127 Love Poems for Her

Let’s be honest, expressing love is not always easy. Sometimes you love her so deeply that ordinary words just don’t feel enough. You know what you feel, but when it’s time to write it out, it never comes out the way you feel in your heart. And buying a card? You don’t want to do that. 

Gottman says some habits weather the storms and it is these actions that can act as prevention when times get difficult. That’s why curated, heartfelt love poems can make all the difference. They give you the language your heart has been trying to form, while still leaving you room to personalize the message in your own voice. And when she reads it, she won’t just see words, she’ll feel the love, the thoughtfulness, and the effort behind it.

In this article, we’ll explore the love poems that help you speak directly to her heart, and each one comes with a brief note explaining why it is made just for her. If it is that you’re celebrating a new relationship, loving her from a distance, or simply reminding her how special she is, these poems will give you the perfect words. And if you’re still figuring out how long it can take to fall in love, this is a beautiful place to begin. Let’s get started.

Romantic Love Poems for Her

Now, let’s explore some romantic love poems that speak straight to her heart and capture the depth of what you feel. And if you’re trying to understand those butterflies you’re feeling, you can also explore the signs you’re falling in love.

  1. When You Are Old” by William Butler Yeats

                

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 look

Your 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 fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

  

This poem shows a kind of passionate love that lasts far beyond youth, beauty, or excitement. It speaks to a woman whose presence you hope to cherish for a lifetime. It suits her because it tells her even when everything fades, your love for her won’t.

Your kisses against my face.

Meet in her aspect and her eyes;

Thus mellowed to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

Byron praises a woman whose beauty feels effortless and serene. It suits her if you see her as elegant in both spirit and appearance. It tells her she is the perfect balance of gentleness, depth, and grace.

  1. “Meeting at Night” by Robert Browning

The grey sea and the long black land;

And the yellow half-moon large and low;

In fiery ringlets from their sleep,

As I gain the cove with pushing prow,

And quench its speed i’ the slushy sand.

A poem bursting with longing, movement, and desire. This suits her if thinking about her pulls you forward, if being with her feels like coming home after a long journey. It’s for the woman whose presence feels worth every distance.

  1. “To Celia” by Ben Jonson

Drink to me only with thine eyes,

And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss but in the cup,

And I’ll not look for wine.

The thirst that from the soul doth rise

Doth ask a drink divine;

But might I of Jove’s nectar sup,

I would not change for thine.

This poem is about admiration so deep that even her presence feels intoxicating. It suits her if she is the kind of woman whose smile, eyes, or voice makes everything else fade. It’s perfect for expressing admiration that feels pure and tender.

  1. “I carry your heart in me” by E.E Cummings

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 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)

A gentle masterpiece about emotional closeness. This suits her if she is woven into your daily life — your thoughts, choices, and quiet moments. It tells her she is not just loved; she is a part of your inner world.

Let’s move into the deeper expressions of love. Next are deep love poems for your wife – emotional, tender lines that can bring her to tears in the best way. They’re perfect if you’ve ever wondered how long it can take to fall in love and how that love deepens over time.

  1. “To My Wife” by Jerry Boettcher 

On this day, we said our vows.

Now is a time to say just how

Much I appreciate you.

God-crafted for me alone,

You’ve done so well to make our home

A place of nurture and love.

Smoothing out my obtuse corners,

You help to make our family warmer

To the people who surround us.

I love you as much as on day one,

Even though many years have gone

By in the blink of a moment.

I am so happy I have years more

To be with you and to adore…

You.

  1. “Lifeline” by Marcus Ditsworth 

Like a skydiver needs a parachute,

Like a singer needs to sing,

And God breathes life into all living things.

Like the water in the ocean

That all swimming creatures need to survive,

And a baby’s love for his mother,

Because there is a sparkle in her eye.

Like the sun shining on your face,

I swear there are angels on high.

This is how I see my love for you,

So now let me tell you why. You are my lifeline

So I can soar into new things

Just like an eagle that is gliding on his wings.

I want the light and the wheat

of your beloved hands

to pass their freshness over me once more.

I want to feel the smoothness

that changed my destiny. 

Neruda’s lines suit a wife because they place her touch at the center of your life and even your end. Asking for her hands at the moment of death is a way of saying her presence has reshaped your fate and made life whole. 

