			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We love short rhyming love poems. They are romantic &#8211; they are sweet &#8211; they can&#8217;t be beat! (We couldn&#8217;t resist to use a few words that rhyme!) </p>
<p><strong>Eternity Dream</strong></p>
<p>You make my heart<br />
get a head start<br />
to the finish line<br />
of this dream of mine<br />
of you and me<br />
for eternity</p>
<p><strong>Floating</strong></p>
<p>I am floating<br />
I&#8217;m not gloating<br />
you make me feel<br />
so very unreal<br />
up in the air<br />
bounce without care<br />
weightless and free<br />
when you say you love me</p>
<p><strong>Surround Me</strong></p>
<p>Surround me<br />
your arms<br />
around me<br />
Surround me<br />
I breathe you in<br />
I breathe you in</p>
<p><strong>Why I Love You</strong></p>
<p>Those little things you<br />
do, like whisper in my ear<br />
are why I love you</p>
<p><strong>Kiss Twist</strong></p>
<p>One short sweet kiss<br />
leaves the taste of your lips:<br />
a kiss twist</p>
<p><strong>Two Hearts Beat</strong></p>
<p>When two hearts beat<br />
you and I complete<br />
tingling in my feet<br />
whenever our two hearts great</p>
<p><strong>Love River</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a love river<br />
makes you quiver<br />
so strong<br />
and long<br />
flowing beautiful<br />
rushing until full</p>
<p><strong>A Few Words Why</strong></p>
<p>Honey I&#8217;d like to share with you<br />
a few words why I love you&#8230;<br />
From your lovely face<br />
to your purest grace<br />
Those beautiful eyes<br />
You are a sweet surprise<br />
greeting me every day<br />
I just wanted to say<br />
these few words why<br />
my heart can fly<br />
when I&#8217;m with you<br />
I love you</p>
<p><strong>A Love Begun</strong></p>
<p>A love begun<br />
with one plus one<br />
is what starts<br />
the joining of hearts</p>
<p><strong>Polished Stones</strong></p>
<p>Take the rough<br />
soften the tough<br />
shine enough<br />
like a polished stone<br />
is love alone</p>
<p><strong>Dancing Together</strong></p>
<p>Dancing together<br />
how could you forget her<br />
with grace so sweet<br />
on her sailing feet<br />
across the floor<br />
you adore</p>
<p>We hope you enjoy our short rhyming love poems!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Show someone how much you love them with a cute 100 Reasons I Love You Poem!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Could there be anything more romantic than a 100 reasons why I love you poem? When you want your partner to know how much you care, it&#8217;s a great way to show what it is you love about them and why you want them in your life.</p>
<p>Best of all, you don&#8217;t really have to worry a lot about rhyming or anything else. This type of style is very easy to do and you can easily duplicate it in a few different ways to customize it for the person you love.</p>
<p><strong>100 Reasons Why I Love You</strong></p>
<p>I love the way you laugh (that&#8217;s one)<br />
I love the way you smile (there&#8217;s two)<br />
I could go on all night long<br />
giving you all the reasons I love you</p>
<p>You always listen to what I have to say<br />
you always know what to do to brighten up my day<br />
I like the way you kiss me on my cheek<br />
I like the way your hair is so sleek</p>
<p>I love the way you tilt your head just so<br />
as if there is something I&#8217;m supposed to know</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the way you think of me<br />
before you think of yourself<br />
and the way you organized<br />
all the sweaters on my shelf</p>
<p>I love the way you write me notes<br />
and hide them for me to find<br />
I love the way it seems like you always<br />
know what&#8217;s going on in my mind</p>
<p>You are always polite<br />
with pleases and thank yous<br />
And this poem of 100 reasons<br />
is a way to say you&#8217;re welcome to you</p>
<p>You never seem to get distressed<br />
Even when you are really stressed</p>
<p>I love how you think to the future<br />
and how you&#8217;re filled with hope<br />
I love how no matter what the<br />
situation is, you always know how to cope</p>
<p>I love the way you<br />
eat your salad<br />
I love the way you<br />
eat a hamburger</p>
<p>I also love that<br />
you always remember<br />
the good times<br />
and you can always plan ahead</p>
