A Valentine to My Wife


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Accept, dear girl, this little token,
And if between the lines you seek,
You'll find the love I've often spoken—
The love my dying lips shall speak.

Our little ones are making merry
O'er am'rous ditties rhymed in jest,
But in these words (though awkward—very)
The genuine article's expressed.

You are as fair and sweet and tender,
Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine,
As when, a callow youth and slender,
I asked to be your Valentine.

What though these years of ours be fleeting?
What though the years of youth be flown?
I'll mock old Tempus with repeating,
"I love my love and her alone!"

And when I fall before his reaping,
And when my stuttering speech is dumb,
Think not my love is dead or sleeping,
But that it waits for you to come.

So take, dear love, this little token,
And if there speaks in any line
The sentiment I'd fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your Valentine?
-Eugene Field

Foreseeable Truth

I live in most, if not all, children.

Many teenagers neglect me, and usually, all adults

You Know I Love You

I'll be with you as long as you want me to,

Until the end of time.

The day I met

My Silent Tears

 

Shh...listen, don't you hear?

I'm crying, but they are silent tears.

Lover Far Away

I lay in my bed and think about you.

I love you so much' I don't know what to do.

JINDGI YE JINDGI KAISI HAI YE JINDGI

-koi diwana tha tere pyaar me

koi pagal kehta hai to koi diwana kehta hai

me tumse dur kese rahun tu mujhse dur kese ra

bohot see yaaden

Zindagi kabhi hasati hai, kabhi rulati hai,

Kabhi khushi deti hai, kabhi gam de jaati hai

Love Me Tomorrow

Love me tomorrow, for it is a new day

Love me again like you did the first day

Lo

A Book of Verse
A book of verse, underneath the bough,
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread - and thou
Beside me sin
