1. For Us
Don’t want it to pass,
Don’t want to let it go.
Hope it will last till my last breath
And stay with me till the last moment.
My skin craves your touch.
The racing of heart and the calmness around,
Mellow voices of beating heart
What does it say?
Let the rest of the world fall apart.
Kiss me slow and stay still.
Look at me with eyes shut.
We are all we need.
-Unknown
Forces of the Universe
Call it magic or mystery of the universe.
But like the earth rotating around the sun,
My heart yearns for yours.
Like the very laws that guide, I’m writing down the words,
Guided by the forces of the universe.

3. In Her Eyes
In her eyes, I saw what a thousand future holds.
In her eyes, my day calls for joy.
In her eyes, the moon shines bright.
In her eyes, even the oceans make their wishes.
In her eyes, lies the desire for love.
In her eyes, I see two luminous stars.

Hold Your Head High
Don’t stop smiling,
Hide the tears in your eyes.
Don’t stop smiling,
Shine like a star in a gloomy sky.
Don’t stop smiling,
Hold your head high.

I Carry Your Heart With Me
I carry your heart with me (I carry it inmy heart)
I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is you’re doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
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
(ere 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)
– E. E. Cummings
A Red, Red Rose
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love 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 love 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,
Though it were ten thousand mile.
– Robert Burns
Before You Came
Before you came,
Things were as they should be:
The sky was the dead-end of sight,
The road was just a road, wine merely wine.
Now everything is like my heart,
A color at the edge of blood:
The grey of your absence, the color of poison, of thorns,
The gold when we meet, the season ablaze,
The yellow of autumn, the red of flowers, of flames,
And the black when you cover the earth
With the coal of dead fires.
And the sky, the road, the glass of wine?
The sky is a shirt wet with tears,
The road a vein about to break,
And the glass of wine a mirror in which
The sky, the road, the world keep changing.
Don’t leave now that you’re here—
Stay. So the world may become like itself again:
So the sky may be the sky,
The road a road,
And the glass of wine not a mirror, just a glass of wine.
– Faiz Ahmed Faiz
When I Die I Want Your Hands On My Eyes
When I die I want your hands on my eyes:
I want the light and the wheat of your beloved hands
To pass their freshness over me one more time
To feel the smoothness that changed my destiny.
I want you to live while I wait for you, asleep,
I want for your ears to go on hearing the wind,
For you to smell the sea that we loved together
And for you to go on walking the sand where we walked.
I want for what I love to go on living
And as for you I loved you and sang you above everything,
For that, go on flowering, flowery one,
So that you reach all that my love orders for you,
So that my shadow passes through your hair,
So that they know by this the reason for my song.
– Pablo Neruda
Short Poems To Make Her Feel Special
Expressing true feelings of love in short rhymes is exciting. Don’t wait for Valentine’s Day. You can make her feel special by sharing these short poems at any time.
Her Smile
A smile is such a lovely thing, especially upon your face;
Hiding all the sorrows or simply taking their place.
A kindly spoken word means so much when from you,
It comforts my weary heart or when I’m feeling blue.
A song can make our hearts dance in pretty fast-paced clips
When we hear the melody of our loves’ unconquerable grips.
Words could lift my spirits and sweet compassion find;
Put your hand in mine alone, and peace will fill my mind.
A smile, a word, a song, a look – seem small little things
But when love sparks an action, what blessings they bring!
– Michael Rodney Attoh
One Day I Wrote Her Name Upon the Strand
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.
"Vain man," said she, "that dost in vain assay,
A mortal thing so to immortalize;
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eke my name be wiped out likewise."
"Not so," (quod I) "let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name
Where when as death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.
– Edmund Spenser
Another Valentine
Today we are obliged to be romantic
And think of yet another Valentine.
We know the rules, and we are both pedantic.
Today’s the day we have to be romantic.
Our love is old and sure, not new and frantic.
You know I’m yours, and I know you are mine.
And saying that has made me feel romantic,
– Wendy Cope
I Loved You
I loved you, and I probably still do,
And for a while, the feeling may remain.
But let my love no longer trouble you,
I do not wish to cause you any pain.
I loved you, and the hopelessness I knew,
The jealousy, the shyness – though in vain –
Made up a love so tender and so true
As may God grant you to be loved again.
– Alexander Pushkin
For Her
Thoughts of you surround me.
You’re the beating of my heart.
The love you give defines me.
My life is no longer dark.
You give your hand so sweetly.
I am lost if you’re away.
You have me so completely.
I cherish you night and day.
Without your breath, I cannot live.
I need your lips on mine.
Nothing at all I wouldn’t give.
I’ll take nothing and be fine.
– Jamie Emm
Love Sonnet
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
Your hands the color of a savage harvest,
Hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
The sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
And I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
Hunting for you, for your hot heart,
Like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.
– Pablo Neruda
• Yours
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 unleafed tree
Blasted in a bleakness with no Spring.
Your love is the weather of my being.
What is an island without the sea?
– Daniel Hoffman

