Love Poetry

A love song is just a caress set to music. They are often songs that are the best means to revive those feelings of a lost or current love. They are a fundamental part of pop music and culture and are typically, romantic ballads, but some are also about the darker side of infidelities and break-ups. How do YOU feel a love song? Do you let it caress you…

A love song is more like a love poem with the only difference of an addition of music with it. It is usually about falling in love and the happiness it brings.

This type of song in the first person are quite rare before the middle of the nineteenth century, but it is not known why this is. However, many believe that love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness where you are able to feel the warmth and beauty of the season embedded in the music of the song.

These songs are also a part of the wonderful tradition of stage and screen musicals which are part of our culture. They can be about the purging of a coy mistress, fantasizing about an estranged lover or about being torn between two lovers.

Love songs are the dance of spirit as it sweats out passion. About the pull and twist of a violin, crying out wanting to be heard, strings popping and reverberating into a multiverse.

These songs are everywhere, and for everybody. They are the poetry of daily life — a poetry of passion and death, hurt and humor, pleasures and torn dreams of desire. Love songs are one of the most famous forms of expressing love to one another from time and again. Musicians through the years have given it their best attempt to express the meaning of love in their songs.

How do YOU feel A love song? Try to feel them consciously by recognizing such events:

– Feel the love song at a wedding: Music plays a special part on that day and the quest for the perfect wedding song is something almost all brides go on. Beautiful piano music and slow romantic love songs are wonderful compliments to this setting.

– To bring someone closer to you: Play a love song that reverberates in your heart. Romantic love songs are the secret diaries of your heart and soul.

– On special occasions: Valentine’s Day songs and romance have gone together since the beginning of time.

– When experiencing a break-up or loss: Express your emotions by listening to love songs for some can be a therapeutic way of coping with a bad break up, losing a loved one, or simply expressing emotion.

– For expressing thanks and gratitude: Christmas love songs fill your heart with joy, and affection…and don’t fail to express thanks, gratitude and love for yourself and your blessings.

One person wrote from Feeling The Music Philosophy: My perception of feeling music is based on interpreting and feeling the vibrations from the music both ‘physiologically’ and through ‘artificial sound’ through using my hearing aids.

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter, togetherness is all I’m after…Tell me, how do YOU feel a love song?

1. Presentation. Use beautiful stationery (a neutral, soft color, such as cream or white) and a flair pen with black or brown ink—no blues, greens or reds! Remember, your Love Letter is being written to someone special. Hand-written letters are best. This is personal–you are not writing a business letter!

2. Ambience. Go to a secluded place and put on soft, romantic music. A quiet room would be nice. Dim the lights. Stimulate a romantic mood.

3. Keepsake. Date your Love Letter (month, day, year). This is a letter that will be treasured and remembered. You can bet that it will be read over and over and safeguarded in a special place.

4. Greeting. Choose an endearing salutation. Don’t be formal. Use you love’s first name. For example: "My dearest Jennifer . . ." or "My darling Matt . . ."

5. Beginning. Start your Love Letter by telling your beloved your reasons for writing. For instance: "I have lain awake many sleepless nights trying to compose words that might adequately describe the feelings of my heart. But every time I have made the attempt, I have failed miserably. Please forgive my poor effort and accept a trite and simple phrase: I love you. I think I can say it no better than that…" Never insult your beloved’s feelings or belittle yourself by saying something like: "I know you probably don’t feel this way," or "You must think I’m crazy." If you are timid in your Love Letter, your attempt at conveying heartfelt words will fall flat and might be misunderstood.

