lovin' arms.
She don't know that it's all about her;
She don't know I can't live without her.
She's my world, she's my everything,
And she thinks she needs me.

Sometimes, she cries on my shoulder,
When she's lyin' next to me.
But she don't know that when I hold her,
That she's really holdin' me, holdin' me.

She don't know how much I need her;
She don't know I'd fall apart,
Without her kiss, without her touch,
Without her faithful lovin' arms.
She don't know that it's all about her;
She don't know I can't live without her.
She's my world, she's my everything,
And she thinks she needs me.

Yeah, now the funny thing is,
She thinks she's the lucky one.

She don't know how much I need her;
She don't know I'd fall apart,
Without her kiss, without her touch,
Without her faithful lovin' arms.
She don't know that it's all about her;
She don't know I can't live without her.
She's my world, she's my everything,
And she thinks she needs me.

She thinks I walk on water;
She thinks I hung the moon.
 
BORN TO GIVE MY LOVE TO YOU (Martina McBride)

I don't know what brought us here
Something in the stars said you and me
I don't know where this feeling comes from
Surely it was meant to be
For I have know you even in my dreams
My eyes are open, my heart can see

CHORUS
As sure as stars light the midnight sky
As sure as children wonder why
As sure as newborn babies cry
I was born to give my love to you
Born to give my love to you

Heaven must be holding on
To all the love I'm feeling now
Here we are this is a moment
I believe it's our turn somehow
Hearts together, hands across the night
One forever, finally in sight

REPEAT CHORUS

I was born to give my love to you
(I was born to give my love to you)
I was born to give my love to you
I was born to give my love to you
 
Good Evening Romantics....

I've been away for too long...glad to see there have been others posting here. Love may have taken a detour, but romance in my heart lives on. Taking the good and things learned/shared that never would have come to me if I didn't open my heart and soul to Love again...and living.

A little Friday nite blues...love this song! :rose: :kiss: :)

When I Come To You
Jonny Lang


When I’m all alone
when I’m feelin’ Blue
no one understands me, baby
nobody but you

Through all the sleepless nights
and the rainy day til the sun is nowhere in view
the only way I make it through is when I come to you
and in my darkest hour, when the midnight shadows fall
baby you got the power to make the angels come to call

I just hold you in my arms
and let music in my heart play the whole night through
when I come to you, I felt so brand new, when I come to you

When I come to you, you make it all right again
when I come to you, you keep me from the howlin’ wind
and feel brand new, when I come to you
 
Good Morning Romantics....

Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful, safe and happy Holiday weekend. Please, don't drink and drive...everyone has loved ones who want them home in one piece.


All My Love
Led Zeppelin

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the night
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end.

For many hours and days that pass ever soon
the tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?

All of my love,
all of my love,
all of my love to you now.

All of my love,
all of my love,
all of my love to you now.

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin

All of my love,
all of my love,
all of my love to you now.

All of my love,
all of my love,
all of my love to you now.

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

All of my love,
all of my love,
all of my love for you now.

All of my love,
all of my love,
all of my love for you now.


Peace, my friends.

WELCOME BACK,69

JENNY

I'll always remember the song they were playing,
The first time we danced and I knew.
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner then every night?
When we're together it feels so right,
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
Cause we move together I know forever,
You're all I'll ever need.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner then every night?
When we're together it feels so right,
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner then every night?
When we're together it feels so right,
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
 
Thanks Oman, you and Jenny...Soron and Arden are still inspirations to me that love can endure and grow, through all that life has thrown in front of us as roadblocks.

I wrote this poem in letting go of the pain, starting to heal and live again. It was more cathartic than I realized when writing it.

The Fallen Warrior

On wind swept plain the warrior lies, snow drifts all around him
The mantle of his sword of truth pointing towards the sky does ask
Where and why did love foresake and lonliness confound him
Her red silk scarf he held so dear, tied to that mantle makes it clear.

When Spring does come they'll find him here, no wounds to be seen
But in his chest as cold as ice a shattered heart they'd find
His arm outstretched with blade in hand, as if to point the way
Just one more hill and valley would have saved this lovers day.

In shallow grave they laid the Knight, his sword of truth a marker
No flowers grow in that barren meadow, darkness it does gather
The only color showing there, that tattered red silk scarf that flies
And on full moon nights the ground it bleeds, the warrior still cries.


