*Distance Between Love*
By: Naydeen

Love can overcome anything,
If you try,
It will work,
If you give up,
It will shatter.

The feelings are there,
But no matter what,
The distance between is so far.

Across the state,
Across the country,
Or over seas,
The love for eachother will always be.
And if you try your very best,
Then maybe....just maybe,
You two will one day be!

Girl Of My Dreams
by Dean Rands

I dreamed of you again
You kissed me on the cheek
I began to tremble
Your beauty made me weak

You looked deep into my eyes
And whispered in my ear
You whispered "I Love You -
You're all I hold dear"

You were dressed in lucious red
A sign of beauty, A sign of love
And in my dreams were we close
We were a match made from above

And I could feel you were the one
As I closed my eyes and held you tight
There were no thoughts in my mind
Because it just felt right

Then I woke with sunshine my face
And nothing was as it seems
But I knew today was another day
To find you - the girl of my dreams

Feeling
by Tara Kay

I will tell you what I am feeling,
And I am reaching up to the ceiling.
Such a wonderful feeling, so new.
Cause I always feel at home with you.

Don't leave me without a note,
Tell me and I'll get my coat.

Cause wherever you are, I want to be there
And although life doesn't always seem very fair
That's not gonna change what I feel for you
Believe that whatever I ever I say is so true.

You're in my heart, You're in my head
And I miss you now as I'm lying alone in my bed.
Please don't ever leave me on my own,
I'm frightened that I'll be so alone.

And I know I wouldn't be the same without you
Because my heart would be so torn in two.

Such a wonderful feeling,
To know you wont be leaving.

Alone in this World

I walk alone in this deserted place, no-one here, no-one here. My echo is the only thing that talks to me and my shadow is the only other being, the feeling I get in this haunting place takes it's toll on me, cos it's making me go crazy.

I'm still walking with only one goal in mind, it's to find you, hold you and be with you. Deserted city streets that once were full but now left with nothing but the eery wind carrying haunting sounds as it goes by, chilling to the bone the feeling is something none have ever felt.

I can't take much more of this walking in this dark abyss, take my soul, I give unto you, do with it want you want to, just get me outta this decimated place. Lifeless as I continue to walk, a light appears and covers all, I can't see blinded by it's intensity. Seen from the center a faded, blurred outline of an angel. It walks to-wards me, I feel week, my knees go limp, I fall to the ground all goes white...

I wake to the sounds that once filled the world, the chirping of birds and the laughs of children. My eyes open I'm lying in bed, I turn to my-side and see you there, I can't believe it my body fills with so much joy and happiness, it can't be explained. You awake and you smile at me my life is complete everything I ever wanted in you is here I'm so happy it can't be explained....

I'll love you forever until the end, be sure of that my darling one, now rest your head and go back to sleep.......

Inside I Feel
by Levi

Unspoken feelings inside of me, tearing me apart.
Dimmed lights surrounding, slowly going dark.
Things I so longing want filling in my head,
I want you here but your not, it's breaking my already
hurting heart. I love you so much that's why it hurts,
you'll always be in my heart.

Feeling strange inside, it's all in my head. Love is a
painful thing but so is not having anyone to love.
You and me are one in the same, just not here is what's
keeping us apart, Ii just wanna be in your heart.

Sometimes I just wanna know if it even worth it all,
Love just never goes my way, but I know your out there
waiting to be found.

I wanna wake to your lovely smile and be there when you
go to sleep. I wanna show the love inside and know you feel
same, I'll forever love you and I know you feel the same.

The way I feel inside, has to come out soon I wanna be with
and gaze upon the moon, in a dark lit city sky. I love you
and I always will forever until the end of time.

I Wanna
by Levi

I wanna be yours and you to be mine, but your with this other guy, I wanna hold you close at night, feel your body next to mine, I love, love, love you baby but I can't explain why, I just feel this way and it'll be like that till the end of time.

I wanna love you, I wanna hold you, I wanna feel you, and make you warm inside, I wanna please you, I wanna go ta sleep with you and wake up to your smile. Cos I'll love always just know it's true, I'll be here forever waiting for you.

You make me feel so warm inside, like I'm snuggled up in bed. You smile and it makes me happy and I never want see you sad. It's strange I've never felt this way not for any other girl, I love you that's for sure, forever until the end of time..

