This is a poem I plan on giving to the one I love who refuses to go out with me on Valentines Day. Wish me luck, ill need it. If there are any changes that I should make, PLEASE tell me. I want this to work, and for it to, I need this to be perfect.


I love you now and always will
There is a hole in my heart that you can fill
At first sight there cannot be more than lust
Love can happen over time, if you have trust
I have only the noblest of intentions
I am not a trixter with conniving inventions
I want nothing more than for you to be mine
My question is: Will you be my Valentine?

 I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion

This is a very sweet poem. I think that you should just leave it the way it is. Just take the chance and give it to her. You should realize though that you can't make anyone go out with you if they don't want to. But i do belive you ought to go ahead and give her the poem.

Mistik,

I'm not a poet (and yes, I know it).     -- Just a starter myself.  I read your poem (which by the way is SOO sweet!).. and made an attempt at puncuating it in such a way that would (perhaps) make it flow easier (if that makes any sense??).  Umm... anyways.. here's what I came up with.

I love you now, and always will.
There's a hole in my heart that you can fill.
At first sight, there cannot be more than lust.
Love can happen over time, if you have trust.
I have only the noblest of intentions,
I am not a trixter with conniving inventions,
I want nothing more, than for you to be mine.
My question is:  Will you be my Valentine?

Anyways, you can decide what works best for you.   (I'm a puncuating freak, tend to put it where it isn't needed, so you can ignore me if you want   )  As I said before, I'm a newbee.  Ah... I'm babbling.  Good luck with the girl!  

-Penny

Definitely good luck, Mistik.  I think this is really sweet and honest and that it works well either punctuated or unpunctuated.  Whichever you prefer.  Great work, I hope it works out for you!

Wow, thank you all for your support. Wow, my first response from a moderator since my first post    I plan on giving her this poem along with a single rose. Its gonna be the hardest thing I have ever done. This will be my fourth attempt at getting her to go out with me, hopefully fourth times the charm...

This is such a sweet poem. If the girl doesn't be your valentine then maybe she ain't worth stressing about.
Good luck and keep

Usually I'd agree w/ ESP, but that was so cute. If she means that much to you, then never give up, guys that write poetry for a girl is not common, so she'll come around.
I hope you'll let us now how it turns out. one more thing, it's perfect how it is because it's straight from you, don't change it.

mistikman: i really like this poem in the format that it's in already, and normally wouldn't suggest changes, but since you are looking for the smallest details, here are the ideas i had (i'm just going to post my revised version and you can compare for yourself):

I love you now, as I always will;
This hole in my heart is for you to fill.
At first sight there may be only lust,
Yet love happens in time -- if you do trust.
I have only noblest of intentions
I am no trickster with sly invention
I want nothing more than for you to be mine
And so from the heart I pose this question:
...Oh, wont you be my valentine?

basically i tried to make the meter a little more smooth and i ended up having to add a line and mess up your rhyme scheme to fit it in a way that i thought might work... (do note that the next to last line rhymes with the lines two and three above it, however, as the final line rhymes with the third from final line)... take and leave what you think does or does not work... hope i've been of some help...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with the blue thumb

As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

Here's my humble suggestion:

I love you now, I always have right from the start
There's a space that you can fill inside my heart
Although at times it may appear to you as lust
Let love evolve and you will learn to trust
Fear not, I have but noblest intentions in my mind
And you will see that I do care, as time unwinds
All that I ask of you tonight is to be mine,
Oh, (name), won't you be my Valentine?

PS: GOOD LUCK!

Ok...remember you asked for this..lol. I took alittle from all the suggestions and put my own twist on it. (notice..I left all mention of lust out of this. Not romatic at all!!)

I love you now, I have from the start,
There's this void you can fill in my heart.
Give me a chance 'cause my heart sure will bust,
Let love evolve and you'll learn how to trust.
Fear not, I have but noblest intention,
My feelings here are not my invention.
And so from the heart, say you'll be mine.
....Oh, won't you be my Valentine?

So, let us know what you decide and post your final work for us to see. We also want to know how it went. Much luck my friend!

I love your poem.  I hope all works out for you.  I know if someone wrote a poem like that for me, I'd melt and be theirs at least for the day.  I wish you the best of luck with you're crush.
