LORCA`S VALENTINE POEM

[+GATOULIS]

Good morning to all!

 

Fairyhoney, Thank you for your kind words! I do not know if I am still young, I will be 33 on 28th of March, but...

 

Well, When we are in love, we are like fools, but later we have more wisdom and we realise that feeling we didn't even know we had, have come in surfice!

 

Love is the key to explore our soul, our deepest parts of ourself!

 

Here in Greece, we have 2 different words for love!

 

One is EROTAS! it is the first feeling we have, the enthousiasm....

Erotas was the small God with wings holding bow and arrows....Greek mythology!

 

The other word is AGAPI! This is the feeling we have after the enthusiasm of the first months! Itis the pure love, when you just look your other half in the eyes and know what he or she wants, needs, feels...

 

Erotas may pass after some time! It is like a wind! It comes, it rouse our lifes and then it leaves...or it turns into Agapi!

 

Agapi is for ever!!!

[+Geo.Error]

By the way, in Valentines day, I like to make poem with my girfriends name! Every letter of her name is the beggining of a line in the poem!

 

I am writing about things we passed too.... Unfortunatelly they are in Greek!

 

When you are writing about your love, to your love, poetry comes out without even know it! every word is a testimony of your heart!

 

You start writing and it seems that you can not stop!

A small cheap piece of paper, is turning into a precious treasure, a testimony of your soul, a vow of love!

 

Feelings are coming like the waves of the sea! when these waves reach you, they take you to the abyss of passion! A jail that you do not want to escape!

 

In true love, tears that may appear in eyes are not just tears! They are pure happines!

 

Anyway...... Love is a small word with a very bid and deep meaning!

Love is different to every man or woman!

 

I am from an island, so I believe that love is like the sea! Rough or calm, sweet or bitter, deep, with mystery... It makes you feel nice, or may destroy you, but even then, you can not live without her! ;-)

Hey Gatoulis

 

Can you show your poem in greek.

I am curious how it looks in those words.

Much romantic i thougt so.

[+Geo.Error]

I am in a very bad mood today

 

You know when you wake up and everything goes wrong.

And when i am in a bad mood ,you notice that, ask Lorca.nl she had me on the telephone.

Mister Error was also glad that he could work today.

But my loveone just calls me and ask me out of dinner and shopping.

That is love i feel me a little bit better and i think when he comes home, i am better.

So Lorce.nl you can call me if you want, i be nice.

and my loveone:

 

i love you

[+GATOULIS]

Lorca.nl, I know that this is only for poems, but I would like to post an old fairy tale about love!

I used to hear it when I was a child! I do not know if iti s Greek or from an other country!

 

One of the greatest and purest love (if not the biggest), is the one a mother can have for her children! Of course father's love is great, ok?, I am just saying that just because a mother carries the child for 9 months and she is giving birth to them, she is more connected to them!

 

Anyway....Once upon a time, there was a Mother and a child boy who were living in a poor house! The boy's father had died in the sea, trying to fish so his family can eat and live better! So, both now, mother and boy had to work hard to earn their food! Boy become a young man soon! He was a very good man, pretty and he always helped his mother who was old now!

 

One day he saw a beautiful girl and fell deeply in love with her! she was quite rich! She was the daughter of the man the boy was working! The boy started flirting the girl and she liked him too!

 

Unfortunatelly for the boy, she was only playing with him and she was a bad person! One day, when the boy was telling her how deeply he was in love with her, she asked him what he was capable to do, for her love!!!

The boy said "anything! For you anything!!!".

 

Then the girl said: Anything? I want the heart that loves you the most! I want to bring me your mothers heart!!!! If you bring it to me, I will marry you!

 

The boy left and did not know what to do! He went back home and he was sitting without talking, without eating! His mother asked him, what is the matter and the boy told her everything with tears in his eyes!

His mother listen carefully and aske her son if he really loved that girl! The boy sid yes and then his mother said: My child, I was staying alive only for you! I loved you father so much, I was looking at him while you were growing up! you look like him! I am old! If it is for your happiness, take my heart! I would do anything for you! Take my heart and go to your girl if that she realy wants! I will go to meet your father!

