Love Poems
A Word to Husbands by Ogden Nash
To keep your marriage brimming With love in the loving cup, Whenever you’re wrong, admit it; Whenever you’re right, shut up. Can I keep you?by Mele Luhama Piutau
Lives are for living I live for you Dreams are for dreaming I dream for you Hearts are for beating mine beats for you Angels are for keeping. Can I keep you? |
To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet
If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee. If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can. I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, Or all the riches that the Eastt doth hold. My love is such that rivers cannot quench Nor ought but love from thee give recompense Thy love is such I can no way repay; The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. Then while we live, in love let’s so persever That when we live no more, we may live ever. |
Flirtationby Rita Dove
After all, there’s no need to say anything at first. An orange, peeled and quartered, flares like a tulip on a wedgewood plate Anything can happen. Outside the sun has rolled up her rugs and night strewn salt across the sky. My heart is humming a tune I haven’t heard in years! Quiet’s cool flesh— let’s sniff and eat it. There are ways to make of the moment a topiary so the pleasure’s in walking through. |
The Child In Himby Jean Gabor
I loved the child in him so innocent and sweet The mischief in his eyes the blush upon his cheek The tender way he spoke that showed me that he cared The touch of his warm hand that gently touched my hair The smiles that we shared that filled my life with glee For when I was with him I found the child in me Promiseby Carisa
Trying to go out of the past and find someone new is hard. You have to rebuild trust and honesty With someone new. But if you find the right someone the past hurt will disappear. Lucky for me I found that right someone. You made it so easy for me to forget my past. You picked up the pieces of my heart That was broken, and put them back with care. You let me know you will always be there for me and never hurt me. That's why I am making this promise – never stop loving you no matter what happens! |
Westron Wind
So I read this poem in a British literature class I took as a freshman in Kentucky. According to the professor, it's original author is unknown, and the poem was written in middle English. I somewhat romanticize it as by an anonymous knight who is en route to battle the French and misses his beloved.
Westron wind, when wilst thou blow
The cold rain down can rain Christ if my love were in my arms, And in my bed again! |
Westron wynde when wyll thow blow
the smalle rayne downe can Rayne Cryst yf my love were in my Armys And I yn my bed Agayne |
Twisted Roseby Judith Pordon
She was pursued by a throng of suitors, as his one shy rose wooed her with idling patience in tentative low gear, but when he accelerated, boastful, certainly sure, he flew preoccupied off an unseen curve and never returned. Now a sculpture of twisted petals dance in sardonic curves around a shrunken heart in a vase without water. |
i carry your heart with me by e.e. cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) |

POETRY can be defined many ways, can take many shapes, images, sounds, it can move you, inspire you, and anger you. No two poets are the same; sure their words can carry the same subject or motive at times, but poetry is unique to the writer and to the reader. Poetry is a journey, its an experience, it is a way of life. This is what poetry is to me. http://stephaniespoetrypage.weebly.com/poems-by-me.html

Be my Valentine
Contributed by: Jim
I think of you often...I do, From morning 'til evening I do, When memories bring laughter Or moments bring pain, There is faithfulness, too, once again. And time always shows me And God always shows me Both sunshine and rain, How, we gain yearly From the love we're share dearly. So, my dear, my sweet bubbaloo, Remember our love, dulce bubbaloo, For we've come so far and there's so much to come And I have love to yet give For the life we will live...together. Make little of what makes you cry, Be sure that what makes you cry Has greater desire and a more certain will To pray for His help from above and restore the feelings of love. So let's stir up our passion today, Let memories give way today, To the now and the future For the joys and hopes and for all The times my heart hears you call. I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I love you You love me fine Be my Valentine. |
Thank Heavens for Angels by Darien
Thank Heavens for Angels The skies are free from clouds, On this late Saturday evening. A boy sits hugging his knees, Enduring the cool October breeze. The ocean waves crash ashore, Beating against the rocks below. On this cliff standing tall, He prepares to take a fall. In love he is with a beautiful girl, Now to tell her how he feels. Panic bells ring around his ears, As day dreams bring him to tears. She found him sitting alone, Wondering if anything was wrong. A fake smile is all he could do, While contemplating an 'I love you' Before he could turn to speak, She hushed his quivering lips. Deep into his eyes she stared, And told him how much she cared. He apologizes to God in his mind, 'Sorry God, I'm stealing an angel' He can see Heaven in her eyes, It takes away all his butterflies. He manages to say 'I love you' She smiles and returns the words. He looks at the Heavens above, As he kisses his one true love. |