If I'd Never Met You
If I'd never met you,
I wouldn't feel the pain
Of losing your sweet love;
I wouldn't feel insane.
But if I'd never met you,
I wouldn't know the pleasure
Of ecstasy's warm gifts
And memories to treasure.
Now moving on with life,
I force a wistful grin,
Questioning what went wrong,
Wondering what might have been.
By Joanna Fuchs
There is surprising demand for "love hurts" poems and breakup love poems, such as this broken heart poem.
Farewell My Love
Is it really true our love is over now?
Can it be time for us to say goodbye?
Too soon, it's much too soon, my love, for me;
You smile with ease, but I can only sigh.
We've shared our lives and given so much love;
I can't believe we're really going to part;
You're moving toward a new life without me;
I'm left with scars upon my broken heart.
Go on now, if you must; I'll get along;
How much it hurts, I don't want you to know.
I'll set you free without inducing guilt,
But as you leave, the silent tears will flow.
I can't be mad; I love you way too much;
I'll hide my sadness now, so you can't tell.
Sweet happiness is what I wish for you;
Farewell my love, I hope that you fare well.

on the main Love Poems page
Sad love poems express feelings of loss. This lost love poem could apply after a divorce or breakup or even a death.
You Were My Everything
You were my everything;
Now you're gone.
I don't have the strength
To carry on.
Skies always seemed sunny
When you were here;
Now there's nothing but gloom
In my atmosphere.
I loved you so much;
You were all I had;
Now my whole world
Is depressing and sad.
I'd like to start feeling
Other than blue,
But you were my everything,
By Joanna Fuchs
Is this sad state what lost love feels like?
Sad love poetry can describe what's going on in a relationship, as this sad love poem does.
Is This What Love Is?
Is this all we have together?
Is this what love really is,
Yelling through a quarrel
And making up with a kiss?
Why can't we get along?
Why do we have to fight?
We starve true love by day
And feed lust all through the night.
I wish we'd settle down;
I wonder where peace went.
Why do we pick at each other;
Why can't we be content?
If this is what love is,
If tenderness has flown,
I'm thinking more and more,
It's better to be alone.
By Joanna Fuchs
What do you do after a loved one is gone? This sad love poem addresses that question.
Be A Memory
My life is different now.
I like it; some of it.
Much more time, lots of freedom,
but you
keep wandering into my thoughts.
I feel a pang, a little stab of pain,
when I think of the good times,
even the not-so-good times.
I really want to own this new life.
Could you just be a memory?
Please?

Sad love poetry can describe an ongoing, unsatisfactory relationship, as this short sad love poem does.
Is It Enough?
When we converse, it's just surface stuff;
We say some words, but is it enough?
We get along; we rarely fight,
But where is the spark, the joy, the delight?
We're settled into the same routine;
Sometimes I'd like to flee this scene.
Everything's easy; we don't have it rough,
But sometimes I wonder: Is it enough?

In A Daze
I walk around in a daze...
my hollowed out interior
filled with smoky gloom,
choking off all joy.
Just as life begins to clear,
I gasp aloud at the realization,
you're not here;
you never will be again.
I wilt like a waterlily
in the desert.
I walk around in a daze...

More Sad Love Poems
Unrequited love poems are among the saddest of sad love poems, as this one is.
If Raindrops Were Tears
If raindrops were tears
And it rained every day,
The rain couldn't wash
My heartache away.
You're still my ideal;
My love never dies,
But it cuts to the bone--
What I see in your eyes.
You want me to stop;
You want to be friends,
But you'll be my true love
Until breath and life ends.
By Joanna Fuchs
Sad love poetry can express feelings of pain and insanity, as this sad love poem does.
Now That You're Gone
Now that you're gone, I realize
How much you meant to me.
My loss is wide as a starless night sky,
And deep as a stormy sea.
I miss the comfort of your sweet love,
Your absolute devotion;
Now I'm a fountain of endless tears,
A pool of sad emotion.
They tell me I should move on with life,
That time will heal my pain;
I smile and nod and agree with them,
While I slowly go insane.
By Joanna Fuchs
My best sad love poem is this lost love poem. It's kind of an apology, so I guess it could be considered a sorry love poem.
If Only
If only I had done the things
That keep true love alive,
I wouldn't have to acknowledge now
That our love cannot survive.
If only I had described to you
The joy you brought to me,
Instead of bringing you complaints,
You wouldn't have set me free.
If I had touched you, kissed you, Love,
If I had loved you stronger,
If I had appreciated you,
We would have lasted longer.
If I had often said to you,
"It's you whom I adore,"
Perhaps you'd still be with me now,
If I had told you more.
If only I had treated you
As if we were best friends,
I wouldn't be alone in grief,
As our faded love finally ends.
If only I didn't have to say,
"If only, my love, if only,"
I wouldn't be all by myself
So sorry, sad and lonely.
By Joanna Fuchs
This is a sad love poem to which many disappointed lovers can relate.
Time to Say Goodbye
My heart is breaking in me;
It's still you whom I adore;
My tears are overflowing:
You don't love me anymore.
I sleepwalk through each day;
I pray to heaven above,
Hoping you'll change your mind,
But I know I've lost your love.
I wish that things were different;
I wish it were the way it was,
But reality has no pity;
It just happens the way it does.
Will I ever feel any better,
With days when I don't cry?
No matter what, it's time to say
Goodbye, my love, goodbye.
By Joanna Fuchs
Nothing Left to Lose
I don't know what to do
To get me back to you.
I've got nothing left to lose;
I'm sadness, tears and blues.
All bridges have been crossed;
I guess our love is lost.
By Joanna Fuchs
Lots of people are searching for a prayer for love, and I think it belongs on the sad love poems page. Here it is.
A Prayer for Love
I'm praying to you, dear Lord above
For my heart's profound wish, a perfect love.
I pray You'll give me one who cares,
Who understands me, who always shares,
The answer to my fondest dream,
The two of us, a perfect team.
Lord, when each new day is through,
I pray we'll turn our hearts to You.

