A Birthday Sonnet For My Love

Another year has passed for you, sweetheart;
It's time to cut the cake and celebrate.
And once again, my love, I start to think
Of things about you I appreciate.

It means so much to have you in my life;
Your loving care fills up my days with pleasure.
Your warm and giving nature helps create
Close, special times together that I treasure.

I live within a safe and steady world,
Because you love me unconditionally.
Your easygoing ways mean that I'm blessed
With peace and joy and blissful harmony.

To me your birthday is a precious day;
I hope it brings you joy in every way.

Another Birthday Together

Your birthday marks another year together;
Such happy times, I couldn’t ask for more,
Spending precious minutes, hours and days
With you, my love, whom I cherish and adore.

We’ve shared so much, we two, in love and friendship;
Each year our bond just seems to grow and grow.
I always want to be right next to you;
To be with you means more than you can know.

You’re always there for me with a loving smile;
I’m never happier than when I know you’re near.
I thought my love for you could not grow stronger;
And yet I love you even more this year.

On days both dark and sunny.

And I'll be your love, too;
Each birthday is another chance
To say, I love just you!"

Poem For Gf

It’s your birthday, and I look forward with joy
to each day we spend together.
It’s your birthday, and I wonder how I got along
for all the birthdays I didn’t know you.

It’s your birthday, and it’s amazing
how easy and enjoyable it is to be with you each day.
It’s your birthday, and no matter what fate has in store for us,
I know it will be a pleasure to spend life with you.

It’s your birthday, but I got the gift--
You in my life for another year.

By Karl Fuchs

Birthday love poems should celebrate the uniqueness of the day as this romantic birthday poem does.

Your Birthday Every Day

I wish your birthday, Sweetheart,
Would happen every day,
So I could celebrate you
With a compliment bouquet.

I’d say you’ve made me happy
Just by being you;
Your (feminine/masculine) charm delights me
In everything you do.

Your birthday is so special,
I wish I had the chance
Each day to show I love you,
With tender, sweet romance.

I guess I’ll just pretend
Every day’s the day of your birth,
Another opportunity
To show you all you’re worth!

By Joanna Fuchs

This birthday love poem in free verse is short, but gets its loving point across.

On Your Birthday

On your birthday, I am so very happy
to have shared life with you another year,
basking in the special light of your love.
May your birthday be filled
with joy, satisfaction,
and the kind of amazing happiness
I feel whenever I’m with you.

More birthday love poems

This birthday love poem uses sensual images to convey its loving message.

If I Could...

If I could sing, I’d sing a song
Filled with love and praise,
Using notes and melody,
Musical bouquets...

If I could paint, with brush strokes I
Could show you how I feel;
With colors, light and texture,
I'd prove my love is real.

If I could fly, I’d soar so high
Grazing heaven above,
Trailing a giant banner:
(Name) is the one I love!

I can’t do those, but I can do this:
I can hug you tight and say,
I hope your birthday is the best,
A joy-filled pleasure buffet!

By Joanna Fuchs

Romantic birthday poems can ponder what life would be like without the loved one, as this birthday love poem does.

If Not For Your Birth Day

If not for your birth day,
I would never have known
the contentment
of unconditional love,
love that goes on and on,
devotion that never fades or yields
no matter what the challenge,
obstacle or provocation.
If not for your birth day,
I wouldn't have experienced
the satisfaction of being fulfilled
through amazing pleasures
I didn't even know existed.
If not for your birth day
I wouldn't have someone
who is always there for me,
helping and supporting me,
making life easy and peaceful.
If not for your birth day,
I wouldn't have you.
Oh, Happy, Happy Birthday!

By Joanna Fuchs

Birthday love poems should be rich in emotion and tender affection, as this birthday poem is.

Birthday Love

The special day that you were born
Is filled with many pleasures;
Our attraction and our caring bond
Are my life’s greatest treasures.

Your birthday brings me happiness
And fills me with emotion;
My gift to you is all my love
And unshakable devotion.

By Joanna Fuchs

This birthday love poem celebrates a long and happy relationship.

The Day You Were Born

The day you were born
Was a great day indeed;
It allowed us to meet,
Which was just what I'd need.

To share a life blessed with love,
Filled with joy and with wonder,
And be close with you, partner,
Like lightning and thunder.

The day you were born
Deserves trumpets and song,
For that day the sweet love
Of my life came along.

