I dedicate this poem to the one that has captured my heart. Although you have always had a role in my life, I have recently grown to appreciate your presence even more. So I dedicate these words to you, my friend, as you deserve nothing but the highest of praise. I hope they reach you, land in your heart, elicit a smile. You deserve the recognition.<\/p>\n
The sun rises,<\/p>\n
And I abandon the thought of you<\/p>\n
With melted bean soup.<\/p>\n
But you continue to linger,<\/p>\n
A reminder of a respite in my mind,<\/p>\n
And I carry the sun on my shoulders<\/p>\n
With arms laden with books.<\/p>\n
I hold the thought of you<\/p>\n
In my palm throughout the day,<\/p>\n
And I smile at it periodically<\/p>\n
With it smiling back at me.<\/p>\n
The hours we are separated,<\/p>\n
The heap of minutes we are apart,<\/p>\n
Stack up into nothingness<\/p>\n
With no hint of vivid color.<\/p>\n
And as I travel through time,<\/p>\n
Through morning, afternoon, etc.,<\/p>\n
I only fight my way back to you<\/p>\n
With my shoulders heavy, slumped.<\/p>\n
You never fail to be there,<\/p>\n
When the day has saturated me,<\/p>\n
And I fall into your arms<\/p>\n
With strained and weary eyes.<\/p>\n
Dear sleep,<\/p>\n
I love you.<\/p>\n
Sincerely, me<\/p>\n
Sometimes a certain emotion can well up inside of your chest, and you have to empty it before it overflows. For instance, I had to write this poem so that I could ponder something other than its subject. Who knew love could be so distracting? Anyway, I hope that this tugs at your heart strings in some way. I am relatively a stranger to sharing my personal emotions through writing, but I know that, whenever you feel deeply about something or someone, the poem practically writes itself (for more wisdom, please subscribe to receive regular, weekly updates). Anyway, I encourage you to try your hand at writing love poems. The literary world deserves your thoughts, after all. Personally, I would love to read a poem dedicated to a favorite food or a beloved pet cat. So please write about how lasagna has stolen your heart. And if you do not consider yourself a writer, why not give it a try? You do not have to be the Van Gogh of writing, only yourself writing about what you adore.<\/p>\n