<p>Now we&#8217;re at 21 reasons, can you believe it already?<br />
I haven&#8217;t even mentioned yet<br />
how much i love your spaghetti!</p>
<p>I love your charm, I love your wit<br />
I love how you stand and sit<br />
I love you when you&#8217;re sleeping<br />
I love you when you&#8217;re dreaming<br />
every minute of every day<br />
I can&#8217;t even tell you how much<br />
I love it when you say<br />
you love me too</p>
<p>I love how you get along<br />
with everybody<br />
you even somehow<br />
get along with my family</p>
<p>I love it how you know<br />
how to fix things<br />
How you know to make<br />
everything all right<br />
I love how you steal the covers<br />
in the middle of the night</p>
<p>It&#8217;s your trust,<br />
your honesty<br />
your loyalty and more<br />
can you believe I&#8217;m now at reason #54?</p>
<p>I love the way you<br />
know everything<br />
i love that you can name the 23rd president of the United States<br />
(what&#8217;s his name again?)<br />
And I love how you wash the plates</p>
<p>I love those little dimples<br />
and the sparkles in your eyes<br />
I love the way you smell<br />
and even when you cry</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the way you always share<br />
the way you always care<br />
The way you bring inspiration<br />
and your compassion</p>
<p>I love your crreative thinking<br />
your artistic side<br />
the way you do things the way you see right<br />
and how you do not judge<br />
or ever criticize</p>
<p>I could go on all night<br />
with a million reasons here<br />
but I can sum them up with<br />
just one little word:<br />
EVERYTHING!<br />
I love everything about you!</p>
<p>Do you think your partner might like a 100 Reasons I Love You Poem? Why not go ahead and write them one? It&#8217;s not hard, and it can be a lot of fun!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We share some love poems for him that are great examples for inspiration on what poems you can use for the man in your life.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writing or finding love poems for a guy can be tricky sometimes, because many times guys are not always really emotional and you don&#8217;t want to risk being too overly emotional or mushy, but you still want to show how much you care and love him. The good news is that even though it might be a little more difficult to find the perfect words to express the way you feel, this doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t write or share love poems for him that won&#8217;t be greatly appreciated and well received. </p>
<p>In most cases, it&#8217;s best to think about what your guy likes the best and how you communicate with one another as it is. Doing something totally out of character or unusual may seem strange, but if the poem is written in normal conversational style chances are your guy will be happy with it.</p>
<p>Here are some example Love Poems for Him we decided to share with you to use as some inspiration:</p>
<p><strong>Always With Me</strong></p>
<p>I close my eyes and you are there<br />
in my dreams every night<br />
I take a deep breath and I<br />
inhale your taste<br />
and everything feels all right</p>
<p>You are always with me<br />
no matter where I go<br />
And I will always love you<br />
more than I could show</p>
<p>I close my eyes and remember<br />
all the good times we&#8217;ve spend<br />
together, a minute is<br />
never wasted when I spend it with you</p>
<p>You are always on my mind<br />
You are always in my heart<br />
No matter what else is going on<br />
I know we&#8217;re never apart</p>
<p><strong>Turns Out I Love You</strong></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know it when I knew it<br />
I couldn&#8217;t show it I thought I blew it<br />
So many thoughts racing through my head<br />
so many things I could have done instead</p>
<p>Why didn&#8217;t I see it so much sooner<br />
that you were the right one for me<br />
How could I have not realized<br />
that I loved you as much as you love me?</p>
<p>I never would have expected this<br />
not in a million and forty five years<br />
you&#8217;re the one I&#8217;m thinking about<br />
all the time in my mind</p>
<p>So even though I<br />
feel kind of silly<br />
and even though it<br />
seems kind of strange<br />
I can&#8217;t help but tell you<br />
it turns out I love you.</p>