 

The boy, without thinking took a knife and took his mother heart! He started running to go as soon as possible to the girl, while the heart was still beating! whil he was running he lost his ballance and fell down! then he listen his mother voice comming out of the heart: "are you ok my child? Did you hurt your self?" The boy was socked! He took the heart from the dust, hold it and started crying! Oh my God! What I have done!!!

 

The story ends here! I know that it is not like other fairy tales! It doesn't have a happy end or something, but it shows that the love of the mother is so strong, never dies, and a mother can sacrifice everything, even her life for the happines of her child!!

hello gatoulis,

 

all the story`s about love are welkom.

i will tell your a tale concerning mothers and valentine.

each year on valentijn I reflect my large love a bunch of flowers and each year

she tell me no longer to do that.

and every year (I as her child) do it anyway each year also this.

because i have to give my valentine flowers.

I tell this because for me my valentine is my mother and the wise words that woman tells her son are the words that my mother tels me when i was little and till this day she thinks that the most important thing

a mother can wish for is the happyness for her childeren.

a bigger love can a child never wish for then the love of her mother.

 

greetings Lorca.nl

[+lelle1987]

If nothing else, you can wait a few years for Hanna to grow up, lol! Less than 13 years till she's 18!

That is sweet!

 

Flowers are such a noble present to say I love you, I miss you, I care about you, or...Thank you!!!

 

Litlle things like that make others feel good!!!

 

Of course, there is no need of a special day like Valentine's day to express our feelings to others!!!

Every day, is a special day, a unique day!

Rubber Ducky - by Ernie from Sesame Street

 

Rubber Ducky, you're the one.

You make bath time lots of fun

Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.

Rubber Ducky, joys of joys

When I squeak you, you make noise

Rubber Ducky, you're my very best friend, it's true!

 

Everyday when I make my way to the tubby

I find a little fella who' cute, yellow, and chubby.

(rub-a-dub-a-dubby)

 

Rubber Ducky you're so fine

And I'm lucky that you're mine

Rubber Ducky, I'm awfully fond of you.

PUPPY LOVE

 

The moment I saw you,

I knew it was true.

You had to be mine

and to Helena you flew.

 

When you arrived

as cute as a button,

I knew you'd chase cows

but never the mutton.

 

They called you Snoopy

but I call you Tristin

and now we're in class,

you're learning to listen.

 

You sit when you're told

and heel on command.

You've been easy to train

wish you were a man.

 

LMAO, that's as close to a 'love poem' as I'm gonna write

 

Oh yeah :

[+PengoFamily]

[lordxtra]

Oh wow. That is a cute pup

 

Well, for me I will just tell her I love her, and really that is what matters.

 

(Could someone tell me why when us guys have that sudden impulse when we see something nice like Flowers, or Chocalate, or Perfume and we buy it - with the best intention at heart, that when we get it home and say "Hi, Love you and got this for you" that the fairer sex ask "What you done wrong")

 

And of course if you dont buy anything on sudden impulses - then your guilty as well ????? (OK - Chocalate is fattening which means as thoughtful people we always help eat it!!)

 

Love is Blind,

Love is Great,

Love is full, of

Never ending Mysteries.

[+PengoFamily]

Thanks for the contest!! And all the entries too!

 

[+GATOULIS]

Hello once again!

 

I will post something that I found and s so beautiful!!!

I hope I translated it good! Sorry for any mistakes!

The original was in Greek language.

 

I do not know who wrote it, but I am sure the writer found love...true love!!!

Maybe we all wrote it! Not in a piece of paper, not in the net, but in our life!

It is writen in our childrens eyes! In their feelings for us!

 

I am not married...maybe one day I will be a father too!

 

 

WHY I LOVE YOU?

 

I love you because you inhabit in my soul.

I love you because your touch awaken my smile.

I love you because your Perfume drunked my body.

I love you because your whisper embraced my heart.

I love you because your voice, lull to sleep my fears.

I love you because your kiss colored my dreams.

I love you because your lips drunk my tears.

I love you because your hands caressing my dream.

I love you because your eyes smiled.

I love you because your name awaken my glance.

I love you because your memory helped me cross the ocean.

I love you because you are....YOU!!!

 

....

 

I hope you liked it!

 

Here in greece, there is a very old song that says...

 

I love you because you are beautiful

I love you because you are beautiful and because you are YOU

 

And I love the whole world

I love the whole world because you are living in it!!!

 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!!!

[+sweetlife]

Here is another one that my husband wrote to me.

 

 

 

 

I hear love . . . in your voice, when you speak or laugh or whisper . . . I see love . . . in your eyes, in your smile, in all you do . . . I feel love . . . in your touch, in its warmth and tenderness. Thank you for the beautiful gift of your love.

 

 

I LOVE YOU VALARIE

 

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

IT IS Valentines Day here So, have a Happy one ! ! ! Here's another very nice song:

 

Brandi Carlile The Story Lyrics

 

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything

When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true...I was made for you

 

I climbed across the mountain tops

Swam all across the ocean blue

I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules

But baby I broke them all for you

Because even when I was flat broke

You made me feel like a million bucks

Yeah you do and I was made for you

 

You see the smile that's on my mouth

Is hiding the words that don't come out

And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed

They don't know my head is a mess

No, they don't know who I really am

And they don't know what I've been through like you do

And I was made for you...

 

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything

When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true...I was made for you

 

Oh yeah, it's true... I was made for you.

[+mousekakat]

I think I want to call this one a Valentines day poem to yourself.... it has so much good advice about life and loving yourself in it I thought it would work in this thread!

 

It's the lyrics to a song by Point of Grace...

 

How You Live (turn Up The Music) - Point Of Grace

 

Verse 1:

Wake up to the sunlight

With your windows open

Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken

Wear your red dress

Use your good dishes

Make a big mess and make lots of wishes

Have what you want

But want what you have

And don't spend your life lookin' back

 

Chorus:

Turn up the music

Turn it up loud

Take a few chances

Let it all out

You won't regret it

Lookin' back from where you have been

Cuz it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

 

Verse 2:

So go to the ballgames

And go to the ballet

And go see your folks more than just on the holidays

Kiss all your children

Dance with your wife

Tell your husband you love him every night

Don't run from the truth

'Cause you can't get away

Just face it and you'll be okay

 

Chorus:

Turn up the music

Turn it up loud

Take a few chances

Let it all out

You won't regret it

Lookin' back from where you have been

'Cause it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

 

Bridge:

Oh wherever you are and wherever you've been

Now is the time to begin

 

Verse 3:

So give to the needy

And pray for the grieving

E'en when you don't think that you can

'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you

So think of your fellow man

Make peace with God and make peace with yourself

'Cause in the end there's nobody else

 

Chorus

Turn up the music

Turn it up loud

Take a few chances

Let it all out

'Cause you won't regret it

Lookin' back from where you have been

'Cause it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

 

'Cause it's not who you knew

And it's not what you did

It's how you live

 

You can hear it and see the video to it here

excerpt Fields Of Gold

 

(Sting)

 

You’ll remember me when the west wind moves

Among the fields of barley

You can tell the sun in his jealous sky

When we walked in fields of gold

 

So she took her love for to gaze a while

Among the fields of barley

In his arms she fell as her hair came down

Among the fields of gold

 

Will you stay with me will you be my love

Among the fields of barley

And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky

When we walked in fields of gold

 

I never made promises lightly

There have been some that I’ve broken

But I swear in the days still left

We’ll walk in fields of gold

We’ll walk in fields of gold

A Birthday

by Christina Rossetti

 

My heart is like a singing bird

Whose nest is in a water'd shoot;

My heart is like an apple-tree

Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit;

My heart is like a rainbow shell

That paddles in a halcyon sea;

My heart is gladder than all these,

Because my love is come to me.

 

Raise me a daïs of silk and down;

Hang it with vair and purple dyes;

Carve it in doves and pomegranates,

And peacocks with a hundred eyes;

Work it in gold and silver grapes,

In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;

Because the birthday of my life

Is come, my love is come to me.

 

It's called A Birthday but it talks about love.
