Silly Love Poems Month Wrap Up: "I Will" - The Beatles

Silly Love Poem: Narcissistic martyrdom

Narcissistic martyrdom -
Pettiness reigns.
Impetuous manipulation -
Its melodramatic enforcer.
Jealousy seeps in -
Possessive and scheming;
Ambivalent and overzealous.
Advancing -
The loneliness,
of the shackles of control.
Void -
the freedom of intimacy.

Silly Love Poem: Hopeless romantics

Hopeless romantics -
some say  fools,
Easily taken in,
by flirtatious misrule.


Head in the clouds 
Cupid's backlight.
A Broadway production -
Violins and candlelight.


Moonlight waltzing:
Draped in silk gazebo,
adorned by cherry trees -
A lady and her fellow.


Midnight rendezvous,
riverside stroll.
Holding hands -
Two souls made whole.

Silly Love Poem: Spellbound and dreaming

Spellbound and dreaming -
Of hypnotizing eyes,
that bedazzle,
like celestial bodies
in a midnight sky.
With the luster
of pearls,
in the bewitching light
of a full moon.
Piercing;
Enchanting;
Mesmerizing.

Silly Love Poem: Silver screen features

Silver screen features,
of a classic
celluloid princess.
A modern day
Audrey Hepburn,
Myrna Loy or Ruby Keeler -
Grace and class.
Playful and spontaneous;
Gentle yet fortified;
Compassionate and kind.
A tender soul -
Soulful tears of sincerity:
Glistening eyes flutter,
as her bottom lip
quivers,
melting
my guarded heart.
Defenses down,
I let her in.
Mutual security:
A bond of friendship-
Forged in trust.

Silly Love Poem: The heart of a woman - Archive

The heart of a woman
is a sacred place
filled with compassion and charity.
Her eyes,
are full of tender mercies.
The hands,
nurture and heal a broken heart.
Her smile,
radiate the happiness and joy
found in the Savior's love.

Silly Love Poem: Anytime, anywhere - Archive


Anytime, anywhere:
Call and I'll be there.
In the middle of the night:
When a nightmare
makes you scream.
Or when some silly boy,
has broken your heart;
Picking up the pieces -
Together.
Don’t hesitate to call,
when you’re feeling
sad and lonely,
struggling to smile.
When I’m not around,
do not despair,
for in your heart,
I will always be near -
Anytime, anywhere.

Silly Love Poem: A simple man

A simple man
with a simple life -
Three kids and a wife.
Long past head games
and turnstile romance.
Settled down -
Living the dream;
Cherishing the moments.
Mundane and ordinary -
Blessedly extraordinary.
True married bliss -
And that's everything.



Silly Love Poem: Grace

Grace -
Reflecting regality.
Purity -
Reflecting virtue.
Compassion - 
Reflecting divinity.
Understanding -
Reflecting mercy.
Boldness -
Reflecting conviction.
Confidence -
Reflecting humility.

Silly Love Poem: Across the room

Across the room -
Pulling me in;
Warm and inviting.
Wrapped in your arms -
A squeeze and a snuggle.
Becoming one -
Embraced in ecstasy.
I'm glad you're here
holding me.
Head pillowed on my chest
listening to my heart race -
Breathless.

Silly Love Poem: I sit here day after day - Archive

I sit here day after day
writing silly love poems.
They start off much the same way:
How I couldn't
live another day -
Without her;
And if I was her knight in shining armor
I would take her to my castle far away.
Yet three little words 
matter most -
I love you
is all that needs to be said.
Simple and direct;
Sincere and fundamental.

Silly Love Poem: Love

Love:
Allusive;
Hesitant,
Fickle embrace.
Wandering;
Wondering.
Left to chance -
Falls.
Giving up;
Giving in.

Silly Love Poem: Restless


Restless -
Tossing and turning.
I look out the window
and watch the rain.
She haunts my thoughts -
I picture her.
I'm wide awake -
Yet dreaming.


Silly Love Poem: So far away


So far away -
Wishing you were here
to have all to myself.
But my desire is selfish -
For such talent and ability
cannot be contained,
imprisoned or limited,
but innately flourishes.



Silly Love Poem: Dear God - Archive



Dear God,
I thought I would pray
and let you know my sweetheart
is pretty OK.
Thank you for sending her down to earth.
I bet it was pretty hard to let her go -
I know you two were very close.
I see your reflection in her eyes.
I love her a lot
as I know you do too.
I’ll take care of her
and bring her home safely to you.
It sure was nice of you
to bring us together.
She is a wonderful friend
and will be forever.
Love, Your son.

