Writing love poems,
I have now mastered.
Let us go halves
On our own little bastard!

Or this.

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh ... And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new.”
― e.e. cummings

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I have a knife,
Now get in the van.

There is no uncheesy way of doing writing something like that unless you are an actual poet, so why not quote a poet who said it so well.

I like this.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

William Butler Yeats

Beautiful. Wonder what it says about me that I instantly thought of my recently deceased dog rather than my OH.

Or a little note saying "I have decided to drop the Rohypnol as you appear to be staying around"

Roses are Red
Violets are Bluer
Don't come to close
Cause I smell like a sewer

"Roses are black,
Violets are black,
Everything is black,
I can't see"

-Stevie Wonder

Eemmm, isn't the text already on the card? That's what you pay for?

Just sign the thing, rub it off your crotch and then open it again pretending to look surprised
