Romance Poems
The Onion, Memory
by Craig Raine
Divorced, but friends again at last,
we walk old ground together
in bright blue uncomplicated weather.
We laugh and pause
to hack to bits these tiny dinosaurs,
prehistoric, crenelated, cast
between the tractor ruts in mud.
On the green, a junior Douglas Fairbanks,
swinging on the chestnut's unlit chandelier,

THE LOST LOVE PART I
by Sabyasachi Sahoo
He approached near with bunch of rose,
With fear in eyes, embarrassed, sweat on nose.
Shied by his call, eyes his bunch of roses,
But in silence she reposes.
He holds her hand, softly with care,
Expecting a tight slap for his dare.
In flickering tongue he said,

Flame
by Sharon Morgan
In the distance, a small flame,
which warms my heart with a radiant glance through eyes that allow me to look into a soul,
A secret room that only I have been given
the only key to one lock of its kind.
Deep inside is where two hearts caress and passionately kiss
And recite a loves ballad.
A poem with no end but constant new beginnings
as our hearts find new ways of discovering each other
Like the frontiers of a universe with no end, like infinity itself.

CafÉ Comedy
by Robert William Service
She
I'm waiting for the man I hope to wed.
I've never seen him - that's the funny part.
I promised I would wear a rose of red,
Pinned on my coat above my fluttered heart,
So that he'd know me - a precaution wise,
Because I wrote him I was twenty-three,
And Oh such heaps and heaps of silly lies. . .
So when we meet what will he think of me?

To His Beautiful Mistress
by Graham Ereks
My love,
You are the silky gazelle
Of the esteemed paradise
That blazes radiance on me
In a blissful beam.
Your exquisiteness is
So magnetising,
The thought of you
Alone can make me chirpy—

Purple Rhythms
by Lia P
Every key your soft gentle finger tips touch
every note, filled with so much of your passion, angst, weep,
your guffaw,
and your giggles
they taste sweet of yellow daffodils
and treacly like the honey from the summer bees
they empty my soul leaving me keen on you
their smell introduces me to a world I want to know
a world of you
and watching you sitting there play

Snowflakes
by Sharon Morgan
Can you hear the symphony of the snowflake?
As its principal dancers weave their way
Across a milky sky
With diamond costumes, they emerge,
To perform their free-fall ballet, a solo performance
The meaning of their lives is in a spiral of destiny.
I saw you come through the clouds as I did
In your beauty, you were growing, spinning, racing, gliding,
I reached out; I grabbed your hand

The Proposal
by Sharon Morgan
It was twilight, picture-perfect dusk
The lake reflected the remnants of the sun
Which gently waved goodbye to late afternoon
My heart danced to the sound of crickets
As it thumped nervously in perfect time.
The setting, as picturesque
as the framed mural of well-oiled paint
An ambiance proceeded to engulf my soul
Locked within waves of uncertainty

An Arranged Marriage
by Sharon Morgan
I know it isn’t easy
As I was not your choice
Romance wrenched away from you
A mouth without a voice
I know you view me with contempt
But you, I do appease
I promise I can make you happy
Can you love me, please?
