  1. For Annie by Edgar Allan Poe



    THANK Heaven! the crisis—

      The danger is past,

    And the lingering illness

      Is over at last—

    And the fever called 'Living'          5

      Is conquer'd at last.



    Sadly, I know

      I am shorn of my strength,

    And no muscle I move

      As I lie at full length:   10

    But no matter—I feel

      I am better at length.



    And I rest so composedly

      Now, in my bed,

    That any beholder   15

      Might fancy me dead—

    Might start at beholding me,

      Thinking me dead.



    The moaning and groaning,

      The sighing and sobbing,   20

    Are quieted now,

      With that horrible throbbing

    At heart—ah, that horrible,

      Horrible throbbing!



    The sickness—the nausea—   25

      The pitiless pain—

    Have ceased, with the fever

      That madden'd my brain—

    With the fever called 'Living'

      That burn'd in my brain.   30



    And O! of all tortures

      That torture the worst

    Has abated—the terrible

      Torture of thirst

    For the naphthaline river   35

      Of Passion accurst—

    I have drunk of a water

      That quenches all thirst.



    —Of a water that flows,

      With a lullaby sound,   40

    From a spring but a very few

      Feet under ground—

    From a cavern not very far

      Down under ground.



    And ah! let it never   45

      Be foolishly said

    That my room it is gloomy,

      And narrow my bed;

    For man never slept

      In a different bed—   50

    And, to sleep, you must slumber

      In just such a bed.



    My tantalized spirit

      Here blandly reposes,

    Forgetting, or never   55

      Regretting its roses—

    Its old agitations

      Of myrtles and roses:



    For now, while so quietly

      Lying, it fancies   60

    A holier odour

      About it, of pansies—

    A rosemary odour,

      Commingled with pansies—

    With rue and the beautiful   65

      Puritan pansies.



    And so it lies happily,

      Bathing in many

    A dream of the truth

      And the beauty of Annie—   70

    Drown'd in a bath

      Of the tresses of Annie.



    She tenderly kiss'd me,

      She fondly caress'd,

    And then I fell gently   75

      To sleep on her breast—

    Deeply to sleep

      From the heaven of her breast.



    When the light was extinguish'd,

      She cover'd me warm,   80

    And she pray'd to the angels

      To keep me from harm—

    To the queen of the angels

      To shield me from harm.



    And I lie so composedly,   85

      Now, in my bed

    (Knowing her love),

      That you fancy me dead—

    And I rest so contentedly,

      Now, in my bed   90

    (With her love at my breast),

      That you fancy me dead—

    That you shudder to look at me,

      Thinking me dead.



    But my heart it is brighter   95

      Than all of the many

    Stars in the sky,

      For it sparkles with Annie—

    It glows with the light

      Of the love of my Annie— 100

    With the thought of the light

      Of the eyes of my Annie.


  2. I honestly dont know much about poems...

    But i personally like the love poems i write :)

  3. I have always loved William Shakespeare's lines from Hamlet, in which Hamlet writes to Ophelia:

    'Doubt thou the stars are fire;

    Doubt that the sun doth move;

    Doubt truth to be a liar;

    But never doubt I love.

    'O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers; I have not art to

    reckon my groans: but that I love thee best, O most best, believe

    it.Adieu.

    'Thine evermore, most dear lady, whilst this machine is to him,

    HAMLET.'


  4. Well, I like a lot of love poems but I have to say I enjoy my own the best. Just because it describes how I feel and when I reread it, it's describing how I feel. Might be silly but who knows. Here's one of them. It's called, 'Forever In Us.'

    pulse racing.

    pounding. (hear it?)

    sweat running.

    trembling. (feel it?)

    Sweet scent. went. (lovliness)

        forever in me

    Face. trace. (memory)

        forever in me

    Voice. a choice. (i love you)

        forever in me

    Lips. imprint. (together)

        forever in me

    Soft. aloft. (serenity)

        forever in me

    Remember.

    No.

    Forever. Together.
