  1. Where Is Mr. Right?

    Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011

    The night feels endless,
    The stars softly gleam.
    I sit here reflecting,
    On love, on a dream.

    Friends surround me,
    And strangers pass by.
    But then I glimpse you,
    And time seems to fly.

    Your eyes, they find mine,
    A spark I can't miss.
    A warmth fills my heart,
    In a moment like this.

    I long to say something,
    Yet words slip away.
    Perhaps destiny waits -
    We'll meet again one day.



  2. Searching for Love

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    I search for love, my heart feels the ache,
    Longing for a bond that time cannot break.
    The days may be lonely, the nights feel long,
    But I hold to hope, steady and strong.

    Love may not come in the way I expect,
    But I trust in life’s plan, it will connect.
    Each step I take, I’ll hold my head high,
    Knowing love’s out there, waiting nearby.

  4. True & Patient

    Poet: William Dunbak

    If ye would love and loved be,
    In mind keep well these things three.

  5. The Path to Love

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    The journey's long, the road feels steep,
    At times, I’ve stumbled, even weeped.
    The search for love, not always clear,
    Brings moments of doubt, and whispers of fear.

    But each setback taught, each trial made me grow,
    Through heartache and waiting, there’s much to know.
    Love’s not a race, it takes its own time,
    To weave its beauty, to create its rhyme.

    So I hold to hope, and I walk with grace,
    Trusting love will find its rightful place.
    For through the challenges, I’ve come to see,
    The best kind of love is waiting for me.




  6. Love's Hope

    Poet: Arthur Franklin Fuller

    Yes, somewhere in this cold and selfish world,
    A heart o'erflows with love and sympathy -
    Soft lips my lingering kisses now await,
    And clinging arms would open e'en to me;
    Though Stygian darkness rises as a wall,
    And Fate has robbed of every helpful thing,
    I'll launch my cry - "Sweetheart!" - God speed the call:
    And may today my living Answer bring.

    I scan each passing face with anxious eye,
    Reach out my hands at every spark of hope,
    And yearn for her who will not pass me by -
    He makes mistakes who must in darkness grope!
    I haven't much to offer to you dear, "
    Just love and home - appreciation due -
    Who'll say, "He gives enough who gives his all" -
    I need her now - sweet lady, is it YOU?




  7. My Mate

    Poet: Guy Innes

    In dreams we meet, though dreams be few
    Wherein your voice is clear;
    Awake, I go companionless
    Down crowded roads in loneliness
    Austere;
    And yet, have I not longed for you.
    My dear......

  9. Now We Are Young

    Poet: Unknown

    Now we are young and gay;
    All distant seems December,
    In this our life's young May.
    Now in our upward journey
    May true love make us brave,
    We'll fret not for the morrow,
    We'll reck not of the grave;
    "Thank God for all the sweet days,"
    We'll whisper while we may,
    And wish for nothing better -
    While we are young and gay.




  10. Love’s Journey

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Heartbreak may sting, rejection may bruise,
    But giving up is a path I won’t choose.
    For every setback, a lesson is found,
    A chance to grow, to stand my ground.

    Love’s not a race, it’s a winding way,
    With patience and faith, I face each day.
    The obstacles teach, the trials refine,
    And someday, true love will surely be mine.



  11. Believe in Love

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Heartbreak may linger, its shadow may stay,
    But love has a way of finding its way.
    In moments unseen, in places unplanned,
    Love can surprise, a gentle hand.

    Don’t lose your hope, don’t let it fade,
    For every heartache, a strength is made.
    Patience and faith will guide you through,
    Bringing a love that’s honest and true.

    The journey is long, but don’t despair,
    Love often blooms when least aware.
    So hold to belief, keep walking your stride,
    For love will come, with joy by your side.
