Every year that I'm with you

More Time, More Love

Our (number of years) anniversary, Love,
Brings feelings of delight,
Thoughts of pleasure that you give me
Every day and every night.

I’m grateful for each day and hour;
I thank the Lord above
For giving me the precious gift:
Of your deep, enduring love.

As our lives go on and on,
One thing is always true:
To the very end, I’ll always wish
For more time, more love with you.

If I Could Go Back In Time

If I could go back in time today,
Way before we met,
I'd search and find you right away
To form our loving duet.

Far, far back, I'd go for you,
To marry you much sooner;
We'd tie the knot, and you would be
My amorous honeymooner.

I love our anniversary now;
I'm happier every year;
I just wish there'd been more time
For me to love you, Dear.

Much more than any another day;

And cherish you in every way.

Through passing time, our love still grows,
A caring relationship to explore;
Our life together gets better and better,
And I keep on loving you more and more.

Here's an anniversary love poem describing a long-term relationship that is not only still happy, but keeps getting better and better.

Each Year I Fall In Love Again With You

When I first met you all those years ago,
I fell in love so fast, I knew right then,
You were the one and only one for me;
I'd never have to look for love again.

A Poem For My Husband

Each anniversary finds us happier;
You are my light--my moon, my star, my sun.
You show me what real love is all about,
You fill my life with pleasure, joy and fun.

As time goes by, our love grows stronger still.
You're the most amazing (man/woman) I ever knew.
I prize our anniversaries because
Each year I fall in love again with you.

Deeply, Madly

Our wedding anniversary brings to mind
The happiness and joy you’ve brought to me,
Sweet memories--the laughter and the tears,
Devoted love you give abundantly.

The place I want to be is close to you;
There’s ecstasy and peace in your embrace.
I know that I can cope with what life brings,
As long as I wake up to see your face.

You’re all I ever wanted, and much more.
I look at you and I still get a thrill.
Our marriage is the best thing in my life;
I love you deeply, madly, and I always will.

By Joanna Fuchs

Anniversary love poems sometimes use metaphors and words that appeal to the five senses. This anniversary love note is like that.

The Lake

The beauty of the lake is always changing,
With the light, the weather and the season.
Yet each change holds a splendor all its own,
Each viewing precious for its own reason.

In sunshine, golden stars dance across the water.
Moonlight shines a beacon in the peaceful night.
The wind causes whitecaps to erupt and roll,
While calm brings assorted reflections of light.

The water has a new costume each day,
Perhaps gray or green, aqua or blue.
Though each view is different, the lake is the lake,
Lovely in its every color, mood and hue.

My thoughts of the lake remind me of you,
My wonderful, loving partner in life.
Through sunny days and stormy times,
We've stayed together as husband and wife.

Your love is my beacon, my star and my light;
All your colors and moods are precious to me.
You make every day an enchanting delight,
And I'll love you for all eternity.

Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
With you at my side, every experience is beautiful!

By Joanna Fuchs
(and Karl)

This anniversary love poem shows strong, solid love that is also passionate. It's also a marriage love poem.

Anniversary Love Sonnet

You’ve always been the one I counted on,
Through joy and sorrow, laughter, and some tears;
You keep me grounded; you’re my steady rock;
You’re there for me through days and months and years.

Your sweet devotion never, ever fails,
No matter what I say or what I do.
Sometimes I wonder what I ever did
To deserve someone as wonderful as you.

I love you with a love I can’t control;
I always want to be right by your side.
I want to touch you, kiss you and much more;
My passion for you cannot be denied.

Together we are satisfied and blessed;
Our marriage is the very, very best.

By Joanna Fuchs

This anniversary love poem, in free verse, says that true love lasts.

So Much Time, So Much Love

A Poem For My Husband

So much time has passed, my love,
since we met and married,
so much love each hour, day and minute.
Passion, yes, and also
tender looks, casual caresses, fond words
filling my memories with pleasure forever.
With you, sweetheart, every year,
every anniversary, is the best one yet.