<p><strong>In Football and Baseball</strong></p>
<p>In football and baseball, I do thee wed<br />
through goals and home runs<br />
overtime and penalties<br />
down the yards lines I will run for you<br />
and how I will stretch to make<br />
that winning catch for you<br />
Whatever the score may be<br />
whether winning or losing<br />
I will always be your cheerleader</p>
<p><strong>I Suck at Writing Poems</strong></p>
<p>I am not a very good poet. Seriously.<br />
I do not know how to make the words rhyme right<br />
I could spend all night trying to think of words<br />
and phrases that rhyme with you<br />
I don&#8217;t know anything about stanzas<br />
I don&#8217;t know how to get the perfect meter<br />
I am not sure if what I write is even logical or<br />
makes sense<br />
and I&#8217;m sure there are a million rules of poetry I may be breaking<br />
But, I don&#8217;t care, and<br />
I know you don&#8217;t care,<br />
because you love me, and when you<br />
love somebody you don&#8217;t mind<br />
that their poetry is horrible, rotten really<br />
so bad it should be crumpled up and never read<br />
because that&#8217;s what love is about. You know? It&#8217;s okay to<br />
write a crappy poem and share it with somebody you<br />
love because when they love you and you love them<br />
then it doesn&#8217;t matter what you write<br />
you just know<br />
that everything is okay<br />
better than okay<br />
it&#8217;s freaking awesome.</p>
<p>And so, despite my horrible poetry writing skills<br />
I have decided<br />
I would write this poem<br />
just especially for you<br />
to tell you<br />
that I love you<br />
and I&#8217;m glad<br />
that I can share<br />
even my worst talents<br />
with you and they will still<br />
make you smile. </p>
<p>Hope you enjoyed these!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I share one of my funny teenage love poems about how awkward it is to be in love in high school. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post on funny teenage love poems was inspired by an old poem I found that I wrote when I was a little bit older than a teenager, but was going through that same phase of feelings you get when you&#8217;re a teenager because I don&#8217;t know why, but I felt like these strange feelings of nervousness around the guy. Now though, I barely remember why I even wrote it in the first place.</p>
<p>I had a really supportive English teacher about my bad poetry, and so because we always had a class every week where we would write our own poems and share one with the class, I gave him a bunch of my poems and asked him to help me pick the right one to read out loud to the class. </p>
<p>This particular poem was one of them in the pile, and he said to me: &#8220;Dude, there is something wrong with you.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, maybe this is the right one to share under a category of funny poems about teenage love.</p>
<p><strong>Suddenly</strong></p>
<p>Suddenly,<br />
I am fifteen<br />
I am fifteen again<br />
and I don&#8217;t know what to do with my arms<br />
when your own are around mine</p>
<p>I would like to just chop them<br />
off so I wouldn&#8217;t have to worry<br />
about my arms getting in the way </p>
<p>but then you would not love me<br />
how could you love me?<br />
nobody would love a girl who chopped off<br />
her own arms.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>I would write more, but it&#8217;s hard to think of teenage love as funny &#8211; mostly its just miserably awkward for a lot of people. Though, looking back now, I suppose it is kind of funny. And I wonder sometimes if maybe my English teacher might have been right.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s your poem writing challenge for today: write funny teenage love poems. I&#8217;m sure you can think of something great!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We try our hand at writing some funny dirty love poems...but don't worry...they're actually pretty clean.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever read a few funny dirty love poems once in awhile? They&#8217;ll make you blush. Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; while our poems are &#8220;dirty&#8221; we have kept them PG-Rated because while we are okay with writing poems that use offensive or provocative language and totally think it is okay because poems are meant to express whatever it is that you are thinking, it&#8217;s just not our style to be a little too extreme, especially in matters like this. Not to mention, if we&#8217;re not careful, we might make people mad. </p>