  1. “Love” by Justin Cauley

A million stars up in the sky

one shines brighter I can’t deny

A love so precious a love so true

a love that comes from me to you.

The angels sing when you are near

within your arms I have nothing to fear

You always know just what to say

just talking to you makes my day

I love you honey with all of my heart

together forever and never to part.

  1. “When I’m With You” by Blakelee

In your arms, I’m in my safe haven.

With you holding me tight, I have no other craving.

I tell you everything and never with a doubt,

You are the one that I’ll always be about.

It is a small, powerful reminder that love is a refuge as much as a romance. She’ll feel secure and treasured by the way the poem names her as your constant confidante.

  1. “All I Need” by Asher C. Childress

When I first saw you,

I saw perfection.

When I got to know you,

I saw pain.

When I started loving you,

I saw strength.

Now…all that I see

Is what means everything to me.

What I see

Is the strength to go on.

What I see

Is the courage to do anything.

What I see

Is the love to be around anyone.

What I see

Is everything I need.

  1. “Echo” by Christina Rossetti

Come to me in the silence of the night;

Come in the speaking silence of a dream;

Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright

As sunlight on a stream of crystal deem;

Come back in tears.

O memory, hope, love of finished years.

Oh dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet,

Whose wakening time is the forgetting time.

Oh memory, hope, love of finished years? 

Rossetti’s longing suits a wife because it gives voice to memory, grief, and the wish for return. The poem’s dreamlike plea (“Come to me in the silence of the night”) conveys how aching and tender love can be when it’s rooted in years of shared life. It will resonate with a wife who values emotional depth.

  1. “I Loved You First: But Afterwards Your Love” by Christina Rossetti 

I loved you first: but afterwards your love

Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier song

So no more do I love you than you love me?

O then, entwine your hands in mine,

And we’ll renew our love again.

 

This poem suits her because it tells of love that grows beyond its first spark into something mutual and higher. It asks for reconnection which fits a marriage that renews itself continually. A wife will feel moved by the humility and the invitation to renew the bond together.

  1. “Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines” by Pablo Neruda 

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example, ‘The night is starry and she is not with me.’

This time is the time to cry.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer

and these the last verses that I write for her. 

This is a raw, beautiful expression of love, loss, the ache of memory, and all the complex feelings a long relationship can hold. Its honesty about pain and remembrance makes it credible and deeply human. These lines will reach the heart and create an emotional release in the heart of a woman who has lived through sorrow. 

  1. “I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You” by Pablo Neruda 

I do not love you except because I love you;

I go from loving to not loving you,

From waiting to not waiting for you

My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it’s you the one I love;

I hate you deeply, and hating you

Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you

Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe it does not bother you,

But for me, it does.

Maybe your love remains fresh,

But as mine grows old,

I feel it fade away. 

This poem acknowledges which can feel truthful and intimate in marriage. She’ll sense that your love isn’t naive, it is mature, messy, and all the more real for it.

  1. “How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)” 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 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 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.

This poem suits her because it lists love in every register like spiritual, daily, sorrowful, joyous showing that your devotion fills every part of life. A wife will feel treasured by the poem’s full-bodied, lifelong commitment language.

  1. “To My Dear and Loving Husband” by Anne Bradstreet 

If ever two were one, then surely we.

If ever man were lov’d 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 east 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 persevere

That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Although written from a wife’s perspective historically, its spirit translates perfectly. It celebrates mutual devotion and the sacredness of marital love. Presenting it to your wife signals that you see the marriage as enduring and holy.

Good Morning Love Poems for Her

Now, let’s brighten her day with good morning love poems that make her feel cherished from the moment she wakes.

  1. “To Morning” by William Blake 

O holy virgin! clad in purest white,

Unlock heav’n’s golden gates, and issue forth;

Awake the dawn that sleeps in heaven; let light

Rise from the chambers of the east, and bring

The honey’d dew that cometh on waking day.

O radiant morning, salute the sun

Rous’d like a huntsman to the chase, and with

Thy buskin’d feet appear upon our hills.

This poem personifies morning as a holy virgin unlocking heaven’s gates to awaken dawn, bringing light and honeyed dew for renewal.  It suits her by evoking dawn’s pure, radiant arrival as a metaphor for her awakening beauty, infusing the day with hopeful energy and divine freshness.