By Joanna Fuchs

I wish every marriage could be as loving as the one this anniversary love poem describes. Karl wrote this for Joanna.

Everything Dear to Me

When I look up and see you, my love,
My whole world is filled with pleasure.
Through all the years we've shared, my love,
You've been my greatest treasure.

The sun shines brighter when you're near;
The air seems fresher too.
Everything that's dear to me,
Seems perfect, because of you.

The years go by, it's anniversary time,
My love for you keeps growing.
The pleasure it brings to be by your side,
Holding hands, makes me feel like I'm glowing.

So my love, on this special day,
Please believe what goes on in my heart.
Know that it's true; I really love you!
And I've loved you this way from the start.  

By Karl Fuchs

Anniversary love poems sometimes reveal things about the couple they are written for. This anniversary love message, which is also a marriage love poem, is probably for a couple who has been together quite awhile.

So Many Pleasures

When I was young, I couldn’t think
What it would be like to be older.
How could I know it would bring such joy
Just to cuddle my head on your shoulder.

So many things bring happiness now,
Like a rub on the back or a smile,
And my feelings for you are stronger today
Than they were when you walked down the aisle.

When I was young, my fondest wish
Was a marriage that could be this good.
Where we’d work through pain to laugh again
As loving partners should.

As the days drift by we’re settling in,
To a life that’s rich and rewarding.
Just sharing with you is a dream come true;
You’re a pleasure well worth hoarding!

I’m happy with you; to me you just shine,
And I’m blessed and thankful that you are mine.

By Joanna Fuchs
(and Karl)

Anniversary love poems do not always rhyme. Here's an anniversary love message that is a prose poem (nonrhyming), suitable for a wedding anniversary poem or a marriage poem. Note that you can change the title. If you don't like the phrase, "Dear One," use something you do like.

Dear One

Dear one...that's what you are to me.
Years ago when we met, I fell in love with you.
Nothing has changed;
On every anniversary, I realize
I love you still...more than ever.
When you're not near me, I feel an emptiness
that I can't seem to fill.
When you are near, I feel complete.
I cherish your love and companionship
and always hope to please you.
I always wish for your happiness,
for I love to see the sparkle in your eyes.
I never imagined that someone could be
as important as you are to me.
Please stay near
and love me as I love you.

By Joanna Fuchs
(and Karl)

More anniversary love poems

Anniversary love poems can also be used as marriage love poems. This anniversary love verse can be used that way...

As Time Goes By

We are older now but better by far
Who knows how good it can be
Our love still grows like a plant in the sun
Or a wave rising up from the sea.

We laughed before, but we laugh more now.
Life is more fun so it seems.
Days are sunnier, the moon shines brighter;
Our life is the stuff of dreams.

We shared in the past, but today we share more.
There’s a warmth that keeps growing inside.
We loved when we met; it was powerful then,
Yet now our love’s strong as the tide.

You’re the best, dearest thing to come into my life,
Like an angel from out of the sky.
And I know one thing sure: You’ll be dearer still,
As time goes by.

By Joanna Fuchs
(and Karl)

• Anniversary Love Poems



And the last time you tried to sing to him, well . . . did his eye always twitch like that?

For My Husband

Loving you has no end and no beginning
Loving you is everything
It is infinite in time
And limitless in magnitude
Beyond even my own comprehension
Your love brings me home
Enfolds me and warms me
In its eternal embrace
Endless and palpable
Beyond all life’s storms
A connection like no other
Twenty years long
But timeless in our hearts
Deep and true
Till’ death us do part.
– Susan Louglin

You Are My Everything

When you were my friend
You were amazing
When you were my boyfriend
You were outstanding
When you were my fiancƩ
You were commendable
As my husband now
You are incredible
You have been the perfect lover
At every juncture of life
Of such a loving husband
I am proud of a wife
I love you
– Jetem Westbrook

When You Come

A Poem For My Husband

When you come to me, unbidden,
Beckoning me
To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.

