A Special World A special world for you and me A special bond one cannot see It wraps us up in its cocoon

And holds us fiercely in its womb. Its fingers spread like fine spun gold Gently nestling us to the fold Like silken thread it holds us fast Bonds like this are meant to last. And though at times a thread may break A new one forms in its wake To bind us closer and keep us strong In a special world, where we belong. - Sheelagh Lennon

2 An Entrapment My love, I have tried with all my being to grasp a form comparable to thine own, but nothing seems worthy; I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summers day. It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee, to simply cast away the precision God had placed in forging you. Each facet of your being whether it physical or spiritual is an ensnarement from which there is no release. But I do not wish release. I wish to stay entrapped forever. With you for all eternity.

Our hearts, always as one. - Anthony Kolos 3 If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine... Knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you. - Courtney Kuchta 4 What I Love About You I love the way you look at me, Your eyes so bright and blue. I love the way you kiss me, Your lips so soft and smooth. I love the way you make me so happy, And the ways you show you care. I love the way you say, "I Love You," And the way you're always there. I love the way you touch me, Always sending chills down my spine. I love that you are with me, And glad that you are mine. - Crystal Jansen 5 A gentle word like a spark of light, Illuminates my soul And as each sound goes deeper, It's YOU that makes me whole

There is no corner, no dark place, YOUR LOVE cannot fill And if the world starts causing waves, It's your devotion that makes them still And yes you always speak to me, In sweet honesty and truth Your caring heart keeps out the rain, YOUR LOVE, the ultimate roof So thank you my Love for being there, For supporting me, my life I'll do the same for you, you know, My Beautiful, Darling Wife. 6 A stranger you were once. Then, with a gentle look you took my hand. As our lives engaged, you lit my life and I held both your hands. Now that decades have passed, ours souls have indeed become one. How fortunate we are that we have found the love so true that everyone dreams about. - Laura Veronica Merodio 7 You're my man, my mighty king, And I'm the jewel in your crown, You're the sun so hot and bright, I'm your light-rays shining down, You're the sky so vast and blue, And I'm the white clouds in your chest, I'm a river clean and pure, Who in your ocean finds her rest, You're the mountain huge and high,

I'm the valley green and wide, You're the body firm and strong, And I'm a rib bone on your side, You're an eagle flying high, I'm your feathers light and brown, You're my man, my king of kings, And I'm the jewel in your crown. - Nima Akbari 8 Never Have I Fallen Your lips speak soft sweetness Your touch a cool caress I am lost in your magic My heart beats within your chest I think of you each morning And dream of you each night I think of your arms being around me And cannot express my delight Never have I fallen But I am quickly on my way You hold a heart in your hands That has never before been given away - Rex A. Williams 9 Your Name I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away. I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay.

- Jessica Blade 10 Love Is ... Love is the greatest feeling, Love is like a play, Love is what I feel for you, Each and every day, Love is like a smile, Love is like a song, Love is a great emotion, That keeps us going strong, I love you with my heart, My body and my soul, I love the way I keep loving, Like a love I can't control, So remember when your eyes meet mine, I love you with all my heart, And I have poured my entire soul into you, Right from the very start. - Meghan 11 I Will Love You Forever I love you so deeply, I love you so much, I love the sound of your voice And the way that we touch. I love your warm smile And your kind, thoughtful way, The joy that you bring To my life every day. I love you today As I have from the start, And I'll love you forever With all of my heart.

- Amanda Nicole Martinez 12 When I'm with you, eternity is a step away, my love continues to grow, with each passing day. This treasure of love, I cherish within my soul, how much I love you... you'll never really know. You bring a joy to my heart, I've never felt before, with each touch of your hand, I love you more and more. Whenever we say goodbye, whenever we part, know I hold you dearly, deep inside my heart. So these seven words, I pray you hold true, "Forever And Always, I Will Love You." - Chris Engle 13 All the love that history knows, is said to be in every rose. Yet all that could be found in two, is less than what I feel for you. - Author Unknown 14

A White Rose The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove. But I send you a cream-white rosebud With a flush on its petal tips; For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desire on the lips. - J B O'Reilly (1844-1890) 15 My Love My love is like an ocean It goes down so deep My love is like a rose Whose beauty you want to keep. My love is like a river That will never end My love is like a dove With a beautiful message to send. My love is like a song That goes on and on forever My love is like a prisoner It's to you that I surrender. - Tasha Shores 16 Love Love is like a lump of gold, Hard to get, and hard to hold. Of all the girls I've ever met, You're the one I can't forget. I do believe that God above,

