Love Poem # 21

A Line-storm Song

The line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift, The road is forlorn all day, Where a myriad snowy quartz stones lift, And the hoof-prints vanish away. The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee, Expend their bloom in vain. Come over the hills and far with me, And be my love in the rain. The birds have less to say for themselves In the wood-world’s torn despairThan now these numberless years the elves, Although they are no less there: All song of the woods is crushed like some Wild, easily shattered rose. Come, be my love in the wet woods; come, Where the boughs rain when it blows. There is the gale to urge behind And bruit our singing down, And the shallow waters aflutter with wind From which to gather your gown. What matter if we go clear to the west, And come not through dry-shod? For wilding brooch shall wet your breast The rain-fresh goldenrod. Oh, never this whelming east wind swells But it seems like the sea’s return To the ancient lands where it left the shells Before the age of the fern; And it seems like the time when after doubt Our love came back amain. Oh, come forth into the storm and rout And be my love in the rain.

Love Poem # 22

There Is a Beauty in the Color Brown

There is a beauty in the color brownWhich brings to mind the muted light of caring.Earth tones: roots, ground leafmeal, seeds, and soil;Nuts and bark, broad rivers thick with toil;Tree trunks in a clearing, nothing wearing,Yet holding high their single woven crown.
For me brown brings to mind your caring eyes,Innocent and gentle as a doe's.Vested in your love, my own love grows;Each thought, each hope, each breath within you lies.

Love Poem # 23

The Sacred Fruit

The sacred fruit of your soul was lostTaken unrightfully, stolenIt hurt immensely
You shared the holiness with othersTo rid the raunch treachery
Then met a man who treated you horriblyAbused you, hit you, took control of you
I came and pleased youTreated you well, made you happyShared our thoughtsEntered each others minds
We talked about memoriesThings we hadThings we wantWhat we need
We laughedCriedSmiled
The love we hadThe love we haveI want to be with you till the endI want to give you my fruitAnd share my wine

Love Poem # 24

The Look

Strephon kissed me in the spring, Robin in the fall,But Colin only looked at me And never kissed at all.
Strephon's kiss was lost in jest, Robin's lost in play,But the kiss in Colin's eyes Haunts me night and day.

Love Poem # 25

Why God Made Friends

God made the world with a heart full of love,Then He looked down from Heaven above,
And saw that we all need a helping hand,Someone to share with, who'll understand.
He made special people to see us throughThe glad times and the sad times, too;
A person on whom we can always depend,Someone we can call a friend.
God made friends so we'll carry a partOf His perfect love in all our hearts.

Love Poem # 27

Love So Sweet

You woke me from my sleepand drenched my heart with a love so deep.When I look into your eyesI see my reflection,my feelings for you I do not despise.You treat me like the princess I should beby pouring your sweet and sensual love all over me.When I see you bitting your lip and anxiously trying to kiss me,I debate in my mind whether or not I should let you taste me.You stand there all quiet with your sexy body,and I think in my mind, "Oh, my gosh, what a hottie."When I hear you speak, all your beautiful voice doesis make me weak.I love you for this andI love you for that,but you love me for everything and that.

My Vow To You

When you are sad, I will dry your tearsWhen you are scared, I will comfort your fearsWhen you need love, my heart I will shareWhen you are sick, for you I will care
You will feel my love when we are apartKnowing that nothing will change my heartWhen you are worried, I will give you hopeWhen you are confused, I will help you cope

Love Poem # 29

How do you know when you're in love?

How do you know when you're in loveis it the crazy things you dois it the fact that my heart skips a beateverytime that i think of youIs it the fact that I can't sleep at nightwhen your image is in my headOr is it the fact that I can't stop smilingafter every word that you've saidIs it the need to hold you in my armsand keep you there foreverOr is it the fact that I wrote you a poemand sent it to you in a letterIs it this awful feeling deep insidewhenever I have to take you homeOr is it just being here without youthat makes me feel so aloneIs is this hunger deep insidethat longs for your kissI am so happy that I'm in lovefor there are so many things I would miss.

Love poem # 30

Come live with me and be my love

Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks, Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks, By shallow rivers to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies, A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull; Fair lined slippers for the cold, With buckles of th purest gold;
A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs: And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my love.
The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love.

- Christopher Marlowe -

Love Poem # 31

This Is the Third Time We Have Tried This Love

This is the third time we have tried this love,And this will be the time that it will last.Our back and forth is buried in the past.Now will never end, as time will prove.I've learned through all the fights and separationsThat happiness depends on having you.It took some time to see that this was true,Beyond all other dreams and speculations.But now it is the rock on which I stand.I know it, and the knowledge brings me peace.I need no space for rambling or release.All I am I put into your hands.Love me well, for I'm completely yours.The way is clear; I have no other doors.

