1. Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometimes, too hot, the eye of heaven shines.
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
2. I Carry Your Heart with Me by E.E. Cummings
I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart).
I am never without it (anywhere).
I go you go, my dear, and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet).
I want no world (for beautiful, you are my world, my true)
And it’s you who are whatever a moon has always meant
And whatever the sun will always sing is you
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud.)
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life, which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)
3. How Do I Love Thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
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 every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the 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.
4. Your Laughter by Pablo Neruda (translated)
Take bread away from me, if you wish.
Take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.
Do not take away the rose.
The lance flower that you pluck,
The water that suddenly bursts forth in joy,
The sudden wave of silver born in you.
My struggle is harsh, and I come back
With eyes tired at times, I’ve seen myself
In the mirror full of dirt and wrinkles,
And at times I’ve seen
that the light of your laughter
was the only thing that saved me.
If I could take your laughter away from you,
If I could lift it like a tiny flower of flame,
I’d keep it in my breast, forever blazing.
5. Love’s Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another’s being mingle—
Why not I with thine?
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea—
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
6. She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tree,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
7. I Am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh, plunge me deep in love—put out
My senses leave me deaf and blind.
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
8. When You Are Old by W.B. Yeats
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace?
And loved your beauty with love, false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you.
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
9. A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.
Creative Romantic Poems to Make Her Melt in Your Arms
No poem beats the one that comes from you. Even if it’s just a few lines scribbled on a napkin, the fact that you took time to put your feelings into words? That’s romantic gold. Don’t overthink it. Speak from the heart. Tell her what makes her different.
10. Moonlight On My Worst Nights
You are the moonlight on my worst nights,
A whisper in the dark that tells me I’m enough.
You don’t just hold my hand—
You hold everything I was afraid to share.
No poet ever met you,
And that’s their loss.
Because the way you smile at silence
Could melt a war.
11. The Way You Breathe
The way you breathe—
soft and slow in sleep—
makes me believe
That peace is not a place,
But a person.
You turn silence into song,
stillness into sanctuary.
Even my chaos sits still
just to listen to you dream.
12. More Than the Words
I don’t say “I love you” just to fill the air—
I say it
because it’s the only thing louder
than my heartbeat
When you walk into the room.
It’s more than the words.
It’s every glance I steal,
Every touch, I hesitate to take—
Every moment you don’t notice
How completely I’m yours.
13. Coffee Mornings
You and coffee.
That’s how my mornings begin.
Your sleepy voice,
your half-open smile,
And the way you hold the cup
With both hands like it’s sacred.
And just sitting there
wondering how I got so lucky
to start every day
With you and a little warmth.
14. Unending Love
This love doesn’t flare and fade.
It burns slowly,
like embers under soft ash,
quiet but alive, always waiting
to warm us again.
Time won’t touch it.
Distance won’t dull it.
Even in silence,
even in the absence—
I will be loving you.
Not loudly.
Not perfectly.
But always.
15. This Is What Love Looks Like
It’s not grand gestures,
roses, or fireworks.
It’s your hand finding mine
in a crowded room.
I have a home in you, and
I wake up still there.
