A purple shower
Falls silently about me
Spring Wisteria

A dappled ocean
Waves of shaded blue in spring
A wild bluebell wood

Love that lasts for just
One kiss, one breath, one moment
Never forgotten

Choosing just one star
That will make my dreams come true
Choosing a lover

Cheeky Monkeys

My son's a cheeky monkey
And my daughter, she'll tell you,
That monkeys come in pairs, you see,
So lucky me's got two!

My daughter can be sweet, sometimes,
And occasionally my son,
And so my daughter's right, you see,
For luck gave two, not one!

So Much More Than Words Can Say (best love poems)

I'm trying to write a love song
But the words won't come out right
My heart is breaking painfully
Yet I'm lost for words tonight.

I'm trying to find some lyric
That would make you turn around
My heart cries out in agony
But my voice makes not a sound.

I'm trying to say I'm sorry
As I watch you walk away
My heart hurts so unbearably
So much more than words can say.

The Warrior's Cry

Hand me a sharpened blade, brother,
Lend me your golden shield.
Follow me now into the fight,
Our fate is not yet sealed!

Stand! Stand by my side, brother,
This day as warriors true.
Stand! Back to back my brother,
We fight, us lucky few!

We shall not die today, brother,
We shall not lose this fight.
Our battle cries, like lions' roars,
Shout courage over might!

Hand me a sharpened blade, brother,
Lend me your golden shield.
We fight! We fight today, brother!
We take the bloody field!
