Life in a Love

Life in a Love by Robert Browning

Escape me?
Never--
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at least, I fear:
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,
And, baffled, get up and begin again,--
So the chace takes up one's life, that's all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope goes to ground
Than a new one, straight to the self-same mark,
I shape me--
Ever
Removed!

When I saw you...

When I saw you...

when I first saw you
I missed the comfort of being sad
seeing you from far away
without telling you about my heart
I couldn't bare holding my thoughts
about how much I would like
to hold you and fill you with joy
when I first saw you,
I knew my love for you was never going to die.

U Make Me

You make me laugh when I want to cry,
Make me live when I want to die,
Make me smile when I want to frown,
You turn my life upside down.
Believe in me when no one else does
You?re my now, my is, my was.
When you call my name I begin to blush,
I'm afraid people notice I need you so much.
When I'm with you time flies by fast.
It's like the present is the past.
I need you more than you can believe,
Love you more than you can conceive.
Think about you every night and day
And hope my life can stay this way

I don't want it to be any other way.

Promise?

Promise?

Love me. Hug me. Remember me. Promise?
Call my name. Be my friend. Don't leave me. Promise?
Don't hurt me. Protect me. Comfort me. Promise?
Don't turn your back on me. Don't ignore me. Be happy for me. Promise?
Move on without me. Forget me. Be happy even if it hurts me. Promise?
Let go of me. Fall in love again. Don't come back for me. ...Promise

Someone

Someone

Someone in my heart beyond all my pride,
Holds a secret desire so intense deep inside.
Imprisoned with all my passion and love,
Unknown to anyone but the lord up above.
A desire for someone to cherish and hold,
The need for love to call my own.

Someone who keeps me shining day and night,
Someone to kiss and make up with after a fight.
Someone who appreciates and respects all I can be,
Someone who?s strong enough to commit and love only me.
Someone who will be there to kiss away my tears,
Secure my doubts and release my fears.
Someone who can restore my faith in love once again.

This love is like a dream that has yet to become true,
Or to believed until I found you...

Until We Met I Didn't Know

Until We Met I Didn't Know

Until we met I didn't know
How light a heart could be;
How, chained to one by bonds of love,
I still could feel so free.

I didn't realize that my dreams
Could ever be so real;
Or when I had all I could want,
Exactly how I'd feel.

This year of love has brought me through
A long-awaited door:
Were angels parked along our skies,
I could not love you more.

If You Forget Me

If You Forget Me

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

"Dreams Come True"

"Dreams Come True"

In the middle of the night;
I awaken.
Dreams on my mind;
Love in the make’n.
Was it the kiss;
moister on my lips.
Or maybe the goosebumps
from the caress of your fingertips.
Hear the pounding
of my heart beat.
Love surrounding
the night in heat.
Never fails, my dreams of you;
To awaken by love that is true.
I don’t mind my nights awake;
when it’s dreams of you that I make.
Those dreams are made-up of
what lie inside.
A swollen heart of love;
Your my joy and that I pride.
I can’t think of a better reason why;
You stole my heart,You caught my eye.
And so long as I have you;
I have a dream come true

"Love Is Hidden"

Love Is Hidden

I have a feeling that is strong
A feeling deep inside
A feeling i must never share
A love i have to hide
i wish so much that i could tell
My feelings all to you
I hope so much that you’d listen
And say you love me too
But it wouldnt work,
I dont know how it could
I cry because it can’t
Because it never would
I know that you’re too much
More than i ever had
And now you wont be mine
So now i am sad
You probably wont believe
These words i just said
Then why is my heart dying
And why is it dead

Ah Love

Ah Love

What is it with Love
That makes me
then breaks me?

When in love
Do I truly love?

Is it really love
Or do I think that I love?

Maybe I just love being in love
Or love the idea of being in love?

I spent my whole life chasing love.
In the end the one thing I truly love
Could just be the meir pursuit of love.

Author's Note: ‘meir' in hebrew (m'r) means 'that which burns brightly, that which illuminates'.
This poem was Inspired by the viewing of Satoshi Kon's ‘Millenium Actress'.

"I Said to Love"

I said to Love,
"It is not now as in old days
When men adored thee and thy ways
All else above;
Named thee the Boy, the Bright, the One
Who spread a heaven beneath the sun,"
I said to Love.

I said to him,
"We now know more of thee than then;
We were but weak in judgment when,
With hearts abrim,
We clamoured thee that thou would'st please
Inflict on us thine agonies,"
I said to him.

I said to Love,
"Thou art not young, thou art not fair,
No faery darts, no cherub air,
Nor swan, nor dove
Are thine; but features pitiless,
And iron daggers of distress,"
I said to Love.

"Depart then, Love! . . .
- Man's race shall end, dost threaten thou?
The age to come the man of now
Know nothing of? -
We fear not such a threat from thee;
We are too old in apathy!

Mankind shall cease.--So let it be,"
I said to Love. Thomas Hardy