Created you for me to love. He chose you from all the rest, Because he knew I would love you best. - Loy Bowman 17 Love Me Love me in the Springtime, when all is green and new, Love me in the Summer, when the sky is oh so blue, Love me in the Autumn, when the leaves are turning brown, Love me in the Winter, when the snow is falling down. Love me when I'm happy, and even when I'm sad, Love me when I'm good, or when I'm oh so bad, Love me when I'm pretty, or if my face is plain, Love me when I'm feeling good, or when I'm feeling pain. Love me always darlin', in the rain or shining sun, Love me always darlin', after all is said and done, Love me always darlin', until all our life is through, Love me always darlin', for I'll be lovin' you! - Amanda Nicole Martinez 18 Love Defined What is love, but an emotion, So strong and so pure, That nurtured and shared with another All tests it will endure? What is love, but a force To bring the mighty low, With the strength to shame the mountains And halt times ceaseless flow? What is love, but a triumph, A glorious goal attained,

The union of two souls, two hearts A bond the angels have ordained? What is love, but a champion, To cast the tyrant from his throne, And raise the flag of truth and peace, And fear of death oerthrow? What is love, but a beacon, To guide the wayward heart, A blazing light upon the shoals That dash cherished dreams apart? And what is love, but forever, Eternal and sincere, A flame that through wax and wane Will outlive lifes brief years? So Ill tell it on the mountaintops, In all places high and low, That love for you is my reason to be, And will never break or bow. - Matt Dubois 19 I thought love was just a mirage of the mind, it's an illusion, it's fake, impossible to find. But the day I met you, I began to see, that love is real, and exists in me. - Chris Farmer 20 The Meaning To love is to share life together to build special plans just for two to work side by side and then smile with pride as one by one, dreams all come true.

To love is to help and encourage with smiles and sincere words of praise to take time to share to listen and care in tender, affectionate ways. To love is to have someone special one who you can always depend to be there through the years sharing laughter and tears as a partner, a lover, a friend. To love is to make special memories of moments you love to recall of all the good things that sharing life brings love is the greatest of all. I've learned the full meaning of sharing and caring and having my dreams all come true; I've learned the full meaning of being in love by being and loving with you. - Kellie Spehn 21 For You Are The One For you I would climb The highest mountain peak Swim the deepest ocean Your love I do seek. For you I would cross The rivers most wide Walk the hottest desert sand To have you by my side.

For you are the one Who makes me whole You've captured my heart And touched my soul. For you are the one That stepped out of my dreams Gave me new hope Showed me what love means. For you alone Are my reason to live For the compassion you show And the care that you give. You came into my life And made me complete Each time I see you My heart skips a beat. For you define beauty In both body and mind Your soft, gentle face More beauty I'll ne'er find. For you are the one God sent from above The angel I needed For whom I do love. - Chris Messick 22 Pledge of Love I've made a vow, to no one but you I pledge my love to forever be true I'll take care of you and treat you right I'll lay beside you all through the night I'll feed you and clothe you and keep you warm I'll hug you and kiss you and give shelter in the storm

I'll help you and guide you and clear a path I'll protect you and shield you from an angry man's wrath I'll listen to your problems help you solve them too I'll make you a rainbow and let the sun shine through I'll take your side even if you're wrong Just to prove our love is strong I'll plant you flowers and make them grow They'll be a symbol of love that only we'll know I'll whisper your name when no one is near So low that only you can hear You'll feel my love even if we're apart You'll know that we are one in heart 23 Unlicensed Love On a summer's day long, long ago I fell in love and I'll never know Just what it was that made me feel So drawn to her, what the appeal That set my pulses so to race When e'er I gazed upon that face Of one who was scarce but a child Yet even then could drive me wild I'll never know the how's and why's I lost my heart to Hazel Eyes But when I got that long sought kiss I knew I'd found my Perfect Miss My elfin girl from down the lane And I'll never let her go again For how could I describe our love? Romantic love, all hearts and flowers No way to count the days and hours Spent in self-indulgent wishes And thoughts of long awaited kisses Of sweet embraces, tender sighs And gazing into love filled eyes Oh yes, it is that kind of love Or, is it yet the love of passion

