Romantic Poetry by Modern Poets

   

Milestones

We count minutes, days, years ...
   unconsciously marking time
   as if waiting for an epochal event
   to mark another lifetime milestone.

Learning, growing, changing ...
  moving too quickly through youth,
  wanting to freeze special moments in time
  to be lived forever.

Searching for a reason
  to wake up every morning;
  to smile just because it feels good;
  to stop in the middle of the day
  and know that somewhere special, everything is right.

You are my living moment,
   more real and more perfect with each touch.
As the kernel of vibrant youth shines through your timeless smile,
  your loving heart is the one great gift in my life.

Together, we will travel and grow.
Know that in all the world
  there is only one wonderful you.