Life goes on, picking up the pieces, gathering what was wonderful and right and tucking it into my heart and soul. Wiser and richer for the love given and recieved. :rose:
 
Good Afternoon Romantics...

Hoping everyone has a wonderful day! Here's wishing for freedom to love and to live for EVERYONE!!! Peace. :rose: :kiss:

Song of Love
Kahlil Gibran


I am the lover's eyes, and the spirit's
Wine, and the heart's nourishment.
I am a rose. My heart opens at dawn and
The virgin kisses me and places me
Upon her breast.


I am the house of true fortune, and the
Origin of pleasure, and the beginning
Of peace and tranquility. I am the gentle
Smile upon his lips of beauty. When youth
Overtakes me he forgets his toil, and his
Whole life becomes reality of sweet dreams.


I am the poet's elation,
And the artist's revelation,
And the musician's inspiration.


I am a sacred shrine in the heart of a
Child, adored by a merciful mother.


I appear to a heart's cry; I shun a demand;
My fullness pursues the heart's desire;
It shuns the empty claim of the voice.


I appeared to Adam through Eve
And exile was his lot;
Yet I revealed myself to Solomon, and
He drew wisdom from my presence.


I smiled at Helena and she destroyed Tarwada;
Yet I crowned Cleopatra and peace dominated
The Valley of the Nile.


I am like the ages -- building today
And destroying tomorrow;
I am like a god, who creates and ruins;
I am sweeter than a violet's sigh;
I am more violent than a raging tempest.


Gifts alone do not entice me;
Parting does not discourage me;
Poverty does not chase me;
Jealousy does not prove my awareness;
Madness does not evidence my presence.


Oh seekers, I am Truth, beseeching Truth;
And your Truth in seeking and receiving
And protecting me shall determine my
Behavior.
 
Hello everyone. I was just doing a little surfing and came across this thread. It seems like a pretty cool place and would love to post a few poems here if you don't mind. If they seem a little highschoolish, well, that's because I wrote thim in highschool. I too am a hopless romantic. Wish I could say the same for my hubby, but oh, well.

~Key To My Heart~

I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn't let anyone in
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But that would never happen again
I had locked the door and tossed the key
As hard and as fast as I could
Love would never enter there again
My heart was closed for good
Then you came into my life
And made me change my mind
Just when I thought that tiny key
Was impossible to find
That's when you held out your hand
And proved to me I was wrong
Inside your palm was that tiny key
You had it all along
 
When there are few tomorrows
And prayers I cannot find
When failings leave before me
And haunts my lonely mind
When darkness gathers around me
Embracing me with fear
And weary sighs and weeping
Are all that I can hear
And when my heart is slowing
And death I can't resist,
I'll leave with just a whisper
Your name upon my lips
 
~Standing Side-by-side~

Standing side-by-side
you look into my eyes
as i look into yours
we pledge our eternal love
forever shall we stay
never shall we part
for we both know that
we are one and always will be
we will go through heartache and pain
we will feel happiness and sorrow
but we will do it together
standing side-by-side

sxy_, welcome to the Romantics thread!!! Those poems were lovely...especially for having been written when you were at that young age!!! They are good on their own, but in that context they are superb.... :rose: :)
 
Good Evening Romantics....

Sometimes it's more than enough...it's what you need.

You're My Best Friend
Queen

Words and music by John Deacon

Ooh you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live

Ooh you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh you're my best friend

Ooo you make me live

Ooh I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend

Ooo you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live

You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend

Ooo you make me live

I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh you're my best friend
Ooo you make me live
You you're my best friend

Love of My Life
Brian McKnight

First, first time I looked into your eyes
I saw heaven, oh, heaven in your eyes
Everything I did before you, wasn't worth my while
It should've been you all the time
I do anything, and everything to please you
You know how much I need you
You're always, always, on my mind

You're more than wonderful
More than amazing
Irreplaceable, love, love, in my life
You're so incredible, here in these arms tonight
The irreplaceable, love, love, of my life

Always, seems like reality
Forever, don't seem so far away
All I wanna do, all I wanna feel, all I wanna be is close to you
Everyday, is my lucky day
All I wanna do, is love you
I place no one above you
I'll tell you why

