Sample Romance/Love Poems:

A RARE LOVE LIKE THINE

.

I will love thee, dear

Until the sea runs dry

.

I will love thee, dear

Until the boulders melt with the sun

.

I will love thee still, dear

Until the mountains are overthrown

.

I will love thee still, dear

Until the sand flee the shores

.

I will be still with thee dear

When the sun don't shine no more

.

And thine eyes dim in the morning light

When thine limbs trembled

.

And thine skin wrinkled

As long as breath is in thine lungs

.

Even as thine heart stopped pumping blood

In the end, I will love thee still, my dear

.

For you are the flower that has blossomed in my heart from my youth,

my little lily of the valley fulfilled on my steady beating chest.

.

CANDLE IN THE FOREST

.

In this forest of life

Many lost their ways

Many committed suicide by hanging from the trees

But I'm here to provide direction with nailed arrows

And lighter candles

May no soul be lost in this forest again

But each one finds their angels guiding them out of the woods

Let me be the ghost that saves thee from thy fall

I will haunt this forest for the rest of my life

Guiding passerby to safety

Let it be at the expense and cost of my life

For this is a noble thing to do

Let me not be ashamed

Of such occupation

For thy soul is precious

To thy mother

.
