Famous Love Poems in English

Absence

by: Amy Lowell (1874-1925)

My cup is empty to-night,
Cold and dry are its sides,
Chilled by the wind from the open window.
Empty and void, it sparkles white in the moonlight.
The room is filled with the strange scent
Of wistaria blossoms.
They sway in the moon’s radiance
And tap against the wall.
But the cup of my heart is still,
And cold, and empty.

When you come, it brims
Red and trembling with blood,
Heart’s blood for your drinking;
To fill your mouth with love
And the bitter-sweet taste of a soul.

Aftermath

Last night, we fled, close locked, in sweet embrace,
Across the empty kingdom men call “Space.”
So deep the solitude, I could but feel
Your fear within. It made my senses reel.
I clasped you closer, with encircling arm,
As though to shield you from impending harm
And like a zephyr, from the sun-kissed South,
I felt the pressure of your trembling mouth.

A flame shot through my soul, in that first kiss.
I was on fire. I knew no thought but this;
I loved you–mind, heart, body, brain and soul.
And had–since centuries first began to roll.
And when your melting mouth had answered mine,
Within your eyes, a new-born light divine
Proclaimed the wondrous miracle was done,
And our two souls had melted into one.
Oh! idiot Earth, to waste the dew of youth,
Along the borderlands of perfect truth!
Oh! dolts and dullards, with your feet of clay!
To shun the glorious light of perfect day!
In that first kiss, the past was all laid bare.
The future years, transparent as the air
In swift procession, swept across our path
And left me drunk, with love’s sweet aftermath.

When First I Loved

When first I loved, I gave my very soul
Utterly unreserved to Love’s control,
But Love deceived me, wrenched my youth away
And made the gold of life for ever Grey.
Long I lived lonely, yet I tried in vain
With any other Joy to stifle pain;
There is no other joy, I learned to know,
And so returned to Love, as long ago.
Yet I, this little while ere I go hence,
Love very lightly now, in self-defense.

Beauty

by: Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892)

Oh, Beauty, passing beauty! sweetest Sweet!
How canst thou let me waste my youth in sighs;
I only ask to sit beside thy feet.
Thou knowest I dare not look into thine eyes,
Might I but kiss thy hand! I dare not fold
My arms about thee—scarcely dare to speak.
And nothing seems to me so wild and bold,
As with one kiss to touch thy blessed cheek.
Methinks if I should kiss thee, no control
Within the thrilling brain could keep afloat
The subtle spirit. Even while I spoke,
The bare word KISS hath made my inner soul
To tremble like a lutestring, ere the note
Hath melted in the silence that it broke.

 

Best Love Poems In English


True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.

*******************************************

~~~~~~~~If Not For You~~~~~~~~

If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace;
I couldn’t be content.

If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasures of romance.
I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of love’s sweet, silly dance.

I have to feel your tender touch;
I have to hear your voice;
No other one could take your place;
You’re it; I have no choice.

If not for you, I’d be adrift;
I don’t know what I’d do;
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.

~~~~~~~~Best Friend~~~~~~~~

You’re the one who’s by my side
when no one else is there.
You’re the one I can always count on,
You always seem to care.

You help me through
the tough times,
and when I’ve lost all hope,
You cry with me at sad times,
and laugh at all my jokes.

You never seem to judge me
or ever put me down,
You put a smile on my face,

You’re better than a brother,
You’re more than just my boyfriend,
You have a special place in my heart,
That’s why your my Best Friend.

– By Stephanie

~~~~~~~~Paint Brush~~~~~~~~

I keep my Paint brush with me
wherever I may go,
in case I need to cover up
so the real me does not show.
I’m so afraid to show you me,
afraid of what you’ll do that
you might laugh or say mean things.
I’m afraid I might lose you
I’d like to remove all my paint coats
to show you the real, true me,
but I want you to try and understand.
I need you to accept what you see
so if you’ll be patient and close your eyes
I’ll strip off all my coats real slow-
please understand how much it hurts
to let the real me show.
Now my coats are all stripped off
I feel naked bare and cold
and if you still love me with all that you see
you are my friend pure as gold
I need to save my paint brush though
and hold it in my hand
I want to keep it handy
in case somebody doesn’t understand
so please protect me my dear friend
and thanks for loving me true
but please let me keep my paint brush with me
until I love me too.

*******************************************

~~~~~~~~Never Like This~~~~~~~~

I’ve held others before,
But it was never like this,
Where my body inhales you
And quivers with bliss,

Where my senses are reeling
From the strength of desire,
And if I can’t have you soon,
I’ll be consumed by the fire.

– By Karl Fuchs

*******************************************

~~~~~~~~Love Is Forever~~~~~~~~

We will always be in love
Even though your gone,
I have our kids
To help me carry on.
But my love for you
Is always in my heart,
No matter what happened
It didn’t tear us apart.
But I will tell you
Life is tough,
Not being able to touch you
Makes it really rough.
So the day we meet
I’ll hold you tight,
I’ll meet you honey
In the bright light.
So wait for me
Until then,
‘Cause my love will last
Forever on end!

*******************************************

~~~~~~~~A White Rose~~~~~~~~

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

– John Boyle O’Reilly

 

Famous Love Poems

I’ve been in darkness for so long just waiting for the light,
And now that you have come my way, my days don’t seem like nights.

I’m glad I’m finally overcome my fear of the other side,
Thank you for showing me the way, by taking me on this ride.

I’ve never really felt this way about a guy before,
You’ve truly touched me deep inside, you’ve opened, unlocked, the door.

I know it’s nothing serious, but surly it’s a start,
You’ve treated me so equally, I feel it in my heart.