You're more than wonderful
More than amazing
The irreplaceable, love, love, in my life
You're so incredible, here in these arms tonight
The irreplaceable, love, love, of my life

Baby you know, you know you're my one and only
(All I wanna do is be together)
Sugar you know, I'll never leave you lonely
In your eyes, in your eyes I see forever
Ahhhh, ohhhh, ohhh, ohhhhh,
Ahhhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhh,

You're more than wonderful
More than amazing
The irreplaceable, love, love, in my life
You're so incredible, here in these arms tonight
The irreplaceable, love, love, of my life

Thanks 69. It has been quite sometime since I've written any poems and would like to start again, but I find it's a lot harder now than it was back then. I guess I just havn't found the right inspiration yet.
 
Whitney Houston - Run To You Lyrics
----------
(Allan Rich, Jud Friedman)
Music Corporation of America, Inc., Nelana Music (BMI)/
PSO Ltd., Music by Candlelight (ASCAP)
Verse 1:
I know that when you look at me,
There's so much that you just don't see.
But if you would only take the time,
I know in my heart you'd find,
Oh, a girl who's scared sometimes,
Who isn't always strong.
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone.
Chorus:
I wanna run to you, oo,
I wanna run to you, oo.
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you, oo. (I'll run to you, oo)
But if I come to you, oo,
Tell me will you stay,
Or will you run away?
Verse 2:
Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control.
But at night, I come home and turn the key,
There's nobody there, no one cares for me.
Oh what's the sense
Of trying hard to find your dreams?
Without someone to share them with
Tell me, what does it mean?
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Run away,
No, I need you here,
I need you here to wipe away my tears,
To kiss away my fears.
No, if you only know how much...
(Chorus)
 
~You're the One~ By: The Carpenters

Every night every day
You're the one I always dream of
Every line of your face
Is sketched so plain inside my heart

You've grown so deep inside of me
You're everything I feel and see
And you're the one, you're the one I love

All my life, all my love
I can feel when you're beside me
All that's right, all that's wrong
Suddenly becomes so clear

My heart has over taken me
With feelings you awake in me
And you're the one, you're the one I love

Only you could meve me enough
To believe in love one more time
All I need to ask for tomorrowis that you're mine
Mine for a lifetime

If our friends all around
Find it hard to understand us
You and I understand
The other one so very well
And that's what I've been looking for
So I keep coming back for more

'Cause you're the one, you're the one I love
'Cause you're the one, you're the one I love
 
When I Saw You...Mariah Carey

Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me
Transcending space and time
And I was rendered still
There was no words for me to find at all
As I stood there beside myself
I could see you and no one else

When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be, I'd never be the same

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in
Changing you with the tide
And dawn's ribbon of light
Burts through the dark
Wakening you inside
And I thought it was all untrue
Untill there all at once I knew

When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be, I'd never be the same

With no beginning and
With out an end
You are the one for me
It's evident
Cause your eyes told me so
Your eyes let me know

When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be, I'd never be the same...
 
Good evening romantics...

Wonderfully romantic stuff!

Hello {{{{ Shosh }}}} It's nice to see you and glad you enjoy the romance people are sharing...

This song pretty much says where my head and heart are now.
There is sadness and hope....how very, very bittersweet.....

Love's A Hard Game To Play
Stevie Nicks

Written by B. Michaels and P. Schunk.


Wake up my sweet child
There's something I've got to say to you tonite
It's time you took a look at me
Cause there's so much more to me
Than meets the eye

Well, there's more to love than makin' time
The harder you look the more you'll find
It's never easy no matter what they say

Love's a hard game to play
The heart's the price you pay
Love's a hard game to play
No matter what they say
Win or lose, no matter what they say
Love's a hard game to play

The problem here is not my fear
The trouble is you can't convince yourself
For tonight, let's lose the past
Make love last
Put our worries up on the shelf

We've been through thick and thin, and back again
And we can endure love's sweet pain
Remember, starting the fire is easy
The hardest part is learning how to keep the flame

Love's like walking a real fine line
You get too close and you'll go blind
Let go too long and it will all drift away

Just when I feel like I'm losin' you
I hear them voices call
They say it's better to have lost at love
Than never to have loved at all
Lose or win, stand or fall

Well, there's more to love than makin' time
The harder you look, the more you'll find
It's never easy, no matter what they say