It took years till we met,
But that day is the thing
That brought you to me,
And made my heart sing.

I’m hoping and praying for many more years,
many more birthdays
to reveal all the aspects of my love for you:
the warmth in my heart whenever you’re near,
the ecstasy of being close to you,
the excitement of sharing our lives together,

Karl wrote this birthday love poem for Joanna, but you can alter it to fit your loved one:

Happy Birthday My Love

My love, I wish you a happy birthday,
But it’s me who has been blessed,
For I got to spend the year with you,
In our comfy, cozy nest.

You are a rare and beautiful person;
You have delightful attributes,
Like competence and intelligence,
And what’s more, lots of cutes!

You have mental strength and character
To guide you on your way;
People sense this strength in you,
And care about what you say.

So let’s celebrate your birthday,
Because without it I’d never have met
My darling, wonderful you,
The best thing that’s happened to me yet!

By Karl Fuchs

Birthday love poetry can also be for "over the hill" loved ones. Birthday poems about aging are rare. I hope this birthday love greeting, this Happy Birthday love poem, will fill the bill. I wrote it for my husband, Karl, for his 72nd birthday.

Hoping You’ll Get Old Birthday

You complain about aging,
yet every new sign that you’re getting older
reminds me how blessed I am
to have you for another birthday, another year.
You worry about sags and bags and wrinkles
yet all I see
is the life and love in your eyes.
Your contagious smile still warms my heart.
Your silly humor still lifts me with laughter.
I hope and pray that you’ll get older
and older and older,
because when you’re 100,
I’ll enjoy you and love you
even more than I do today.
Happy Birthday, Sweetheart,
And many, many, many more.

By Joanna Fuchs

I wrote this birthday love poem for Karl's 81st birthday.

World Class Gift 

Your birthday is like a world-class gift,
Because you give me such a lift.
Sweet and tender, funny, too.
How could I ever do without you? 

Happy birthday, and many more;
Who knows what our lives have in store;
Happiness and lots of fun,
Because my darling, you’re the one!

By Joanna Fuchs

Poem For Gf

A birthday love poem should be romantic, as this birthday love poem for a wife is.

Birthday Treat

When you're near me I feel whole and complete,
When you're not, there's a part of me missing.
Your caring and warmth provide such a treat,
There's no one I'd rather be kissing.

You're my sweetheart, my lover, the best part of my life,
That’s why I want to convey
My deep feelings for you, my wonderful wife,
All my love on your special day.

Happy Birthday!

By Joanna and Karl Fuchs

I wrote this "birthday love letter for him" to my husband, Karl.

To My Beloved On His Birthday

You are the love of my life.
You are my heart's desire.
You are my best friend, my favorite companion, my partner,
my playmate, the lover of my fondest fantasies.
I love to hug you, touch you, smell you, taste you, merge with you.

You make me feel happy, contented, peaceful and complete.
You accept me just as I am, even though I am very different from you.
You accept me and love me, even when you don't understand me.

You are smart and creative, and I admire and respect you.
I look up to you as my protector and hero.

There are no words intense enough to describe how deeply I love you.
I love you more than I thought I was capable of loving anyone.

Our love gets better every year. I wish we had started earlier,
so I could have more years with you--each year better than the last.

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. I look forward
to many more happy years with you.

All my love forever,
(sign your name)

By Joanna Fuchs

I wish Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife.
She’s a rich source of joy that fills up my life.
Within me, my heart fills with pleasure and cheer
For the happiness she brings me whenever she’s near.

Every day my sweet wife and I share love,
For this gift, I’m thankful to the Lord above.
I hope and wish we’ll have more time to share,
Many more birthdays, that is my prayer.

My Love, I pray the Lord

Your birthday means so very much
To me, in every way.

Protecting you and keeping you
Safe from any harms.

In place, until we reunite
With Him, in heaven above.

Short Goodnight Love Poems

1. With Every Breath

With every breath, I ache for you,
Wishing I could hold you all night.
Breathing together in the rhythm of two,
And waking entwined at morning’s first light.

2. As You Fall Asleep

As you fall asleep, please know
That I have you in my heart.
I see your face and love your soul,
And know your body like a chart.

3. This Night

I will never forget this night, my love
And the things that we said and did.
They’re imprinted upon my soul, my love,
For as long as we both shall live.

4. Don’t Fall Asleep

Please don’t fall asleep my dear.
Stay awake and whisper in my ear.|
Tell me the secrets of your heart,
And how we will never be apart.

