A trilogy of Decastich Love Poems

If Only ….Too Shy To Tell (#1)

If I told you that I loved you,

You’d probably start to cry,

If I told you that I needed you,

Would you think it was a lie,

So I’ll just keep on admiring you,

Because I’m too shy to try,

I’ll just go on dreaming,

Until the day I die,

To tell you how much I love you,

And explain the reasons why.

50 Shades of Love — Just For You (#2)

Words are hollow,

If we don’t know what they mean.

Actions can be shallow.

Thoughts are just emotions,

Traveling through our mind.

But love, now that is special,

Transcends all matters of time.

So when I say I love you,

Words, actions, thoughts -

They are all for you.

💟💟💗💗💟💟

More Than Just One Day — Immeasurable love (#3)

I need more than just one single day,

To tell you how I feel.

My love is deeper than the deepest ocean,

Higher than the highest hill.

Bigger than all the sky you see,

You are my lover, everything to me.

All my love is reserved for you,

Kept safe inside my heart,

It’s yours and only yours,

To do with as you will.

💟💟💗💗💟💟

[Author’s note: A ten-line poem is often referred to as a Decastich poem. This term is used to describe any poem consisting of exactly ten lines, regardless of the specific form or structure used within those lines.

The three poems were originally published earlier this year as shorter separate poems. They have been expanded and combined in the new format to tell the story of how love can develop from a timid encounter, to an awakening of feelings and mature into something lasting.]

Till next time,