I wanna love you, I wanna hold you, I wanna feel you, and make you warm inside, I wanna please you, I wanna go ta sleep with you and wake up to your smile. Cos I'll love always just know it's true, I'll be here forever waiting for you.

I Can't Explain
by Levi

I'm running but I don't know why, I see you in the distance your fading away to nothing, to nothing. I think I wanna cry, but I can't Cos I hold it back trying to be a guy. I wish that I could tell you exactly how I feel but I can't explain it's strange I just wanna see you smile.

Stand here with me until the end of time, never go, never leave I want you by my side. Cos I love you all to much and that's the way I feel, I can't explain it but I guess I gotta soon. I love you forever, be sure that it's true. I'll never leave your side no matter what you do...

Here I am again waiting for you to come. In this place I'm all alone with no-one to share my love, I wish that you were here with me, I wanna hold you close, feel your warmth tonight. It just the way I feel and I never want to fight. I don't care bout what we do as long as I'm in your heart. Some guys want the sex and pleasure but all I want is you.

Stand here with me until the end of time, never go, never leave I want you by my side. Cos I love you all to much and that's the way I feel, I can't explain it but I guess I gotta soon. I'll love you forever, be sure that it's true. I'll never leave your side no matter what you do...

Happened 13 times
by Levi

Happened 13 times, I can't take much more of drowning love. I just want to find you, that one god damn fish. In that big blue sea, I'm swimming searching for you, but it's way to big and I can't take much more this. I'll probably be over it soon but at the moment it seems there's no-one out there for poor little me.

Every time I had my eye on some special fish, someone else came from nowhere and stole her kiss, or she went away, or she didn't feel the same. Sometimes I ask myself why does this shit happen to me something good better come outta this.

In times of struggle and pain, I lift my head and think for what the future brings. Yet the future isn't here, so I gotta deal with today.
I'm gonna find ya if it's the last thing I do, hopefully your looking too. Cos I wanna love you.

Struck By Lightning By: Tim Bradshaw

The moment I first saw you
I was stunned by something strong
You made my body act a way
That I used to think was wrong

My words never came out right
I was as nervous as you could be
All I knew was that I wanted you
Thats all that I could see

It took a long time for us
To finally see the truth
You made me laugh and smile too
You sent my heart through the roof

I can't explain the effect you had
To completely alter my life
I guess that is what love is
So will you be my wife

You said nothing about a limit on poems per poet so this is my second one.

Midnight Proposal By: Tim Bradshaw

The whole meaning of life is love
No matter what you say it's true
If love means living everyday
Then I choose to live with you

There's not a moment I don't think
About how lucky I have been
To have you a part of my life
Will always be called a win

Although we have those rocky days
And wonder if it's all worth while
I say why doubt it at all
As I crack a loving smile

I couldn't picture my life alone
Without you to hold me tight
I lean on you to lead the way
And show me your loving might

As crazy as it may sound
I plan to grow old with you
You ask me if i love you
And I'm here to say I DO!

please marry me

In My Dreams
By: Sarah Drew

I fall asleep
I start to dream
My thoughts are deep

I see him there
He walks over to me
He runs his fingers through my hair

He looks into my eyes
I look back into his
My heart flies

He smiles at me
And kisses my cheek
I'm filled up with glee

He takes my hand
We begin to walk
We here music from a distant band

It's beginning to become light
Our time together is almost over
I'm filled with fright

He smiles and says goodbye
He walks away from me
I begin to cry

Our time is done
It's all over for me
That's it for all the fun

I'm now awake
Tears are rolling down my face
I begin to shake

It's over now
I'll get over this dream
I just don't know how

"Everything Perfection Defines"

I`m so fortunate
To have your love
You`re truly a godsend
That fell from above

You mean everything to me
Without you I`d merely fall apart
So given to you on a silver platter
Is my love laced heart

I need you more then you know
Your lips are an addiction
I long to be with you
As your touch is temptation

When together, I love the way you . . .
Hold me tight in your warm embrace
Kiss me gentle with your softened lips
And all the things that make my heart race

As you whisper sweet nothings
Lightly into my ear
I fall into the sky
And my worries disappear

You have a smile that`s priceless
Eyes that say a million I love yous
And a heart truly sincere
With a love that no one could refuse

I could go on forever
About why I love you
There are a million and one reasons
And those are just a few

In my eyes and in my heart
You`re everything perfection defines
No need to think outside the box
Or read between the lines

To see how great you are . . .

not my best poem but as far as love goes.....

