Love poems have beguiled and enraptured the hearts of lovers for centuries. Whether capturing the innocence of a budding romance or delving into the profound depths of a long-lasting union, love poems possess an inexplicable power to evoke a wide array of emotions in their readers. These lyrical masterpieces have stood the test of time, offering solace, inspiration, and a glimpse into the very essence of what it means to love and be loved.
Dating back to ancient times, love poems have been celebrated as a medium to immortalize and pay homage to the mysterious nature of love. From the sonnets of William Shakespeare to the delicate verses of Rumi, love poems have the ability to transport the reader to a realm where words become the conduits of connection, intimacy, and vulnerability.
One of the exceptional qualities of love poems is their ability to encapsulate complex emotions in elegant simplicity. The brevity of verses holds the power to convey profound feelings with a few carefully chosen words. By distilling the tumultuousness of love into succinct lines, love poems allow emotions to unfold in a concentrated burst, resonating deeply within the reader’s heart.
Moreover, love poems have the captivating ability to awaken dormant emotions within ourselves. They act as mirrors, reflecting our innermost desires, hopes, and fears. These poetic compositions urge us to confront the beauty, fragility, and unpredictability of love. In their lines, we find solace during times of heartache, empowerment during moments of doubt, and bliss in the sweetness of affection.
Poetry speaks the language of the soul, and love poems, in particular, possess a universal quality that transcends time, culture, and personal experiences. They remind us that love, with all its complexities, is an essential part of the human experience. Whether we are grappling with the intensity of a newfound love or cherishing the stability of a lifelong bond, love poems offer solace, guidance, and an opportunity for self-reflection.
Furthermore, love poems have the enchanting ability to foster and nourish connections between individuals. When shared, these verses deepen the intimacy between lovers and amplify the strength of their bond. Love poems become a whispered secret, a tangible expression of affection, and a profound affirmation of the love shared. They remind us of the importance of vulnerability, communication, and the power of words in sustaining relationships.
Ultimately, love poems possess an ethereal quality that transcends the boundaries of time and space. They transport us to realms of pure emotion, where love reigns supreme. Poets, throughout history, have harnessed the potency of language to capture the essence of love, reflecting our complex and exquisite emotional landscape.
So, the next time you find yourself longing for words to describe the depth of your emotions, turn to the timeless beauty of love poems. In their verses lies the power to inspire, comfort, and cultivate the love within your heart.
Love poems for lovers
How Do I Love Thee? By Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, – I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! – and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Take All My Loves, My Love, Yea, Take Them All? By William Shakespeare
Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all;
What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?
No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call;
All mine was thine, before thou hadst this more.
Then if for my love, thou my love receivest,
I cannot blame thee, for my love thou usest;
But yet be blamed, if thou thy self deceivest
By wilful taste of what thy self refusest.
I do forgive thy robbery, gentle thief,
Although thou steal thee all my poverty;
And yet love knows it is a greater grief
To bear love’s wrong, than hate’s known injury.
Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows,
Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes.

I Love You (But Not In The Cheesy Love Poem Kind Of Way) By Jessica Lockhart
I love you
(But not in the cheesy love poem kind of way)
But still
It’s true
If you were to get down on one knee
I would say yes
Because I know we could work
United in holy matrimony
It may seem a bit odd
Describing it like this
But I know what I mean
And so does God
I love you
Yes indeed
(Just not in the romantic sort of way)
But I still do
This is a deeper love than lust
There is no constant burning
There is no repeated reminder
Just that it is there in us
I wish I could say these things
Without sounding weird
But that’s just us I guess
Two awkward beings
I wish I could tell you that
This is the love of a friend
And if I’m gone tomorrow
I hope you know
This is the love that never ends

You Ask How Much I Love You By Charles Wiles
You ask how much I love you
And then you ask once more
And so my love I’ll tell you now
As I did once before.
I love you more than flowers love
The rising of the sun
I love you more than horses love
The plains on which they run.
I love you more than eagles love
The currents way up high
I love you more than rainbows love
The droplets in the sky.
I love you more than fishes love
The sea in which they swim
I love you more than sea birds love
The waves on which they skim.
I love you more than moonbeams love
The planets as they turn
I love you more than starships love
The void through which they burn.
I love you more than Paris loved
Fair Helen’s days in Troy
I love you more than any girl
Has every loved a boy.
I love you more than Shakespeare loved
The muses in his verse
I love you more than rich old men
Love money in their purse.
I love you more than yesterday,
And every day before,
I think that when tomorrow comes
I’ll love you even more.
Although you see I love you much
One thing I must confess
I love you so much more than words
Could ever help express.