5. Who Am I?

Who am I to love you so much?
Who am I to ask for that love in return?
Tonight you have made me the happiest man on Earth,
By offering your love so freely and with such tender joy.
Goodnight my dearest love. I hold you in my heart.

6. Saying Goodbye

Saying goodbye tonight was hard,
And harder even still
Is knowing you’re there alone in bed
And I’m not sharing that thrill.
To be beside you and holding you close
Is where I long to be instead.

7. You Are My Everything

Goodnight my darling girl.
You are my everything —
My sun, my stars, the air I breathe,
The woman I’ve dreamed of,
My place of reprieve.

8. Someone So Right

I’ve never known someone so right
Who makes me feel this way.
I can’t stop smiling through the day
Or fall asleep all night.

9. My Mind’s Eye

Poem For Gf

I picture you in my mind’s eye
As you go about your day.
I see you as you’re working,
And when you stop at that cafe.
Now as you climp into your bed,
I’m thinking of you still.
Goodnight my lovely angel,
All my dreams you do fulfill.

10. Don’t Stop Loving Me

Don’t stop loving me
When you say goodbye tonight.
Send me a little signal by
Turning on your light,
So I know that you still love me
When it’s time to say goodnight.

11. Isn’t It Funny

Isn’t it funny how all day long
We can be together and still
Go strong.
And now tonight as we
Go to bed,
I could stay up talking
All night instead.

12. Why Should We Part?

I am here and you are there
And this separation is simply not fair.
It doesn’t make sense that you’re in my heart,
But we still must spend the whole night apart.
Sweet Dream Goodnight Poems

13. Dream Of Me

Close your eyes and dream of me,
And I will dream of you.
Remember my eyes, my laugh, my sighs,
And I’ll remember too.
Keep my name upon your lips
As you gently fall asleep.
And when you awaken, be sure you know
I’m here and in love with you.

14. What’s The Purpose?

What is the purpose of sleep and dreams
When my dreams are all about you?
I’d rather be with you day and night
And conscious of all you do.
I’d rather be laughing and loving beside you
Than missing you in my sleep. But then
Seeing your sleepy face beside me
Is a memory I’ll always keep.

15. You’ve Marked Me

I miss you more than words express.
You’ve marked me and claimed my heart.
I think of you night and day and wish
I could see your sweet face and eyes.
As you fall asleep tonight, my dear, please
Hold me tight in your dreams and when you
Awaken in morning’s light my love, just know
You’re my treasured queen.

16. The Turning Point

There’s no use hiding or pretending
That tonight was a turning point.
Your kiss sealed the deal and your
Eyes spoke the truth of the love we
Both feel in our hearts. So goodnight
My new love and sleep the deep sleep
Of lovers whose time has come, and
Dream of the wonderful day ahead
When we are together at last.

17. Sinking In

All I need is for these words to sink
Into your dreams where they
Put a smile on your lips and
A soft sigh in your soul.
I love you, I love you
You make me whole.

18. It Doesn’t Seem Right

Why do I lose you to the dark, cold night and
The call of your bed’s dreamy depths?
It doesn’t seem right I’m not there with you
Keeping you warm by myself.
I’ll be your blanket and pull you in close
And feel the sweet beat of your heart.
But for now, it seems that all I can do
Is wish you a tender goodnight.

19. The Beacon of My Dreams

Goodnight, goodnight my shining light,
The beacon of my dreams.
You’ve reached inside my heart and sewn
The broken pieces together again.
With you, I feel whole and happy and free —
A love I have never known.
Goodnight, goodnight my shining light.
I’m lucky to call you my own.


Goodnight Poems for Your Girlfriend

20. My Heart Is With You

Why do we have to sleep apart, with you
So far away?
Why must our distance break my heart, knowing
You cannot stay?
Sleep well my beautiful, darling girl, and know
That my love is true.
And even though separated by miles, my dear,
My heart is there with you.

21. Three Little Words

The three little words you spoke tonight
Have magically turned me around
And made me understand at last
The depth of the love I have found.
Goodnight my darling, I hope you know
That I send the words back to you,
And as you sleep remember these words:
I’ll never stop loving you.

22. Heartbeat

Goodnight, goodnight
But I cannot sleep.
My heart is beating too fast.
It’s pounding so hard with
Longing for you, and I know for sure,
I’ve fallen in love at last.

