A Valentine to a Little Child

by Evaleen Stein

Dear heart, on this thrice-blessed day,
An thou my sweetheart be,
The rose of love shall bide always
Upon the red-rose tree.

And in the garden of my heart
So ceaselessly shall shine,
The little birds will know thou art
Mine own true Valentine.

And I will bid them wing and sing
To all good winds that blow,
That to thy little feet they bring
All blessings, even so.

And o’er thy cradle I will coax,
By every lucky charm,
The friendship of the fairy folks
To fold thee from all harm.

So may they hover round thy head
And gently thereupon,
As doth the April sunshine, shed
Most gracious benison.

And all fair gifts that Fortune hath,
I’ll pray she promise these,
And that she loose about thy path
All sweet influences.

Then here’s a kiss! and there’s a kiss!
And kisses, one, two, three!
I seal them in the folds of this,
And speed them unto thee!

Wind and Window Flower

by Robert Frost
Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,
She a window flower,
And he a winter breeze.

When the frosty window veil
Was melted down at noon,
And the caged yellow bird
Hung over her in tune,

He marked her through the pane,
He could not help but mark,
And only passed her by
To come again at dark.

He was a winter wind,
Concerned with ice and snow,
Dead weeds and unmated birds,
And little of love could know.

But he sighed upon the sill,
He gave the sash a shake,
As witness all within
Who lay that night awake.
Perchance he half prevailed
To win her for the flight
From the firelit looking-glass
And warm stove-window light.

But the flower leaned aside
And thought of naught to say,
And morning found the breeze
A hundred miles away.

An Intercepted Valentine

Administrator — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:32:45 +0000

Little Bo-Peep, will you be mine?
I want you for my Valentine.
You are my choice of all the girls,
With your blushing cheeks and your fluttering curls,
With your ribbons gay and your kirtle neat,
None other is so fair and sweet.
Little Bo-Peep, let’s run away,
And marry each other on Midsummer Day;
And ever to you I’ll be fond and true

Waiting

Administrator — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 06:13:36 +0000

Fading of the day
As night takes over
And I can almost feel
You here

Your memory remains
I breath it closer
I swear that I still feel you near

The cool wind is taking over
it’s taking over

So far away
You’re gone so long
ohh and I’m waiting

Till that day
I take you home
know that I’m waiting
know that I’m waiting
know that I’m waiting

Haunted by your grace
You know I’m falling
So cold without you
You are always in my mind
I hear you calling

So far away
You’re gone so long
ohh and I’m waiting

So far away
you’re gone so long
ohh and I’m waiting

Till that day
I take you home
know that I’m waiting
know that I’m waiting

Right Here Waiting For You

Administrator — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 04:26:33 +0000

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn’t stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can’t get near you now

Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me goin’ CrAzY

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I’m with you
I’ll take the chance

Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me goin’ crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Till The Sky Falls Down

Administrator — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 04:21:51 +0000

Its been so long since i have touched you
I can’t remember how it feels
To have your loving arms around me
This is the pain i’ve never healed

All my life i have been searching
For someone honest just like you
You left me here without a reason
Every tear belongs to you

I’ll be waiting
Till the sky falls down
Till you come around, baby

I’ll be waiting
Till the sky falls down
Let the rain clouds come

All I need is one good answer
To understand why you are gone
Everything reminds me of you
Without you i cant go on

I’ll be waiting
Till the sky falls down
Till you come around, baby

I’ll be waiting
Till the sky falls down
Let the rain clouds come

When I Look Into Your Eyes

Administrator — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:11:00 +0000

When I look into your eyes, I am nothing but surprised.
I know about your past and how it didn’t last,
How you got hurt, burnt, Abused and used,
and i bet your confused.

You deserve better, if not always and forever.
You said you didn’t care, But you couldn’t bare,
Isn’t it such a scare.

Let me into your life and Ill show you that I care.
Like an endless dream Ill always be there.
I know your busy but please make time.
Working so much should be a crime.

You need time alone, and some time to think,
Let your feelings out why having a drink.
Forget about the past and look to the future,
I know your not ready, and I’m not trying to push you,
Just wanted to let you know that ill always be with you.

Just Thinking of You

Administrator — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:10:09 +0000

Watching whitecaps roll into the ocean of blue.
With a smile on my face just thinking of you.

The sweet memories, the tender moments we’ve shared.
They caress me like the soft breeze that fills the air.

The loving feeling I get when I hold your hand.
The summer night when we walked in the sand.

Waves splashing on the rocks along the shoreline.
Brings tears to my eyes knowing that your mine.

Sharing a love like ours my happy heart sighs.
Watching the violet clouds carelessly floating by.

Lonely Nights

Administrator — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:08:52 +0000

Since you’re gone
There is an empty space
Since you’re gone
The world is not the same

I go back to the places we’ve been
It feels like you’re still there
I live all those moments again
Wishing you were here

Since you’re gone
There is a lonely heart
Since you’re gone
Nothing is like it was

There are memories all over the place
Bringing it back all so clear
I remember all of those days
Wishing you were here

Since you’re gone
There is a heart that bleeds
Since you’re gone
I’m not the man I used to be

I follow you’re steps in the snow
The traces disappear
We know what we’ve lost when it’s gone
I’m wishing you were here

All those lonely nights
I lied on my bed and cried
I still think of you
Yes I do

I’m Thinking of You

Administrator — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:08:00 +0000

With you I can be fee cause I know you love me
You’ll never judge anything I say and you’ll let me be
Every feeling for you I make sure to show
You are the smile on my face if I ever feel low

You’re a person who is the best so true and kind
Your love and soul took me 3 years to find
Yet the whole time you were standing in front of me
Yet to the world around us it was so obvious to see

I’m lost in your eyes each time I connect with your heart
In my heart heart and mind you’ll always be a part
These feelings continue to grow to the love of my life
You are my sunshine who took away all my strife

You are my eternal life the smile of my soul
Its your presence and love that keeps me whole
You are the dream I see every single night
A love between you and me I must hold tight

I fall in love with you every time I see your face
In your heart and mind I’ll be and no other place
You are my should to cry on, we were meant to be
Forever in each others heart, baby thank you for loving me