Love Poem # 11

A Red Red Rose

O my Luve's like a red, red roseThat's newly sprung in June;O my Luve's like the melodieThat's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,So deep in luve am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear,Till a' the seas gang dry:
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks melt wi' the sun;I will luve thee still, my dear,While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve,And fare thee weel awhile!And I will come again, my Luve,Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.

Famous love poems by Robert Burns

Love Poem # 12

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyondany experience,your eyes have their silence:in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look will easily unclose methough i have closed myself as fingers,you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i andmy life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,as when the heart of this flower imaginesthe snow carefully everywhere descending;nothing which we are to perceive in this world equalsthe power of your intense fragility:whose texturecompels me with the color of its countries,rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closesand opens;only something in me understandsthe voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

- E. E. Cummings -

Love Poem # 13

As Long As You're Near

The first time we met, I could see,That you and I, were meant to be.Your eyes were so gentle, your smile so true,When you first held my hand, I just knew.
Now the time has gone by, through laughter and tears,These days I shall cherish, for years upon years.Those memories we have, shall never fade,For those are the steps, that we have made.
That was the past, the future is near,I anxiously wait, for what will appear.New homes, more laughter, and children so dear,Everything will be wonderful, as long as you're near.

Love poem # 14

On His Late Wife

Methought I saw my late espousèd saintBrought to me like Alcestis from the grave,Whom Jove's great son to her glad husband gave,Rescued from death by force though pale and faint.Mine as whom washed from spot of childbed taint,Purification in the old law did save,And such, as yet once more I trust to haveFull sight of her in heaven without restraint,Came vested all in white, pure as her mind:Her face was veiled, yet to my fancied sight,Love, sweetness, goodness in her person shinedSo clear, as in no face with more delight.But O as to embrace me she inclinedI waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.

- John Milton -

Love Poem # 15

I Love You

When April bends above meAnd finds me fast asleep,Dust need not keep the secretA live heart died to keep.
When April tells the thrushes,The meadow-larks will know,And pipe the three words lightlyTo all the winds that blow.
Above his roof the swallows,In notes like far-blown rain,Will tell the little sparrowBeside his window-pane.
O sparrow, little sparrow,When I am fast asleep,Then tell my love the secretThat I have died to keep.

- Sara Teasdale -

Love Poem # 16

A Special World

A special world for you and meA special bond one cannot seeIt wraps us up in its cocoonAnd holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun goldGently nestling us to the foldLike silken thread it holds us fastBonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may breakA new one forms in its wakeTo bind us closer and keep us strongIn a special world, where we belong.

- Sheelagh Lennon -

Love Poem # 17

Life in a Love

Escape me?Never—Beloved!While I am I, and you are you,So long as the world contains us both,Me the loving and you the loth,While the one eludes, must the other pursue.My life is a fault at last, I fear:It seems too much like a fate, indeed!Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain,To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,And baffled, get up to begin again,—So the chase takes up one's life, that's all.While, look but once from your farthest bound,At me so deep in the dust and dark,No sooner the old hope drops to groundThan a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,I shape me—EverRemoved!

- Robert Browning -

Love Poem # 18

Motionless

If time could stand still, I’d freeze it here,So you’d always hold me, close and near.In your arms, where I’m meant to be,Filled with the perfect love you’ve given me.
A bond so strong, a hold so tight,To know you’re the one; my ‘Mr. Right’.A blessing sent from up above,In you I’ve found my one true love.
Our lives entwined to be as one,Upon this journey we’ve just begun.Where you and I will find no less,Than eternal love and happiness.

- Kelley Saint -

Love Poem # 19

Keeper Of My Dreams

When you're not here to share my days and nightsMy life is so incompleteFor you are my heart, my soulThe ‘oneness’ I had known to seek
Without you I merely exist from day to dayWith you I know that I will findAll that I have been searching forMy completeness, my eternal peace of mind
You are the keeper of my dreamsThe man who holds my heart in his handsThe one I want to spend my life withThe one with whom I will always stand
Stand beside through thick and thinThrough all that life will throw our wayKnowing that this special love we shareWill guide us, each and every day
This journey was started long agoBefore this time and placeThe journey of completenessAs two hearts and souls embrace
Forever is what I want with youFor the search is at an endOur hearts have found each otherAs lovers, as soul-mates, as friends.

- Denise Mangano -

Love Poem # 20

On May Morning

Now the bright morning Star, Day's harbinger,Comes dancing from the East, and leads with herThe Flowery May, who from her green lap throwsThe yellow Cowslip, and the pale Primrose.Hail bounteous May that dost inspireMirth and youth, and warm desire, Woods and Groves, are of thy dressing,Hill and Dale, doth boast thy blessing.Thus we salute thee with our early Song,And welcome thee, and wish thee long.