"Unbound"

I look to the sky, I see you fly by
So beautiful and free, as happy as can be

I look to the ground, and see the chains
the ones that bound you, that gave you great pain

I shout to the wind, "Farewell and goodbye"
You look back at me, while I start to cry

I think about the days, the times that we shared
I remember the words, how much I cared

I remember, how new, how special to me
our relationship was, the joy it gave me

Now I see you in the distance, headed towards the sea
I whisper to you, be free, be free
At the same time, I feel alost and alone
For my life revolved around you, and you alone

I sacrificed my time, my thoughts, and my friends
For I thought it would all be worth it in the end

This isn't how I expected the end to be
I thought it would last for eternity

Right now I can't figure out a few things
Like the things you said, that you didn't mean

Didn't mean, or believe, its all the same to me
Because at the same time I listened and I believed

Then you started to change, turning angry and mean
Had I gotten too close, that you call me a fiend

I tried to listen, I wanted it to work
all you said was, "get away from me, you jerk"
here is only so much, a man can take
I think you knew this, wanting me to break

You pushed and you pushed, and finally won
I fell in the mud, and you started to run

Run away from responsibility, and lots of dedication
To the life you want, that is one giant vacation

One day you will realize, what you had, and lost
a friend who cared, and would give at all costs

Now we split, go off on our own seperate ways
And only one thing left, which I want to say

"Take care my love, once dearest friend to me
Fly off in the wind, be free, be free"

I love you, but you always love someone but me,
I love you through your bursts of acne.
Without you in my life I feel broken and empty,
Even if you've never loved me, you're all I see.

She says she's in love with you,
After just one day, it can't be true,
I can say I love you, 'Cause I've liked you 16 months, time's no issue.
When she's around you, does she unglue?

Does she dream of you, night after night,
Are you the only reason she remains in the fight-
Called life? Does she write and write-
Poems about you in darkness and light?

Does she post them all over, for people to read,
To give her the support that she wants and needs?
Does she feel only with you she can succeed,
Has she dreamed every night of you two getting married?

And before bed each night, does she cry?
Does she think that without you she should die,
Does she love you half as much, I ask for a reply!
Does love you even at your shows when you're drunk or high?

Has she been to three of your band's shows in a row?
And has she cried when you didn't show-
At our chorus concert? Does she simply glow-
When you're around her, this I'd like to know.

So if she really loves you, she could say yes to ALL of these,
She would be willing to climb over the Rocky's-
Or over endless turquoise seas,
Just to see a glimpse of your face, to put her heart at ease.

All of these things I've done or, I'd gladly do,
Just to get you to love me too.
I'll wait forever, since patience is a virtue,
I'll wait forever to hear the words "I love you"

This is a promise I'm willing to keep.

~*Who Cares?*~

I See You Right Before Me

I see you right before me
My rare and dauntless prize
Your eyes are bright and loving
And possessing no lies

Your lips smile at me
Then converge onto mine
I feel your lips caressing my own
I get chills up my spine

You are so sweet my love
You are the man of my dreams
Everything you whisper is full of truth
And you make me feel serene

Thank goodness you're mine boy
You're better than the other guys
I see you right before me
But only when I close my eyes

Walking this Land
by Levi

Walking the scorching desert, sun burning me, I can't stand the heat. Blistering feet peeling, flesh burning. I do not stop, nothing will make me...I must find that thing I seek.
I keep on walking, birds of death watch me walk alone about to fall, eyes of evil, minds blackened, waiting for me to fall, but I won't give up, I'll keep on going until the end, until the end of time.
Walking the Land of Wind and Sand, my soulless body, does not eat, does not drink, does not sleep. All life is sucked from thee, only keep going holding onto one thing... I want the answer to it all but I don't even know the question why must I long for something, I cannot seek, for I know nothing it's all lost inside.
Coming back is something, the birds of death still watching, hoping I will fall, but I won't, I can't. It's coming back to me now, life slowly filling my long unfilled soul, feelings have started to return. I see my journey's nearing end. The thing I sought for so long, is only just to far away.
My knees going weak, everything a blur, the birds start to fly and circle, it's almost over, but I'm so close why did I fall, succumbing to the heat. Light fades away and all goes black it's over I know it but why so close.....
Cool, water running down my face, I feel it yet I cannot wake. I feel two smooth hands run through my hair, to eyes. They open and all I see is her face...My journey is complete.....