<p>And while usually sometimes we don&#8217;t really care if we make someone mad with our poetry, we simply just don&#8217;t wish to publish that kind of stuff here because on the internet you really don&#8217;t ever know who will read it. And so, since we have no control over what age people are who will come to our site, we feel it is best to be very PC and family friendly. We don&#8217;t write or publish anything on this site that we would be horrified to find out our kids or our grandma read. </p>
<p>So, that&#8217;s why these poems are kind of funny, because they&#8217;re not dirty like you&#8217;re probably hoping for &#8211; they&#8217;re dirty in the sense of dirt, like the earth we stand upon. Hey, we&#8217;re trying to be creative here. </p>
<p><strong>Mud Bath</strong></p>
<p>You tell me<br />
you want to do<br />
something dirty<br />
something naughty<br />
something crazy</p>
<p>so we go outside<br />
and jump in muddy puddles.</p>
<p><strong>You Need a Bar of Soap</strong></p>
<p>Honey, I do love you,<br />
you know that.<br />
I love you like roses love their petals<br />
like cats love their naps<br />
I love you like a bowl of soup<br />
loves a spoon</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s something I noticed<br />
and it&#8217;s kinda hard to tell you<br />
but just remember how much i love you<br />
while you&#8217;re reading my little poem.</p>
<p>I know you worked very hard today<br />
and i&#8217;m sure you didn&#8217;t have time<br />
for a shower<br />
but honey,<br />
you need a bar of soap. </p>
<p><strong>Worms</strong></p>
<p>In science class<br />
we had to dissect worms<br />
and it was really gross<br />
the only way<br />
i could get over it<br />
was to think to myself<br />
about you<br />
and how you&#8217;re not gross<br />
and hopefully<br />
i will never have to dissect you.</p>
<p><strong>If You Loved Me</strong></p>
<p>If you loved me,<br />
your dirty clothes<br />
would go in the hamper<br />
and not on the floor.</p>
<p>If you loved me,<br />
you would put<br />
away the ketchup<br />
instead of leaving it on the table.</p>
<p>If you loved me,<br />
you would do the dishes<br />
you would vacuum<br />
you would take out the trash</p>
<p>because while i love you<br />
i&#8217;m not a maid.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Yeah, sorry if these poems might have disappointed you, especially if you were looking for something that was really funny or maybe just something that would be a little more risque&#8230;but, it was fun to write them at least! </p>
<p>Do you have a funny dirty love poem? If you can keep it clean, try writing one in the comments section below!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We give some tips for writing love poems for boyfriends as well as show off a few that we wrote for you to use as examples. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve ever tried writing love poems for boyfriends, you know how hard it can be! While there are some very sweet and sensitive guys out there that love poetry, a lot of times we feel a little self concious about writing one for a guy, afraid that they&#8217;ll think it&#8217;s cheesy or a little too mushy.</p>
<p>The key to writing good love poems for boyfriends is this: just be yourself. You don&#8217;t have to try really hard to write it, you don&#8217;t have to worry about the perfect form or even rhyming. Take a few lessons from our examples below:</p>
<p><strong>To the Moon</strong></p>
<p>I would like to take you to the moon<br />
where we would have a picnic<br />
and bounce around<br />
colliding into each other.</p>
<p>I would like to take you<br />
around the world<br />
a million times<br />
because no matter where I go<br />
I like being with you.</p>
<p>I would like to take you<br />
to the moon<br />
where the only ones we know<br />
would be each other</p>
<p><strong>When You&#8217;re Around</strong></p>
<p>When you&#8217;re around<br />
I don&#8217;t worry<br />
I don&#8217;t think about anything<br />
except sometimes the sound<br />
of your heart beating next to mine</p>
