Posted: 11/16/2008 11:12:36 PM | More comedy attempts from the limited poet lol
it's ok to say it, we all know it.
more humor attempts about being off my face
yes as poetry this be a true disgrace.................
Alcohol how I miss you so
Im so sorry I had to let you go
you were really screwing with my head
so I took up pills instead
They are so much easier to take than you
too many of them though my life be through
but that is just the same as you
my life needed a change so gone was you too
I couldnt go to smoking dope
tests at work would hang me on a rope
then unemployed I would mope
so pills and tabs were my only hope
Alcohol I miss you oh so much
every woman had a magic touch
whether big or small or in between
too pissed to care if they turn mean
No need for a taxi when with you
I could piss in the gutter and swim
and so off my face while with you
I didn't want for a single thing
So remember me always please
for I try hard but remember little with you
don't dare think of who I was with
beer goggles was what I was looking through | |

Posted: 11/16/2008 11:47:04 PM | Memories Of A Love Lost
You forgot all the times I used to phone just to hear your voice.
You forgot all the times I used to stop just to hold you close.
You forgot all the little times I used to say 'I love you'.
You forgot all the times after love I used to keep you near.
You remembered when it was too late; we'd gone our separate ways.
Too late to retrace our steps to find what we had lost.
We are now friends though parting caused both pain.
We can now grow and be ourselves, so perhaps it’s best this way. | |

Posted: 11/17/2008 3:33:22 AM | Geeez . . haven't written a love letter in a long time.
I used to write them when I was in the Army and a long way from home, but I was young and thought I was in love at the time. Love letters went backwards and forwards like clockwork and I still have some of them. But in a lot of ways, I reckon the only thing I got from those letters was a feeling of longing and damp underwear.
I've had a bit of a go at some poetry in AD's thread but there needs to be something driving it for me. I can't just go and write stuff like some seem able to do. | |

Posted: 11/17/2008 3:38:36 AM | Without knowing the basis for the poem, that comment is made in ignorance.
My ex has seen the poem and acknowledges the truth behind it. I didn't want her to leave me and our children - she had a choice and chose to pursue a life with a Vietnam Veteran who replaced her brother after his death there.
We get on, we talk and occassionally, but unlike Ab Fab, I don't do Christmas with her and her partner of some years now. | |

Posted: 11/18/2008 1:12:17 AM | Aww SASS 21 I will put up a REAL ONE instead just to show you love still exists.
To the most beautiful girl in the world
I wish you all the best and more
I wish you eternal happiness
I wish for flowers to cover your floor
I wish for you to see the things you want
I wish you to go where you want to go
I wish a smile was always on your face
for when you smile your face does glow
If I was a genie in a bottle
I would give you 3 wishes then more
and hope when you have all you want
You will remember me some more.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I cannot show the rest
for you would know to who it was written
and I no longer feel for them
no longer am I smitten | |

Posted: 11/18/2008 2:35:45 AM | Does anyone write love letters anymore, or is it an art long ago thrown out the window of this speeding car life we now lead? Has anyone received or written a love letter lately...or perhaps saved one from years ago that still holds memories? And if you got one would you assume the author was a modern-day romantic, or would you start to wonder if they had a basement with hundreds of zoom lens pictures of you everywhere?
And for those who are fans of the love letter...
Are Hallmark cards an adequate substitute?
What about emails?
Surely the idea of a love-text would have Cupid cringing in a corner...or... maybe not?
Wondering what people's thoughts are on this.
(Topic courtesy of Naamah, a true forum star!)
Ahem guys.... You see the quote above?
It's the thread topic, and relates to Letters and Love.
Limericks, ditties and doggerel rhyme?
Amusing for children, but well off the topic sublime.
Creative Writing and Poetry is the place for this.
Do you feel confident? Think it's good? Don't mind them taking the p1ss?
Maybe not hey? Well, try Humour. It's all in fun, have a laugh, pass the time.
Check it out, there's a crowd over there and they all like jokes. Even in rhyme.

