Because I am such a girl, I love poetry. I'm not very good at it myself but I just love reading it and admiring it. You're more than welcome to comment on it and everything I just figured I should share my treasures(:

Have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain: I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils, Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.
I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of the sea, And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails of ships; But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips.
B E AUT Y John Masefield
If questioning would make us wise No eyes would ever gaze in eyes; If all our tale were told in speech No mouths would wander each to each.
Were spirits free from mortal mesh And love not bound in hearts of flesh No aching breasts would yearn to meet And find their ecstasy complete.
For who is there that lives and knows The secret powers by which he grows? Were knowledge all, what were our need To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?.
Then seek not, sweet, the "If" and "Why" I love you now until I die. For I must love because I live And life in me is what you give.
Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her Christopher Brennan
O my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June; O my Luve's like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry:
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun; I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve, And fare thee weel awhile! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.
ARed Red Rose Robert Burns
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms, Which I gaze on so fondly today, Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms, Like fairy-gifts fading away, Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art, Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still.
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tearThat the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,To which time will but make thee more dear;No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,But as truly loves on to the close,As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets,The same look which she turned when he rose.Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young CharmsThomas Moore