Joy Of Love By Monica Monet
A moment’s peace from journeys long
A fullness ripe complete
Bewilderment as joy unfolds
How my heart does beat
Awakening from deepest sleep
A morning pure I greet
And everything I see is good
As I walk down the street
The sun is stroking yonder trees
And flowers rise to greet
A dawn like every other morn
For me it is replete
With tingling laughter welling up
Unbidden flowing sweet
A heart once lost is free at last
As I my love may meet

My Love And Your Love By Dennis Lange
I love you a lot.
Do you love me a little?
Do you love me enough
To keep my heart that’s brittle
From aching, from breaking,
From falling apart?
Do you love me enough
That you won’t break my heart?
My love and your love
Are no longer twins.
Your love is ending
Where mine just begins.
My love and your love
Still travel as one,
But yours is the moon
And mine is the sun.
My love is forever.
Can you love me a while?
Can you love long enough
So I don’t lose my smile
Tomorrow, to sorrow,
To days that are past?
Can you love long enough
To make my life last?
My love and your love
Are no longer twins.
Your love is ending
Where mine just begins.
My love and your love
Still travel as one,
But yours is the moon
And mine is the sun.
My love has great power.
Does yours have some strength?
Do you love strong enough
To go to the length
Of caring, of sharing,
To finish the race?
Do you love strong enough
To give me a place?
My love and your love
Are no longer twins.
Your love is ending
Where mine just begins.
My love and your love
Still travel as one,
But yours is the moon
And mine is the sun.

Poems To Let Your Love Know Your Thinking Of Them by Shutter Queen
I love your eyes,
I love your smile,
I cherish your ways,
And adore your style,
What can I say your one of a kind,
And your on my mind,
Good Morning Sweety

I’m someone who dreams of your smile,
And finds your presence in my life is worth the world,
So when your lonely remember it’s true,
Some that cares is thinking of you

Mountains may die,
Rivers may dry,
You may forget me,
But never would I,
So when your lonely, sad or blue,
Jus remember I’m thinking of you

You’re someone special,
You’re someone sweet,
When I think of you my heart skips a beat,
You’re in this world,
You’re one of a kind,
And someone like you will never leave my mind
#5
In life I learn how;
to love, to smile, to be happy, to be strong,
to work hard, to be honest, to be faithful and to forgive,
But I didn’t learn how to stop thinking about you,

My Pen, My Thoughts, My Love By Maia Padua
From my pen, flows my thoughts
From my pen speaks my love
The passion in me, the burning love
All the words, left unlatched, unspoken
All the love, all the desire that remains hidden.
Never let a moment passed without a memory
Never to leave a single thought, remains unsaid
All the words I tend to say
All the words, I wanted to confess
May it be words, of bitterness, joy or pain
I express everything I feel, through my pen
What I truly feels, what I truly long for
To be able to grasp if what I feel is truly love
Or just feeling some sense of belonging to you
If too scared to say that I want to know you
Too afraid to tell you, I want to be with you
Through my pen, I make it known without shame.
All my questions, all those endless doubts
All the love, all my dreams, all my fallouts
All those confused thoughts, running from my heart
That I long for an answer since from the start
All I want to let you know, all the love in me, flow.
I will never let my pen runs dry
For in my hands, to my pen, my love, my heart’s cry

Each Time I Think Of You By Charles Wiles
Did I say you are amazing?
Did I mention how I knew?
See how angels watch in wonder
Each time I think of you.
Did I tell you how you move me?
Perhaps you had a clue.
Watch how Cupid breaks his bowstring
Each time I think of you.
Did I say you are so special?
I’m sure you know it’s true.
Look the Gods themselves stop fighting
Each time I think of you.
Did I tell you that I love you?
Perhaps you knew this too,
For all the hosts of heaven stumble
Each time I think of you.

Tell Me Softly by Charles Wiles
Tell me softly, my sweet love,
Of how I won your heart.
Whisper now the gentle tale
Of how our love did start.
Tell me how we met by chance
One rainy day in June.
Tease me now of our first kiss
Beneath a summer moon.
Tell me where we said ‘hello’
And watched the dying storm.
Remind me how we huddled close
To keep each other warm.
Tell me, love, before I sleep,
Of how I won your heart,
Let me hear your voice once more
Before, at last, we part.

Poem To A Secret Love By Matthew Holloway
You are the missing song to my heart
The eternal beauty of which I dream
That wry smile across my face
When I am lost deep in thought
You are the secret I have poorly kept
The muse to so many poems
The reason I believe in romance
My heart is still waiting for you
I look at the flowers in bloom
The full colour of spring
If I could take every flower
I would sow a garden in your name
The birds would come and sing
And butterflies fill the air
Yet none would be as lovely
Or as beautiful as you
I say your name and I’m smiling
I think of you and feel warm
You the secret I have so poorly kept
The one of who I so often dream
The missing song to my heart
The one who has taken my love
And turned it to a work of art

Heaven Sent By Charles Wiles
Before that day I saw you
I never looked with true love’s eyes,
But angels are revealing
And shine through all disguise.
Before that day I heard you
I never thought true love would call,
But angels are enthralling
And so you made me fall.
Before that day I touched you
I never knew how true love felt,
But angels are embracing
And so my heart did melt.
Before that day I kissed you
I never tasted true love’s pull,
But angels are all giving
And let you drink your full.
Before that day I met you
I never knew what true love meant,
But angels are for loving
And you are heaven sent.