  1. “Sonnet 33” by William Shakespeare 

Full many a glorious morning have I seen

Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye,

Kissing with golden face the meadows green,

Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;

Anon permit the basest clouds to ride

With ugly rack on his celestial face,

And from the forlorn world his visage hide,

Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace:

Even so my sun one early morn did shine,

With all triumphant splendour on my brow;

But out! alack! he was but one hour mine,

The region cloud hath mask’d him from me now.

    Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;

    Suns of the world may stain when heaven’s sun staineth.

Shakespeare compares a glorious morning sun, later clouded, to love’s triumphs and setbacks, affirming enduring affection despite flaws.  It fits her as a reassurance that her love shines triumphantly like the sun, masking any shadows with heavenly alchemy and steadfast devotion.

  1. “Bright Star” by John Keats

“Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art”

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art–

Not in lone splendor hung aloft the night

And watching, with eternal lids apart,

Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,

The moving waters at their priestlike task

Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

Of snow upon the mountains and the moors–

No–yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,

Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

And so live ever–or else swoon to death.

Keats wishes to be steadfast like a star, pillowed on his love’s breast, feeling her breath in eternal wakefulness or sweet death. This suits her by idealizing constant closeness amid nature’s calm, making her the unchanging anchor of bliss from morning’s first light. 

  1. “Lovely Morning” by Nisha Joshi

As the sun comes up, my love, arise

The sunbeams are pale before your bright eyes

When I look at you, my heart takes flight

When you are with me, everything feels right.

Good morning, my lovely, my wonderful bride

With you by my side, my worries subside

Your tousled hair and sleepy smile

Make me go that extra mile

.

The poem links sunrise to her bright eyes and sleepy smile, easing worries and affirming everything feels right with her. It brightens her day by personalizing dawn’s glow to her charm, celebrating her as the perfect bride who inspires extra effort.

  1. “The Sun has burst the sky” by Jenny Joseph 

The sun has burst the sky

Because I love you

And the river its banks.

The sea laps the great rocks

Because I love you

And takes no heed of the moon dragging it away

And saying coldly ‘Constancy is not for you’.

The blackbird fills the air

Because I love you

With spring and lawns and shadows falling on lawns.

The people walk in the street and laugh

I love you

And far down the river ships sound their hooters

Crazy with joy because I love you.

Nature bursts with joy solely because of love for her, defying constancy’s cold demands. It suits her by attributing the morning’s exuberance to her presence, turning ordinary skies into a personal celebration of passion. 

  1. “My Sunshine” by Anonymous 

Good morning to my favorite night owl.

I know you won’t wake up for a while,

But I hope you know,

You’re as beautiful asleep,

As in the daylight’s sunny glow.

  1. “Dream” by Craig Moon

Good Morning My Love

Good morning, Good morning my Love,

I know I just woke up,

But I want to tell you something,

as I drink my morning cup.

I really love YOU

I do? I do? I do!

Deep in the heart of me,

Nothing but You!

Today is beautiful,

And so are you!

  1. “Untitled poem” by Julie Martinez

You are not a premeditated list 

or a recipe of perfection

You are not a recorded inventory of adjectives 

that design a flawless human being

You are raw and flawed

A rainy day that forms a beautiful rainbow

An ugly sweater that warms my heart all-day

You are imperfect in every sense to the world 

and I love you twice as much for it.

She is raw, flawed like rainy rainbows or ugly sweaters that warm the heart, loved more for imperfections. It endears her by embracing realness over perfection, turning morning reflections into honest love.

I know what I would do:

I’d spend the time

In pleasure sublime,

Just by being with you.

All time would be spent in sublime pleasure just being with her. It fits by valuing her company above all, ideal for mornings craving shared eternity. 

  1. “My Melody” by Eric Pribyl

Not a flower or a tree.

Much prettier than that,

Right down to the core.

Filling me with happiness,

And so much more.

She outshines flowers or trees, filling with core-deep love, happiness, and more. This celebrates her unique prettiness and caring nature, suiting her as morning’s incomparable melody.

 

  1. “Dawn” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Refreshed by his long sleep, the Light

Kisses the languid lips of Night,

Ere she can rise and hasten on.

  1. “I Love The Blush of Early Morn” by William B. Tappan

That beams with rosy hue;

When sparkling o’er the verdant lawn,

It gems the crystal dew.

