Lol, me wearing my cute “Valentine Bunny Ears” a few years ago.

The 14th February is fast approaching. I have not made any definite plans for this Valentines Day. However, I would admit to being a hopeless romantic.

I love romance. Here are a few tantalising and romantic poems to get you in the mood for Valentines Day:

________________________
If love had a sound,
it would be your name
spoken softly
at the end of a long day.
If love had a place,
it would be the space
between your heartbeat and mine,
where the world finally rests.

______________________

I don’t want you politely.
I want you like fire wants air,
like night wants the moon
close enough to touch.
I want the ache,
the pull,
the way my name sounds different
when it’s on your lips.

________________________

Come closer.
Close enough
that my thoughts blur,
that desire speaks first
and reason never gets a turn.
Kiss me
like this moment
is the only one
that matters.

_______________________

Stand that close again
and tell me you don’t feel it—
the heat rising,
the way restraint trembles
between us.
I want your mouth
hovering just long enough
to be cruel,
just close enough
to drive me wild.

_______________________

I want you slowly—
the kind of slow
that hurts in the best way.
Eyes lingering,
breaths colliding,
every second stretching
until wanting you
is louder than thought.
This is the fire
that doesn’t rush.
It consumes.

______________________

Take your time with me.
I want the unhurried version of you—
the one who knows
desire ripens best
when touched slowly.
Let minutes melt,
let anticipation do the work,
until wanting becomes
a soft, exquisite ache.

_______________________

Your voice finds me
in the quiet places,
low, careful,
as if my heart
might bruise if spoken to loudly.
I hold every word
like it’s meant
only for me.
