Romantic Poems 2
A further selection of Paul Curtis's romantic poems, which focus on love as emotional rollercoaster ride.
Beneath The Weeping Willow Tree
A poem of clandestine meetings and true love across the divide.
Breath Of Spring
A romantic love poem which is beguilingly multi-layered, which is a polite way of saying you’ll enjoy the poem, without necessarily understanding it.
Dreaming Of You
A much less opaque narrative romantic poem in which the protagonist looks forward to the return of his absent lover.
I Thought My Heart Was Broken
A possible contender for the sad love poetry category, I Thought My Heart was Broken is in fact an uplifting poem about things turning out better the second time around.
Love, Love, Love
A romantic poem about the fulfilment that love can bring to an otherwise empty life.
In Sunshine Or In Shadow
Another sweet, some might think sickly sweet, romantic poem. If you’re browsing through the site while devouring a box of chocolates, you should now be about half way through the bottom layer. Beware the pentagonal chocolate wrapped in mauve foil; it’ll be either coconut or a violet cream.
Is It You?
A poem which asks the eternal question ‘Are you the one?’ Is it You? contains some quite alarming sexual allusions ‘Or will you be another square peg, In my round hole?’, but perhaps I’m reading too much into it. (By this stage, you’ll have grasped that the person who writes the introduction to the poems isn’t always the same person who writes the poems AND be toying with eating the stray purple pentagonal chocolate. Don't, it's poisonous – Ed).
No More Monochrome
A uplifting romantic poem in which a man describes how his life has been transmogrified by the experience of falling in love.
Love's Metaphor Revisited
I appear to have misplaced the original version of Love’s Metaphor, but the revisited version is a romantic poem overflowing with the an abundance of metaphors which should win it a place in the hearts of all over-enthusiastic but under-achieving English teachers.
Thank You Elizabeth
A poetic homage to Elizabeth Barret Browning's iconic poem, How Do I Love Thee?