The ecstasy that knows no ration That shuddering nerve-tingling feeling The climax with your senses reeling The wondrous joy when you discover That sweet surrender to your lover Oh yes, it's that kind of love too. Or even yet a love that grows One that cares and one that knows That sees beyond the outer skin Into the person deep within That loves the spirit and the soul The inner self that makes the whole Built on trust and empathy A love you know was meant to be The love we share is all these things A love that has no need of rings A love you never need to doubt A love I cannot live without A love to last us all our days A love I'll share with you always - Jim Sharman 24 Perfection in my Eyes All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart, And for us to be together, to never be apart. No one else in the world can even compare, You're perfect and so is this love that we share. We have so much more than I ever thought we would, I love you more than I ever thought I could. I promise to give you all I have to give, I'll do anything for you as long as I live. In your eyes I see our present, our future and past,

By the way you look at me I know we will last. I hope that one day you'll come to realize, How perfect you are when seen through my eyes. - Ashley Borden 25 Because Of You Because of you my world is now whole, Because of you love lives in my soul. Because of you I have laughter in my eyes, Because of you I am no longer afraid of good-byes. You are my pillar my stone of strength, With me through all seasons and great times of length. My love for you is pure boundless through space and time, it grows stronger everyday with the knowledge that you'll always be mine. At the altar I will joyously say 'I do', for I have it all now and it's all because of you. - Written and owned by Amy S. Bedford 26 There is a dime a dozen... Then there is one in a million... But baby, you are once in a lifetime. - Victor Rodriguez

27 A path winding across the horizon over mountains, across seas through blue skies and gray never ceasing, continuous. My love for you. - A.J. Miller 28 Will you ever? I don't think you will ever fully understand how you've touched my life and made me who I am. I don't think you could ever know just how truly special you are that even on the darkest nights you are my brightest star. I don't think you will ever fully comprehend how you've made my dreams come true or how you've opened my heart to love and the wonders it can do. You've allowed me to experience something very hard to find unconditional love that exists in my body, soul, and mind. I don't think you could ever feel all the love I have to give and I'm sure you'll never realize you've been my will to live. You are an amazing person and without you I don't know where I'd be. Having you in my life completes and fulfills every part of me.

- Erica 29 Day by day Night by night Kiss by kiss Touch by touch Step by step I fall in love A love so incomprehensible So vivid So unique So wild, that not even the reign of God could control A passion so deep A need so necessary A want so strong The universe would not handle I love you today Ill love you tomorrow Ill love you forever - Julio Patino 30 For The First Time Into my world of darkness and silence, you brought light and music. When you lit my candle, I began to see and understand the taste and texture of love. For the first time. - John Irvine 31

I Asked God I asked God for a flower, he gave me a bouquet I asked God for a minute, he gave me a day I asked God for true love, he gave me that too I asked for an angel and he gave me you. - John Raine 32 Dreams I dream of your touch while you are away, I dream of your smile all through the day, I remember the day, You came into my life, I dream of the day I will be your wife. I dream of the day I can fall asleep next to you, I dream of the day I can say I do. To be your wife, To be together for life, Is a dream I have, Every night. - Jessica Ann Trimble 33 A Wish I lie on the ground, and stare into space, the stars start to move, into the shape of your face. I see you there now, looking down at me, with that cute little smile, that I like to see. You say "close your eyes",

"tell me what you see", I see only two people, just you and me. We're walking the shoreline, with our feet getting wet, the horizon turns pink, as the sun starts to set. We make love through the night, on that white sandy shore, then I hold you while thinking, I could want nothing more. Oh I wish I could be, in that one special place, as I lie on the ground, and I stare into space... - Randy Schutte 34 A Love For All Time Breathless kisses Burning touches Soft-spoken words of love Urgently spoken words of passion. A man and a woman One complete love Since time began Predestined to be as one. We've been together before In other lifetimes We've fought dragons And have been torn from each others arms Yet our love prevailed. We've walked on this earth many times together Perhaps for a moment Perhaps for years But our heart is one heart

And we were meant to be. So when our time on earth Once again comes to a close Have no worries my dear For we will find each other again And again And again. For our love is ageless Eternal A love for all time. - Dawn Choike 35 You are my air The sun in my day The moon in my night The spring in my step You are my everything. You are the stars in the sky The birds in the trees The shimmer, the sparkle, the shine. Without the light you put into my life I would be nothing A single leaf on the ground in autumn, Lost, forgotten, alone. Before i knew you, I was nothing. Now I am everything, With you at my side, I am invincible! Feel the same my baby, You are loved so much, I love you now and forever You are my darling, my baby, my love You are my everything I love you so much.