‘Tis then I muse on Mary’s smile,

That dimpling bright and fair,

My sorrow always can beguile,

And charm each latent care.

This ties morning’s blush to her charming smile, perfect for easing her into a care-free day. 

Heartfelt Love Poems for Her

Some emotions sit too close to the heart to be spoken plainly. In other words, they need poetry. These heartfelt love poems help say what the soul has been holding, especially when you’re craving real intimacy in relationships beyond surface-level words.

  1. “Yours” by Daniel Hoffman 

I am yours as the summer air at evening is 

Possessed by the scent of linden blossoms, 

As the snowcap gleams with light 

Lent it by the brimming moon. 

Without you I’d be an unleaded tree

Blasted in a bleakness with no Spring.

This poem suits her because it describes the kind of love that transforms everything around it. Hoffman uses imagery like moonlit snow and summer air to show how love softens life and makes it feel whole. It tells her that without her, life would feel empty, barren, and without renewal but with her, everything blooms again. It speaks to a woman who brings warmth, healing, and meaning into your life.

  1. “A Love Song for Lucinda” by Langston Hughes 

Love

Is a high mountain 

Stark in a windy sky.

If you 

Would never lose your breath 

Do not climb too high.

This poem tells her that she is the kind of love worth losing your breath for, the kind of love that asks you to rise higher than comfort. A wife would feel honored to be described as a love that is awe-inspiring rather than ordinary.

  1. “Rondel of Merciless Beauty” by Geoffery Chaucer

Upon my word, I tell you faithfully

Through life and after death you are my queen;

For with my death the whole truth shall be seen.

Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly;

Their beauty shakes me who was once serene;

Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen.

It suits a woman who leaves you speechless, someone whose presence shakes you out of your calm. It’s perfect if you want her to know that even after everything you’ve been through, her presence still hits you with the force of first love.

  1. “Flirtation” by Rita Dove

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!

Dove shows how even ordinary moments (night falling, a tune in the heart) turn magical when you’re in love. It tells her she still makes your heart hum in ways you didn’t expect. It reminds her that romance isn’t lost just because life gets busy.

  1. “Lines Depicting Simple Happiness” by Peter Gizzi

About you there is nothing I wouldn’t want to know 

With you nothing is simple yet nothing is simpler

About you many good things come into relation.

This poem suits her because it celebrates truly seeing her. The poet talks about wanting to know everything about the person he loves. It tells her she is interesting, layered, and worth deep attention.

  1. “Camomile Tea” by Katherine Mansfield 

We might be fifty, we might be five,

So snug, so compact, so wise are we!

Under the kitchen-table leg

My knee is pressing against his knee.

Our shutters are shut, the fire is low,

The tap is dripping peacefully;

The saucepan shadows on the wall

Are black and round and plain to see.

This poem suits her because it cherishes two people simply being together. It reflects the comfort of love that has matured into friendship, safety, and ease. It reminds her that the best part of love is often the simplest– knees touching, a warm room, and peace.

  1.  “Love is Not a Word” by Riyas Qurana

Amidst all this 

I keep a falling flower in the mid-air

Not to fall on the earth 

Is it not up to you who search for it

To come and sit on it

And make love?

Don’t forget to bring the word

Darling 

When you come.

This poem suits her because it communicates that love is more than what we say. The image of a falling flower being held mid-air shows how fragile love can be, yet how beautiful it becomes when two people meet halfway. It fits a woman who wants love that is intentional.

  1. “Sonnet 116” by William Shakespeare 

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds, 

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark.

This poem expresses loyalty of the highest kind of love that does not shake even when circumstances change. It’s the perfect reassurance for a wife. It tells her that she is your constant, your anchor in a shifting world.

  1. “Sonnet 130” by William Shakespeare 

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she believed with false compare. 

This suits a woman who values honesty, comfort, and being loved exactly as she is, without pressure to perform perfection.

  1. “Love’s Philosophy” by Percy Bysshe Shelly

The fountains mingle with the river

And the rivers with the ocean, 

The winds of heaven mix forever

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single;

All things by a law divine

In one spirit meet and mingle

Why not I with thine?

It suggests that being together is not just romantic but simply meant to be. It works for her if the relationship feels destined or if you want to remind her that your lives fit together with ease and purpose.