If you are capable of writing poems by yourself, then it will be a great way to confess your feelings, but if you can’t write romantic poems, don’t be sad! Here are romantic and touching poems for your second half.
Love Poems for Her that Will Make Her Cry
These lines can touch her heart and make her cry. Let it be tears of happiness.
Before I met you,
I felt that I couldn’t love anyone,
That nobody would be able to fill the void in my heart,
But that all changed when I met you.
Then I came to realize you were always on my mind.
You’re funny and sweet.
You make me laugh and smile.
You take away all my anger and sadness.
You make me weak when I talk to you.
Then I started to write poems about you.
Now I have come to realize that I am hopelessly in love with you.
When I am with you, my heart is on fire,
To be with you is my only desire,
And if you love me, I’ll give you everything you need,
A lifetime of promises and a world full of dreams!
For only my heart knows what it means,
And I promise you it won’t be wrong,
One love, two hearts we will make it strong!
Darling when I’m alone, you’re the one I miss,
All I want to feel is your sweet kiss.
Darling, it’s true my heart has fallen in love with you!
From the moment we met,
I never had a doubt,
That you were a real knock-out.
I am so happy that it has happened,
You fell in love with me and that’s everything that mattered.
It’s a real wonder that a simple guy
Got such an angel that became his wife!
I love the way you nag and glare,
It makes me know how much you care,
I love the way you walk, you speak,
My love for you has reached its peak.
I love you just the way you are,
There is nobody as perfect as you are,
I love you because you love me too,
Just like the way I do.
I love you from head to toe,
And more than you’ll ever know.
I know we fight every now and then,
But please know I will love you until the end.
I just know you are the one for me,
And the only one there will ever be.
You are the one I want to spend my life with,
To call my wife and to share a kid.
I will never tell you the words goodbye,
And I will love you till the day I die.
If I was to pass on before you do,
I will be waiting at the gates of heaven for you.
Best Romantic Poems
You have come into my life,
You have shown me this wonderful world,
Your beautiful smile is more precious than gold,
I can praise you for a whole day,
But my love for you is so great,
That I need many days to say.
I want to hold you close and dance with you,
Just take your hand and run away with you,
I want you to hold my heart in your hands,
I want to be more than friends.
Grab your waist and pull you towards me,
Your sparkling eyes are the most amazing view.
Keep you tight and when I tell you I love you,
Kiss me and tell me you love me too.
No man will not notice the beauty in you,
It’s like you are an angel out of the blue.
Your face is amazing the way it is,
But it’s your heart and soul that is for keeps.
You mesmerize me with your innocent smile,
But your eyes also keep me hypnotized for a while.
And I wish only one thing in my life,
I want you to become my wife.
When I am without you, the sun seems so dull.
When I am without you, the plants seem to cry.
When I am without you, I imagine your face.
When I am without you, I think about your beauty and your grace.
Yet, when I am with you, the sun bursts through the clouds.
When I am with you, I know I can move mountains.
When I am with you, my heart is free of chains.
When I am with you, everything falls into place.
When I am with you, I remember why I fell in love with you!
Your lips are so soft and red,
The thought of kissing you is stuck in my head.
Your beauty is so bright and warm,
It is shining through the darkest storm.
Your eyes sparkle like stars in the night sky.
When I stare into them, I feel like I am soaring high.
My love for you is pure and true.
I never stop thinking of you.
I promise to love you for every moment of forever,
And when everything else crumbles, I will never.
I am your armor to protect you from harm,
Like you are to me, a lucky charm.
For you are my heart, my soul.
Baby, you are my whole world.

I will be your man forever and I will leave you never.
Roses are red, the sky is blue, my eyes sparkle when I look at you!
