Love Poem

Ricardo Saúl LaRosa

I pass by you everyday,

As I do my heart explodes,

With feelings I have never felt before,

I am mesmerized by you,

I would like to tell you that I am very attracted to you,

I would like for us to get to know each other,

But I do not have the courage to tell you face to face,

For I am shy,

This feeling inside is tormenting me,

Sleepless nights thinking of you,

This madness can not continue,

Thus, I am writing you this love poem,

Accompanying with these roses that I picked,

From a rich man’s garden…

Even though I have never tasted your tender lips,

I know that they are the sweetest in Love’s creation,

For I have kissed them a thousand times,

In my mind,

Even though I have never touched your skin,

I know it is softer than silk,

For I have touched you a thousand times,

In my heart,
Even though I have never held you in my arms,
I know that you are amazing to embrace,

For I have held you in my arms a thousand times,

In my soul,

Even though I have never conversed with you,

I know that you are wonderful to talk with,

For I have spoken with you a thousand times,

In my spirit,

My shyness ends now in this poem!

For I must tell you what I feel in my heart,

I am not asking you to fall in love with me,

I only asking for a chance to converse with you,

For us to get to know one another,

Gently and tenderly,

I may assure you sweetness,

That my intentions are honorable,

I have placed my heart on the line,

For you to notice me,

I have done so with honor,

And a longing that comes from a sincere heart,

I ask for your presence tomorrow at noon,

In the park, at the rose garden, by the statue of Venus,

I await for you love’s sweetness sweet,

With open arms and a willing heart…
