On Valentine’s Day just gone, I was invited to be a guest on a local radio station – Radio Alty – and in particular, on a segment called The Late Late Lunch show with Rod Maxwell.
My brief – as an author – was simple. Write a few love poems and read them out, live on air.
So, two days before the show, I put on my romantic head and came up with some that I would like to share with you today. They are what I call “Valentine’s cards poems” – short (ish) and to the point – but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.
Of course, any thoughts you have on them – or any comments in general – would be welcomed; as much as an open log fire would welcome you when stepping in from the snowy outdoors.
Thanks for reading.
Paul.
Poems of love by P. A. Davies 2022
Love Sick.
My head is in a dizzy spin
My breath has gone away
My heart beats like a speeding train
Not only for a day.
My tummy’s catching butterflies
My face a constant smile
Cos from the moment we first met
I’ve loved you all the while.
**********
How sure is my love?
As sure the sunrise from the west.
As sure the star-lit skies.
As sure the moon will show her face.
You’ll be my Valentine.
As sure the spring makes flowers bloom.
As sure the sea has tides.
As sure the heavens meet the earth.
I’ll love you till I die.
**********
Candle
If I lit a candle
each second of time
that I thought about you
and felt myself smile.
Then all of the flames
from those candles would be
a light in the sky
for the whole world to see.
**********
The sum of all parts.
Roses aren’t always the colour of red,
Violets are not always blue.
And Valentine’s verses can never describe,
the love that my heart holds for you.
Without you I was but a fraction of me,
subtracted, divided in two.
But now you complete me in so many ways.
The best part of my life is you.
**********
You
You are my sun
You are my rain
You are my need
To breathe each day
You are my soul
You are my heart
You are my light
When times are dark
You are my guide
You are my truth
You are my strength
My weakness too
You are my hopes
You are my dreams
You are my one
My everything.
