1. In Quiet Times
In quiet time, when day is done,
] rest my head for sleep to come,
As peace steals o'er my restless mind,
My memories your face will find,
To love at a distance can be torturous, as you always desire closeness to your beloved. But closeness and distance are not only physical definitions of space but also how we understand our heart. So while the physical distance between us may be great, that space may always be small within the heart. Holding close to the ones we love and trusting in that steadfastness can calm our hearts and soothe our minds no matter how far the physical distance between us. While loving another from far away may be difficult, faith in our love may keep us strong.
In quiet time, when day is done,
] rest my head for sleep to come,
As peace steals o'er my restless mind,
My memories your face will find,
A lovely poem - my husband was also a soldier, but I didn't receive any beautiful poems like that when he was away!

that your love is still true,
that the distance between us
hasn't worn out our glue,

There on the streets of Manhattan
Beneath the cold neon light
You were the soul of my affections
And all with the world seemed right
Pat, I was absolutely thrilled to read your comment. Such a compliment from a poet with your talent is far more than I could have ever hoped for. It is so very good to know that you are...
When I miss you,
I seek solace in my heart and soul
For in its depths, your essence I know.
Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated!
You were like the sun who brought light
Into my cold, dark, and lifeless night.
You made me realize that no matter what I do,
My life will always revolve around you.
The elements of nature are beautifully used to express the feelings of the poet.
You're what Christmas means to me
you're the bright lights that sparkle,
On my Christmas tree,
You're the soft snowflakes
In the calmness. In the stillness. In the silence I awake,
Waiting in great patience for the egg of dawn to break.
For hair is golden thread woven from my golden harp.
If I could catch a rainbow,
I'd do so just for you
So you could share its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
Words simply can't describe
My feelings for you,
For my feelings are so many,
But words, they are so few.
I'm online dating this really sweet, kind, handsome, protective guy. I've been dating him since October 17, 2019, and like my grandfather told me and my sister if a man doesn't treat you like...
If wishing were reality, then back in time we'd be,
To when we were children: happy and carefree.
If life could be that simple, how happy I would be.
You always were my special friend.
You wrote a beautiful poem. I met a girl as I started dating again after 2 years. When I met her, I never felt like strangers, and thanks to your poem, I can tell her now.
I wait aimlessly for your arrival
Just to see your smile
To hold you in my arms
To keep you from the world's harm
I wish I could capture this moment forever
not with a camera but something far better
something that would enable me to remember how you taste
Stare at me
Every time you look at me. I can't help stare at my feet
Because I can't see the way you see me.
The love in your eyes came with much surprise,
The love in your laughter I...
He says he's leaving.
He'll be gone about a year.
He's headed off to fight the war,
And his time is drawing near.
My fiancee is in the Air Force (pilot), currently in Israel. He was supposed to come home in April, after being there a year. But he was offered a promotion last minute. He decided to take it...
The light is shining oh so bright
The light you brought into my life
I have searched so high and low
For my special glow
How did this happen I continue to ask?
As I get online waiting for time to pass
You are now fast asleep half a world away
This distance is nothing, I mumble away
I'm in the same situation. I live in Oregon and he lives in England. I can relate to the poem so much it hurts. I want to see him so much, but we both come from poor families that can't...
Though at the moment
we are poles apart
in my thoughts, in my actions
you are in my heart...
My heart is set on that glorious day
When your work is done and you're home to stay.
I'll be waiting right here, with open arms.
To hold you close and keep you warm.
I am in a long distance relationship and these words were soothing. I knew I wasn't alone and my boo is soon visiting sooo..they were timely. I can't wait to hug him tight.
I see you in my thoughts and dreams.
When I awake, how real it seems.
You aren't here to comfort me,
But soon I hope you will be.
Same story dear, but my husband case 31 years ago. He's still in jail. DA can't show any evidence, but yet my husband is still in jail. I'm in shocked badly. My weight went down 20 pounds...
Today my heart is aching
For a man that's far away.
I would give anything to hold him,
And any ransom I would pay.
I love this poem. I've been in a relationship with a soldier for two months now. He was deployed the day after our relationship started, but it feels like I've known him forever. Never kissed...
I am giving you this ring as a promise to you
That no matter what, I will always be here and I will always be true.
I promise that I will lie with you and hold you at night
I have this beautiful person in my life who never wipes my tears, rather he will start crying with me. Whenever I have fallen over he will also fall with me but will never pick me up. At...
