On The Wings Of Love

My Forever
Valentine

by Myself

As February comes, with feelings of love,
For a one with hair so fine.
       "Come hither my dear,
       I long to be near.
My dearest and forever Valentine."

She wraps her arms snakelike around me,
For this girl I love is mine.
       "Let's lie over there,
       On the bed by the chair."
Says my tender sweet Valentine.

I unbutton her clothes with a passion,
After a swift bottle of wine.
        Our Love knows no bounds,
        With the touch and the sounds.
With my amour Valentine.

February may be the month of Love,
But we never stay in line.
        My Love lasts all year,
        With my precious dear.
My darling & forever Valentine.

I Am Not Yours

by Sarah Teasdale

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, though I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love - - put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

She Walks In
Beauty

by Lord Byron

She walks in Beauty, like the night
   Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
   Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
   Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
   Had half-impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
   Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
   How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
   So soft, so calm , yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
   But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
   A heart whose love is innocent!
