Only from the heart can you touch the sky. ~Rumi
Here is the collection of love poems I have written over the years. Some were inspired by actual people I admired; others were just created in the midst of my lonely moments. One does not need be a poet to write love poetry. All it takes is a heart and wee bit of imagination. For me, writing poetry is like pouring my heart out into words. May this inspire you to write, too.

Farewell to You Whom I Fancied

Why does my heart yearn for you so?
Why can't my mind just let you go?
Why do I dream of you each night
When you've fore'er gone from my sight?

Gone is the hope that I'd be brave
Enough to show you I did crave
For your regard and your esteem
Now you are just a distant dream

You'll be a secret in my heart
As you've been from the very start
Ne'er will you know I noticed you
Nor will you know I've fancied you

So where'er you go I wish you well
Let me bid you a warm farewell
And though we'll never meet again
I'll always think of you, dear

Unforgettable

Where are you o old flame of mine?
You've gone forever from my sight
Yet in the void I feel your light
Why in my heart do you still shine?

Wherefore do you so haunt my mind?
Each thought of you in vain I've fought
In dreams of you too oft I'm caught
How from this whirl can I unwind?

Valentine Sonnet

Will you on this day be my Valentine?
My heart the lightning bolts of Cupid struck
And from it sparks flew with a force divine
The moment that you captured it in luck

Yours shall be all the roses of the Earth
And every heart-shaped candies of the world
If you be mine, to your day I'll bring mirth
And gently let you in my love be swirled

This day of love do let us celebrate
Together as we've never done before
May Venus draw for me a happpy fate
For you to love me now and evermore

Beloved one, please be my Valentine!
My heart and soul long for you to be mine!

Longing to Be Yours

My eyes long to meet thine again
If only they knew how and when
What my heart yearns chance offers not
Thus save dreams of thee I have naught

Yet I shan't let myself despair
For Cupid may lead us to pair
So I shall ache for thee no more
But make my true love for thee soar

My Love For You

Far across the bountiful crops of the soil
Dances my love for you
Far across the many seas and rivers of the world
Swims my love for you
Far across the deserts and forests of our planet
Sings my love for you
Far across the pinnacles of every mountain
Reaches my love for you
Far beyond the highest boundaries of the heavens
Flies my love for you
Far beyond the countless galaxies of the Milky Way
Stretches my love for you
Far beneath the deepest ground layer of the Earth
Waits my love for you
Far beneath the abyss of the oceans
Rests my love for you
Far beneath the crater of every volcano
Burns my love for you

Dance, swim, sing, reach
My love does it all for you
Wait, rest, burn
My love does it all for you
All for it loves you beyond infinity!