Love Poem # 1

I loved you first... (from Monna Innominata)

I loved you first: but afterwards your love,Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier songAs drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.Which owes the other most? My love was long,And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;I loved and guessed at you, you contrued meAnd loved me for what might or might not be—Nay, weights and measures do us both a wrong.For verily love knows not 'mine' or 'thine';With separate 'I' and 'thou' free love has done,For one is both and both are one in love:Rich love knows nought of 'thine that is not mine';Both have the strength and both the length thereof,Both of us, of the love which makes us one.

- Christina Rossetti -

Love Poem # 2

What I Love About You

I love the way you look at me,Your eyes so bright and blue.I love the way you kiss me,Your lips so soft and smooth.
I love the way you make me so happy,And the ways you show you care.I love the way you say, "I Love You,"And the way you're always there.
I love the way you touch me,Always sending chills down my spine.I love that you are with me,And glad that you are mine.

- Crystal Jansen -

Love Poem # 3

I dream of you, to wake... (from Monna Innominata)

I dream of you, to wake: would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on; Nor find with dreams the dear companion gone, As, Summer ended, Summer birds take flight. In happy dreams I hold you full in night. I blush again who waking look so wan; Brighter than sunniest day that ever shone, In happy dreams your smile makes day of night. Thus only in a dream we are at one, Thus only in a dream we give and take The faith that maketh rich who take or give; If thus to sleep is sweeter than to wake, To die were surely sweeter than to live, Though there be nothing new beneath the sun.

- Christina Rossetti -

Love Poem # 4

The Definition of Love

My Love is of a birth as rareAs 'tis for object strange and high:It was begotten by DespairUpon Impossibility.
Magnanimous Despair aloneCould show me so divine a thing,Where feeble Hope could ne'er have flownBut vainly flapped its Tinsel wing.
And yet I quickly might arriveWhere my extended soul is fixt,But Fate does iron wedges drive,And always crowds itself betwixt.
For Fate with jealous eye does seeTwo perfect Loves; nor lets them close:Their union would her ruin be,And her tyrannic power depose.
And therefore her decrees of steelUs as the distant Poles have placed,(Though Love's whole World on us doth wheel)Not by themselves to be embraced.
Unless the giddy Heaven fall,And Earth some new convulsion tear;And, us to join, the World should allBe cramped into a planisphere.
As lines so Loves oblique may wellThemselves in every angle greet:But ours so truly parallel,Though infinite can never meet. Therefore the Love which us doth bind,But Fate so enviously debars,Is the conjunction of the Mind,And opposition of the Stars.

- Andrew Marvell -

Love poem # 5

When You are Old

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 lookYour 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 fledAnd paced upon the mountains overheadAnd hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

- W. B. Yeats -

Love Poem # 6

Every Second Beat

If I had a thousand pages,I could never name them all,The reasons that I love you,For the list would be too tall.
I love you for the melody,I hear within your voice.The way your blue eyes hold me,A captive, but by choice.
I love you for your gentle hands,That melt away my pain.I love you for your loving heart,That made mine beat again.
I love you for your loving smile,With which my old heart soars.These are some of the reasons,Every second beat is yours.

- Mark Liverance -

Love Poem # 7

In Love

The day you appeared I lost my heartTo you, to love.And from that day I cannot partFrom you, from love.
You hold me tightTo you, to love.In my thoughts all day and nightOf you, of love.
I offer all that I have to giveTo you, to love.And all my days I want to liveWith you, in love.

- Amanda Marie Burson -

Love Poem # 8

Love in a Life

Room after room,I hunt the house throughWe inhabit together.Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her,Next time, herself!—not the trouble behind herLeft in the curtain, the couch's perfume!As she brushed it, the cornice-wreath blossomed anew,— Yon looking-glass gleamed at the wave of her feather.
Yet the day wears,And door succeeds door;I try the fresh fortune— Range the wide house from the wing to the centre.Still the same chance! she goes out as I enter.Spend my whole day in the quest,—who cares?But 'tis twilight, you see,—with such suites to explore,
Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune!

- Robert Browning -

Love Poem # 9

Inside Of Me

If you could see inside my soulsee inside my heartyou would know how I long for youwhenever we're apart
If you could see inside my headif thoughts were things to seeyou would know how I cherish youhow much you mean to me
In all the ways you comfort methe way you hold me nearthe way you know just what to doto chase away my fear
The sparkle in your beautiful eyesyour smile, laugh, your touchare just a few of many reasonsI love you oh so much
Knowing I can talk to youabout any and everythingand knowing together we will getthrough whatever life may bring
I could search the whole world overand this I know is trueI would never find another lovelike the love I found with you
Though with each new day, each sunrisewe can't know what's in storethere is one thing I know for sureeach day I love you more
So if you could see inside my headif thoughts were things to seeyou would know I blessed I feelto have you here with me

Love Poem # 10

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightMy soul can reach, when feeling out of sightFor the ends of being and ideal grace.I love thee to the level of every day'sMost quiet need, by sun and candle-light.I love thee freely, as men strive for right.I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.I love thee with the passion put to useIn my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.I love thee with a love I seemed to loseWith 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.

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning -
