Pablo Neruda's "Tonight I Can Write..."
It's the best poem I know about the pain and the bittersweet memories of a love affair that has ended.
Also, Anne Bradstreet's "To My Dear and Loving Husband" is an awesome love poem.

One of my favorite love poems is by a Union Soldier, Sullivan Ballou. I first heard this while watching Ken Burns' Civil War series on PBS.
I Googled "Sullivan Ballou + Poem" and got a nice website that not only gives a link to Ballou's poem but to other poems written before 1950 as well (all dealing with love). I think I copied all the link information correctly:

If that doesn't work, try Googling "Sullivan Ballou+ Poem" It's a tear jerker!

You might try the works of Rod McKuen. He was the guy who wrote "The Day The Music Died", which was a hit back in the 70's. He wrote some amazing verse. Also, the poems of Jim Morrison, of the group, The Doors, are awesome!

Try reading poems by Rumi. You should find some that you like!
The garden of
Love
is green without
limit
and yields many
fruits
other than sorrow
and joy.
Love is beyond either
condition:
without spring,
without autumn,
it is always fresh.
-- Jelaluddin Rumi
You can find more on the web. . .just look up Rumi!

I think you would love Emily Dickinson's poems.
It's kinda gloomy and glorious at the same time. Here is one of her work:
"I Should Not Dare"
I should not dare to leave my friend,
Because if he should die
While I was gone and I -too late,
Should reach the heart that wanted me,
If I should disappoint the eyes
That hunted, hunted so, to see
And could not bear to shut until
He noticed me, -he noticed me,
If I should stab the patient faith
So sure I?d come -so sure I?d come
It listening, listening went to sleep
Reciting my tardy name.
My heart would wish it broke before
Since breaking then, since breaking then,
Is useless as next morning?s sun
To erase a midnight?s tear.

You ask me if I love you and I ask myself
How to begin to share with you the feelings in my heart.
You inspire in me a love so deep, words can't describe it,
so powerful that it overwhelms my every thought.
You ask me if I love you,
and I wish there were a way you could just see into my soul and find the depth of passion, tenderness, and love that holds you closer to my heart than anyone or anything else.
You ask me if I love you, and I look into the majic of your eyes and promise,
Yes, I love you....
I always will

Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth;
for Your love is better than wine.
For Your ointments have a lovely fragrance;
Your name is as oil poured out;
therefore the virgins love You.
Draw me, we will run after You.
The King has brought me into his chambers;
we will be glad and rejoice in You,
we will remember Your love more than wine;
the upright love You.
I am black, but comely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
Do not look on me, that I am black,
that the sun has looked on me.
My mother's sons were angry with me;
they made me the keeper of the vineyards;
but my vineyard I have not kept.
Tell me, You whom my soul loves,
where do You feed, where do You lie down at noon?
For why should I be as one
who is veiled beside the flocks of Your companions?
If you know not, most beautiful among women,
go in the footsteps of the flock;
and feed your kids beside the shepherds' tents.
O My love,
I have compared you to My mares among Pharaoh's chariots.
Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments,
your neck with chains.
We will make you borders of gold with studs of silver.
While the King is in His circle,
my spikenard gives its smell.
A bundle of myrrh is my Beloved to me.
He shall lie all night between my breasts.
My Beloved is to me like a cluster
of henna in the vineyards of Engedi.
Behold, you are beautiful,
my love; behold, you are beautiful;
you have doves' eyes.
Behold, you are beautiful,
my Beloved, yea, pleasant.
Also our bed is green.
The beams of our house are cedar,
and our rafters are of fir.

Yes...."Douse my flaming hoop"
Douse my flaming hoop
ginger-snap vixen
polish my horn with fervor and abandon
Mystery shopper
Dark bow-legged consumer of
love biscuits
Riding lawn-mower
Toss,toss
Toss that biscuit to me...Big girl