6. Body. The body of the Love Letter should include reasons for why you fell in love. Here are some ideas:

recall when you fell in love with him/her explain how your life has changed for the better describe how much you miss your love when you’re apart explain that you can’t imagine life without him/her list some of the many things you have in common tell how wonderful and complete he/she makes you feel recall some special moments you’ve shared together mention times you’ve picked him/her out of a crowd list qualities that set him/her apart from everyone else

Avoid being casual, too light-hearted, or openly erotic. A Love Letter is a letter of respect that coveys deep, difficult-to-express feelings. Don’t discount the impact of poetry in place of, or in addition to, your words. Maybe your beloved has a favorite author or poet. It will be seen as a compliment if you take the time to quote someone he/she admires. Be sure to give proper credit where it’s due. Don’t forget the Internet is a great place to find that poem or song you are trying to quote!

Be real. Your Love Letter should be a carefully crafted work of art, but it also needs to sound sincere. You want your Love Letter to make your beloved fall in love, not fall into laughter. Be confident as you express your emotions, dreams, and vulnerability.

7. Closing. End your Love Letter with carefully worded prose: "There, I have said it. I can rest now. And as I dream, I will dream of you." Make your closing upbeat and positive.

8. Valediction. Don’t just end with: "Love, Eric." Even if you said, "All my love," it would be better. You become even more romantic by writing something like: "Dream of me, my love…" What you want is a simple, yet heartfelt goodbye: "With undying love," or "Forever yours." Remember, you may think this is too sappy, but your loved one will treasure each word. Be prepared to have it quoted to you in years to come.

9. Insert. Include a special extra: petals from a flower, sprinkles of stars, a teabag of your favorite tea …You get the idea. That little extra effort means you really put some thought (and heart) into this.

10. Neatness counts. Gently fold the Love Letter and place it in a neatly addressed envelope—hopefully, one that matches your stationery. The correct way is to fold a small stationery sheet (or sheets) in half with the text on the inside. Place the letter in the envelope with the crease at the bottom and the salutation facing the back. Hand address the envelope. Remember what your elementary teacher taught you about penmanship–make sure your love is able to read your writing! Add a stamp that looks romantic–the Garden Bouquet stamps are nice–and affix it upside down. It is a custom that means, "I love you." Drop the letter in the mail. That’s it! Expect an emotional response. And here’s another tip: buy some breath mints–you’ll need them!

11. Be expressive. Here are some popular words to use in your Love Letter: angel, angelic, lover, giving, alluring, tempting, sensual, sensuality, seeing, tasting, touching, holding, caressing, memories, memorable, darling, gorgeous, absence, velvet, voyage, beautiful, vision, elation, blossoms, happy, kisses, innocent, passion, dreaming, delirious, temptation, complete, desire, content, embrace, rainbow, rose, adoring, stars, privileged, heart.

Can anybody be published in the Poetry.com anthologies? Are you only published if you buy the anthology? Also, does everybody who submits a poem get an offer for a Who’s Who in Poetry Pin and Medallion?

I love to write poetry and think it would be great to see some of my stuff published in their anthology, and the medallion looks great….but I kinda believe anyone who submits any piece of crap poem gets the same offer.

Does anyone know if the honor is real or they just want your money?

Letting go

Love is hard to leave
Letting go is harder than seems
A sweet gentle is all you might miss
But to someone else it’s heavenly bliss
Letting go doesn’t mean to stop loving
It means to stop hurting

Forgetting is hard to do
A kiss can’t be forgotten
A touch is easy to miss
To love and forget is highly impossible
Letting go doesn’t mean to forget the memories
It means to stop letting them haunt you
There was some spelling mistakes this should be better: Letting go

Love is hard to leave
Letting go is harder than it seems
A sweet gentle touch is all you might miss
But to someone else it’s heavenly bliss
Letting go doesn’t mean to stop loving
It means to stop hurting

Forgetting is hard to do
A kiss can’t be forgotten
A touch is easy to miss
To love and forget is highly impossible
Letting go doesn’t mean to forget the memories
It means to stop letting them haunt you

Blank verses
Like an empty canvas
Stares at me
Relentlessly
Insisting me
To create
Some kind of art
Of hate
Or love
Of joy
Or despair

An art in which
I have lost touch…