<p><strong>From You to Me</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s midnight<br />
and it&#8217;s been a long day<br />
and everything seems like it never<br />
goes right</p>
<p>until<br />
just now<br />
when i go to check my email<br />
and there&#8217;s a little note there<br />
from you</p>
<p>it&#8217;s the little things<br />
like that you do<br />
that make everything else<br />
seem okay</p>
<p><strong>Hearts Yodeling</strong></p>
<p>Does anybody yodel anymore?<br />
Yodel Yodel Yodel le he who&#8230;<br />
I think my heart has started<br />
yodeling for you.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know why<br />
but I can&#8217;t contain the cry<br />
a cry of joy<br />
yodeling for you</p>
<p>Yodel Yodel Yodel<br />
I love you</p>
<p><strong>I Found the Reason</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s something<br />
about the way<br />
you and I can fly<br />
together<br />
that made me think today<br />
that there must be<br />
something bigger</p>
<p>And I wonder,<br />
if in the realm of the universe<br />
if there might be a reason<br />
a reason I&#8217;ve discovered you<br />
and the reason you discovered me</p>
<p>Could it be<br />
that you were meant for me<br />
could it be<br />
that i am meant for you<br />
could it be<br />
there&#8217;s a reason<br />
we&#8217;re together every day?</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know a lot about this stuff<br />
and I know that life can be tough<br />
to figure out what everything means</p>
<p>But I think I&#8217;ve found the reason<br />
why you and I are together<br />
and it&#8217;s because<br />
we&#8217;re meant to be. </p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s Only You</strong></p>
<p>Like a pickle on a hamburger<br />
like a baseball to the glove<br />
like a swimming pool to the diving board<br />
I need you<br />
and nothing else will do.</p>
<p>In the summer<br />
in the fall<br />
in the spring<br />
and when you call<br />
I can&#8217;t help but melt<br />
when I hear your voice.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a prickle in my stomach<br />
there&#8217;s a sizzle in my toes<br />
there&#8217;s something about you<br />
that makes my heart explode</p>
<p>and if I try to think of any other<br />
I only seem to discover<br />
there isn&#8217;t any other<br />
who&#8217;s ever made me feel this way<br />
before&#8230;</p>
<p>it&#8217;s only you.</p>
<p><strong>Big Love</strong></p>
<p>Big Hugs<br />
and big kisses too<br />
i&#8217;ve got such a big love<br />
to wrap around you</p>
<p>As you can see from these examples, there&#8217;s nothing too complicated about simply writing a few phrases that come to mind. You don&#8217;t have to rhyme (though you certainly can) and you don&#8217;t have to make it overly mushy. Sometimes just relating to something that your boyfriend likes can help you find the perfect inspiration for your love poems for boyfriends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-154" title="gangster-poems" src="http://poemsbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gangster-poems.jpg" alt="gangster-poems" width="325" height="86" /></p>
<p>Today&#8217;s poetry challenge: Write gangster sad love poems.</p>
<p>Writing about something that you have no experience with or no nothing about is a great way to push your boundaries and creativity as a writer. Everybody in their lifetime at least once will feel that feeling of sad love where someone doesn&#8217;t love you like you love them, or you can&#8217;t be together, or maybe something sad happened that made you cry. Writing about it from a different perspective or point of view can help you better yourself as a poetry writer. Sure, you might feel a little awkward about it, but it really will give you some inspiration, we promise.</p>
<p>A gangster is a member in a gang of criminals. Think about the classic musical of the West Side Story &#8211; the somewhat modern take on classic Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers were members of different gangs. Or you could try writing the poem from the perspective of a character in the movie the Godfather. Have fun with it!</p>
<p>Here are a few examples to get you started &#8211; but don&#8217;t hesitate to do something completely different, too!</p>
<p><strong>Division</strong></p>
<p>In the neighborhood<br />
in the streets<br />
in the eyes of the devil<br />
