Relationships and love  Poems on specific subjects and themes   Return to home page

If I could be romantic, I would

I would compare thee to the roses in the garden,

but I don’t like flowers.

I would pluck the stars from the heavens and hand them to you,

but I’m not into astronomy.

I would write you poems expressing my undying love for you,

But I’m not that clever with words.

Instead, I kneel at your bosom,

(This I can do saying,)

“I love you.”