- Kirsty 36 My Sweetheart So often when I am embracing you, It seems that you exist in this world only because of me and I exist because of you. It's not easy to wander in this world and not lose one's way, but the greatest happiness of all is in giving joy to one's beloved. And if the king can have his throne, and if the bird can have his Spring nest, and God can have his heaven, then I, my sweetheart, I can have you! - Jonathan Townsend 37 Sometimes at night, when I look to the sky, I start thinking of you and then ask myself, why? Why do I love you? I think and smile, because I know the list could run on for miles. The whisper of your voice, the warmth of your touch, so many little things that make me love you so much. The way you support me, and help with my emotions, the way that you care and show such devotion. The way that your kiss, fills me with desire, and how you hold me with the warmth of a blazing fire. The way your eyes shine when you look at me, lost with you forever is where I want to be. The way that I feel when you're by my side, a sense of completion and overflowing pride. The dreams that I dream, that all involve you, the possibilities I see and the things we can do. How you finish the puzzle that lies inside my heart, how that deep in my soul, you are the most important part.

I could go on for days, telling of what I feel, but all you really must know is my love for you is real. - Scotty Wright 38 My Princess, My Wife For My Dear Wife, On This Usual Day; I Write You This Poem, In My Own Special Way. I Wanted To Tell You, In Words Of My Own; You're The Most Precious Person, That I've Ever Known. You're The Prettiest Girl, Than Any I've Seen; Your Body Is Flawless, So Slender And Lean. Your Eyes Have That Sparkle, That I Can't Live Without; One Day Without Them, And I'd Die There's No Doubt. And I Just Lose Control, When I Glance At Your Hair; Those Curls Are Just Stunning, So Perfect And Rare. You're The Most Caring Person, That I've Ever Met; There's No One Like You, And That I Can Bet. What Attracts Me The Most, Is Your Sweet And Kind Touch; You're A Gift Sent From Heaven,

And I Love You So Much. So Hold Me As Close, As You Possibly Can; 'Cause Now And Forever, I Am Your Man. - Jason D. Megary 39 A Table Set For Two Candles flicker softly on a table set for two, There's no one on the earth tonight except for me and you. A nice romantic dinner and a bottle of chilled wine, And we are here together in a moment stopped in time. A love so few have ever known and this is its birth night, Alone within our little world, you and I and candlelight. So soon we will set free the feelings that we want to share. And I am held here spellbound by your laughter in the air. Thoughts of love like falling leaves, Swirling in the autumn breeze, Flow in our minds and in our eyes, A tender look and longing sighs, We touch and as the fire starts, That we have kindled in our hearts, We kiss and hear the angels sing, As heavens gift to me you bring, No more to live my life alone, And in your soul I found my home, At peace within your loving arms, Captivated by your charms,

And happily I'd die for you, Here at this table set for two. - Written and owned by L. Carling 40 What I Love About You... The sparkle in your eye, The warmth of your skin. Your breath on my neck, That quivers within. The touch of your hand, The smell of your hair. The kindness in your smile, That strength in your stare. Your kiss on my lips, Your body near mine. The stroke of your touch, That feeling inside. The sound of your voice, Compassion in your embrace. The serenity in your stride, The power in your face. The calming of your presence, The beating of your heart. The promise of tomorrow, That we may never part. The beauty of your kiss, and that magic in your touch. It is for all these reasons and more, Why I love you so much. - Averil Binetti 41

My Vow To You When you are sad, I will dry your tears When you are scared, I will comfort your fears When you need love, my heart I will share When you are sick, for you I will care You will feel my love when we are apart Knowing that nothing will change my heart When you are worried, I will give you hope When you are confused, I will help you cope When you are lost, and cant see the light My love will be a beacon, shining ever so bright This is my vow, one that I pledge till the end For you above all are my wife and best friend These words I have written, speak of my love for you From my lips these words spoken, shall always ring true God has blessed me, and with your hand in mine Both of our hearts, will forever intertwine Into all lives, falls pain and sorrows, I promise together, we will meet all tomorrows Happy in marriage, honor and love blessed in unity by God above - Earl J. Dawson Jr. 42 Keeper Of My Dreams When you're not here to share my days and nights My life is so incomplete For you are my heart, my soul The oneness I had known to seek Without you I merely exist from day to day With you I know that I will find All that I have been searching for My completeness, my eternal peace of mind

You are the keeper of my dreams The man who holds my heart in his hands The one I want to spend my life with The one with whom I will always stand Stand beside through thick and thin Through all that life will throw our way Knowing that this special love we share Will guide us, each and every day This journey was started long ago Before this time and place The journey of completeness As two hearts and souls embrace Forever is what I want with you For the search is at an end Our hearts have found each other As lovers, as soul-mates, as friends. - Written and owned by Denise Mangano 43 As Long As You're Near The first time we met, I could see, That you and I, were meant to be. Your eyes were so gentle, your smile so true, When you first held my hand, I just knew. Now the time has gone by, through laughter and tears, These days I shall cherish, for years upon years. Those memories we have, shall never fade, For those are the steps, that we have made. That was the past, the future is near, I anxiously wait, for what will appear. New homes, more laughter, and children so dear, Everything will be wonderful, as long as you're near.

