from the earth lives dimly in my body.

so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.

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.

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.

How love came in, I do not know,
Whether by the eye, or ear, or no;

(At first) infused with the same.

As any other, this can tell:
That when from hence she does depart
The outlet then is from the heart.

just how truly special you are,
that even on the darkest nights
You are my brightest star.

to love and the wonders it can do.

something very hard to find:
unconditional love that exists
in my body, soul, and mind.
I don’t think you could ever feel
all the love I have to give,
And I’m sure you’ll never realize
You’ve been my will to live.

38. From the dry by Karen Frazier
From the dry, parched earth, sweet peas bloom
Each breath I take draws me closer to you
Honeyed umber scents in the warm summer air
Your hand tangled carelessly in the length of my hair
Salt, sweet, and sunshine, I taste in your kiss
Sun-dappled ripeness that promises bliss
Sweet peas grow taller; their stems intertwine
Surround us completely then wither on the vine
The sun falls into shadows, and the wind starts to blow
Pliant lips meeting mine grow tasteless and cold
Eyes once brilliant match the slate of the sky
I am swallowed by Earth as you start to fly
With a gasp, I awaken and reach out to find
Only the cold pillow you’ve left behind
My dreams remind me that we’re far apart
Though distance divides us, you’re always in my heart
And with your return come happier days
Where sweet peas bloom in the warmth of love’s rays.

So cold and cruel that I could scream.

Together we laugh, without fear.
With each wild step, our love will grow,
In this whimsical dance, forever we’ll know.

44. Dinner dates by Amy Finley
Dinner dates, walks in the park
Neither of us knew
quite what to say.
Your hand in mine, a beautiful start
I don’t know about tomorrow,
But we have today.
This poem suits him because it explains those quiet, early moments that felt soft but unforgettable. It shows how even the simplest things with him feel meaningful, capturing the honesty of starting something new and real.
I was flying around,
Lost in the clouds.
Not knowing how
To make my way out.
Then you appeared,
You soared your way near.
My fear disappeared,
And the skies seemed to clear.
This poem suits him because he walked into your life at a moment you didn’t even realize you needed someone. He brought ease, clarity, and unexpected comfort. It reflects how he turned confusion into calm simply by being there.
Here are practical ways to make these poems feel personal and heartfelt. These tips ensure each verse shows the love and connection between you and your partner:
Consider the moments that only the two of you share, like a late-night conversation, a private joke, or a favorite spot you visit together. Adding lines inspired by these memories makes the poem uniquely yours rather than a generic love note. When he reads it, he’ll smile, knowing the poem captures your real-life connection.
Focus on the traits that make him who he is— his laughter or his strength. Mentioning these in your poem transforms it from a general love note into something personal. When he reads it, he’ll feel recognized, appreciated, and truly seen.
Consider where you both are in your journey together. New love calls for hope and excitement, while a long-term bond may celebrate comfort and gratitude. Adapting the poem’s tone ensures it feels genuine and resonates with your current connection. This alignment makes your words more heartfelt and relatable to him.
Add imagery that carries meaning for both of you, like your favorite flower or an inside joke. These small symbols connect big emotions to the everyday moments you treasure together. They make the poem feel uniquely crafted for him, turning it into a personal and memorable gift.
Consider giving him a handwritten version of the poem, leaving it where he’ll find it, or read it aloud to him. Over time, revisit and tweak the lines to reflect your growing bond and evolving love. This way, the poem becomes a living piece of your love, not just a one-time moment.
Love poems have a way of expressing feelings that words alone sometimes cannot. From playful and funny verses to deeply romantic and unconditional expressions, these poems convey the many shades of love, offering ways to make your partner feel cherished and understood.
They celebrate everything from the early excitement of a new relationship to the enduring bond of a long-term love, and even the challenges of distance, showing that affection can be shared in countless heartfelt ways, and for moments when your emotions deepen, recognizing the signs you’re falling in love can make your poems resonate even more.
Personalizing these poems can make them even more special. Adding small details about your shared experiences, inside jokes, or specific traits you adore brings the words to life, and understanding how long it can take to fall in love can help you express your feelings at the right pace.
Whether it’s a simple note, a card, or a late-night message, these poems serve as a timeless way to say “I love you” and strengthen the connection between you and your partner, keeping the bond of your relationship alive.