Silly Love Poem: She said hello

She said hello -
in a voice,
soft and gentle.
Playful conversation;
Flirtatious laughter .
She teases,
"I'll break your heart."
Rolling my eyes,
"Don't even start."
Sharing a log,
draped by a quilt.
Hear head resting
on my shoulder
as the sun rises.

Silly Love Poems Month Valentines Day Intermission: "My Valentine" - Paul McCartney



Another song by Mr. McCartney to help celebrate Valentines Day. Hope you enjoyed yours.

Silly Love Poem: I wish I knew - Archive

I wish I knew,
all her dreams and aspirations,
that I might help,
make them come true.
Assisting to unlock,
the strength and beauty,
she has inside.
Letting her know,
what a blessing,
she is in my life.

Silly Love Poem: It's hard to explain - Archive


It's hard to explain;
Can’t put it into words,
the way she makes me feel,
when I talk to her.
Like the safety a child knows -
In his mother’s arms.
Or the happiness a warm smile brings -
From a benevolent stranger.
How I long to hear her voice,
to let her know the sweet serenity,
her heart has shared with mine.

Silly Love Poem: Sophia Sublime

Sophia Sublime,
whose crackling eyes stop time,
May I inquire
where they got their fire?

Like a torrent of sunlight they explode
launching a hundred tales to be told;
In vivid waterfalls of light -
A blinding sight.

Auburn locks
to which silly boys do flock;
Adorned with colorful ribbons and bows;
Down cascading curls they flow.

Framing the soft curves of your face -
Smooth and inviting features they embrace.
A gleeming smile that melts;
Dreams of silky lips being felt.

An ethereal dance with mischievous flashes
hidden by the flutter of your butterfly lashes.
A subtle and smooth turn of the shoulder
makes your suitor much bolder.

Inviting yet dismissive
making him starry eyed and submissive.
Engulfed in a blissful trance;
The hope of a stolen chance.

Silly Love Poem: Sister Charity - Archive

Sister Charity -
Pondering her face.
Engulfed,
in the radiance,
of her countenance.
Parting the veil;
Testifying,
of a daughter -
true and faithful.
Of a brother,
who redeemed all -
if we but follow him.


Silly Love Poem: Piercing eyes - Archive

Piercing eyes,
cut through my heart,
into my soul,
refusing to let go.
Nervously dreaming,
of a captured moment,
not so far away.
When I’ll stop runnin’,
and let you in.


Silly Love Poem: Just one kiss - Archive

Just one kiss.
Is that too much to ask?
Can't contract
a fatal disease.
It might be fun -
Or so I’ve heard.
Oh!
Wont you kiss me please?
My lips are lonely,
in want of a friend,
And he thinks yours
are just what he needs.

Silly Love Poem: Taken much too early


Taken much too early,
but in my heart -
You've never left.
As I close my eyes,
visions come.
I can almost hear
the joyous sounds of laughter.
I see you,
light and breezy,
in a summer dress.
Twirling -
Floating above the ground.
Sensing the unconditional love
of a warm embrace.
An ephemeral parting,
but we'll be together again -
Someday.
Gazing,
into each others eyes.
Knowing,
the love we share -
Never waned.
For we are eternally
a part of one another.

Silly Love Poem: My Friend


My friend,
she's a charmer.
A heart of gold;
The face of an saint;
Sparkling eyes;
A beguiling smile;
That wrap me
around her little finger.



Silly Love Poem: I want so much more - Archive


I want so much more
than love and affection
and someone to call my own.
A heart that is lonely,
Hopes -
For that which will make it whole.
So much more -
Than a kind gesture
or a playful grin -
But a love that is pure.

Silly Love Poem: Seeing the beauty - Archive


Seeing the beauty;
Knowing the woman -
She is.
Strong and unwavering;
The rest of all tomorrows,
blessed by the presence,
of an angel -
Sent down to earth.


Silly Love Poem: Hand in hand - Archive


Hand in hand,
we walk together.
Blessed -
To have each other.
The peace and comfort
that it brings,
makes us forever grateful -
For a friend
and love so dear.

Silly Love Poem: Evening chill rush



Evening chill rush;
Silent serenity.
Sealing embrace.
Stars blanket the heavens.
A precious moment;
A celestial gift.
Enchanted union;
Alchemy of devotion.

Silly Love Poem: A breathless spark



A breathless spark,
as quivering lips touch.
Committed,
to loving each other -
Forever and always.
Hearts abounding in love:
For what is at this moment -
And the infinite steps,
taken along the way -
Together.

Silly Love Poem: Though you feel alone - Archive


Though you feel alone,
someone out there
loves you,
as much as you will love him.
Someday,
your paths will cross -
When you least expect it.
The pain and heartache,
of too many days and nights
spent alone -
Will dissipate;
Replaced,
by the warmth and security
of companionship.