Posted: 11/18/2008 2:49:52 AM | | Faux Pa, if you want to write, then you have to read, see how the masters did it, see where the bad writers failed. Starting from an emotional kick start is how I feel many began, but after a while of practice you find it's the words you want to write that flow onto the paper as much as the words you need to write. | |

Posted: 11/18/2008 3:57:33 AM | expletivedeleted you are absolutley right. The last one was however, real at an earlier time in life and many a love letter is poetic.
I must apologise for my attempted humor. I was merely trying to make people smile a bit more here.
This is as you said it, not the place for it.
Cheers all | |

Posted: 11/19/2008 5:36:33 PM | I’ve got shoe boxes of love letters, mostly from my delinquent years. In fact, some are from friends that I still treasure. I cannot distinguish which are more important, love of the romance type or love of friendship. One particular shoe box holds my 21st birthday memories…it is full of love.
I do keep some of my emails now, saved to memory…not mine but the computer’s (this delinquent is losing memory with age lol)
I admit there is a special feeling I get when I hold a letter from the past, it’s not the same as reading an email…similar to my inability to read a novel on the computer…I need a book in my hand.
I wonder if it has anything to do with age…I still send a 21st birthday or children’s birthday cards (definitely hallmark ones that describe how I feel about that person) but rarely remember to send a friend a birthday card, maybe we just become lazy with old age? Or my personal frustration…I’ve still got 25 cent stamps in my desk and when I went to the post office the other day putting two of them on a letter was still not enough…I’m always a few sense short!!!
Hoppy makes light of what can make us withdrawn ... now I know what he got the knighthood for ... : )
and everyone else who has posted poetry in this thread…poetry is an art of communication, sadly not everyone enjoys poetry.
The closest to sending a love letter these days for me personally would be to acknowledge I really like you (after I had read something that you had posted in the forums) and adding you to my favourites, does not mean I want to sleep with you  | |

Posted: 11/20/2008 2:18:54 AM | I used to get great joy and feelings of slight smug satisfaction when I put little notes of love into the lunch box of my ex-boyfriend. Knowing that he would open his lunch, unwrap his sandwich and find my note made me feel so good because I wanted him to feel good and know that he mattered lots to me. Sometimes I used to cut out things from magazines like love hearts, and kisses and stuff like that (soft I know - but ah well) and even filled is lunch box with those metallic cut out things one day.
The small things in life give me the greatest of pleasures.

Posted: 11/20/2008 3:02:42 AM | I've kept all my love letters, they're both in a box under my bed.
Yeah, there's nothing as sweet as a love letter, unlike the spoken word you can read them over & over again & still get that warm, gooey, fuzzy feeling months or even years after they were written.
If I had to make lunch for my partner everyday, I would surprise her with a note too, a $5 note inside the lunchbox. Go buy ya fricken lunch. | |

I carved my name into my exe's forehead just before she left me.
You unromantic soul, you. Love letters should always be carved into the heart.
If you're quick enough, it's unlikely the cardiac surgeons will have time to do much.
I have always had a love affair...with words...so a love letter can work magic in my mind. But for me, nothing too flowery sounding, or so try-hard that it causes inward cringing. A love letter should convey emotion and passion, but should sound like the writer rather than being an attempt to become something on paper that they are not in person. And why do some think it has to rhyme to be worthy? Let words be placed for meaning rather than sound. | |

My wife used to do that. She also used to draw little carton characters and things so it read like a little comic...She was quite artistic......I used to really enjoy the little surprises. It is an awesome feeling when someone goes out of their way to do something to make you smile.
Thanks for the memory Howcanitbe...It brought a smile to me thinking about it | |

If you want to write poetry, there is an appropriate forum
If you want to chat - do it elsewhere, NOT here.

Posted: 11/21/2008 3:01:36 PM | I think it doesn't matter how clever you are in writing your letter to your loved one, as long as it comes from the heart. The idea or meaning of a love letter is simple, to express your feelings or love for that person.
People are losing the true meaning in everything these days, including Love. No wonder we are messed up as a society, nation & culture these days.
~*~*~A story we all have to speak, not a sonnet as some before us go, but worthy of voice, and listening - just the same. The art of speak has long but died, so there, must the art of hearing go with it?
If we do not hear and do not speak, how will we ever know love? We are numb, so do not sense, so where does the feeling go? We all portray a need from seed, some taketh to the grave, but nay, it should not be so.~*~*~ Ms Weeza

