Post them here, please. 
my heart beats upon my ribcage
trying to come out to see you
palms sweat breathing stops
my eyes drink of you
we fly into nowhere
our arms tangle
dancing in the starscape
a billion times
i could look at you anew with love
no time
could i become tired of your embrace
no water could put out my fire
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I bought these red panties
just for you.
Geez, Iâm so smoothâŠ
Yeah, happy single-people-get-excluded day, ânâ stuff.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I like this smilie :moogle:
Because itâs cool.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
All of my base
Are belong to you
:kissy:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet,
and so are you.
ButâŠ
The roses are wilted,
the violets are dead.
The sugar bowlâs empty,
and so is your head!
Valentineâs Day has come at last
Valentineâs Day can kiss my ass 
Oh baby
Why wonât you let
me put
my
evil
INSIDE
you?
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Which make no sense
Youâd think violetâd be its hue
Here is a real love poem, a simple ballad upon which I began working quite some time ago, but finished today:
Ballad: Abide, my Fair Mermaid
Abide, my fair mermaid, if so thee list,
That fain my tongue may play a blissful rhyme,
Those these my hands uncouth the harp have missed,
To know in cunning youthâs unstinting time.
What loom hath woven so thy mickle strands,
That as a waterfall oâer shoulder frame,
Each spun of fairy sleight in golden bands,
Thâ unsmoothĂšd edge or point its sting shall tame?
Or wit, what sheenâs rose purfleth hende thy cheek:
What privy beauteous craft thâ ilk stuff drew
That thou shouldst match that bloomâs enchantment meek,
Anointâd oâ the morrowâs tears of clearest hue?
Was chisel there that round thine eyen shope true,
To hew of earthen fathoms thâ azure loft,
To fill those balls of heavenâs cleanest blue,
That winged estate thy soul bewray might oft?
And when I came thee nigh, what winsome air!
ArĂĄbyâs flowâry breaths about thee keep,
Each drawn of draughts of meteless gardens fair,
Of rainbow hues, for royal grace to reap.
What, stint? If aught Iâve sung may naught thee list,
That should thy fairness bright and high bewray,
Then hark on this new worship done: I wist
Thy goddess soul my humble quill tâ assay.
Yea, man hath wrought of glass and wood and stone,
And set his hues and points in eyensâ windĂłw.
Yet so is craft and skill, and framed alone
In ghostly wit, and lacketh earthly stow.
Eke thou art craft, yet framed of ânother wright,
Yea wrought, and born, of twofold majesty,
For Hap hath quickened skill in thine own wight,
Like as that grace of royal dignity.
And soothly thou shalt live on henceforth sweet,
To earthly breathe, and live by beautyâs gift,
Yet though one day our flesh mote Hap escheat,
Thy song, like deathless seasâ flow, naught may shift.
Now spent and done is all my worshipâs verse,
Yet fain thine housâling lips I would have kissed.
My dear complaint I will eftsoons rehearse:
Abide, my fair mermaid, if so thee list.

