Valentine Poems
A collection of valentines poems for that most romantic of days, the feast of St. Valentine. There are poems of romance and of true love, poems for those in relationships and those in search of love, and to conclude a couple of poems about the sadness of celebrating valentines day when loved-ones have departed. For readers who do not buy into the whole valentines thing, Peculiar Poetry's section of funny valentine poems may help to deflate the hype surrounding this feast of romance and rampant commercialism.
Keepsake
Heartfelt, romantic, tender... It would be tempting (and wrong) to pop it in a valentines card and pretend you wrote it yourself. Wrong, but forgivable!
I Am Definitely Ready To Say It
Making a declaration of your love to one you admire can be daunting, but this young man finds his tongue tied attempts are met by a sympathtic ear.
A Perfect Day
Short and to the point, A Perfect Day describes the harmony that exists between couples who live in a state of romantic equilibrium.
Sweet Love Song
Sweet but not saccharine, a romantic poem to quicken the pulse and lighten the heart.
You Are My Angel
A suitably impenetrable poem in which the angel is of ambiguous form, neither wholly heavenly or earthly.
Sweet Lyrics Of Affection
A heart is won over by the gentle caress of the whispered words of love.

When Did Acquaintance
We all accept that there are landmarks which mark the progression of a relationship, but can we identify the moment when we make the dramatic leap from acquaintance to friendship, or from affection to love.

Was It Destiny?
Does anything really happen by chance? Or is some unseen hand steering us into the path of love?
More Than Ever Now
The repeated titular refrain reminds us of romance that grows and blossoms as a relationship develops.
As We Lay Under The Stars
A slightly more sensual offering which relies on allusion to conjure up a sexual ambiguity.
If Only You Were Here