Offering me, as to a child, an attic,
Gatherings of days too few.
Baubles of stolen kisses.
Trinkets of borrowed loves.
Trunks of secret words,

I CRY.

-Maya Angelou

When We Are Old and These Rejoicing Veins

When we are old and these rejoicing veins
Are frosty channels to a muted stream,
And out of all our burning their remains
No feeblest spark to fire us, even in dream,
This be our solace: that it was not said
When we were young and warm and in our prime,
Upon our couch we lay as lie the dead,
Sleeping away the unreturning time.
O sweet, O heavy-lidded, O my love,
When morning strikes her spear upon the land,
And we must rise and arm us and reprove
The insolent daylight with a steady hand,
Be not discountenanced if the knowing know
We rose from rapture but an hour ago.

-Edna St. Vincent Millay

The sky was lit

by the splendor of the moon

So powerful
I fell to the ground

Your love
has made me sure

I am ready to forsake
this worldly life
and surrender
to the magnificence
of your Being

-Rumi

Apple of My Eye

The apple of my eye
The gem of my heart
Nothing in the world
Can ever keep us apart
The feather in my cap
The reason for my heartbeat
My dear husband
You make my life complete
I love you.

If Only You Knew

In the darkness of the night, there is only me and you,
We are woven together in our very own cocoon.

I feel your heartbeat against my chest,
I hold you tight as we both rest.

I start to drift off to sleep,
And think of how I turned complete.

I am only complete when you are near,
To lose you someday is my biggest fear.

It takes two halves to make a whole,
My heart and yours, we make one soul.
– Rahik Thamir

Satisfied

When you make love to me, everything seems right,
You seem to take my hand and guide me through the night.
You reach to take my fears and throw them to the past,
You penetrate my soul in hopes to make it last.

And you standing with me, never shall I be afraid.
My inner core you’ve touched, my sanity you’ve saved.
But if you feel you can’t be strong in all my times of need,
You’ve given me strength, somehow I’ll take the lead.

Never understanding, accepting what time may give
We’ll learn and grow together,
Cherishing each moment that we live.
– Dina Johnson

My Blessing in Life

Every morning I wake up and see
The most handsome man lying next to me.
He’s the one I cherish and love,
A blessing sent from Heaven above.
I will love him as a faithful wife should
And do everything for him, I could.
I would let him know every day
That I love him more than words can say.
For the two children, we have together
And the love for God in each other.
It will keep our love for each other strong,
And the Lord will guide us away from all wrong.
– Jessica L. Newsome

To My Dear And Loving Husband

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 recompetence.
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.
– Anne Bradstreet

I Will Wait for You Forever

but my love for you stays strong.

I hold you in my heart
and have you on my mind.

I’ll wait for you; however long,
my love for you is blind.

You are my lover and my friend,

I shall remain here waiting,
even if for eternity.
– Diana J. Briones

To My Husband

My life, My body is now shared,
But, it seems so fair,
As marriage made us pair,
Even though I dont always tell you,
I Love You,
Glad am married to you,
At times we are rough,
At times we are soft,
But, you always have a big heart,
That makes our love grow stronger,
I am lucky to be part of your life,
I am honoured to be your wife,
You shared my good times,
And at bad times stood like a rock,
I dream about our sweet yesterdays,
And our beautiful tommorow.
Never thought I could be loved so much,
But, you made me feel,
Year after year.
Everyday, Now I pray,
For the every new life,
I remain your wife.
Anju Addanki

Our Love

Our love grows every day we are together
I hope our love last forever
I’m happy to say my dreams came true
Because I’m blessed to be loved by you
I hate when we fuss and fight
Because in the end neither was right
You’re the love of my life, you’re my best friend
And I never want this love to end
I hope to be always together
I vow to love now and forever
– Stephanie