in the sleep</p>
<p>I see an angel<br />
I see her lips<br />
she whispers honey</p>
<p>She&#8217;s from the other side<br />
if she only knew what it&#8217;s like<br />
she&#8217;d be terrified</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a division between us<br />
it is an imaginary line<br />
I can&#8217;t tell you why it&#8217;s there<br />
but it&#8217;s been there for a really long time</p>
<p>They say this angel<br />
they say she&#8217;s no good for me<br />
afraid to stand up and say<br />
i&#8217;m too good for this</p>
<p>in the neighborhood of darkness<br />
behind the sun and moon<br />
there&#8217;s love waiting for us<br />
but it must just be too soon<br />
we can&#8217;t be together<br />
until we find peace</p>
<p><strong>Tell Mama</strong></p>
<p>tell my mama i&#8217;m in love with a gangster<br />
tell my mama that it&#8217;s too late now<br />
ain&#8217;t nothing I can say to convince her<br />
that falling for a gangster can work out</p>
<p>he&#8217;s gonna by me diamond rings<br />
he&#8217;s gonna quit once he gets me everything</p>
<p>tell my mama i&#8217;m moving out<br />
tell her I&#8217;m pregnant now<br />
tell my mama it&#8217;s a baby boy</p>
<p>he&#8217;s gonna get it when he gets home<br />
ain&#8217;t seen him in days leaving us all alone</p>
<p>tell my mama i&#8217;ve been missing her<br />
tell my mama should&#8217;ve listened to her<br />
tell my mama i&#8217;m coming home</p>
<p><em>Okay, now its your turn to write a gangster sad love poem! Share yours in the comments below.</em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Will You Marry Me Poems are a great way to ask someone to marry you. You can use the ones we've created to ask the big question or use them as inspiration to write your own. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These will you marry me poems are great inspiration for asking the one you love to marry you. Proposing is a whirlwind of excitement, nervousness, and happiness. Writing a poem is one way to show how you feel and ask them to marry you in a creative, romantic, and memorable way.</p>
<p>When you are writing engagement poems, it is important that you make it as personal as possible. Making it personal is what makes it special &#8211; using a generic poem isn&#8217;t going to win you any romance points, especially in the time of the internet when you can easily search for a poem and see if someone else wrote it first.</p>
<p>The good news is, even if you aren&#8217;t a natural poet or good with coming up with rhymes or expressing your feelings, there are many great examples for you to use and adapt into your own work. If you find a poem you like you can always personalize it to make it more special for your both.</p>
<p>Here are a few sample and example Will You Marry Me Poems to use:</p>
<p><strong>A Question</strong></p>
<p>In my life I&#8217;ve had many questions to ask<br />
and it seems since knowing you<br />
they&#8217;ve all been answered</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve made everything complete<br />
You&#8217;ve swept me off my feet<br />
Everything I need to understand<br />
Can be had just by holding your hand</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never been so sure of anything else in my life<br />
as I ask you one last question:<br />
Will you be my wife?</p>
<p><strong>The Only One</strong></p>
<p>So many times we wonder<br />
what we&#8217;ll do with our lives<br />
and who will be there by our side</p>
<p>You&#8217;re the only one I want beside me<br />
for the rest of my life<br />
Will you Marry Me?</p>
<p><strong>Someday Starts Today</strong></p>
<p>I always thought<br />
someday I would meet<br />
a beautiful person<br />
who would change the way<br />
I see the world</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know who it would be<br />
or what we would do<br />
but I knew when I first saw you<br />
that person would be you</p>
<p>And so it seems that someday<br />
has become today<br />
and I&#8217;d like to ask you<br />
will you marry me and spend<br />
every other someday with me too?</p>
<p><strong>Can&#8217;t Wait Another Day</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve thought about making sure<br />
I had all the timing just right<br />
to pick a day you would<br />
remember the rest of your life</p>
<p>And so it seems there is<br />
always something happening<br />