And even if this does not work, I’m glad I’ve had this chance,
To see how great you truly are, even just for a glance.

We never know what’ll come of this, it really just depends,
I’m glad we’re taking the first step, we’re becoming better friends.

With you I never have to guess just how you really feel,
You talk to me about the facts and tell me what’s the deal.

With you I feel so comfortable, like nothing can go wrong,
I get this tingly feeling inside, you sing to me like a song.

The fact that you are older, really did freak me out,
But you treat me like I’m your age, now I’m rid of all my doubts.

I’m trying to live in the moment, by forgetting about the past,
And so far it’s been working, and it’s really been a blast.

So hopefully from this day forth, I’ll know just what to do,
If ever I come across a guy, another guy like you.

Love Poems For Him

Since the day we first met,
I knew it was love,
God answered my prayers,
you came down from above…

You gave me your heart,
and taught me to trust,
for the first time ever,
it was more than just lust…

Your sweet loving words,
are not to be compared,
I am forever your partner,
my soul I have bared…

Every day I wake up,
with a smile a mile long,
I know that we are solid,
I know that we are strong…

So never put into question,
my feelings being true,
because I have found my one and only,
And I will always love you.

 

Dosti karo to dhoka mat dena
dosto ko ansu ka tohfa mat dena
dil se roye koi tumhe yad karke
aisa kisi ko mouka mat dena
dosti to sirf itefak he
yeto dilo ki mulakat he
dosti nahi dekhati ye din he ki rat he
is meto sirf vafadari or jajbat he
dard kafi he jindgi ke liye
dost jaruri he jindgi ke liye
kon marta he kiske liye
ham to jinda he sirf aap jaise dost ke liye

***********************************************

~~~~~~~~Sab Se Chupa Kar Dard, Woh Jo Muskura Diya~~~~~~~~

Sab Se Chupa Kar Dard, Woh Jo Muskura Diya
Us Ki Hansi Ne Aaj To Mujh Rula Diya,

Lehje Se Uth Raha Tha, Har ik Dard Ka Dhuaan
Chehra Bata Raha Tha Ke Kuch Ganwa Diya,

Awaz Mein Thihrao Tha, Aankhoon Mein Nami Thi
Aur Keh Raha Tha Ke Mein Ne Sab Kuch Bhula Diya,

Jane Kiya Us Ko, Logon Se Thi Shikayatein
Tanhaiyon Ke Dais Mein Khud Ko Basa Diya,

Khud Bhi Woh Hum Se Bichar Kar, Adhura Sa Ho Gaya
Mujh Ko Bhi itne Logon Mein Tanha Bana Diya,

Sab Se Chupa Kar Dard, Woh Jo Muskura Diya
Us Ki Hansi Ne Aaj To Mujh Rula Diya.

***********************************************

Kisi na kisi pe kisi ko aetbaar ho jata hai,
Ajnabi koi shaks yaar ho jata hai,
Khubiyon se nahin hoti mohabbat sadaa,
Khamiyon se bhi aksar pyar ho jata hai.

Kin lafzon mein itni kadvi kasili baat likhoon,
Main sach likoon ke apne haalat likhoon,
Kaise likhoon main chandni raatein,
Jab garam ho ret to kaise main barsat likhoon.

Sabhi nagme saaz mein gaaye nahi jaate,
Sabhi lowg mehfil mein bulaaye nahi jaate,
Kuch paas reh kar bhi yaad nahi aate,
Kuch door reh kar bhi bhoolaye nahi jaate!

Who ik dost jo pyara sa lagta hain,
Bahut pass hai dil k phir bhi juda sa lagta hain,
Bahut dino se aaya nahi koi paigam uska,
Shayad kisi baat pe khafa sa lagta hain

Zindagi to ek khwab hai,
Woh zindagi kiya jismay khwab nahi hotay,
Hath ke lakiron ko kismat na samajhna,
Kismat unke bhi hote hai, zinkay hath nahi hotay.

 

I gently touched her hand: she gave
A look that did my soul enslave;
I pressed her rebel lips in vain:
They rose up to be pressed again.
Thus happy, I no farther meant,
Than to be pleased and innocent.

On her soft breasts my hand I laid,
And a quick, light impression made:
They with a kindly warmth did glow,
And swelled and seemed to overflow.
Yet, trust me, I no farther meant,
Than to be pleased and innocent.

On her eyes my eyes did stay:
O’er her smooth limbs my hands did stray;
Each sense was ravished with delight,
And my soul stood prepared for flight.
Blame me not if at last I meant
More to be pleased than innocent.

*************************************

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 thee with the 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.

******************************************

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Dragons fly south
to the mountains, WOO HOO!

Roses are Red
Sunflowers are Yellow
Konichiwa, Aloha
Good Morning, and Shalom

Roses are Red
Tulips are Pink
Go take a shower
You really do stink

Roses are Red
Daisies are White
You suck like your mom
Jump off a cliff and die.

**********************************************

~~~~~How do you know when you’re in love~~~~~

How do you know when you’re in love

is it the crazy things you do

is it the fact that my heart skips a beat

everytime that i think of you

Is it the fact that I can’t sleep at night

when your image is in my head

Or is it the fact that I can’t stop smiling

after every word that you’ve said

Is it the need to hold you in my arms

and keep you there forever

Or is it the fact that I wrote you a poem

and sent it to you in a letter

Is it this awful feeling deep inside

whenever I have to take you home

Or is it just being here without you

that makes me feel so alone

Is is this hunger deep inside

that longs for your kiss

I am so happy that I’m in love

for there are so many things I would miss.
