Puppy Love

Sometimes I wonder,
as I sit all alone;
how I can love you
in ways never shown.

To tell you the secrets
I long to share.
To hold you and tell you
how much I care.

When I am with you
the words pass me by.
My heart is a flutter
I feel I could fly.

My life is renewed.
My heart overjoyed.
I am your captive,
love your reward.

I promise not to run.
I promise not to flee.
For I am my happiest
when I am with thee.

I give my life to you,
do with it as you will.
Love is my nourishment,
my heart you have filled.

I often wonder,
if I deserve you.
Your beauty so great.
Your love so true.

Your eyes tell the story,
the one of true love.
You must have been sent
from Heaven above.

Your lips are as roses.
Your eyes as the stars.
So I pray desperately
that love will be ours.

I unlock my heart
and give you the key.
This love we'll share always
between you and me.

Author's Note

This poem was written when I was eighteen and as such expresses a very adolescent view of love. I have made minor corrections to this work, but left the rest intentionally to preserve the integrity of the piece. Thank you for reading my work.

Memory lane oh memory lane - here I am again ...

How many poems did I write too in an equal fashion ... Mmmmm ... Youth is such a wonderful time and you captured it marvelously. The poem has a very well flowing rhythm and it's simply beautiful! Well done!

aahhh! I got that - the feeling of youth. Very well done nonetheless. Really. "When I am with you..." was my fav. stanza. "overjoyed" to "reward" could be a better rhyme and "heaven above" is kinda cliche, but you probably know that. I was surprised by the not being able to share the love. I always thought of puppy love as being mutual... as in the very beginning of a relationship, so I really like this concept of it. Very sweet.. the sweetness of youth. Oh and I like the minor archaic elements (thee.. like roses, etc.). To your young poet self; good write!
