poems on Love

A Maiden's Cry


Oceans apart, Day after Day,
I bend down my head and pray.
That you may come to see,
The pain inside of me.


I hear your voice in the night,
I reach out my hand to hold you tight.
The darkness in my room breeds fear,
How I wish you could hold me near.


Everyday from dusk to dawn,
I open my eyes and you are gone.
Tears stream down my hear,
Do you feel it when we're apart?


Can you ever stay forever?
Whenever we are together?
Words cannot express the misery i feel,
Only God knows how i feel.


~ Carol Catherine


Love is

Love is such a beautiful thing
When it is real and not a fling
Seeing his smiles and cheers
I know there is nothing to fear

Love is as blind as a bat
We head in unprepared
Only to find out the hurt
When we are out of touch

Love is all about sharing
And I can't help thinking
All the good and bad times
Does it all end in goodbyes

Love is kind and patient
One filled with communication
Like a mermaid seeking to walk
To meet her prince for a talk

Seek and you shall find
Ask and you shall receive
I say a prayer each night for you
Love is everything about me and you


~ Carol Catherine


WHERE IS THE LOVE

Where is the love I yearn for
Not a single kiss or a caring call
He came to me in an unexpected way
Now he's gone with nothing to say

Where does all the game playing lead
Isn't there a true love that doesn't bleed
Whom do I look for in times like these
I need a man who satisfies my needs

There he was, now he is gone
Like the phantom Christine longs
That is why I wish to dream
Alas he is there and so it seems

Is this the love we talk about
The love few people know about
Bringing hurt to innocent souls
We try to escape from these blows

My thoughts hover around you
And I hope you feel it too
I hope to see you again
If only you could understand

Love can be sweet and it can hurt
This is the man I still love
Didn't you tell me this is love
Now you leave without a word

Real soul mates are hard to find
They recognize each other in time
I know this can't be wrong
I think his name is Jean


~ Carol Catherine


Tell Me

Love is a difficult path
Making my search so tough
The need for your everyday presence
Is making me cry in your absence

Time passed and you're still miles away
Making it unbearable everyday
Not a single day passes me by
Without me letting out a sigh

Tell me where do you see us heading
Do you see us marrying or become nothing
This is something I need to know
But when will you ever tell me so

I know ending a love is a waste
But I can't take one bitter to taste
Fear of breaking my heart again
It is better not to hope in vain

If the future ahead is clear
Then I would like to see you dear
Unlike a ship sailing aimlessly
I can love you endlessly

~ Carol Catherine


 Life and Love

  Love can be filled with tranquility
  But Life is a harsh reality
  Finding that true love is not easy
  When all life does is keep us busy

  Will we find happiness in our work
  Or will we realize we are jerks
  Can we never have the best of both worlds
  Or can it exist in a single twirl

  Buried in our job every single day
  Up the corporate ladder is our way
  On our last day, we have nothing to say
  Cause we let that true love slip away


 ~ Carol Catherine

 


A lover's doubt

Why does it have to be so hard
When all I want is a fulfilling heart.
One filled with endless love
All with the man i hope to serve

So many years of my youth is gone
Yet not a single love is won
Does it always have to be a game
Can't we just love each other the same

Now I haven't got a single clue
What's the point of hiding the truth
Why can't we just say it all
From the point we meet and talk

Maybe the right man is out there
Not of perfection but one who shares
I call the man, but does he not exist
Please let this wait be a marital bliss

~ Carol Catherine

 




Letter to Jean

The flowers in the garden grow

They show me what I need to know

Love blooms in the hearts of everyone

Especially in the heart of that special one

 

The petals show what I need to say

The joy I experience every single day

He loves me or he loves me not

This is the love my heart sought

 

When ever you are with me

Nothing is too bleak to see

The smile of yours radiates

Your presence I appreciate

 

Dear Jean what is in your mind

Cast your fears all behind

I’ll be the angel by your side

Hovering above you from the sky

 

No treasure in this world compares

The love we found is so scarce

Remember the times we spent

My devoted love will never end

 

~ Carol Catherine






A prayer for Jean

Every night as I lay to sleep

I pray each night your soul to keep

Every night as I cry for you

Do you, my love, hear me too

 

I pray for your love and return

To this heart of mine where it burns

I draw your arms around my waist

I draw your lips that are sweet to taste

 

Your glittering eyes shine so bright

Your golden smile kisses me goodnight

The flowers bloom in this fertile soil

I thank the lord for this loving joy

 

In God, my love, I believe and seek

This endless love is just too deep

I’ll never fight this feeling

I’ll never stop believing

 

 

Life is a journey. We stumble and fall

The lord, our God, answers our call

Perseverance is what it takes

To prove this love is not a fake

 

This love has its timeless truth

Ignoring it is so uncouth

Let this love bring eternal joy

Into our hearts we’ll both enjoy

 ~ Carol Catherine






Portrait of Jean

His eyes glitter in the moonlight

His smile radiates with sunlight

His hair is like a bird's nest

On it my chin  I lay to rest

 

His arms shelter me from harm

He keeps me safe and calm

His humor brings meaning to life

I wish it continues till the day I die

 

I am the princess in the tower

He is my knight in shining armor.

He gives me strength and power

I won't fret for another hour

 

His touch is ever so sensitive

His spirit is always so positive

His mind is ever so inspiring

For him I'll keep refining

 

Love for Jean lingers in my heart

I wish seeing him isn't that hard

Every time he goes away

I pray his heart won't go astray

 

I wish to share your burden, Jean

Please confide in me what is wrong

I pray to the Lord my God each night

That he will come again to hold me tight

~ Carol Catherine

 

 

 




Regrets is not forever

I spent some quiet time last night

Imagining your body next to mine

I won’t open my eyes for fear

That you will no longer be here

 

I lie awake and pray

That you will look my way

I have had others in my life

But I want you to be mine

 

I love you and I pray you’ll love me too

There’s nothing that makes me feel so good

When we’re together during communion

Heaven and earth rejoices about our union

 

Chorus

Regrets is not forever

If we treat each other better

Please make up your mind

True love is so hard to find

 

 

Hold me tight my dear valentine

I hope you’ll tell me in time

Can you find a place in your heart

To tell me we’ll never be apart

 

Show me that you’re serious

Let’s stop being so mysterious

It is all getting too dangerous

Be frank and make it wondrous

 By Carol Catherine

 

 




that's where I belong

 

Went to Brix as I was bored

Then I found one I adore

We smiled and broke the ice

God, he makes me feel nice

 

He asked me for a dance

I was hoping for that chance

His moves were so fine

I miss those wonderful times

 

Baby can't you see

Everything that you say

Makes me want to be

Best person for the day

I'm a woman of charm

I yearn for those arms

I hope it won't be long

That's where I belong

 

I asked if he's fantastic

He asked if the pope's catholic

I smiled at the brilliant question

An answer with an impression

 

The bond between us is strong

Never have I found a couple so fond

It seemed so inconceivable

You are so unbelievable

 

Baby can't you see

Everything that you say

Makes me want to be

Best person for the day

I'm a woman of charm

I yearn for those arms

I hope it won't be long

That's where I belong

~ Carol Catherine
