You Make the Knees of My Bees Weak

I have some extra points, so its contest time!

It's pretty straight forward: I am in a love/hate romantic situation right now and want some reading material.

soooooooo...i'm looking for poems on the topic of LOVE (how easy is that?) i prefer stuff that relate to my own love/hate thing but anything romantic will do!

i'm looking for eloquence, descriptive imagery, originality, lots of emotions...etc.

some prompts (you don't have to use them, but just in case you need ideas):

Songs...
Alanis Morissette - Knees of My Bees, Head Over Heels, Everything
Skye Sweetnam - Tangled Up In Me
Snow Patrol - Hands Open, Spitting Games, You Could Be Happy, It's Beginning to Get to Me
Voxtrot - Steven
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Phenomena
Vanessa Carlton - Papa, Hands On Me, Fools Like Me
anything from Tegan and Sara
Eux Autres - The Other Girls
Regina Spektor - Fidelity, Summer In the City, Samson
Sufjan Stevens - Casmir Pulaski Day, The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out To Get Us!
Plain White Ts - Hey There Delilah

Books/Movies/TV...
I Capture the Castle - Dodie Smith (author)
Say Anything - Cameron Crowe (director)
Pride & Prejudice - (book/TV/Movie)
Draco and Hermione - (book pairing)
Logan and Veronica - (Veronica Mars pairing)
Henry/Betty/Daniel - (Ugly Betty pairings)
House/me! (lol...i wish)

and i think that gives u enough ideas...

I'll try to comment on ALL the entries!
