Beautiful Love Poems to Read Right Now

Roses are red, Violets are… here are some romantic and beautiful love poems that you need to read right now.

“Any Lit” by Harryette Mullen

You are a ukulele beyond my microphone

You are a Yukon beyond my Micronesia

You are a union beyond my meiosis

You are a unicycle beyond my migration

You are a universe beyond my mitochondria

You are a Eucharist beyond my Miles Davis

You are a euphony beyond my myocardiogram

You are a unicorn beyond my Minotaur

You are a eureka beyond my maitai

You are a Yuletide beyond my minesweeper

You are a euphemism beyond my myna bird

“Atlas” by U.A. Fanthorpe

There is a kind of love called maintenance

Which stores the WD40 and knows when to use it

Which checks the insurance, and doesn't forget

The milkman; which remembers to plant bulbs;

Which answers letters; which knows the way

And Road Fund Tax and meeting trains,

And postcards to the lonely; which upholds

The permanently rickety elaborate

Structures of living, which is Atlas.

And maintenance is the sensible side of love,

Which knows what time and weather are doing

To my brickwork; insulates my faulty wiring;

Laughs at my dryrotten jokes; remembers

My need for gloss and grouting; which keeps

My suspect edifice upright in air,

As Atlas did the sky.

“When You Come” by Maya Angelou

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.

“Sonnet 29” by William Shakespeare

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state,

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,

And look upon myself and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,

Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,

(Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings

That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

“It is Here” by Harold Pinter

(for A)

What sound was that?

I turn away, into the shaking room.

What was that sound that came in on the dark?

What is this maze of light it leaves us in?

What is this stance we take,

To turn away and then turn back?

What did we hear?

It was the breath we took when we first met.

Listen. It is here.

“Echo” by Carol Ann Duffy

I think I was searching for treasures or stones

in the clearest of pools

when your face…

when your face,

like the moon in a well

where I might wish…

might well wish

for the iced fire of your kiss;

only on water my lips, where your face…

where your face was reflected, lovely,

not really there when I turned

to look behind at the emptying air…

the emptying air.

“It’s all I have to bring today” by Emily Dickinson

It’s all I have to bring today—

This, and my heart beside—

This, and my heart, and all the fields—

And all the meadows wide—

Be sure you count—should I forget

Some one the sum could tell—

This, and my heart, and all the Bees

Which in the Clover dwell.

“To the Desert” by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

I came to you one rainless August night.

You taught me how to live without the rain.

You are thirst and thirst is all I know.

You are sand, wind, sun, and burning sky,

The hottest blue. You blow a breeze and brand

Your breath into my mouth. You reach—then bend

Your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new.

You wrap your name tight around my ribs

And keep me warm. I was born for you.

Above, below, by you, by you surrounded.

I wake to you at dawn. Never break your

Knot. Reach, rise, blow, Sálvame, mi dios,

Trágame, mi tierra. Salva, traga, Break me,

I am bread. I will be the water for your thirst.

Shakespeare Love Quotes to Use in Weddings, Speeches, and Love Letters

If you are looking to write a few words on love, then look no further than Shakespeare. The Bard has written so many beautiful quotes for weddings or any other occasions involving love.

Romeo and Juliet

“Love is a smoke rais’d with the fume of sighs; Being purg’d, a fire sparkling in a lover’s eyes;

Being vex’d, a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:

What is it else? a madness most discreet,

A choking gall and a preserving sweet.” (Act I, scene i)

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite.” (Act II, scene ii)

“Love goes toward love, as school-boys from their books,

But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.” (Act II, scene ii)

“Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;

Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night,

And pay no worship to the garish sun.” (Act III, scene ii)

As You Like It

“But are you so much in love as your rhymes speak?

Neither rhyme nor reason can express how much.” (Act II, scene iii)

“If thou rememb’rest not the slightest folly

That ever love did make thee run into,

Thou has not loved.” (Act II, scene iv)

“Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?” (Act III, scene v)

“No sooner met but they looked, no sooner looked but they loved, no sooner loved but they sighed, no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason, no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.” (Act V, scene ii)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,

And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.” (Act I, scene i)

“The course of true love never did run smooth.” (Act I, scene ii)

Much Ado About Nothing

“When you depart from me sorrow abides, and happiness takes his leave.” (Act I, scene I)

“Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. I were but little happy

if I could say how much.—Lady, as you are mine, I am

yours. I give away myself for you and dote upon the exchange.” (Act II, scene i)

“I do love nothing in the world so well as you—is not that strange?” (Act IV, scene i)

“I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest.” (Act IV, scene i)

“I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes—and moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle’s.” (Act V, scene ii)

Communication is Key

Love can be a tricky game to play, and the stakes are high as sometimes broken hearts abound. But romance won’t give you the runaround when you can see what’s key, and that’s communication. Yes, the lessons of love may just come down to communicating clearly, and that holds true of just about any relationship, here are two reasons why.

We don’t like games. Although many of us still play them, none of us particularly like them, and when it comes right down to it, games are for children. Avoiding games and signaling intent early on saves a lot of drama down the road. Open communication is essential when letting your partner know what you want, and it takes a certain amount of honesty, both with your partner and with yourself.

Our minds wonder, and often worry. We live in an age of nearly non-stop stimulation. Many of us are glued to our phones, constantly refreshing our Facebook feeds or tweets. Some bemoan it while others call it evolution, but good or bad the fundamental fact is that social media has changed the way our brains work, and we’ve become less patient. Communication may not be needed on an hourly basis, but many of us like it to be constant, as long stretches of radio silence may lead us to wonder the reasons why, and that often leads to worry.