Love Poem To My Love By Ash adetayo
Oh you my love, reaching you with a poem i wrote
In hope you will reach me back with a drop of note.
Imagine the sweet rhymes coming out from my mouth
Oh I wish I could, but yet the distance is not my fault.
Oh you my love, so much time as passes, flipping like pages
Even so, let find way to be the best lovers even in our old ages.
What three words are said too much, yet not enough? ‘i love you’
Oh my love, even a ram’s favorite poem is ‘i only have eyes for Ewe’.
How i wish you’re here by side staring at my face with a sunlit smile
Oh my love, how happy i am, the source of my joy is that you are mine.
Like clinking and tinkling, jingle to my love poem rhymes and riddles
In gently i w’l always hold you in my arms like a baby sleeping in its cradle.

When I Wake Up Every Morning by Charles Wiles
When I wake up every morning
I always watch you for a while
Then I kiss you very lightly,
Watch your lips turn to a smile.
Then you ask me what the time is
And I whisper in your ear
That the hour hardly matters
When you’re lying warm and near.
Your smile grows slightly wider,
But you turn your face away,
Hide your head under the pillow,
Try to cheat the break of day.
Your hair wisps round about you,
Flows like water to your hips,
But your neck soon bare before me
Feels the pressure of my lips.
Then I touch you very lightly,
Run my fingers down your spine,
And your body gently waking
Turns till eyes gaze into mine.
And in that very moment,
As your mouth seeks to entice,
When I wake up every morning,
I am lost in paradise.

An Old Love Poem By JAMES T. ADAIR
There is a point in everyone’s life where they dream
I used to be a dreamer too
Now I’m on the tail end of dreams and have…just one
I dream of being loved by you
Selfish dream, I know
but I always dreamed love would one day be true
and I gave it up, quit on it
and then there was you
And not I’ve got this terrible feeling
terribly lost and lonely too
and it’s somehow turning out blue
and feels lost on you
Because in my dream
I reached out to touch you
and you reached for me too
I really wanted to believe it was true
But you shy away and silently play
as thought its just entertainment or something to do
but one heart is breaking in two
and the other is uncertain almost through
and there is nothing anybody can do
except for you
to reach for me
because I never needed anyone more than you

The Shy Girl’s Love Poem by Her Name Is Taylor
When I see you
walking across the room
I want to hide and it’s all because:
You make me stutter
You make me say nothing at all
And they wander why Im so shy
It’s because Im nervous and I don’t know
what to do….
My head is spinning everytime I see you
So until I can get my head nice and good
and my flustering turns into something you can
understand too,
Im going to shy away, because there’s just sooo
much for me to say…. you make me grin
when I hide in the bathroom
you make my head spin,
everytime I see you

A Dolly Bird (A Love Poem) by Harindhar Reddy
Daffodils, clear rills with musk-rose fills!
Tweet-tweet, It’s a feast in eyes of the green universe;
With Her photographic smile, her youth blooms!
With genuine style, her bosom blossoms,
She is an apple of my eyes, my heart says;
Jeepers creepers! A dolly bird is the seventh wonder of my heart!
The beauty of a poem – romantic!
The beauty of the music – sardonic,
The beauty of light rays,
The beauty of life says,
Yet it is the beauty of the love fulfills!
Holy mackerel! A dolly bird is the seventh wonder of my heart!
Beauty is in her graceful walk!
Beauty is in her witful talk,
Beauty is in her voluptuous body – nice!
Beauty is in her sleek smooth skin of my lady – spice,
Her slender waist with tender heart!
Holy moly! A dolly bird is the seventh wonder of my heart!
Above all is small – a heart warm,
With natural aura and a pretty smile,
She’s got the class and she’s got the style!
With personality at top, a heaven’s charm,
With the kind soul, She’s got a catchy heart!
Gordon Bennett! A dolly bird is the seventh wonder of my heart!

Make My Day (Love Poem) Poem by Alexander M. Sirnes
I think about you,
need you and want you.
You seem so perfect,
how could you be true?
Sometimes I doubt,
my gut and senses.
Just want to come out,
and take all the chances.
Soulmate,
is there such a bond.
If there is, I found it,
it really does astound.
You surprise me,
every day.
I get love struck,
forget what to say.
What else could I need,
what else can I say.
No matter what happens,
you always make my day.
