Short Love Poems

The One I Love
Poet: Kelsie Hooton, © 2007

Within your arms, I'm sure no harm can be done.
The brick wall that stands
when I'm at home and school is taken down.

Your soft hands run down my back.
Today you gave me 6 different colored roses.
Each color is a symbol of the different ways you love me.

Rose #1 was a rarely seen blue rose.
Blue as in the color of my eyes.
Rose #2 and #3 was yellow and orange,
for the colors of the sunset on our first meeting.

Rose #4 was pink.
For the color of my lips when you kiss them.

Rose #5 was white,
for the color of my dress the night of your prom.

And the last rose was red.
But, this one was fake.
You said that red was for my love for you.

I look at you and ask why is it fake. You responded,
I will love you till the last one dies.



"We do not love people because they are beautiful, but because they seem beautiful to us because we love them."
Russian Proverb
"Love is the cause and
result of energy."
Greg Henry Quinn


The Hands of The Man That I Once Loved
Poet: K. Hooton, © 2005

Although it was
his eyes that drew me close and
his lips that devoured every strand of
strength within me and
his voice that calmed my fears
It was his hands
I loved the most.

So strong and powerful,
always warm and soft,
the hands that held me when I was sick,
the hands that calmed my anger,
but never dried my teary eyes
after they pushed me away,
the hands that waved good bye
when it had just began.

Although it was
his hands I loved the most,
they were not the hands
of the man that I once loved,
But the hands of a boy
too weak to catch me.


"And each time I whisper 'I love you,' I'm trying to remind you that you're the nicest thing that has ever happened to me."
Douglas Pagels



Someone Like You
Poet: K. Hooton, © 2005

I feel I'm searching
Looking always for someone,
someone to love,
someone who loves me back,
someone who wants to be with the real me,
the me that no one but he will know,
someone who will allow me to know him,
someone who calls just to say hello,
someone to comfort and to hold,
someone who respects and cares for me,
someone who will tell me when something is bothering him,
someone that can make me laugh even on the worst of days,
someone who's face lights up every time I enter the room,
someone like you.

Just Not The Same
By K. Hooton, © 2005

It feels like such a long time
Since we've been together.
The many memories
I will forever treasure.

Now there are times
We cry together.
I liked the ones
we laughed much better.

The times we fought
who loved who more.
But at least then
we knew we loved for sure.



"Love is something that flows out of our deep sense of loving ourselves. It is not possible to love another if we don't know and love ourselves."
Anne Wilson Schaef

"When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way . . .
And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. . .
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
