This is kind of long, I hope that’s okay!
How often I dream of you
Stolen moments in the night
Silent memories fading into light
In my dreams I cannot hear you
Or see you quite as before
But I feel your touch and see your face
How it tears me to the core
Your long fingers gliding down my arms
Your broad smile so soft and warm
The loose wisps of hair
The emerald of your eyes
I’ve kept it all alive
For when the moon is swimming across the starry sea
Your vision in a dream, reveals itself to me
And in the endless boundaries of chimera
My heart is free to soar
Though your presence eludes me
I feel you in me forever more
If only the visions of my nights
Could be the realities of my day!
But alas , it was never meant to be
For ever a sweet illusion
You will be for me
– Me to a long lost old flame!
How wonderful!!
Mine is simple and to my other half Mike~
Forever and For Always?
I’ve just got up off the floor….yes Mr G you were right about me falling over!
Ok…
My love is like a red red rose….but without the prickles.
My valentine reads simply:
My John
I love you more then shoes… yes even the red ones
(but don’t tell the shoes)

So, what do I do, post some Valentine poetry? Ok, I will paste a valentine poem I wrote my hubby.
This Lily’s heart so pure and clear
Rings true for you my only dear
And when time doth bring me to my end
To be with you my precious friend
To see your face that I will miss
Is my one desire and only wish
You are so brave, true and good
My rock, my mate, with whom I stood.
Lorrie

p.s. 16×20 canvas print is fab, as my Orla would love it.
How it would be a wonderful present !!
Thank you !!
For Valentine’s day, I just want to say to my dearest Fiancé that I can’t wait to be his wife and spend all our Valentines together.
Forever and ever.
Mornings
Woke this morning
Birds singing in the trees
Curtains flowing
On a cool morning breeze
My mind felt clear
From a good nights sleep
We smiled at each other
No need to speak
We’ve been together long enough
So he knows the deal
With just a look
He knows
Exactly what I feel
Moments like these
Filled with sweet bliss
A man like him
Means True happiness
The last face I see
When I say good night
The first face I see
At mornings first light
The comfort I get
Just knowing he’s there
The love that I feel
Just knowing he cares
If I get restless and start to fuss
There’s nothing in this world
That I crave as much
As His soft gentle voice
His familiar touch
What could I tell you
What more can I say
It’s a beautiful way
To start off my day
What a lovely comp.
My valentines message is to my lovely boyfriend Tony.
The good times make us happier, the bad times make our love stronger. Love you forever xxxx
If you won’t be my Valentine
I’ll scream, I’ll yell, I’ll bite.
I’ll cry aloud, I’ll start to whine
If you won’t be my Valentine.
I’ll frown and fret, I’ll mope and pine, and
It will serve you right—
If you won’t be my Valentine
I’ll Scream, I’ll Yell, I’ll Bite!!!
ooo thank you (if possible i choose:I falling for you )xxx
“Everything was so dark
And one day: You.
Birds in my head
butterflies in my stomach
thank you my J. for make the sun shine.”
Wow! How lovely to have a giveaway! Hope I can enter (from Australia)
This is for my hubby:
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
Valentine.. thanks for the ice cream. That will last me until Valentines day. 🙂
Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
William Shakespeare
Love Ode to Kismet
Your face might look a tad mean and rough
But I am sure your thoughts are tender not tough
You might have a grumpy look on your mug
But no one else can put a better dead bird on Grant’s rug
Your face might show a sour puss (no pun intended)
But Kismet you are simply gorjuss!!!!
this is one my mum Taught me for y First Valetnine Poem..
I love you, I love you, I love you Almighty,
I wish your Pyjamas were next to my Nighty..
Dont be mistaken, Dont be misled..
I mean on the washing line
Not in the bed.. lol
What a lovely surprise : valentine’s giveaway… Hurray hurray
i’d say :
‘when you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong..
Just remember IN the winter far beneath the bitter snow,
lies the seed that with the sun’s love, IN the spring becomes the rose…
My husband makes me stronger every day..
Our love grows stronger every day…
Thanks my love for loving me !!!!
Love means never having to say I’m sorry.
Ok, here it goes:
You’re the sun, I’m the moon, we will never meet, but I’m still loving you.
Count me in!
To J:
I remember a Valentine’s day. Snow just started to melt and the willows were just a touch of green. Everything was subtle. I remember I was happy.
I think I’d like for you to know
that in fact I like you so
and if, in fact, you like *me* so
why then we’re lucky, don’t you know!
what a WONDERFUL giveaway! Welcome back 🙂
Mine would be a line from Robert Browning…..Grow old with me…the best is yet to come.
🙂