Posted: 11/21/2008 4:37:14 PM | I see some have written poems as a way of expressing their love.
I have some love letters here, but they are not poems, just words that were written to me from the heart.
To me, that's what a true love letter is.
I have asked permission of the person who wrote the letters to post on here as it's a personal thing but I think it's Ok to share.
She worked away from here, so we would have times of separation, sometimes for a couple of weeks at a time.
My sweetest #####
It’s 11pm on Wednesday night. I’m alone but not entirely so. I can’t begin to explain what you mean to me. When I had thought that the lights of love had all but been drenched in sorrow your light ignited the smallest of flames, which over such a short time, have grown to a huge burn and glow of love. I’m glad I didn’t lose that one glimmer of hope for you to ignite!!! I have never met anyone like you #### in all my days. Your charisma excites me, your determination inspires me and your passion fills my soul to overflowing. You are what beauty is about- Depth of person!! I long for you and think of you all the time. Your eyes I want to watch me, your arms I want to hold me, your voice I want to calm me, your words I want to soothe me, your mind I want to stimulate me, your body I want to please me and your soul I want to keep. Every phone call from you lights up my face, my fingers tingle and my heart melts. You may look at yourself or your life and say “so what”, but to me, “so what” is “so everything”. It’s everything good , warm and whole which is something I have never had. You are all to me that I am to you…..I miss you so much and count the days until we can be together again. I am indebted to you for finding this busted broken wench and piece by piece put her together again. As each piece joins another the soul gets bigger and the depth of my love for you grows ever greater. You are such a beautiful human being and I am so very much in love with you ####, so very much!!! Thinking of you often and long with all that I am. | |

Posted: 11/21/2008 4:44:41 PM | And the very next day
My sunshine, I had a thought. Every day, until I’m in your arms again I am going to send you my thoughts and feelings with all of my love!!!! I don’t think I will be able to find a card that could explain these feelings I have for you, I might look, but I doubt it! My world is so wonderful for you #### being in it! I can’t explain how you make me feel but only I feel so complete and so very happy! I sit in awe how our paths have crossed and how you just opened my eyes to all the great things in the world- your world and my world!!. I want to share my life with you, laugh with you, cry with you, touch you, caress you, feel you and love you for eternity. I ache for you every single minute and separation can’t make my heart grow fonder- I don’t think it could, there is no way I could feel more in love with you. Separation serves to remind me that I will be with you. Like saying goodbye means I can say hello and leaving means I can return and letting you go means I can hold you again. I’m so in love with you!! ####### | |

Posted: 11/21/2008 5:47:02 PM | WOW Briz!! Msg 108 & 109.
Now that is what this thread is really about.
Wow again! Those words are so powerful, yet... so gentle. The ability to express myself effectively has temporarily deserted me, I'll have to come back later, and try again. Thanks, to you, but especially to the author. | |

Posted: 11/23/2008 4:10:10 AM | Brizguy, you are indeed a lucky man to have received such beautiful love letters. Whether or not you ever have another love like that again (and I hope you do), at least you have those wonderful memories.
Gives the rest of us some hope that us old farts can have another chance at that love too! | |
|
| Love Letters
Posted: 11/23/2008 6:18:13 PM | | This lovely thread brought back good memories. I had read some letters of 'his' and after Briz's post I read them again. You know it's all from the heart, they love you and you love them back. | |

Posted: 11/25/2008 10:08:54 PM | Love letters straight from your heart
keep us so near while apart.
I'm not alone in the night
when I can have all the love you write.
I memorize every line
and I kiss the name that you sign
and then darling, then
I read again right from the start.
Love letters straight from your heart.
(Written by: V. Jeffrey Lord, Peter Smith & Alistair Tennant)

Posted: 12/3/2008 1:01:58 AM | What if the love letter you read is not from your man but from a women to him. Saying that they have this wonderful connection that not even I can come between. Or that when we are all together at a function that she writes she couldn,t take her eyes off him and wanted him to take her there and then.
Do you confront him? Do you confront her? Cause you know they will both deny it but it was written by her in black and white for all to see | |

Posted: 12/30/2008 6:40:56 AM | | Yes people do have love letters and still write them. I have an entire tin full of them that i have kept but havnt read them in years. Although "he" no longer exists, iam not quite sure why ive not yet thrown them! | |
