this is part of one he wrote about his daughter
When I thought of daughters
I wasn't expecting this
but I like this more!.
I like all your faults
even your purple moods
when you retreat from everyone
to sit in bed under a quilt!.
And when I say 'like'
I mean of course 'love'
but that embarrasses you!.
You who feel superior to black and white movies

I don't have a favorite poem, but i do love Shakespeare's lines!. For example:

1) Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts!.
2) The courses of true love never did run smooth!.
3) My bounty is as deep as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite!.

They're not in any kind of order, but hey, they still intrigue me!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do not love you except because I love you;

I go from loving to not loving you,

From waiting to not waiting for you

My heart moves from cold to fire!.



I love you only because it's you the one I love;

I hate you deeply, and hating you

Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you

Is that I do not see you but love you blindly!.



Maybe January light will consume

My heart with its cruel

Ray, stealing my key to true calm!.



In this part of the story I am the one who

Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,

Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood!.



Pablo NerudaWww@QuestionHome@Com

Coat

Sometimes I have wanted
to throw you off
like a heavy coat!.

Sometimes I have said
you would not let me
breathe or move!.

But now that I am free
to choose light clothes
or none at all

I feel the cold
and all the time I think
how warm it used to be!.

-Vicki Feaver (1943-)

Not sure its romantic but its about love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have loved England, dearly and deeply,
Since that first morning, shining and pure,
The white cliffs of Dover, I saw rising steeply
Out of the sea that once made her secure!.

I had no thought then of husband or lover,
I was a traveller, the guest of a week;
Yet when they pointed "the white cliffs of Dover,"
Startled I found there were tears on my cheek!.

I have loved England, and still as a stranger,
Here is my home, and I still am alone!.
Now in her hour of trial and danger,
Only the English are really her own!.

Its about an American before a World War, that fell in love with a Brit unexpectedly, he had mistaken her for someone else; he was so handsome, she went along with the mistaken identity for a while!. This does end tragic as love sometimes does!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Guide of the Era is about to appear from a
corner of the desert of Hijaz!.
The carvan is about to move out from this far
flung valley!.

I have observed the kingly majesty on the
faces of the slaves!.
Mahmud's splendour is visible in the dust of
Ayaz!.

Life laments for ages both in the Ka'bah and
the idol-house!.
So that a person who knows the secret may
appear!.

The laments that burst forth from the breasts
of the earnestly devoted people!. Are going
to initiate a new principle in the conscience of
the world!.

Take this harp from my hand!. I am done for!.
My laments have turned into blood and that
blood is going to trickle from the strings of the
harp!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you Romantic as in the Romantic movement of Wordworth, Byron, Keats etc!. or as in soppy love poetry!? Because they are often VERY different (as Natasha Bedinfield should've realised this before writing her stupid song 'I Love You')Www@QuestionHome@Com
