Peter Stavropoulos

Love was.....

When 'if' lay between you and I
And 'never' seemed forever
...

What's a friendship? My Love.
It's when you promise me your company
And keep your promise.
It's when we joke about each other
...

How could fate have separated us?
I think of you and miss you.

I think of your warm and inviting smile
...

I have not forgotten you
For you have given me
Each blessed memory
...

Let us begin here
With a sentence
And the sentence is love.
...

I Thought about you
And lost my memory
In time
I could not remember
...

Beauty lies
Within your eyes
I can't speak
Of what I seek
...

Doesn't it change
The course we've taken
If I say
I Love you?
...

Emptiness means little without you
Words alone cannot equal two
You meant little to me before we met
The world alone closed every sunset
...

In the everlasting fragrance
Of the sound
Of your love
...

You are life and love and more.

You are earth and fire and more.
...

Wish upon
Another's heart
Let her be happy
Let her be strong
...

Pure Love knows no rhythm no rhyme
It will always be the curve of your back
How you look at me innocent and out of time
Full of Love for what I lack
...

Each chance
A new belief
Something new
A heart's relief
...

...

The education of the young mind
Took place
Behind closed doors
Because that mind -
...

Her hand is as soft as my touch
Her lips are as red as my heart
Nothing can compare as much
Pleasure for pleasure will surely start
...

Prepared to ridicule himself, this fool
Is guarded against the jibes
Of those he thinks less inclined to self-criticism.
How then is he to gauge his faults
...

Forever and forever
And always
Nothing can change
What's gone before
...

Not waiting to be hurt again
I hurt myself
In the most unjust way.
...
