HOW could I love you more?
I would give up
Even that beauty I have loved too well
That I might love you better.
Alas, how poor the gifts that lovers give
I can but give you of my flesh and strength,
I can but give you these few passing days
And passionate words that, since our speech began,
All lovers whisper in all ladies' ears.

I try to think of some one lovely gift
No lover yet in all the world has found;
I think: If the cold sombre gods
Were hot with love as I am
Could they not endow you with a star
And fix bright youth for ever in your limbs?
Could they not give you all things that I lack?

You should have loved a god; I am but dust.
Yet no god loves as loves this poor frail dust.


That's the one that won my Lady for me

Sorry forgot to put author unknown.

There was two of us chasing the same Lady.
So I had to try my "cock a doodle do bit"
a faint heart etc.

This is an incredible poem. What a shame the author is unknown

I printed it out like the photo on an A3 sheet, then laminated it, Folded it into a cone shape and sellotaped it so it stayed as a cone. Then put a dozen minature red roses in the cone surrounded by hand made chocolates. I Memorised the poem and when I presented her with my gift, I read the poem to her. (oh dear I'm filling up now). and asked her to be my Lady.
Ahh memories, If only I'd known what I let myself in for. lol (only joking,I love her really).