Someday My Love

Remember the walks
Remember the talks
The promises we made
The choices we came to make
To have you in my life was no mistake
For every tear that falls
Be it as it may
I know I love you and we will be together forever someday
– Kimberly

My Covering

I know what it feels like to wait on a breakthrough,
Meanwhile trusting God to see us through!
I know what it feels like to hold your hand
On bended knees, seeking the Father’s plan.
I know what it feels like to cry all night long
Just to be reminded by you in the morning light
That Jesus is our new song…
I know what it feels like to almost lose hope,
But having you in my life strengthens my rope…
Thank you for being a compassionate guide,
Assisting in my footsteps
And believing in what God has provided.
You are more than a friend, husband, or lover.
You are my protector, my provider.
You are my cover!
Because of you,
I know what it feels like to be loved.
– Wanda J. Mobley

Greatness of Your Character

A Poem For My Husband

As I think on the things that I so admire about you,
I admire:
Your undoubted love for God,
Your ability to learn,
How quickly you can change a negative attribute in yourself into a positive,
The right choices you make consistently and swiftly
Without a fleeting thought of the wrong choices as options,
How you are so tenderly moved by the suffering of another,
How your sympathy changes into empathy and you become the fulfiller,
The great teacher and the coach that you have been to myself and to others,
The humility that quietly adorns you when attacked unjustly
Or when you have been misunderstood,
How you show the way by example to our children and grandchildren
With patience, kindness, and love,
And most of all, your unwavering love for me,
And so much more."
– Lena Mary Fuller

Guitar Poem

Strumming melodies, again and again
Mellow rhythm overcomes confusion
And solidifies my heart on solid ground

Familiar tones of the old guitar
Coming from a nearby armchair
Home is where he is
And he is always with me

Vibrations echo in my chest
Guiding my heart beat
With every flick of his fingers
– Mary Helen McNally

Wish I Could Find the Words

Just wish I could find the words
That would make the meaning clear
About why I just love you so
And why I want you here

Why I need you here with me
So I can shower you with love
Why it is so clear to see
You are an angel from above

An angel sent from heavens high
To bring the lord’s own prayer
That you and I on blue skies fly
Share a love that is true and rare

A love that is so truly pure
That it completely fills my heart
A love that will forever endure
And that we shall never part

A love that will last you see
Until the end of time
A love which joins us – you and me
And forever will our hearts entwine.
– Nigel P. Stringfellow

From My Heart

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.
– Mrs. Creeves

The Meaning Of Love

To love is to share life together,
to build special plans just for two,
to work side by side,
and then smile with pride,
as one by one, dreams all come true.

To love is to help and encourage
with smiles and sincere words of praise,
to take time to share,
to listen and care
in tender, affectionate ways.

To love is to have someone special,
one on whom you can always depend
to be there through the years,
sharing laughter and tears,
as a partner, a lover, a friend.

To love is to make special memories
of moments you love to recall,
of all the good things
that sharing life brings.
Love is the greatest of all.

I've learned the full meaning
of sharing and caring
and having my dreams all come true;
I've learned the full meaning
of being in love
by being and loving with you.
– Krina Shah

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.

-Joanna Fuchs

I Don't Think You Will Ever Fully Understand

I don’t think you will
Ever fully understand
How you touched my life
And made me who I am.
You are the keeper of my dreams,
The man who holds my heart,
The one I want to spend my life with,
The one with whom I will always stand.
Stand beside through thick and thin
Through all that life throws our way
Knowing that this special love we share
Will guide us each and every day.
I don’t think you could ever feel
All the love I have to give,
And I’m sure you never realize
You’ve been my will to live.
— Stephanie Schiavone

My Love for You is Like the Raging Sea

My love for you is like the raging sea,
So powerful and deep it will forever be.
Through storm, wind, and heavy rain,
It will withstand every pain.
Our hearts are so pure and love so sweet.
I love you more with every heartbeat!
— Elaine Chetty
