It's valentine day and a day to celebrate love. A moment of expression of love and a moment of passionate love.

We, at Nairaland Poetry Club, celebrate Love and valentine in grand style.

We give you love in different emotions and spirits. We hope you feel love as you read these poems? Thank you!

Love

Emotion is a song
love hummed too.
A baked smile
with warm caring
makes a plate of love!

The teeth of passion
chew the bones
of emotion!

For love is a tree.
it grows when
there is broken affection
planted in the soil of tenderness.

Like how I was born;
My Dad hid me in my Mum!

Thick fabric of emotion
clattering tenderly like the
cloud and raindrops
making love.

Oh! Milk of love
Warm on the tongue,
of fantasy of I love you.
Soothed on the throat
of I can't do without you.

A fur of protection
When the flurry wind blow,
Standing against all odds,
Love becomes the sake to love,
like cobweb is a spider!

Cherished moments
Of melt tenderness,
Snogged spicily on this special day for love!

FADING LOVE

©Everest
Fourteenth has again feigned scarlet,
Crimson roses now hued violet,
Love now comes in few droplets,
Hearts now loosely hung like anklets.

Red clothing worn to conceal their hearts,
Roses from an outstretched hand of harts,
'Guised smile forming beneath a dark hat,
Alas! A heart's been tossed like a light dart.

Prickly,spiky like a serrated blade,
Hearts are torn into uneven shades,
Look! See! Their love fades,
Hate's borne from hearts of hades.

Hearts had in years gone, grown rosy.
Love gushed, faces beam, lives' went mossy,
O! Dear,let's step back, and it'll again get cosy.
Just two steps could get us warm, and not frosty.

So many things I can do for love
Yet, everything I do is nothing
So many words I can say for love
Here am I, saying nothing


Here I am, blind to myself
Knowing only but all of you
There you are, I feel not for myself
All I know is to love you

My world, will you dare
To give me back a little piece
of love, so with you I can share
And know what it feels to be free

Let us stay here together
If it does not hurt you my dear
Perhaps in a lifetime or two
You'll learn that I love you

If death do us part will you still be my valentine?
Will you come to my grave and pour me wine?
And say forever I am yours and you're mine? And will you ask me to apologize for leaving you behind?

Would you love me, and not my pocket size?
Would you hug me, before these rich guys?
Is this love real, or for today's gifts?
I'm just asking please, give my soul lifts!

Some wait once a year to show they care
But You know my dear I am always here
To me today is just another day
Because we celebrate our love everyday

Red and white they wear, to the days outing
Showing romance out here, inside; shouting
Inside; fighting. I find the love you speak
Okay Love, try me! Let's show the love we preach

I should take you to ride a horse
I should buy you gift at all cost
But how can i follow those laws
When I could hear echoes in my purse?

If I fail you gifts-wise, hope you love me still
Don't start thinking twice; the way you feel
I see doubts in your eyes, if only looks could kill
The way you smile is nice. But alas! It isn't real

If i see your name when my phone ring
I won't even have the sympathy to pick
Even if i did I wont even speak
Cause you never wanted love but my lovely gifts

Love rents the air, conceals the greed
Your body is bare, for your wants ahead
Why you are here, it's something you need
Valentine is rare, true love is dead

Every time I see you smile I wish I could make you mine
It's just sad I can't give you my card
Because it will just get in line
Waiting to be dumped among the piles

Hope I have not, love leaves me pale
The truth will hurt, but leaves me hale
Is it love we've got? And it ends today?
Screw Valentine! We've got a future to make

I Chose You
by Emaculate Ife and Texanomaly

Suddenly all love songs your name impart.
I dream of you every night.
I choose you, write your name upon my heart.
You are my only light.


I dream of you every night.
You are my home, no matter the miles.
You are my only light.
When I think of you my heart smiles.


You are my home, no matter the miles.
My heartbeat, that's what you are.
When I think of you my heart smiles.
In this world, you are my star.


My heartbeat, that's what you are.
If I could be anything in the world, I would still be yours.
In this world, you are my star.
You are my safe port from hostile shores.


If I could be anything in the world, I would still be yours.
I count days wanting to hold you .
You are my safe port from hostile shores.
Forget not that I always want you.


I count days wanting to hold you.
Till I see you again.
Forget not that I always want you.
All my love I send.


Till I see you again.
I choose you, write your name upon my heart.
All my love I send.
Suddenly all love songs your name impart.

A Sweet Reality.


Love,
Joy, bliss...
Happiness.
Feelings caress
As I'm awaken
By the tender feel of
Lips, as gently as a Rose;
Breath, as fresh as air, body, as
Smooth as velvet, and a touch of love,
As radiant as the Sun. I'm in love.

great work by all the poets! more ink to your pens.

Love

Why does the world hate you so
And lift you high to trample with the sole
Even when you're professed with tongue and soul
Or cringe so we can wild oats sow
Love lost.

Love love love, i really
can't wait for today to jez end.

Psg v$ βαrca will do...

Valentines day
There's never been a moment more loaded with so much deadly tension than Valentine's day. so y'all should be careful today.

Ok...Poems abi

For me this is the best.

Let there be love, shared amongst us,
Let there be love, in our hearts,
LORD let your love, fill this Nation
Cause us O LORD, to arise
Give us a fresh, understanding of brotherly love that is real
Let there be love, shared amongst us
Let there be love.......

As Angels we dont drive, we have huge invisible wings we use for flying, l can fly to any part of the word in seconds, you forgot we are not humans subject to human frailty, l can fly to 100 countries within 3 seconds because l am a SPIRIT .

LordJudeEfcc:
look at ur life

Today is the day to game All in the name of val To play and molest destiny You are guilty of this right?
The devil is kocking And also tempting Great men are falling Our girls are victims
Many are promised Many are scared All in the name of losing There precious virginity
Tell them the truth O ye fake workers in his vineyard You have planed it,and believe you cant be caught To molest and destroy,ye daughters of Jezebels
I have the light To war and fight My flesh to birth In christ my breath
Not to fornication Nor to abortion Not to promotion Of sexual addiction
But to Love his word Share his gift Salvation to the world The greatest love of all

TO US




To feel you without touch,
to see you without vision, 
to taste you without tongue,
to clash without collision.
To breathe you without lungs,
to savour without scent,
to listen without sound,
to sin without repent.
To live without a life,
to calm without a breath,
to fall without a break,
to die without a death.