Finding Love
by Levi

In a great big world where true love is hard to find,
you search for that special someone to keep you
warm at night, but along your way you get played,
done over and named. Just because you wanna be
loved and you can't find that person to love.
Other people pass you by but it just doesn't feel right,
inside you just wanna feel right.
Looking for love, finding it's hard but one day I'm sure.
You'll find that special person and they'll love you with
their heart.
You'll be happy and feel good at last, hopefully it'll last
forever and not break like fallen glass.
Someone's out there looking for you and one day they'll
feel loved too...

I Wanna Hold You
by Levi

It seems as time stands still when your not here, the people of the city walk around while I stand here waiting for you to come, waiting for you to come and find me lying as I die here in this place.

I wanna hold you, I wanna feel you, I wanna see your lovely face.

Don't ever leave me or else I'll die, don't ever leave me because I'll cry. I'll always love you no matter what, you'll see that soon I'm sure enough.

I wanna hold you, I wanna feel you, I wanna see your lovely face.

I'll love you forever and always will don't ask me why cos I can't explain, the way I feel, when I'm next to you...

I Wish I Could Let You Know
by Levi

I wish I could show you how I feel, the way I feel about you, I love you but you'll never know. I love you with all my heart, all my soul, and I never want to let you go.

When I see you I feel all warm inside. I want to hold, I wanna feel your skin next to mine. I'll love you forever, but I can't explain why.
I just wanna tell you, it tear's me up inside. I see you with another guy and I think I want to cry, cos' I love you so much more, than you'll ever know.

I love you with all my heart, all my soul, and I never want to let you go.

It's happening all once more I don't know what to do. All I know is that I'll love you always, for you and only you.

I wish I could show you how I feel, the way I feel about you, I love you but you'll never know. I love you with all my heart, all my soul, and I never want to let you go.

Please just say the word and I'll be free at last, I no this sounds corny but I couldn't give a rats ass..... I LOVE YOU BABY, THERE I FINALLY LET YOU KNOW!

I love you baby and you the same, I'm glad I'm here with you.....

Beautiful to Me (Dodgy)
by Levi

Just the other day I told you how I felt. Strange but it went better than I thought, I just had to tell you you Cos it was tearing me up inside, if I'd waited any longer i would have went insane. It's all good now Cos you know. I'm happy that told.

Chorus
I'm gonna stand by you no matter what. I'll be waiting there for you, I'll change my style, change my cap just to see you smile. I love you baby Cos your beautiful to me in every single way.

When your not here I feel different inside, when your around I think that I can fly. If your sad or feeling down I'll even feel bad and start to frown but I try and make you laugh and smile again Cos there's nothing worse then knowing your down.

I wanna hold you, keep you safe at night. I promise we'll never fight, Cos I love you too much baby and I never wanna loose your trust. I'll sit down and listen to what you have to say and not make a sound. I'll tell you how I feel each day which will be calling you beautiful Cos you are in every way.

Chorus
I'm gonna stand by you no matter what. I'll be waiting there for you, I'll change my style, change my cap just to see you smile. I love you baby Cos your beautiful to me in every single way.

I'm gonna love you forever and that'll never change. I wanna make you happy so you don't feel sad. I'll give you your time alone and be there when you need. I won't call you name's or give you shit. I wanna keep that trust I've gained and know that your gonna sleep. I'm never gonna lie to you I just can't see how I could.

I love, love, love you baby cos your beautiful to me in every single way.

I love you baby
I love you baby
I love.. you.. baby

Chorus
I'm gonna stand by you no matter what. I'll be waiting there for you, I'll change my style, change my cap just to see you smile. I love you baby cos your beautiful to me in every single way.......

Searching
by Levi

I'm sitting on the river bank, calling out your
name, wondering where you've gone, and where you went
that day. My friend whom I love so much where have you
gone.
I'm standing on a mountain peak calling out to you.
Why won't you answer, why won't you come I want to
be with you.
Struggles I have faced in my search for you, why
won't you come I'm searching for you? My friend
whom I love so much I just wanna be with you.

