Romantic Poems
My Love is for You
I give you my heart today
Hoping that you will say:
"I love you very much too
I give my heart to you."
Love Couplet by Rumi
Translated by: Coleman Barks
The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along.
You are So Special
I wake up dreaming of you
Wanting you to always be here
You are so very special
I love it when you are near.
Sonnets from The Portuguese - XLIII
Elizabeth Barrett-Browning (1850)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
