Well considering they were written for you, it's even more of a compliment.

This isn't written by me, but by British poet Ted Hughes, one of my favourite poets, Sylvia Plath's husband and the man who was in my avatar not too long ago. I chose this poem from him here because the topic seemed to be love. I know this topic is about poems written by users, but this is how the master does it.
Lovesong
By Ted Hughes
He loved her and she loved him.
His kisses sucked out her whole past and future or tried to
He had no other appetite
She bit him she gnawed him she sucked
She wanted him complete inside her
Safe and sure forever and ever
Their little cries fluttered into the curtains
Her eyes wanted nothing to get away
Her looks nailed down his hands his wrists his elbows
He gripped her hard so that life
Should not drag her from that moment
He wanted all future to cease
He wanted to topple with his arms round her
Off that moment's brink and into nothing
Or everlasting or whatever there was
Her embrace was an immense press
To print him into her bones
His smiles were the garrets of a fairy palace
Where the real world would never come
Her smiles were spider bites
So he would lie still till she felt hungry
His words were occupying armies
Her laughs were an assassin's attempts
His looks were bullets daggers of revenge
His glances were ghosts in the corner with horrible secrets
His whispers were whips and jackboots
Her kisses were lawyers steadily writing
His caresses were the last hooks of a castaway
Her love-tricks were the grinding of locks
And their deep cries crawled over the floors
Like an animal dragging a great trap
His promises were the surgeon's gag
Her promises took the top off his skull
She would get a brooch made of it
His vows pulled out all her sinews
He showed her how to make a love-knot
Her vows put his eyes in formalin
At the back of her secret drawer
Their screams stuck in the wall
Their heads fell apart into sleep like the two halves
Of a lopped melon, but love is hard to stop
In their entwined sleep they exchanged arms and legs
In their dreams their brains took each other hostage
In the morning they wore each other's face

ok my poem ..its called "the right guy! "
lying on my bed trying to figure out the key to this mess,
what have i done to make u feel deppressed?
should i apoloize?or simply feel sorry for myself?
is it Christina,Courtney,Sarah or Beth?
so many questions i want to ask,
but i'm afraid its a difficult task,
C'mon be a man and confess,
or arent u man enough?
sadly,i didnt listen to my friends' voices,
telling me not to make wrong choices,
but yet,i followed my heart not my mind,
and as a consequence,left me behind,
i was the victim of your lies,
sadly,u didnt hear me cry,
sleepless,helpless,loveless...was I,
when will i find the right guy?!
ta-da!

just because deej asked me...
i will send a poem that i found,about a friendship turned into love...
it's called the the
Death of Me
Everything you could have been
Everything you'll be.
Everything you dream about
And everything you see.
All the times you feel so much
And times you let them go.
Times you thought you wanted love
And times you'll never know.
Parts of you, you cannot hide
Parts I'll never see.
Parts that want to be alone
And parts you share with me.
All these things that make you whole
I love like no one could.
And this is why I dream of you
In ways a lover would.
For friends is not enough for me
I know that it's been years.
But love has grown to more than this
Despite my greatest fears.
Take a look behind these eyes
And see the death of me.
The love I feel for my best friend
Though he will never see.

Here is my attempt a poetry:
rate please!
Chapter
Staring at you from afar
Sitting next to him
Silent Spliced Smile
So he can fill your whim
Between the crowds i stare
Because of your face
Beautiful Billowing Brilliance
Beating at a fast pace
Jumping to my feet
Jousting nasty eyes
Just Juvinille Jesting
Joureryed for lies
I dont see what your eyes
Imagine to be on this beast
Ideas In Instants
Im seeing his genuine side least
Slow realisation kills this
Sadened illusion
Struck Speedily Strongly
So much Confusion
Running away you go
Realising my view
Rushing remains real
Raging hate anew
Dumbstruck by you again
Destraught by your clues
Defeated Destroyed Demeanied
Dying, you dont love me too
..?