- Cristy Smith 44 Motionless If time could stand still, Id freeze it here, So youd always hold me, close and near. In your arms, where Im meant to be, Filled with the perfect love youve given me. A bond so strong, a hold so tight, To know youre the one; my Mr. Right. A blessing sent from up above, In you Ive found my one true love. Our lives entwined to be as one, Upon this journey weve just begun. Where you and I will find no less, Than eternal love and happiness. - Kelley Saint 45 It Is You I Dream Of A flower grows from beneath a blanket Of fine and purest white It reaches toward the sun for warmth, For heat and for the light My love for you grows stronger still, Despite the surrounding cold My heart is yours, bartered gone For yours has it been sold Its petals shine from morning dew Its stem grows stiff and strong It stands strong through the freezing cold It stands the winter long

I long for you, for your soft touch I miss the way you smile The longer that we stay apart The longer every mile The flower stretches through the snow It reaches toward the sun And now without you the color is gone The flower's petals, dun But as we talk, and as we learn The flower comes back to life The snow now melts and goes away As you take away my strife Spring is here and growth abounds As you and I are one We are together, we are in love The snow for now is done I see the future, in dreams I have Of our life, long and true I see the times where all I need Are comforting words from you I see the times when winter comes As winter tends to do But we still love, and we still live And I do still love you And so we live, with children ours And a life of much to see With love we live, to live we love Happy together are we I see the flower, older now, But still strong with fresh new leaves I see it growing, tall and strong Reaching to the eaves We are now old, as years have passed But old together are we

And strong our love still today As strong as it can be - J.R. King 46 About You Your touch is with me always, Its burnt into my skin, As soft and warm as sun rays When a summer day sets in. Your soft voice never silent, Its forever in my ears, Serenading every moment And calming all my fears. Your arms always enfold me, The strength of angels wings, They support and protect me wholly With the safety a true love brings. While I can never repay you, For the wonder you bring to my life, I can forever be true, And forever be a true wife. - Nicola May Tucker 47 Are There Angels? It is said there are Angels In Heaven above And they shine with the light Of an inner love Of these things I had not a clue But that was

Before I found you For in you Ive found A love that is so right It shines all around With the brightest of light It comes from somewhere So deep within That it has no beginning And knows no end Your love is a light That brightens each day Of all of the people You see on your way Where ever you go Or whatever you do All see the love That you have inside you That God sent you here To a place where youd be Sharing such love With someone like me Is proof for me That angels exist And are filled with a love That no man could resist I thank God each day For finding the time For looking down on me And making you mine So yes there are Angels In heaven above I know because God Sent me one to love

- Alan Burleson (for Deborah) 48 Daydream Whenever I day dream, and day dream I do, in my secret garden, I day dream of you. I day dream of you, in a faraway land; embracing me tight and holding my hand. Holding my hand, and touching my face. Just you and me, in this peaceful place. In this peaceful place a pristine river flows. Where the unicorns run, a breeze always blows. A breeze always blows and sings of a song; our love in a place where you're never gone. Where you're never gone is as it would seem, from dusk until dawn, whenever I day dream. And whenever I day dream, and day dream I do, in my secret garden, I day dream of you. 49

I was sort of hoping, That you would come along, Like the answer to a prayer, And the music to a song. Like the kind of thing that happens, At a special place and time, That will change our lives forever, Like a fantasy of mine. The fantasy was there before, I ever knew your name, And now that I have found you, We will never be the same. So, pardon, if I look at you, Forgive me if I stare, At the fantasy I knew before, I saw you standing there. For I was always hoping, That you would come along, Like the answer to a prayer, And the music to a song - Rachel 50 Reflections of a Beautiful Morning The sun rises above the hillcrest, As does the joy of my heart; Rays of warmth and love, From her I will never depart. Fresh dew upon the grass, Young birds chirp in their nests; I watch her gently sleep, My love to her I silently profess. I enjoy the stillness and calm,

Watching as she smiles and dreams; She brings me to stillness and peace, Like that of a slow flowing stream. My heart and soul flow with love, And I smile as I quietly reflect; Ive been handed a sweet princess, A sweet princess to love and to protect. A vow to myself I make, As she quietly sleeps away; To love and always cherish her, Until my last breath... until my last day. - Michael Brieck
