God’s Gift
Love is like a river,
A never ending stream.
Love is shared by each other
To answer someone’s dream.
I’ ’s a never ending story;
Love is not a lie.
You can share in all its glory,
For love will never die.
Love is all around you,
The moon and stars above.
Love is a gift from God,
And God is a gift of love.
— John P. Read
Love Me Through It All
Love me through it all
The beautiful days
The dark days
The days when I am drowning
The days when I am lost
The days when I am stagnant
For it is love,
and only love,
that heals all wounds.
— Caroline White

Your Smile On My Mind
I wake up every day with your smile on my mind.
It’s a beautiful sight to behold, so soft and so kind.
My dreams are filled with the thought of me and you.
I awake and smile, for my dreams have come true.
I have you to guide me through my troubles and fears.
I’ll always be here for you through your struggles and tears.

You mean everything to me; I just want you to know.
I’ll be here for you no matter the dilemma.
You will always be first on my agenda.

I Can Be Anything You Want You Need
I can be the silence

you want and need
to make this life settle in
and be at ease.

here in my arms.

just want you to know how much,
I love the things you do.

How Do I Start ?
How do I start?
What do I say?
I love you and you take my breath away?
Do I say hold me tight, keep me warm all through the night?
So how do I start?
I start like this: hold me, love me, teach me, move me, motivate me to do something great.
Now that I’ve started, how do I end?
I end like this
I LOVE YOU!!!

We want love…
but don’t always need it.

That can heal a frozen heart.
— Tyquan L. Norwood
Roses
If roses were red and violets could be blue,
I’d take us away to a place just for two.
You’d see my true colors and all that I felt.
I’d see that you could love me and nobody else.
We’d build ourselves a fortress where we’d run and play.
You’d be mine and I’d be yours ’til our dying day.
Then I wake and realize you were never here.
It’s all just my thoughts, my dreams, my hopes…
But now it’s only tears!
— Kori Frias

I’ll love you forever with all my heart.

My Heart
My Heart is something that gives me life
My Heart feeds and nurtures as if it were my wife
My Heart is kind and loving down to the last drop
My Heart keeps me going not wanting to stop
My Heart has a pulse to it unlike anything in this universe
My Heart gives me strength in the hardest traverse
My Heart gives me structure in such an unstructured place
My Heart beats at an insurmountable pace
My Heart bonds me together so that nothing could tear it apart
My Heart is something I loved right from the start
You Yes!!!! You. Are My Heart.
— Vernon Myres
Green Eyes
Drowning my heart with his eyes,
Conjuring passion that never dies,
So irresistible the pair of green,
Engraved on my mind a beautiful scene,
Bright, serene and filled with mystery,
Amazing how it sparks the chemistry,
Merely gazing at them makes me cheer,
Gives me hope and sets my mind clear,
Brilliance glaring from the mellow iris,
Looking through them is truly a bliss.
— Walaa
Short Love Affair
There is a beautiful world where I can see your face,
It exists only between time and space
Time shreds space like worn out fashion,
And leaves us desperate for our precious compassion
Space consumes time without our consent,
And hides the reality that our dreams were once spent
Our love is regained when we meet in between
And there we can dance again in our dream
— Stanley

Lift the glass so lightly
On your lips let it pass

Feel it warm when you sip
This kiss will be forever
As it flows across your lip

She Loves Me
For though I hope she loves me
For she has kissed my mouth

And my heart is very glad
for her kiss was just as wonderful
As all the dreams I’ve had

I can’t wait till we meet,
When we are apart,
All I can do,
Is sit here and long to be close to you.
— Unknown

True Love
True love is measured by how deep you fall
And judged by how low you are willing to crawl
Just to save it and make it last
It is determined by how willing you are to open up and offer your trust.
It is hospitable, amazing at all times, and always kind.
It is never prejudiced, it is color blind..

Daydream
You fill the room with sweet sensation

And makes me want to try.

Short love poems are a wonderful way to convey your feelings. You can share them on special occasions and impress your significant other. Choose a relatable poem to express everything that’s locked in your heart and find your partner closer to you.
Loving yourself is tough. Waking up every day with a proud sense of who you are can feel exhausting, or even impossible. But we all know, deep down, we can be the best versions of ourselves when we love ourselves fiercely and freely. Sometimes it takes mantras and prayers and sticky notes on the wall and chats in the mirror to make self-love stick. Poetry can help too.
Here are six self-love poems to remind you of your worth and value in this world; to bring you to a centered place of peace within yourself.
self love is
a revolution
that every atom
in your body is
marching for.
You are not small.
You are not unworthy.
You are not insignificant.
The universe wove you from a constellation,
just so atom, every fibre in you comes from
a different star.
Together, you are bound by stardust , altogether
spectacularly created by the energy of the
universe itself.
And that, my darling,
is the poetry of physics,
the poetry of you.
accept yourself as a work in progress the continue
to build yourself into the person you’re dreaming to be;
the person you have all the potential to be.
accept your flaws, accept your truths. accept your past.
and make light of them. no one can tear you down if
you make peace with who you are and where you’ve
been. if you are going to focus on the negative at all,
focus on turning them into positives. focus on growing.
sometimes, often times, our minds are the scariest
place to sit. it’ll trick you into comparing yourself
to others and it’ll trick you into believing you aren't
good enough. but you are. you have always been
and you always will be. you’re much more powerful
when you believe in yourself. if you don’t love
all of you, who will?
give yourself time to blossom.
who taught you
to unlove yourself
so sweetly
that you actually thought
it tasted
good?
I’ve spent
So much time
At war with
Myself, I have
Forgotten
I am the walls
of my home
Forgive her, and she
Will forgive you, too
No matter how many times
You asked her to break
—my relationship with my body
The universe took its time on you
crafted you to offer the world
something different from everyone else
when you doubt
how you were created
you doubt an energy greater than us both.
