Love doesn’t hurt, love doesn’t stray
love doesn’t waver, day to day.
Love has no doubt, nor apprehension
no dread, mistrust, unease or tension.
No overbearing stress or strain
no unrelenting, constant pain.
Love doesn’t stand for disrespect
dishonor, insult or neglect.
Love builds esteem and heightens pleasure
thrives and builds a priceless treasure.
Nurtured souls rise to ascend
Ad loving hearts know, no end.

Always Be My Valentine
As time goes by from year to year,
One thing is surely true, my dear;
Though decades come and decades go,
Just seeing you sets me aglow.
Time shifts my body; I start to sag,
When I pass a mirror, it can make me gag.
My joints all ache; I can hardly move;
Still a smile from you, and I’m in the groove.
Getting older can be a pain,
But with you along, I can’t complain.
Despite the things that we go through,
I know I’ll never stop loving you.
Your loving heart turns life to play,
As we laugh at time from day to day.
So I write this poem, and I’ll hang my sign,
Saying, “Always Be My Valentine.”
Stay True
Soft caresses, stolen kisses,
precious moments, love and wishes.
Hope, reality, shared dreams,
life is never what it seems.
Secret glances, smiles, a wink,
this is ours, let them think.
Giggles, laughs, giddy heights
when I’m with you, my life, my light.
Tender touches of body and soul,
staying together the ultimate goal
I loved you then, love you now,
trying to show you somehow.
Stay true my darling, for it will be,
our Happy Ever After, wait and see.