-Archaic Word Explanations-
abide = stay, wait
thee list = it pleases thee
fain = gladly
know = It has more of a sense of âbe acquainted withâ than âunderstandâ. It can also mean âto have sex withâ.
mickle = abundant, many
sleight = dexterity
point = detail, part
purfleth (to purfle) = decorates
hende = courteous, gracious
privy = secret
beauteous = beautiful; Pronounce as two syllables: âbiu-tâyusâ.
ilk = same
shope = shaped; The verb âto shapeâ was once a strong verb like speak/spoke/spoken. Its original part participle, shapen, survives in our adjective âmisshapenâ.
azure = In addition to being the colour of the blue sky, azure is also the heraldic term for the colour blue, and is a symbol of constancy and loyalty.
cleanest = purest
estate = condition, social rank
bewray = reveal
Araby = Arabia, traditionally known for exotic perfumes.
meteless = immeasurable
stint = cease
aught = anything
naught = nothing
worship = honour, praise (the word literally means âworth-shipâ)
wist = understood
assay = try
wrought = created, worked
eyen = eyes; I have used the old -n plural, reflecting the wordâs origin in Old English eagan.
ghostly = This word has a sense of âspiritualâ and âimmortalâ, as it did in Old English (as gastlic).
eke = also
wright = craftsman
twofold = double
Hap = Fortune, but it might also mean âNatureâ.
quickened = inspired, made living
wight = being, creature
royal dignity = âDignityâ has a complex meaning, and basically corresponds to âhigh office/positionâ. It is most commonly used archaically in legal terminology and jurisprudence when referring to the âcorporationâ of kingship in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance.
soothly = truly
mote = must; the original present tense of this verb (Old English motan), was âmoteâ. âMustâ was originally the past tense of this verb.
escheat = In feudal terminology, an escheat is a reversion of land to the owner from someone who was leasing it, usually after the person dies.
shift = change
housâling (houselling) = being given communion and/or extreme unction. This image fits with the image of the mouth, which in some art (stretching back to the Middle Ages) is a symbol of the entrance to Heaven.
complaint = Somewhere between a complaint and a request; this word is common in Middle and Early Modern English and French in the language of a lover asking the beloved for something.
eftsoons = once again
rehearse = repeat
Roses are Red
Violets are Purple
Sugar is Sweet
And soâs Maple Surple
Roger Miller rocks.
Roses are red
Violets are fine
Iâll be the six
If you be the nine
Semi-Related Haiku:
Nineteen years ago
I was born with a penis
And I am sorry.
Okay, so it wasnât related at all. I wanted to say it anyway.
Iâll post my writing exorcise from a class today to write the âworst sappy love poem everâ later, although it isnât half as funny when Iâm not reading it.
Roses are red,
Violets are purple,
I know you love me,
So can I give you a nurple?
>.>
But a real poem.
A nervous glance, the flicker of eyes.
An unsure smile, a quick grin.
Grabbing hands, wringing sweat.
Thoughts racing, running in the head.
A misplaced foot, the short stumble.
A reassuring hand, thankful eyes.
Words rushing, tumbling out.
Eyes rising, meeting the othersâ.
A second to breathe, to think.
Steady the mind, the body.
Clear words, muddled meaning.
Delicate hands meeting, faint touches.
An electric surge, bright power rushing.
Hands grip, the world is sure.
Words strong, full of purpose.
For all time, they are with each other.
Roses are red
Violets are voilet
Youâd better get ready
'cause tonight Iâm the Pilot
I suck at poetry, but I rule at translations, so:
This isnât a poem, itâs a song, one of my all-time favorites. I was translating it for Val (we often trade music) so I thought, why not post it here?
Itâs about a man saying goodbye to his lover, as he goes overseas to make a life for the two of them. Hope you enjoy it. (Too bad I donât have the actual music⊠it makes it sounds even BETTER!)
UN BESO Y UNA FLOR / A KISS AND A FLOWER
DejarĂ© mi tierra por ti, / Iâll leave my land for you,
DejarĂ© mis campos y me irĂ©, lejos de aquĂ. / Iâll leave my fields and Iâll go, far from here.
CruzarĂ© llorando el jardĂn, / Iâll cry as I cross the garden,
Y con tus recuerdos partirĂ©, lejos de aquĂ. / And with your memories Iâll go, far from here
De dĂa vivirĂ© pensando en tu sonrisa / By day Iâll live thinking of your smile
De noche las estrellas me acompañarån. / By night the stars will keep me company
SerĂĄs como una luz que alumbre mi camino. / Youâll be like a light that illuminates my path

Al partir, un beso y una flor / At take-off, a kiss and a flower
Un âte quieroâ, una caricia y un adiĂłs. / An âI love youâ, a caress and a goodbye.
Es ligero equipaje para tan largo viaje / Itâs light luggage for such a long trip
Las penas pesan en el corazĂłn / The pains weight in the heart.
MĂĄs allĂĄ del mar habrĂĄ un lugar / Beyond the sea there will be a place
Donde el sol cada mañana brille mås / Where the sun will shine more each morning.
ForjarĂĄn mi destino las piedras del camino / My destiny will be forged by the stones of the road
Lo que nos es querido siempre queda atrĂĄs./ That which is dear to us is always left behind
BuscarĂ© un lugar para ti / Iâll look for a place for you
Donde el cielo se une con el mar, lejos de aquĂ / where the sky joins with the sea- far from here
Con mis manos y con tu amor / with my hands and with your love
LograrĂ© encontrar otra ilusiĂłn, lejos de aquĂ. / Iâll succeed in finding another dream, far from
here.
De dĂa vivirĂ© pensando en tu sonrisa / By day Iâll live thinking of your smile
De noche las estrellas me acompañarån. / By night the stars will keep me company
SerĂĄs como una luz que alumbre mi camino. / Youâll be like a light that illuminates my path

Mine was a real love poem, too. sniff
But seriously, that was awesome, man. I have trouble with the more structured types of poetry, but I think Iâm going to try them out when I take Creative Writing: Poetry (which I will sometime in my life).
i dig my knife into my chest
in order to do what i think is best
my beating heart, tender with emotion
i take it out, blood spills by the gallon
this pulsing organ i give to you
its kind of gross, please donât spew
i really mean it, these shoes are new
if you accept my undying love with open arms
iâll know its true that i really do possess charm
if you reject it with a repugnant frown
iâll indefinately suffer from a nervous breakdown
but in the end it doesnât matter
for in any case youâll be flattered
or at the worst become awkward
and we will laugh and jump off a cliff
the end
\m/
I even wrote music for it!
LOL :hahaha;
