Love in Ten Sentences

Thank you to the following kind writers who have nominated me to join in the Love in Ten Sentences challenge.

Author Erika Kind
A Walk on the Bright Side
Poetic Parfait

The challenge is to write a ten line poem each containing four words and the letter “love”. Well, sometimes I love a challenge – will I be able to write one that will actually make sense? Here goes!

Aching

I ache for love,
The only love that
Your love can provide.
True love lifts me;
In love’s warmth my
Heart melts love—so
Much love that when
Love has died, in
Time your love will
Be my only love.

Does this poem even make any sense?

My Own Favorite Love Quote
My heart melts love when I think of you
V. Buirski 2015 (I just made it up!)

Intense love does not measure, it just gives

Worlds Apart

image

Remembering the touch of your hands
As they caress the softness of my skin
You are not here, do you remember
The times we have shared, those moments alone
When the world faded away, and it was only you and me
Where are you now? How I long for the touch of your hands—
I crave you

By My Side

image

I love all that you do for me
All that you say
I love all our sweet memories
Hidden away
I love all that I know of you
From that first day
You flew into my life
And stayed by my side

Your Shadow

At times when sadness overwhelms
And I cannot see past my own tears
Your presence comforts me
Even though we are not together
Your shadow warms my heart and reminds me
We are never apart

Trust

Ballet partners dancing against painted blue wooden planks

Trust is a dance
Between you and me
Trusting that you will never let me down
And if you let me go
To fall to the floor
The music will fade to silence
And I will dance with you
No more

You and Me

image

When I lose my faith
You give it back to me
When I forget to love
Your love recaptures me
When I have no friends
Your friendship comforts me
Wherever you might be
That is where I want to be

Love Me Forever

image

Take my hand and love me forever
Hold me close and never let me go
Cherish me and I will be yours
Until the sun sets and rises no more

Motherhood

image

My heart is yours to share
Your burdens will I bear
I will love you for your life
And shield you from all strife

I Love You!

image

The love I feel for you
Overtakes your every plea
I long to be right by your side
When days fly by and nights are long
You are my dream, my winter’s fire
You are the brightness in the sun
You are my love, my company
You and I were meant to be
Thank you for loving me
And I love you!