23. Night Visions

It’s two in the morning and I can’t sleep.
I see your face in the visions of the night.
Your beauty is a soft and gentle memory
Imprinted on my brain.
Your love fills me with a peaceful refrain:
Sleep well, my love, and know
That as you sleep, you are loved so deeply,
So deeply like the deep blue sea, the deep
Blue of your eyes. The deep blue
Of my heart when I’m without you
By my side.

24. A Thousand Tomorrows

If I could wake up beside you
And watch you as you sleep.
Your grateful midnight soldier,
A watchman on his keep.
Your lovely face in quiet repose
Your hair spread out
In waves and rows.
If I could wake beside you
And watch you as you sleep.
If I could reach out and touch your face
And give myself to you,
I’d wrap myself around you and
And hold you in my arms.
I’d kiss you deep and tenderly and
Delight in all your charms.
But tonight I’m here without you,
As you peacefully sleep alone.
I’m here by myself in the midnight hour
My longing goes unknown.
But tomorrow, tomorrow, and for a thousand
Tomorrows to come, when we shall meet again,
I’ll hold you in my arms once more and
Claim you as my own.

25. The Close of Day

Goodnight my darling
At the close of this day,
There’s something on my heart
I am longing to say…
You are my love, my life, and my world.
You are my beautiful, perfect sweet girl.
As you turn off the lights and close your eyes,
Remember you've made me the happiest guy.

26. The Memory of Your Lips

I have just left you,
But I can never leave you for long.
We just kissed,
But the memory of your lips
On mine still burns.
I can never leave you, but even so
You are there alone
In your bed with your
Book, the one you just
Told me about and
We laughed.
And now, I am here.
Thinking of you.
So I’m not alone.

27. This Night

This is the night when I meant
To tell you how much
You mean to me.
This is the night I wanted to
Say that my soul is filled with
Love and desire for you.
This is the night when my heart
Is full with all the tenderness and
Joy it can hold.
All of these things are firmly true,
But since you’re not here, and I’m
Not there, I’ll just
Hold my words except to say
Goodnight to you.

28. Reflections

If you want to know me,
Look at yourself in the mirror,
Before you fall asleep.
You reflect the person I want to be,
The person inside this body and mind.
With your kiss tonight, you’ve unlocked me.
You’ve shown me who I am and who I can become.
The door has been flung open, and I stand before
You as the man I need to be, and
The man I intend to become.
Goodnight my soul, my heart, my deepest love.
You have unlocked me, and I am yours.

Funny Goodnight Poems

29. Every Part of You

Why should I have to say goodnight
When all I want to do,
Is hold you in my arms and kiss
Every part of you.
Why must we sleep apart and feel
This loneliness and pain.
I think I’ll sneak over to your house now,
And rap on your window pane.

30. Unbearable

I cannot bear to say goodnight,
So I’ll simply leave you with this:
Being with you is more than joy,
It’s simply perfect bliss.
Tomorrow I know I’ll see you again,
But while we wait just know,
That as I sleep and dream of you,
I’m kissing your big toe.

31. Goodnight Wishes

Will you say goodnight to me
And tell me something sweet?
Will you wish me happy dreams
And promise when we’ll meet?
It’s hard to be away from you
And hard to know you’re there,
Tucked so cozy in your bed,
While I’m just sitting here

32. Bewitched

Please don’t say goodnight to me
And leave me here alone.
Please don’t close your eyes and sleep
When I am left at home.
I cannot sleep, I cannot think
You’ve bewitched me through and through,
So please don’t say goodnight to me,
But I’ll say goodnight to you.

33. Words of You

Happy, funny, friendly, fun.
Lovely, gracious, shining sun.
Curious, clever, loving, kind,
Gorgeous face and sharper mind.
You are all these things to me,
You are my lover and my light.
So, now before you fall asleep,
I wish you a tender, warm goodnight.

34. Door Slam

Walk out of your house and slam the door.
Get into your car, and please make it roar.
Drive as fast as you can – you can’t stop to pee.
You must come here now and fall asleep with me.

35. Breaking All Rules

This night is not ending,
You must be mistaken.
There’s no way you would leave me
Alone and forsaken.
The sky may be dark and
The sun has gone down.
But you and I cannot part
Just because it’s not sound.
Expectations and rules don’t
Apply in our case.
And it’s not that you have
You father to face.
So let’s not say goodnight,
Let’s not waste the hours
Come and dance with me
In the bright moonlight showers.
