HoGW Valentine Special: Poems for Rebecca
🕑 Added 2017-02-15 01:19:11 +0000 UTCAuthor's Notes:
I got caught up in the holiday spirit and wrote some love poems. The first time I've done so in a long while so I thought it would nice to post them for you guys to read as well. There are three poems. The first will be posted here but the other two will be on patreon. Don't worry! They will be public and thus, free for all to access and read but only for 24 hours after which they'll become patron only.
This will be just like our Christmas special. Only, this time when you read the poems please try and like the post as well. It helps a lot in getting my profile displayed on the site. Last time, we got hundreds of views and only a single like. Show some love people, it's Val's Day!
Updates will resume on Thursday and our Schedule will be Thursdays and Saturdays from now on. Look forward to it!
Without further ado, read the first of Poems for Rebecca. The link to the others is below.
__________________________________________________________________________
When I first loved you
We lie here now clasping hands
I turn to watch you, to see
Your chest rise and fall with steady breaths
And feel my own fill with heady bursts
Bursts of an emotion so pure and uplifting
Bursts of an elixir that’s truly intoxicating
Something that makes my head spin and my breath catch
And leaves me wishing the moment would draw for an eternity
When was it that this begun?
That I found myself reacting to your presence
That I began aching for your touch
And my time away from you seem dull and lifeless
When was it that I first loved you?
When did I? How did I? What caused it?
A holy trinity of interrogatives assaults me
But I am still left unclear.
When did I first love you?
Was it when we first met?
The instant when my eyes sought yours
And found themselves looking into their hopes.
An entrancement that persists till today.
Or was it when you said your name
And my mind seized it like the gospel
Knowing it to be a life saving truth?
Perhaps it’s when we crossed that street
And our hands found each other
An embrace of fingers that seemed so right
So fitting. Like it was always meant to be.
It was definitely before you said yes
Though that was when my heart swelled and leapt,
Exulted that you loved me too.
For it made me love you more.
But even with this
I do not know when I first loved you
And I’m not sure I truly care
When it started or whence it came
All I know is that I do so now.
I love you! Dear Lord, I love you!
Irrevocably, wholly, truthfully
And I will never, ever stop.
When I first loved you (Alter)
You asked me once
When I first loved you.
That you might trace and recount
The beginning of our love story
When I couldn’t answer
You were torn and disappointed
Confused as to what that meant
And you asked again
When I first loved you.
Honestly?
I do not know.
It crept up on me.
It snuck into me.
It stuck with me.
I cannot say when it happened.
When I first loved you.
I can tell you however
When I first knew.
It was when I found
That I lived for your smile.
When I caught myself
Searching for it.
That little quirk of your lips
That made me feel accomplished
That made all my ramblings
Suddenly become worth it.
It was when you held me close,
Comforting me, soothing me,
With your words and your warmth
When I sensed
That I could come to you
And lay my burdens aside
“We do it together”, you said
And I stared in disbelief
At how right you were for me.
It was every time we fought
Over issues small and large
And I was left alone, angry and afraid
When I experienced
The cold of loneliness
And was angry with myself, afraid
That I had brought on our end
And then strove my hardest
To prevent any such fate
Each of these moments
Each of these acts
Led me to my epiphany
That indeed, I truly loved you
But above all of these
There was the day
That I realised
Just who I had beside me
And resolved to keep you.
It was that day
That I discovered
I could not have a life without you.
I had no dreams you weren’t in
That I would rather not imagine
That there was no “us”,
No “we”, no “this”, no you
For there’s nothing without you
Certainly, there’s no me without you
That was probably it.
No. It was undoubtedly then
That the heavens brightened
And I first knew
That a resolve was formed
To never let you go
To remain with you for eternity
That was the day
When I first loved you
My Heart Skips A Beat
My heart skips a beat
Every time my hands touch yours
Every time my eyes meet yours
It’s exhilarating, electrifying
This shot of pleasure
That floods my veins
And sends this dark heart leaping
Thus, my heart skips a beat
Every time I gaze upon you
And perceive your fine cut form
It’s startling, alarming
How easily you affect me
How deeply you entrance me
And make my heart forget its place
Why won’t my heart skip a beat?
When all you have to do
Is touch me and smile
Listen close and laugh
Hold this hand tight
Or even hug me and cry
Why won’t it caper to the next one?
My heart skips a beat
It doesn’t need it
You’ve supplanted it
Displaced that life sustaining throb
You’ve taken some of my burdens
And given me a place to rest
Granting this heart some needed respite
My heart skips a beat
And it’s because of you
It’s truly for you and by you
Showing our bonds, our love
Completing me, fulfilling you
For I am as much a part of you
As you are of me.