I can&#8217;t seem to find that perfect moment<br />
for a question I&#8217;ve been asking</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait another day<br />
Will you Marry Me?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[These I Heart You Poems are a great way to show someone how you feel. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I heart you poems is another fun little exercise for poetry writing that will help you write some more fun and exciting poems. </p>
<p>The theme of this challenge is to use the words &#8220;I Heart You&#8221; in your poem and write about anything you want to write about &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t necessarily need to be about love or relationships to be a good poem. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some of our examples:</p>
<p><strong>I Heart You, Poem</strong></p>
<p>I heart you poem.<br />
i love you<br />
I have you<br />
in my head<br />
the words<br />
inside my heart<br />
the love inside the dark<br />
your poem is beautiful your<br />
time is a word I can&#8217;t understand.</p>
<p><strong>Hearts, a Typography Poem</strong></p>
<p>Typography<br />
the letters and symbols<br />
sometimes numerals</p>
<p>used frequently<br />
in computer applications<br />
when you cannot<br />
use a pen to draw and express your emotions</p>
<p>we create these instead<br />
I <3 You<br />
XOXOXOXO<br />
xxxs &#038; ooos</p>
<p>You make me <img src='http://poemsbox.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
You make me <img src='http://poemsbox.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I <3 You.</p>
<p><strong>Two Hearts Sitting on a Bench</strong></p>
<p>There are two hearts sitting on a bench<br />
and they&#8217;ve only now just met<br />
and the one asks the other<br />
how he got on the bench<br />
and he tells the story of abandonment<br />
and misery<br />
and then that heart asks the other heart<br />
what brought it to the bench<br />
and the answer was love,<br />
because when love is in misery<br />
it needs another heart to hold.</p>
<p><strong>You and Me</strong></p>
<p>You and me<br />
are perfect as can be<br />
You and me<br />
belong in a tree<br />
a really big tall tree<br />
one with lots of leaves<br />
one that lets us be together<br />
without anyone interrupting us.</p>
<p>You and me<br />
let&#8217;s swing up high<br />
let&#8217;s swing all night<br />
the branches will never let us go<br />
because i heart you.</p>
<p><strong>When Your Heart Hurts</strong></p>
<p>When your heart hurts,<br />
I will bring you the band aid<br />
I will give you the syrup<br />
the happily ever after magic kiss<br />
that makes it all better.</p>
<p>When your heart hurts,<br />
I will do what it takes<br />
to make it not hurt anymore<br />
so you can go back to loving again</p>
<p>When your heart hurts,<br />
I will give you mine to hold.</p>
<p><strong>I Heart You</strong></p>
<p>I heart houses.<br />
I heart New York.<br />
I heart apple juice.<br />
I heart a fork.</p>
<p>I heart cats.<br />
I heart dogs.<br />
I heart horses,<br />
I even heart frogs.</p>
<p>But of all these things<br />
there&#8217;s only one that matters the most:<br />
Yes, it is that<br />
I heart YOU.<br />
<3 <3</p>
<p>Do you have any I heart you poems you would like to share? Have any thoughts on our sample poems we shown? Take the I Heart Poems challenge and share your poetry with us, we&#8217;d love to hear it!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This collection of I'll Miss You Poems has some interesting poems including "I'll Miss You. Period." and "Someone I'll Never See Again" and "I Hope You Don't Miss Me as Much as I Miss You.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We decided to add a few more &#8220;I&#8217;ll Miss You Poems&#8221; to our poems box after we finished writing our collection of <a href="http://poemsbox.com/114/sweet-miss-you-poems/">Sweet Miss You Poems</a>.</p>
<p>Some of these have a little bite to them, others are just as sweet as the first batch. But enough of us talking about them already, why don&#8217;t we let you read them and decide for yourself what they might be about? You know we would love to hear your thoughts and comments in our commenting section below. </p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ll Miss You Period</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll Miss You.<br />