Why Guys
by Levi

Why must it be so confusing it's such a little word,
why does it hurt us so much and tear us up inside,
why do we always want someone we can't have and
most of the time things just end up bad... Why is it
so that Love hurts us all and we don't know where
to go.
We move on but the pains still there hiding in our hearts
causing us not to care, why must this stuff happen to all
those good inside...But never happen to the pricks that
just wanna screw you in their frickin car.
I know I'm a guy but these days guys just don't care, all
they frickin want is for you suck em, they don't frickin
care.
It's all bout the sex it's all about the fame..I'm a player,
"Yeah that's right, I just screwed this chick and I didn't
even know her name."
Guy's make me sick now days they don't care about what
you feel, all they want is looks...
But sometimes you find a guy, that'll love, hold you and
know your frickin name, he'll love you and wanna be with
you and he won't care what you do...He doesn't just want
sex cos all he wants is you........

Longing
by Just-take-my-heart-i-want-you-to-have-it

You, I've been longing for
the sweet smell of your clothes
the small wisps of love you show
you, the one I'm longing for

you, I've been longing for
the gentle curve of your lips as they smile
the careful caress of your finger tips
you, the one I'm longing for

you, I've been longing for
the taste of your kisses
the scent of your hair
you, the one I'm longing for

you, I've been longing for
the look in your eyes
the beat of your heart
you, the one I'm longing for

you,I've been longing for
the tone of your voice
the heat of your love
you, the one I'm longing for

you, I've been longing for
the love we may have
the depth of our love
you, the one I'm longing for

you, I've been longing for
the desire of "us"
the hope i have
you, the one I'm longing for

you, I've been longing for
the simple push, may help
the colliding of our fears and love
you, the one I'm longing for

you, I've been longing for
the sweet success of our love
the sorrow dismay of our love
you, the one I'm longing for

you, I've been longing for
the time has now run out
the love is now gone
you, the one I'm longing for

dean rands, ok man that looks alot like one of my poems....i hope u didnt get this idea from mine...nvm iu jus realized yours was posted b4 mine...thats weird though...ours are very similar

Hourglass
by Randy East

Nows my chance to let you
know exactly how I feel
With fiery words of love and care
that warm a winters chill

You mean to me a river
Of endless flowing love
Who's waters are as pure
As the whitest country dove

I need you like
I need to breathe
Important as
a growing seed

Who's life depends
On love and light
And shelter on
A stormy night

You are my love
You are my light
You are my shelter
On that night

That night when I am lost at sea
And cannot find my way
You are the lighthouse of my
life With a perfect shinning ray

Our love will last forever
Or is Eternity defined?
For those two words are trapped
Encased in the spans of time

Yet what we have together
Is not etched in chalk
Our love is far more infinite
It completely stops the clock

The tenderness of your kiss
Creates a sudden stop in time
As if your perfect body hourglass
Gently landed on its side.

"No more tears will run down this face"

For you I will no longer obey,
I will not listen to all you say.

For you lied so much, oh yes indeed,
For you I will no longer bleed.

For you I will no longer cry,
For you I would never die.

For you I will no longer see,
For I will be what I want to be.

I will not do what you say I should,
Because to me you were never good.

I will never again lay down for you,
You have no idea what you put me trough.

I will say things I should have years ago,
I will have the guts to say finally "no".

For you I will no longer bow,
I will leave you right here, right now.

For the pain and sorrow, and every tear,
You I will no longer fear.

I will walk away with pride and grace,
No more tears will run down this face.

When will you select a winner????

"Only you..." By James Nguyen

If I could have one wish...
I would wish that I would wake up
to your beautiful face everyday..

I love the way you look at me your
eyes so bright...

There is no corner, no dark place
that your love can not fill.

I think of you each morning and
dream about you each night..

I love the joy you bring into
my life each and everyday.

I love when I'm with you...
that life makes sense again..

I love the fact...
I thought true love was just a mirage of the mind, it's an illusion, it's fake, impossible to find.

Until I met you.. now knowing
that you love me... makes me see
there is love that exists inside me..

I love that I can think our love is perfect
we fight sometimes...but true can't
be broken with a simple fight.

The thought of ever losing you
would be too much for me to
endure..