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden 🙂
Whee, a giveaway!
You are the one who lights my path so I can see into the darkest abyss – the reason for me to question everything in life and revolve it. I watch you from the shadows, wishing you’d know there’s a place for you in my heart…
What a great giveaway, let’s see if I can play in a foreign language 🙂
When I wanted love, you gave it.
When I desired, I received.
Accept the happiness in every color, in every shade.
And smile.
Bye, Kitty
We don’t need no flowers,
And we don’t need no card.
We don’t need champagne bubbles,
It’s really not that hard.
It’s not for just one day,
Our love is three six five,
Every day we say “I Love You”
To keep our love alive.
Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
You are like a tossing sea
And I am like your shores.
You are like an endless wave
And I your waiting sand.
And I will wait forever as
You come and smooth my hand.
I will wait forever, yet
You are a part of me.
I hold you in my arms, while you
Come to me endlessly.
Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
I love you with a love that yearns
To be your golden shores.
Having you
has given my life meaning
and every day
is a wonderful suprprise
Knowing you
has filled my being
and loving you
makes my heart overflow.
How fun & festive 🙂
Mine is for my Husband (today is his birthday as well)
You are my sunshine on a cloudy day
You are my heat when I am cold.
You are my shoulder when I am sad
You are my rock to hold on to when I am falling.
You are the jam on my peanut butter
You are the icing on my cake.
You are my first thought when I wake up
You are my last when I go to sleep.
You make me laugh, you give me strength, purpose
You challenge me, praise me, enchant me.
You are mine
You are everything.
It’s Valentine’s day,
And it’s really quite silly;
My feelings are switching around
Willy-nilly.
I’m happy, SO happy!
Then I’m feeling SO sad;
I’m gloomy, I’m joyful
Oh man, this is bad!
My body is clammy,
Then I’m in a deep sweat;
Sometimes I’m giddy,
Sometimes I fret.
I’m looking for comfort food
Deep in the frig;
Often I think
I could jump off a bridge.
What is the reason
For all the above?
It’s Valentine’s Day,
And I’m SO in love!
I’ll sail away on a bed of dreams
to dream a dream of you and me
a dream of hope
a dream of love
I’ll reach you soon my dreamy love
What a lovely giveaway…and perfect competition!
My Valentine’s message is…
You know who you are and all I can say is, I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as I will tomorrow! xo
What a beautiful giveaway!!!
Note to my Sweetie:
To the world you may be just one person,
but to one person you may be the world.
? Hold my hand, come with me to infinity and back again ?
Valentine, you make me silly;
You make my heart beat willy-nilly;
When I’m with you, the world is hazy;
Valentine, you drive me crazy!
Valentine, when we’re apart,
My need for you goes off the chart.
Will you be mine? Can I be thine?
Say you’ll be my Valentine!
Im sorry just seen this in a card and thought i was hilarious.. lol
You used to be insatiable
You were always there on cue
Now the expression “all nighter” means
Not getting up for the loo
Happy Valentines Every1
When we are far apart will sorrow break our tender hearts
I love you darling I really do
Sleep is sweet when I dreamof you
all of you is like a rose
night is here so I must close
with this I leave you on thing in mind
you must read the first word in every line
I am yours and you are mine
My wonderful amazing valentine
Thank you for everyones poems, we had a great time reading them all !
The contest is STILL OPEN and we can’t wait to see who wins.. CLOSES tomorrow night!
We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.

Poor dear cat
your valentine went missing
I hope you told those foxes off
with lots of snarls and hissing!
That’s really poo sorry lol
Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree—
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?
The wild-rose briar is sweet in the spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?
Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly’s sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He may still leave thy garland green.
Emily Bronte
Dedicating this to my hubby who is going through a difficult time at the moment…
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.”
I love you xxx
Roses are red
violets are blue!
A face like yours belongs in a zoo
Dont be mad i’ll be there too!
Not in the cage…
But waving at you 🙂
Love is … you and me forever.
O Kistune O Kistune the Gorjuss little fox,
You are so pretty in your little green smock.
Lets not forget those stripey socks.
Stars & spots placed here and there,
Everything matches beautifully with your Gorjuss brown hair.
If i win this giveaway my Kistune dear
i cannot wait for you to be here.
O how i love you my Kistune dear. 🙂
You fill my mind with pictures
You fill my heart with gladness
You fill my days with happiness
My valentine
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
My but your bum stinks,
Yet I still love you.
And that is to my fragrant OH who I love to pieces with all my heart 🙂