&#8230;</p>
<p>What more is there to say?<br />
You won&#8217;t be here<br />
I won&#8217;t be there.<br />
We won&#8217;t be together<br />
No more hearing the sound of your voice<br />
No more feeling your arms around me<br />
No more watching each other<br />
Rather than think<br />
about all of these things<br />
I&#8217;ll leave it at that.<br />
I&#8217;ll Miss You. Period.</p>
<p><strong>Wish It Wasn&#8217;t So</strong></p>
<p>Why do you have to leave now?<br />
When things are just beginning to get good<br />
It&#8217;s like interrupting a fairy tale<br />
before the happy ending</p>
<p>I can wish for so many things<br />
I could wish you&#8217;d come back<br />
But I can&#8217;t control anything<br />
I can&#8217;t make you stay here</p>
<p>Why&#8217;d you pick now<br />
of all the times to go<br />
Why do it when my love for<br />
you had just started to begin to grow?</p>
<p>Why not wait<br />
until I feel bitter first?<br />
Why did you wait<br />
for my heart to make<br />
room for you?</p>
<p>I wish it wasn&#8217;t so<br />
wish you didn&#8217;t have to go<br />
wish you&#8217;d stay a little longer<br />
let my heart beat a little stronger</p>
<p>I will miss you.</p>
<p><strong>Someone I&#8217;ll Never See Again</strong></p>
<p>You are someone<br />
I&#8217;ll never see again<br />
I know this<br />
the minute you<br />
decide you&#8217;re going away</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t come back to visit<br />
You won&#8217;t call me to say hello<br />
You won&#8217;t send me a message on facebook<br />
or even care to know<br />
what I&#8217;m up to or that I&#8217;d really<br />
like to still be where<br />
I used to be<br />
on your shelf of friends and family</p>
<p>And so,<br />
it&#8217;s just a prediction<br />
because I know that you said you would call<br />
and you said you would write<br />
but the truth is after too long<br />
we might forget the fight<br />
it takes to keep in contact.</p>
<p>I will miss you, somebody<br />
I&#8217;ll never see again.</p>
<p><strong>When You Get Up This Morning</strong></p>
<p>When you get up this morning,<br />
I&#8217;ll have a note<br />
there on the pillow<br />
telling you<br />
I&#8217;ve gone</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t leave an explanation<br />
I won&#8217;t characterize damnation<br />
I will starve you of the simple gratification<br />
of knowing why I&#8217;ve left.</p>
<p>There will be no foreseeing<br />
of the reasons of my leaving<br />
so you won&#8217;t know<br />
that I will miss you<br />
when I&#8217;ve gone.</p>
<p><strong>A Wonderful Day</strong></p>
<p>A wonderful day starts<br />
with me and you together<br />
we eat our breakfast<br />
you like the cereal and I go for the<br />
granola.</p>
<p>And then we talk about the things we&#8217;d like to do<br />
all day together with each other<br />
and then we go and do them<br />
until we are so happy and exhausted<br />
all we can do is say<br />
let&#8217;s go to bed and collapse<br />
into each other&#8217;s arms.</p>
<p>This is a perfect day, and all I can think of<br />
to keep me hanging on until you will come back.<br />
Until then, I&#8217;ll miss you.</p>
<p><strong>Miss You Already</strong></p>
<p>I miss you already.<br />
It&#8217;s been specifically fifteen minutes and thirty three seconds since you&#8217;ve left.<br />
Thirty four seconds.<br />
Thirty five seconds.</p>
<p>Oh why I am counting<br />
It won&#8217;t bring you back any sooner</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what to do<br />
I&#8217;m going to go crazy.<br />
I can&#8217;t think of anything else<br />
I can&#8217;t do anything else<br />
except think about<br />
how long it&#8217;s been<br />
and how long I&#8217;ve got to wait.</p>
<p>Let me tell you something,<br />
it&#8217;s a long time to wait when I&#8217;m away from you.<br />
I hope you don&#8217;t miss me as much as I miss you.<br />
I wouldn&#8217;t want you to go through this feeling I have<br />
this sensation of your head being numb<br />
and your toes on fire and your body unable to move<br />
like you&#8217;re half paralyzed in a stimulated environment<br />
where half the world is depending on you to do something<br />
and you can&#8217;t escape this feeling like a cat stuck in your chest</p>
<p>Yeah, I hope you don&#8217;t miss me that much. </p>
