Does anyone know of a really romantic poem for valentines day?

Question

for my b/f.......no silly or humerous ones please......thanks

Answer 1

Listen to some rascal flatts songs. In particular, listen to "The Broken Road". I can't listen to that song without being on the verge of tears. It's what everyone wants to hear and feel about their love life.
That one gets me everrrrry time. [Song lyrics are poetry, in my book, btw.]
Even if u don't like country, I promise u'll love this song... sigh!!!

lol, one more thing... notice how this is a WOMAN planning out V-day a solid 2 weeks in advance, and not a man. [Attention males: there is a lesson in all of this] I hope your dude is gonna do something good. I've already got a chicka gathering planned out myself.

Answer 2

I like the selection at the link below - classic ones that have stood the test of time.

Lots to choose from, but one lovely one is:

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 are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a 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 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)





I am a sucker for e e cummins.

This was running through my mind later, and is a classic, very romantic one:

Love's Philosophy
~ 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 another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could 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?

Answer 3

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;
And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in:
And with the juice of this I'll streak her eyes,
And make her full of hateful fantasies.
Take thou some of it, and seek through this grove:
A sweet Athenian lady is in love
With a disdainful youth: anoint his eyes;
But do it when the next thing he espies
May be the lady: thou shalt know the man
By the Athenian garments he hath on.
Effect it with some care, that he may prove
More fond on her than she upon her love:
And look thou meet me ere the first cockcrow.

Answer 4

O my love is like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June;

My love like the melody

That's sweetly played in tune.




As fair art thou, my bonny lass,

So deep in love am I;

And I will love 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;

I will love thee still, my dear,

While the sands o' life shall run.




And fare thee weel, my only love!

And fare thee weel, awhile!

And I will come again, my love

Though it were ten thousand mile.

It is by Robert Burns and is aimed at a woman, but I once wrote this in a card I made for my Husband, and he really liked it.

Answer 5

Don't know of any poems...but you could always pinch some lyrics from a good song. They can sound like poetry when spoken.

Answer 6

Pretty much anything by Elizabeth Barratt Browning, she wrote some really beautiful things. Try the book 'Sonnets from the Portugese'

My favourite one I can never remember the title of, but it starts 'How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.'

Hope this helps

Answer 7

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.
