I like "In a Slience" by Richard Hovey.

Heart to heart! And the stillness of night and the moonlight, like hushed breathing Silently, stealthily moving across thy hair! O womanly face! Tender and strong and lucent with infinite feeling, Shrinking with startled joy, like wind-struck water, and yet so frank, so unashamed of love! Ay, for there it is, love - that's the deepest. Love's not in the dark. Light loves wither i' the sun, but Love endureth, Clothing himself with the light as with a robe. I would bare my soul to thy sight- leave not a secret deep unsearched, unrevealing its shame or its glory. Love without truth shall die as a soul without God. A lying love is the love of a day But the brave and true shall love forever, Build love a house; Let the walls be thick Shut him in from the sight of men; But hide not love from himself. Ah, the summer night! The wind in the trees and the moonlight! And my kisses on thy throat And thy breathing in my hair! Silent lips to lips! But our souls have held speech thought answering echoing thought, Though the only words were kisses.

i don't really read a great deal of poetry but i have written some and been published, i'll give you a preview.

Here's a short one for you;

dip inside my fragile mind

See the the sights i hide behind

take my hand i'll show you round

guide you through my hunting ground

We'll walk the fields of forgotten dreams

pass through the hell where my soul screams

then take a swim in my lost love

and watch my memories fly above

we'll shoot them down and watch them fall

then screw them up into a ball

leave them lying on the floor

because i don't need them anymore.

And another short one is;

sleepless inside, wring me out

fluid thinking, nagging doubt

deep between my shallow self

leave the old me on the shelf

turn around, watch me go

switch over to another show

walking tall, lying low

my zest for life begins to grow

up and down, the flick of a switch

truth or dare, i can't decide which

fate or fact, how to choose?

heads i win tails i lose

sing a song, shed a tear

the furthest away i wish were near

can't control as i fall

pull me in, be my thrall

exact revenge in my stead

these thoughts invade my fragile head.

There, hope you enjoyed reading my rhymes, if they strike a cord then let me know. cheers, Rich.
