Seriously, I can't see how anybody could dislike valediction, forbidding morning. That poem is sooooooOOOOooo romantic. If some chick wrote that for me, you would see me melt as I read it..

Theory of a Deadman-Make up your mind
(it's just a real good song) Make up your mind and I'll make up mine Don't worry about me, I'll be fine Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening? I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking I'll sit back and relax and wait for the morning We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time Make up your mind and I'll make up mine Don't worry about me, I'll be fine The last time you yelled at me I swore that I heard you say I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking I'l sit back and relax and wait for the morning We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time When will we make up, will we break up? Let's wake up, let's wake up, let's wake up Make up your mind and I'll make up mine Don't worry about me, I'll be fine Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening? I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time Let's wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds Let's wake up, let's make up

"Love story"
It was easy to see what he was up to, the grey, bundled ape, as he sidled half-playfully up to the baby and with a sly look behind put his hands onto the crib and leapt in. The child's pink, beginning face stared up as the hair-handed monkey explord the flesh, so soft, of our infant race. The belly spread like plush to the monkey's haunch, he settled, heavy and gay, his nuzzling mouth at the baby's neck. But no answer accurate to a smile, he bit, tasted time, maddened, and his nails rooted sudden fire in the ribs of Adam, towered, carnivorous, for aim and baby face, ears, arm were torn and taken in his ravaging. And so the killing, too-late parents came, hysteric, after their child's futile pulse had stopped its beating. Only the half-pathetic, half-triumphant monkey peered out form the crib, bobbed nervously on the dead infant's belly, then stopped, suddenly paralyzed on that soft tomb. Was it the donkey Death brayed out at him from the human mother's eyes, or did his love for her in that pause consume him? The jealous ape's death was swift and of natural cause. 'Died of shame,' some said, others, 'of shock.' But his death was Othello's death, as great, as picayune, he died of envy, lacking the knack of wisdom. -Phyllis Webb out of a whole course this was one of the only ones I truly enjoyed.

I picked it out because it was one of my favorites readings in my book.. It isn't a typical "love story" in that it isn't romantic, in fact, it's kind of brutally ironic.. Perhaps it's easy to conclude that it revolves more around jeaousy than love, but i personaly think that "love"is the central idea... (in my interpretation)
I see it as an ironic poem about a monkey who, like any other human, craved to be loved, to experience love. It is ironic in a sense that when he finally experiences love, it drives him to his death. His mistake was in believing that putting himself in the physical place of the baby, would allow him to experience love as the baby did for his mother. Only AFTER brutally tearing the baby to shreds does he reach an epiphany. The realization that love cannot be replaced. Only then, when he looked into the horrified eyes of the mother did he understand the true nature of love... “he died of envy, lacking the knack of wisdom”. i just thought it was neat.. love poems need not be mushey.

^ the theme is love,
and why can't it be? unless you're the type of person that believes that the poet doesn't at all lose authority over his poem once it has been read... and the reader should not take it to his/her own interpretation

love is as simple or complex as you want it to be. that's the beauty of love. it's whatever you make it. it's what you create for yourself to feel.
"it's like a psychadelic utopia in your brain dude" [quoting the voices in my head] i love love. don't you love love yoko*? let's have a love parade and love love as the floats float by.

The Poem Rising By Its Own Weight
The singing robes fly onto your body and cling there silkily you step out on the rope and move unfalteringly across it, and seize the fiery knives unscathed and keep them spinning above you, a fountain of rhythmic rising, falling, rising flames, and proudly let the chains be wound about you, ready to shed them, link by steel link, padlock by padlock--- but when your graceful confident shrug and twist drives the metal into your flesh and the python grip of it tightens and you see rust on the chains and blood in your pores and you roll over and down a steepness into a dark hole and there is not even the sound of mockery in the distant air somewhere above you where the sky was, no sound but your own breath panting: then it is that the miracle walks in, on his swift feet, down the precipice straight into the cave, opens the locks, knots of chain fall open, twists of chain unwind themselves, links fall asunder, in seconds there is a heap of scrap- metal at your ankles, you step free and at once he turns to go- but as you catch at him with a cry, clasping his knees, sobbing your gratitude, with what radiant joy he turns to you and raises you to your feet, and strokes your dishevelled hair, and holds you, holds you, holds you close and tenderly before he vanishes. -Denise Levertov

Just a Kiss ~ written by "Trinity" everypoet.com
My arms reach to encircle you hands sampling skin. Eyes closing for that first taste of you. Concentrating on the soft brush of lips. Velvet. mmmm...closer. Tongue hesitant to intrude, riding the seam of your mouth. Then slowly in to the delicious heat of you. That I could somehow capture the sweetness of you, your strength, convey the need for you. And with that particular glide of tongues, make love to your mouth.
