Hi everyone!

I know that some of you have seen my military/war poems. So, I thought I'd share some of my romantic poetry that I've written.

If only I could be, where you are tonight,
If only I could hold you, close and tight.
Stroke back your hair and kiss your cheek,
Though of our love, we dare not speak.

You see, ours, it's a secret kind of love,
One, seemingly, that only I know of.
I cannot help but think of you, as I lie here alone,
In this cold and empty bed, you're unreachable by phone.

What to do? But sit and write you a letter,
Hoping that you'll understand, there's nothing better.
Nobody better in this world, than you for me,
You're the sugar and the milk, in my perfect cup of tea.

So as I fall asleep, my thoughts turn to you,
Wishing that I were there, clung to you like glue.
I'm chasing shadows, running through your maze,
When I finally reach the end, and you, I'm trapped in your gaze.

Kiss me, hold me, freeze time, so long as I'm with you,
Lips to lips, heart to heart, eyes like glass, I can see straight through.
And what I see, I love, your very heart and soul.
It's passion-filled love, it's complete and whole.

And now you too know, the secret of which I speak,
Run your hands through my hair, kiss my cheek.
And now it's your turn to hold me, close and tight,
Finally now, you are, where I am tonight.

Enjoy!

You are really good. I see something, you are so young and you are doing this. Perhaps you will be in Stockholm at the December 10th in the future.

Winning a Nobel Laureate for Literature? Perhaps... that's a huge dream... I hadn't even considered getting any of my poems published really, seen as the market, and the publishing companies are rather up-tight about what they will publish in print. Apparently, according to a writing forum I belong to, publishing poetry is nigh-on impossible. But, we'll see what happens!

Thanks for the read and words of encouragement

Have you consider writing a novel?

Dude...that just hit me...I am instantly reminded of my significant other who is all the way in texas right now...nice man....

Mine's in Comox, BC. At Cadet Camp, I miss her. I love her, she just doesn't know it yet.

Glad I was able to connect you with that significant other mate. She'll be back soon enough.

Hawky you really have a brilliant talent, don't keep your work from the world publish and let the world share your stunning work.

Thanks Brit! I've contacted Legion's in both Canada and the UK, as well as a poetry magazine in BC. As of yet I've had no reply.

I could always self-publish, my father has self-published his own anthology with little success. So, I'm unsure as to whether that is the route to take. Nonetheless, I'll await responses from the Legion's and the Editor of the poetry magazine with baited breath.

Thanks for the read mate.

Make a collection of poetry and turn it into a book?
