Welcome:
In this latest edition of Poems From the Jersey Shore I decided to put together some of the poems I’ve written dealing with love. All of these poems were written from little bit and quips which popped into my head. I guess you could say all the prompts for the poems came from stuff which happen each day in our lives.
Love is all around us all you have to do is take the time to put your heart out there and see what returns. I hope you like enjoy reading them and they encourage you to go out and love more each day.
"Where there is love there is life."
–Mahatma Gandhi
The Kinda Love
They say that
For love to be strong,
For love to be true
The love must be
At the heart of you
Then and only then
Will your love be
The kinda love that
Lasts for all eternity
I’m glad i know
The kinda love
That shines through
My hopes, my dreams,
My tears too
The kinda love
That makes friendships
Endure the test of years
The kinda love
That calms the storm
Quiets all my fears
The kinda love
that can be shared
With everyone i meet
Don’t want to hold anything back
I want everyone to se e
The kinda love
That i have for jesus
Sometimes love is as tasty as ice cream.
Timothy Whitt
“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” – Dr. Seuss
I Adore You
What do I deserve from you
Yet you reserve a place for me
We will live together forever
My life is already borrowed from you
In a place where death has no sting
I am so glad I met you
I adore you
I adore you
The one to whom I’ve
Given my love
I took my live and gave
It to you
I had nothing else to
Offer you
Living has improved cause
I know you
I adore you
I adore you
The one to whom i’ve
Given my love
In all those times when
A lover gets a broken heart
I hope I will never break yours
Not me, through you my life
Was truly blessed
I adore you
I adore you
The one to whom i’ve
Given my love
“I would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.” – J.R.R. Tolkien
Just Want You to Know
They say that
For love to be strong,
For love to be true
The love of jesus must
Must be at the heart of you
Then and only then
Will your love be
The kinda love that
Lasts for all eternity
I’m glad i know
The kinda love
That shines through
My hopes, my dreams,
My tears too
The kinda love
That makes friendships
Endure the test of years
The kinda love
That calms the storm
Quiets all my fears
The kinda love
that can be shared
With everyone i meet
Don’t want to hold anything back
I want everyone to se e
The kinda love
That i have for jesus
“Love is the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person.” – James Thurber
Secondhand Emotion
Well, i don’t get it
Yeah, i just don’t get it
I don’t get the notion
Why people call love
A secondhand emotion
It’s not hard to tell
What love’s all about
Wonder if they know
I have my doubts
All i know is
When love settles in
When love settles in
When love settles in
Your heart
It’s not secondhand
It’s the first time
Right from the start
The first time
Not a second hand try
The first time, the first time
All else is left behind
Yeah! All else is left behind
Shake my head and wonder
Where people get the notion
Love is a second hand emotion
Wonder if they know
I have my doubts
Hopefully someday they’ll know
What love is all about
All about
”A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.” – Kurt Vonnegut
Love Binds Us
Love binds us as one
Deep within our hearts
What love joins together
Can never be torn apart
Once separate
Our lives are now set
On a new course
For richer or poorer
Better or worse
Traveling together
Down the river of life
The happiest times will be
When you’re by my side
We’re 2 into 1
We’re 2 into 1
What freinship has
Bound in the heart
Can’t be undone
It is a knot tied tight
That won’t slip
Outta our sight
We’re 2 into 1
We’re 2 into 1
We’re friends forever
Even death won’t tear us apart
Cause of the love we have for god
And each other
Deep within our hearts
So until then we will cherish
Each and every day
Cause we’re friends forever
Nothing can stand in our way
We’ll always be around
To help each other out
When were feelin down
When we’re feel in doubt
We’re friends forever
Be True To Me
Be true to me
I’ll be by your side
Be true to me
My love i will not hide
Remember
If the world should catch your eye
Just look to your heart
You won’t be led wrong
I’ll be there
My love is too strong
Don’t be afraid of loving me
Just have faith you’ll see it’s true
You’ll always be wiht me
And i always will be with you
Be true to me
I’ll be by your side
Be true to me
My love i will not hide
Pastures of Love
I search, I seek
I try to find true love
Even when heartache
Is the pasture I must cross
For love, for true love
I will continue down the road
Past love after love
Because any love
No matter how brief
Might or even be
A field to wonderful to miss
I search, I seek
To try to find true love