  1. “Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal” by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;

Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;

Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font.

The firefly wakens; waken thou with me. 

Now drops the milk-white peacock like a ghost,

And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.

The world slows down, everything softens, and he calls his lover to “waken” with him. It suits a woman who appreciates romance that feels poetic and sensual, inviting her into a private world built just for the two of you.

  1. “Habitation” by Magaret Atwood 

at the back where we squat 

outside, eating popcorn

the edge of the receding glacier

where painfully and with wonder

at having survived even

this far

we are learning to make fire.

Atwood shows two people “learning to make fire” after everything they’ve endured. It suits a wife or partner who has walked through challenges with you. It honors how far you’ve come together and how you’re still choosing each other.

I Love You Poems

When I love you feels too small for everything you feel; poetry steps in to fill the space. Here are poems that say the words with depth, beauty, and intention, and that is the same way thoughtful love quotes for her capture emotion in just a few lines.

  1. “I Love You” by Adrian Jackson 

My love for you will never fade. 

With both our feelings combined is how love is made. 

You give me the strength to stand up tall. 

You reach out for my hand every time I’m about to fall. 

There is not a day you’re not on my mind.

When you smile,

The despair and troubles seem so far away,

When you smile,

The hope and cheers seem only a stone’s throw away.

When you smile,

My heart belongs to you,

when you smile,

The whole world belongs to you.

I expect you. I thought one night it was you

at the base of the drive, you at the foot of the stairs

the retreating shadow of a fox, daybreak.

  1. “Missing You” by Ritika Jain

The nights feel colder and

the wind echoes your absence,

Days longer, air quieter,

nothing seems to make sense,

My thoughts consumed,

thinking of our time

that slipped through my fingers,

Hoping to find you in every face I see,

my gaze often lingers.

In any moment, I find happiness,

I wish I could share it with you,

anywhere I look at or anything I do.

You whisper in my dreams 

when quiet takes hold,

You lay in everything I quote,

Even the ones that are left untold.

Each day, the reminders of you

makes me feel more alive,

It’s the ache of your longing 

that tells me love could be this naive.

Nights chill, days drag without sense, yet her essence lingers in dreams, quotes, and reminders that heighten life through longing’s ache. It connects with her by transforming painful absence into vivid aliveness, celebrating naive love’s persistence everywhere.

When the waves stop rushing

toward the shore,

and the deserts cry,

when the sun turns cold

and the moon splits into two

missing you.

turns to pain because we’re apart,

and the dream that you were suddenly here.

The moments we spend together are few,

I miss you…

I miss you more than the moon which glows…

I miss you more than days that pass…

Allowing us to be in this awful separation…

I promised to never leave you…

I promised to stay by your side…

Now I’m the one who is alone…

  1. “I Miss You” by Ronald J. Chapman

Moonlight in front of my eyes,

An empty bed awaits for me to blow out the candles, 

My nights are always the same,

My heart aches, missing you,

My love can not be shared,

My wife, living alone without you,

Sleeping in a lonely bed,

Dreams of sleeping under warm blankets, 

Moonbeams caressing your lips, 

Moonbeams guiding us through our dreams, 

Missing you while laying in the cold bed alone,

Missing watching you breathe; laying next to me, 

Missing seeing you at sunrise,

I miss you; I miss you, my love.

I have grown close to you,

Like you’ve grown close to me,

Everytime I am away from you,

It feels like time has completely stopped.

The progression clarifies boundless, pervasive growth of affection, assuring her she’s the constant in every moment, making distance feel timelessly unbearable

  1. “Missing You” by Kathryn Brookins

I think of you often, more than I should, 

thinking about how you held me in a way only you could 

I miss you so much, it may be unhealthy as much as I do,

but my life is just empty without you.

Frequent overthinking of her singular holding way intensifies missing to unhealthy levels, leaving life utterly empty without her.

  1. “I Miss You” by Shafee Pitafi

Your sound rings in my eardrums, 

I miss you in all terms.

Your unconditional love now despises me.

It too gave birth to thorough love inside me.

Once,

It made me kip restless, 

I’m still sleepless.

Your love murmurs in my heart,

For you, all the beats have my heart.

Her sound echoes in ears, missing spans all terms; past unconditional love now births deeper heart-murmurs, sleeplessness, and devoted beats.

