Poetry written just for you?

Well, I was just cleaning out my email account and came accross some poetry written just for my by an old boyfriend.. he wrote a LOT more than I am willing to share today, but if you have some special poetry someone wrote, just for you, why not share it with us. It should be something special just written by you or for you... both are sure to give us that long lost feeling of what may have been....

This is what I got after I ended the relationship.....

I am a compass that has no needle
A waterfall without water
I am a cloudless night with no stars
If you are not ! with me.

I am a sun that gives no light
A fir e without warmth
I am a big book without any words
If I'm not by your side.

I am a boat without a sail
An earth without goodness
I am all alone not able to love
If I cannot love you.

I am a rainbow that has no colour
A tornado without force
I am a sleeping bear that will never wake
I you decide you don't want me.

I'm not surprised you didn't get back with him after reading that mush.

Aaahh Richdod, where is your sense of romance... if you think that was mushy, I may also share something of what he wrote during our short time together.. man I would put it into the section "erotic poetry" no mush there..... but not today.. let's see what others come up with have you ever written something really romantic to a girl??

Hehe, nope. I'm not saying I wouldn't, but i've never met anyone that drove me to write any, and to be honest i'm a different kind of romantic anyway.

Re: Poetry written just for you?

I wrote a song for my ex once, that you could sing to "Que Sera Sera"

I can not find it, but it was something like this:

When i was just a little boy,
I asked my mother, who will it be ?
Will she be pretty, wil she be nice ?
she whispered Nathalie

Que sera sera,
Together, the world us see,
The future is ours to be
Que sera sera
together we will be

Something similar to above, and she loved it :-)

Doc.

Re: Poetry written just for you?

You said you'd give the moon to me,
Wrapped up in a silver comet.
But all I got was a cup of tea:
You make me want to vomit!

I even remembered she wanted two sugars in it. No pleasing some people...

Re: Poetry written just for you?

If I was the only girl in the world,
And you the only man:
Living on things we'd find in the wild,
And beans cold out of the can;

Dancing nude in rainstorms,
Chasing wolves with sticks;
Making fires of banknotes,
Oh, how we'd get our kicks!

If you were the only man in the world,
And I the only girl:
I'd have to use a candlestick
Cos you make me want to hurl!

Sometimes I wish I'd never encouraged her to take that creative writing course...

I tried to look it up, but it seems like he has taken that song off his web after he got married to the girl he meet after me. How strange is that?
There might be a slim change though that I saved it on a disc somewhere, I will see if I can find it.
Well, the song was named "Scars" and was about how I could get inside of him to see everything about him, even his old scars...

Re: Poetry written just for you?

DB, I can't believe someone would write you a poem like that, who could not adore you?

I've got a big long list of them here, in my 'not my friends any more' book.

Do you want me to name them, one by one, detailing my longstanding grudges with each and every one of them?

Well, let me start with Darren Meakin at the playgroup. He took the green crayon when I needed it to draw some grass, and then the session was finished, and everybody laughed because my grass was purple and it was because that was the only colour there was left and I hated him from that day onward and he hated me so he's in my 'not my friends any more' book.

And then there's... hang on, phone's ringing. I'll list the rest of them later...

Re: Poetry written just for you?

Here's a slightly nicer one I received from an admirer just this evening:

Oh Dougal, you're a charming man,
As handsome as Adonis.
I'll stay with you till the end of time:
I'll never leave, I promise!
I love your eyes, I love your teeth,
(Although they're slightly wonky),
But best of all, I love the fact
That you're hung like a donkey!

Re: Poetry written just for you?

Take me up to Canada!
I want to see the Rockies!
And moose and bears and wildebeeste!
And penguins rode by jockeys!

Take me to a mountain top
To see the view so splendid!
Let me eat cheese curd and fries
(If not, I'll be offended!)

Take me to the rapids there!
We'll go white water rafting
And after that, you'll bring me home
And give me a good... (will this phone ever stop ringing tonight? )

Re: Poetry written just for you?

DB, with so many poems written for you, I am not surprised that you kept them.

It must be a very big book.
