English Poem. A Dream Within A Dream.by Edgar Allan Poe

A Dream Within A Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
by Edgar Allan Poe

English Poem. We, unaccustomed to courage by Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free
by Maya Angelou

love poetry - English Poetry On Love

He holds me when i started to cry...
makes me smile with just his eyes...
shares my hopes,dreams,and fears...
wipes away all my tears...
i love him without regret...
i just haven't found him yet. 

......

you know i love you dearly
but i cause you so much pain
i cannot find true happiness
and you feel you are to blame
it seems so unjust
for me to make you feel this way
it's so hard to decide
whether i should leave or stay
staying is not wise
as faking happiness is exhausting
leaving's a bit worse
for your heartbreak i would be causing
so show me what to do
help me to be strong
lend a helping hand
give me your shoulder to cry on

Lets Compromise
True understanding must prevail,
And if our thoughts don't harmonize,
We both should try to compromise.
.......
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 strenght,
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.
