    One of my favorites by Francis William Bourdillon

    The night has a thousand eyes,
    And the day but one;
    Yet the light of the bright world dies
    With the dying sun.

    The mind has a thousand eyes,
    And the heart but one;
    Yet the light of a whole life dies
    When love is done.

    I'm sorry but i have to. I just...have to.

    In the spare of the moment I looked to your eyes for the easy comfort that I'd looked for seeing the slow moving waves swaying but a rapid uncontrollable tide set ablaze only seeing me in the reflection knowing I was the cause.

    In the spare of the moment I knew that what I thought was freedom was but a sentence to life in your tormenting prison.

    In the spare of the moment I knew that the illusion that I thought was love was but a trick of evil deception locking me away in the depths of your heart.
    In the spare of the moment I knew I had given it to you, I knew that I had given you the satisfaction to control my life. I left for you, after these words you con me into saying and you stole it away before I knew what I had done and when I realized it I thought I could break it but I couldn't because that was part of it to give you more power.

    In the spare of the moment I thought I had broken your spell that you so simply called love not knowing its lingering affects. Not knowing I had sealed more a long hand delivered what you wanted straight to control, you wanted me to say it then scare me into denial thus leaving me to run trapping myself. In the spare of the moment my life was over, I was at your disposal, I died there in an instance.

    In the spare of that very moment you used your "love” to leave me with but guilt and despair and I figured I couldn’t help it as this power was too great for my soul to contain so you harness it to your own power. I gave you the reins to my heart for you to whip me for the rest of my life and yet every lash left a tiny but indefinite painful scar for me to live with and show. You had everything you could possibly want and I gave it to you. In the spare of the moment.

    ...........In the spare of that very moment you won.

    ....In that moment I died

    ... In that moment love changed all and transformed to power.....

    In that moment love chained me down.

    Love can shift the tables..............*whispers and fades* in the spare of.....a moment.

    Look into Percy Shelley's works.

    Here's one from Percy.

    Love's Philosophy

    The Fountains mingle with the Rivers
    And the Rivers with the Oceans,
    The winds of Heaven mix forever
    With a sweet emotion;
    Nothing in the world is single;
    All things by a law divine
    In one spirit meet and mingle.
    Why not I with thine? --

    See the mountains kiss high Heaven
    And the waves clasp one another;
    No sister-flower would be forgiven
    If it disdained its brother,
    And the sunlight clasps the earth
    And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
    What is all this sweet work worth
    If thou kiss not me?
    And of course I can't come into a poetry topic and not mention Walt Whitman.

    my fav poem

    I knew a simple soldier boy
    Who grinned at life in empty joy,
    Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
    And whistled early with the lark.
    In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
    With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
    He put a bullet through his brain.
    No one spoke of him again.

    You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
    Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
    Sneak home and pray you'll never know
    The hell where youth and laughter go.
    probably not one to tell your girl, but its great

    “I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

    I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    God topples from the sky, hell’s fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan’s men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

    I fancied you’d return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)”
    I really like this one

    David Brent

    I froze your tears and made a dagger
    And stabbed it in my c[COLOR="Black"]o[/COLOR]ck forever
    It stays there like Excalibur
    Are you my Arthur?
    Say you are

    Take this cool dark steeled blade
    Steal it, sheath it
    In your lake
    I drown with you to be together
    Must you breathe?
    Cos I need Heaven

    Surely posters like Jasi and Rufus know some serious poetry, being the sensitive men of heart that they are.

    I'm sure she'll like this one OP:

    Love by Philip Larkin

    The difficult part of love
    Is being selfish enough,
    Is having the blind persistence
    To upset an existence
    Just for your own sake.
    What cheek it must take.

    And then the unselfish side –
    How can you be satisfied,
    Putting someone else first
    So that you come off worst?
    My life is for me.
    As well ignore gravity.

    Still, vicious or virtuous,
    Love suits most of us.
    Only the bleeder found
    Selfish this wrong way round
    Is ever wholly rebuffed,
    And he can get stuffed.