  1. “Missing You” by Belinda Ward

I miss you,

I miss your smile.

I miss your face.

I miss your embrace.

But please don’t stay away too long or I will feel broken without you.

Full

Can you feel me?

slipping out of the sky

Entwine your fingers with mine

Give me something to hold

Something to hope

Safely into your embrace

Catch me

Catch me before I slip

As I sit here all alone.

Long distance love, do you recall?

The times it seemed we had it all,

The times we thought would never end,

But now I need more than a friend,

Everything could be so right,

If you would just come home tonight.

How much you really mean to me,

Sometimes it seems to be my fate,

To have to sit at home and wait,

But if this is what I have to do,

I will always be here for you.

To feel your touch and see your smile.

For all the ways you’ll show me how.

O my love, I long to be with you,

O my love, words will never express,

The feelings I have for you inside,

I’ll give my all, just to be with you,

being in your arms, safe and sound,

to see your tender smile again.

Holding me softly, with your tender touch,

being ever so close and never apart.

  1. “Miles Apart” by Catherine Pulsifer

Even though we are miles apart

I think of you and keep you in my heart.

Always make me feel glad.

I will be happy when you are back in my arms

I miss your smile and your charms

A day away from you

Always makes me feel blue

And now you are away for awhile

I find it hard just to smile.

But may my poems remind you

Of my love which is so true.

Thoughts keep her heart-bound amid glad memories, it comforts her with joyful recalls and forward glances, framing separation as temporary blues before smiles return. 

  1. “Thinking About You” by Gary R. Hess

When I ate today at noon

All I could think about was you

Wishing you were here to do what you do

Wishing I could feed you with my spoon

Hoping someday I’ll see your smile again

I don’t know if I can take all this pain

Knowing that I am here and you are there

Thinking about the times we had and will not have

You are the best there ever was and will be

There is nothing to explain you, but lovely

Even when I was sad you made me happy

I just don’t know what to do

I just hope one day, I get to see you.

Everyday intrusions of her make her feel omnipresent, turning mundane pains into testaments of singular joy she brings.

If you’re still discovering her, still smiling at every message, these poems give voice to everything you’re too shy or too stunned to say.

  1. “Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven” by W.B. Yeats

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Yeats compares his dreams to something delicate and sacred, then lays them “under your feet.” In new relationships, people are often afraid to give too much, yet they want to. The line “tread softly because you tread on my dreams” captures the fragile hope of someone falling deeply, maybe too deeply, too soon.

  1. “Love Comes Quietly” by Robert Creely 

Love comes quietly,

finally, drops

about me, on me,

in the old ways.

What did I know

thinking myself

able to go

alone all the way.

New love doesn’t arrive loudly. This poem is perfect for couples still discovering each other, where the love has not exploded… It has settled, quietly and beautifully.

  1. “Love is anterior to life” by Emily Dickinson 

Love—is anterior to Life—

Posterior—to Death—

Initial of Creation, and

The Exponent of Earth—

Dickinson captures love as something bigger than time, bigger than the couple, bigger than the moment. In a new relationship, everything feels spiritually significant. This poem gives love as a force that existed before you were born and will remain after you’re gone.

  1. “Amores (Ii)” by E.E. Cummings 

there is a 

moon sole 

in the blue 

night 

             amorous of waters 

tremulous, 

blinded with silence the 

undulous heaven yearns where 

in tense starlessness 

anoint with ardor 

the yellow lover 

stands in the dumb dark 

svelte 

and 

urgent 

           (again 

love i slowly 

gather 

of thy languorous mouth the 

thrilling 

flower)

It’s the poem for someone who is falling, deeply, unexpectedly, beautifully. The poem is sensual but in a soft, artistic way.

  1. “Heart to Heart” by Rita Dove 

It’s neither red

nor sweet.

It doesn’t melt

or turn over,

break or harden,

so it can’t feel

pain,

yearning,

regret.

It doesn’t have 

a tip to spin on,

it isn’t even

shapely—

just a thick clutch

of muscle,

lopsided,

mute. Still,

I feel it inside

its cage sounding

a dull tattoo:

I want, I want—

but I can’t open it:

there’s no key.

I can’t wear it

on my sleeve,

or tell you from

the bottom of it

how I feel. Here,

it’s all yours, now—

but you’ll have

to take me,

too.

