Typical Romance Poem

Funny story behind the origins of this one...

Is there nothing you could do
To amaze me so completely?
Everytime I see your face
My heart is captured once again,
Just as your name
Whispered on my lips
Feels like a soft
Lover's tender kiss.
Never go away from me
For without you I'd be left bare.
Let me gaze into those eyes
For the rest of eternity.
I'll be the man
Who keeps your heart safe,
I'll spend my life
With you, my soul-mate.

Author's Note

A buddy up here in WA said he wanted to impress some gal he liked, didn't know how to do it. So, I told him to describe how he felt for her, and I wrote this while he did, we have yet to see if it worked or not. Still can't get over his expression when I handed this to him to use haha.

Nice poem it sounded sincere. I love romance. Too bad this one your buddy gets to use instead of you. That reminds me of the Steve martin movie Roxanne. He plays a fire chief in a small town. All is well for "Charlie" except his huge nose. It causes him endless persectution and heart ache. He then falls madly in love with a woman aka Roxanne. She likes another fireman on his crew. He being the gentlemen that he is and wanting Roxanne to be happy, Charlie rights letters for the dumb fireman and helps him win Roxanne's heart. He even goes as far as to hide in the bushes at her house and whisper to the moron what to say to her. Well anyways I am sure you can see the similarity lol. Good poem friend. God bless!

I would say that the title of this poem is quite accurate.

Haha, funny origins, but great poem!
Indeed, it's a typical love poem but with a unique style & lots of skill.
Well written, I enjoyed it.
The ending four lines were definitely the highlight of the poem for me.

Wow, John, what a story. When it comes to writing about a loved one I go blank, its like nothing, no words match the way I feel. I would probably have to get someone to write a piece for me too- Strange isn't it?

Well Mr. Romantic- I know where to come when I fall in love : )
