1. Searching for you

That first love…maybe

That first time when you’re young and you see a girl

Her beauty overwhelms you, and it hurts like hell

She’s so beautiful in your eyes

You steal glances, you’re magnetized

Wait till she’s not looking, looking away now

That innocent smile, oh my God, wow!

Do you dare talk to her? What do you say?

Go on, take your chance, maybe today?

He he hello how are you is what you could say?

But how would she react, would she stay?

Your eternal shyness is getting to you

Come on, just once, try and follow through

That first magical love could be right now

If you don’t try once, you’ll never know how.

1. Searching for you

A teenage love

.

A teenage love

When I was young

I dated you

It was for fun

I was seventeen

Working too

You was fourteen

I didn’t know what to do

Friends can be cruel

And they got to me

Their taunts echoed

And we wasn’t to be

I split us up

I broke your heart

For those other people

It made them laugh

I regretted much

Of what I had done

You didn’t deserve

What had become

Years later we met

I made my peace

I showed you my poems

Which had set me free

You was cold

That I deserved

For all I had done

You didn’t accept a word

You walked out that day

You was right

You went out that door

And out of my life

That’s what you get

Peer pressure thump

Agony gets better

Face it, I was a chump

1. Searching for you

The one that got away

What’s in the box?

My recollections of you

Tears and sadness

Memories too

The days that passed

Daydreaming in the clouds

Dancing freely

You were my wow

You slipped through my fingers

My biggest mistake

I made my choices

Now it’s too late

My life in darkness

Regrets eat my soul

The day you left

Lost in a black hole

You thought only about you

For every little thing

That was your song

What you would always sing

I loved you

My heart always will

Torn out and crushed

So many tears spilt

The one that got away

You selfish inconsiderate one

Lessons learnt, scars for life

Even if I was just some fun

1. Searching for you

My love for you

Stay in my arms forever and a day

Never leave me, never go away

Melt away, breathe my air

Closer now, I can smell your hair

Kiss me with your soft velvet lips

Closer to me with those goddess hips

Lose ourselves in our lovers embrace

Caressing your cheek, your pretty face

I stare into your beautiful eyes

Your crystal gaze leaves me hypnotized

Forever in your magnetic pull

Your skin so soft just like wool

Your beauty makes me want to melt away

My love for you now and every day

1. Searching for you

Beautiful moon

Why would you watch me?

I know you better than most

Although everyone gazes at you

I will not be thrown

We have had many a moment

Just you and I

Your beauty overwhelms me

Brings tears to my eyes

You can be blinding

As you light the path ahead

There is nowhere else to be

Nowhere else instead

As the stars vie for your attention

Flashing bright and true

You stare right through them

As constantly you do

Will you love me forever?

If I never look away

Tell me you’ll never leave me

And that you’ll always stay

Poem from my latest love poetry book searching for you

1. Searching for you · love

We hardly kiss goodbye

Talk to me softly

I can’t remember the last time

We had an intimate moment

Or shared a bottle of wine

To smile and laugh together

To hang on each other’s word

All this wanting

May seem to be absurd

We just need a little attention

To spark the match again

To go back to like before

When we were still friends

But all that being lost now

As we hardly kiss goodbye

All the time thinking

Why it is like this? Why?
