There is always something beautiful and romantic about Valentine's Day Poems!
Beautiful Romantic Poems that young lovers write to each other or poems; that strike a chord in one's memory, or reach out and touch your beloved's heart.
Poems; that awaken memories of holding hands and looking deep into his/her eyes.
Of course we may buy a box of chocolates, a few roses, a card that creates a Valentine's Day feeling or perhaps a dinner for two.
But a poem written from the heart, like this week's poem from Neil O'Donoghue can say more then everything.
When
(For Mary: My forever Valentine)
When waters cease to touch the shore
New born babies fail to cry
When summer suns no longer set,
My love for you will die
When moonlights glow on lovers, fade,
And stars refuse to shine,
When mother's arms don't heal each woe,
Your love will not be mine
When eyes don't meet in crowded rooms
And Santa does not show,
When roses loose their fragrance
From you I'll have to go.
When absence won't cause hearts to ache
Words of love we no longer send
When lips don't meet to seal our dreams
Then our love affair will end