New love makes people want to communicate deeply but also exposes how hard it is to say everything. Dove’s poem is about wanting to express love fully, yet struggling to find the words. It fits new relationships because the heart in the poem is imperfect, real, and honest.

  1. “Bird Understander” by Craig Arnold

These are your own words

your way of noticing

and saying plainly

of not turning away

from hurt

you have offered them 

to me    I am only 

giving them back 

if only I could show you

how very useless 

they are not.

This is ideal for a new relationship because it reflects the emotional attunement of that beautiful early moment when you discover you’re safe in someone’s presence. The poem celebrates someone who notices you deeply.

  1. “Always For the First Time” by André Breton 

There is a silk ladder unrolled across the ivy

There is

That leaning over the precipice 

Of the hopeless fusion of your presence and absence 

I have found the secret 

Of loving you

Always for the first time.

It captures the magic of always rediscovering someone. Breton’s surreal style mirrors the feeling of being overwhelmed by someone’s presence. It is perfect for couples who are still amazed that they found each other.

  1. “Untitled” by Christopher Poindexter

I miss you even when you

are beside me. 

I dream of your body

even when you are sleeping

in my arms.

The words I love you

could never be enough.

In new love, the desire to be near them, touch them, and feel connected never switches off. The poem fits her because it shows how deeply she affects him. Even when she’s right there, he still misses her.

  1. “Sonnet 116” by William Shakespeare 

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds, 

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

Even though it describes long-term commitment, it is powerful in new relationships because it reassures her that what he feels is not shallow or temporary.

  1. “Sonnet 75” Edmund Spencer 

One day I wrote her name upon the strand, 

But came the waves and washed it away:

Again I wrote it with a second hand, 

But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.

Writing her name on the sand symbolizes wanting to immortalize a feeling that still feels new, delicate, and precious. It suits a new relationship because it expresses I want this to last longer than time itself.

Tips to Personalize These Poems For Her

Here are practical, simple, and romantic tips to help you personalize any of the poems so they feel written specifically for her. Communication is key.

1. Make it personal through language and style. 

Match the poem’s tone to her personality and your relationship to express why and how you love her. It makes your poem lighthearted and memorable. Use a tone that she appreciates, tailor the tone of the poem to what makes her smile or feel loved.

2. Personalize the poems

Poems for her should incorporate personal details. Use specific traits, habits, or moments unique to her that you cherish ( her laughter, a shared inside joke). Women love it when you pick up on small, personal things.

3. Use her love language

Match the poem with what she values most. It speaks to her heart exactly where it understands best.

  • Words of affirmation ( Add praise or send a thoughtful goodnight love message)
  • Acts of service (Add how you want to care for her)
  • Giving Gifts (Reference something sentimental)
  • Quality time (Mention moments spent)
  • Physical touch (Mention closeness)

4. Reference a future you’re looking forward to

It doesn’t have to be marriage-level, just something you genuinely anticipate. It shows intentionality and emotional investment.

5. Tell her one way she makes your days better. 

Add her impact on your life. Women value knowing the difference they make. Paint pictures with descriptive language that evoke her personality and your feelings, making the poem feel more genuine. Visualize her in your words. For instance, you could send a good morning message to make her feel special. 

6. Highlight her unique features

Make reference to something about her, such as her smile or a particular gesture, to make her feel seen and appreciated. She feels seen beyond physical beauty when you make use of specific attributes. 

7. Use figurative language to spice it up. 

Employ metaphors, similes, or symbolism that concretize your feelings and make your poem stand out. Use imagery that embodies her essence, such as her favorite flowers, character traits, or shared moments.

8. Be genuine in your feelings

Avoid overly dramatic or exaggerated language to keep the poem sincere and touching. You can end with a line that sounds like something you would actually say. 

9. Present the poem beautifully

Use a handwritten note or a special card to add a personal touch when sharing. Avoid handling it carelessly, as that could be a sign you’re not in love with her. 

Final Thoughts

At the end of everything, love is really about how a person makes your life feel easier, softer, and brighter without forcing it. It’s the calm she brings, the peace she gives, and the way your heart just rests when she is around.

If these poems feel true, then it means you’ve found someone whose presence makes your world make sense, and that kind of love is rare, simple, and worth holding on to.
