This one is my favorite
by Nikki Giovanni
Resignation
I love you
because the Earth turns round the sun
because the North wind blows north
sometimes
because the Pope is Catholic
and most Rabbis Jewish
because winters flow into spring
and the air clears after a storm
because only my love for you
despite the charms of gravity
keeps me from falling off the Earth
into another dimension
I love you
because it is the natural order of things
I love you
like the habit I picked up in college
of sleeping through lectures
or saying I'm sorry
when I get stopped for speeding
because I drink a glass of water
in the morning
and chain-smoke cigarettes
all through the day
because I take my coffee Black
and my milk with chocolate
because you keep my feet warm
though my life a mess
I love you
because I don't want it
any other way
I am helpless
in my love for you
It makes me so happy
to hear you call my name
I am amazed you can resist
locking me in an echo chamber
where your voice reverberates
through the four walls
sending me into spasmatic ecstasy
I love you
because it's been so good
for so long
that if I didn't love you
I'd have to be born again
and that is not a theological statement
I am pitiful in my love for you
The Dells tell me Love
is so simple
the thought though of you
sends indescribably delicious multitudinous
thrills throughout and through-in my body
I love you
because no two snowflakes are alike
and it is possible if you stand tippy-toe
to walk between the raindrops
I love you
because I am afraid of the dark
and can't sleep in the light
because I rub my eyes
when I wake up in the morning
and find you there
because you with all your magic powers were
determined that
I should love you
because there was nothing for you but that
I would love you
I love you
because you made me
want to love you
more than I love my privacy
my freedom my commitments
and responsibilities
I love you `cause I changed my life
to love you
because you saw me one friday
afternoon and decided that I would
love you
I love you I love you I love you

If you like Shakespeare, try and find a book of his sonnets. Most of them are about love.
Or there's those songs the clown sings in Twelfth Night, "O Mistress Mine", and "Come Away, Death."
If, for whatever reason, you can't, or don't want to, use Shakespeare, then here are some other suggestions.
Happy, Romantic look at love
"The Passionate Shepard to His Love," by Christopher Marlowe
Angry, Cynical look at love
"Nymphs Reply to the Shepherd" by Sir Walter Raleigh.
Actually, the second poem is written in reply to the first, so if you need this for an essay or something, it might be interesting to compare and contrast the views on love presented in each.
Other suggestions include:
"To Celia" by Ben Johnson (begins with famous line, drink to me only with thine eyes).
I'd also look into the songs of Thomas Campion, like "There is a Garden in Her Face," "Devotions I and II," "Thrice Toss These Oaken Ashes," "When to Her Lute Corinna Sings," "Laura," and so many more.
Other poems, not by contemporaries of the Bard, include:
"Anabel Lee" by Edgar Allen Poe
"She Walks in Beauty Like the Night" by George Gordon, Lord Byron
You can find all of these poems online, either by entering the titles into google, or going to this site:
http://www.bartleby.com/101/index.html
Bartelby.com has a reprint of an older edition of the Oxford Standard Book of English Verse, which should include almost all of the poems I mentioned. Some random surfing around that site might turn up some other good poems.

Kahlil Gibran wrote a book of poetry called Love Letters in the Sand.
"When the hand of Life is heavy and night songless, it is the time for love and trust. And how light the hand life becomes and how songful the night, when one is loving and trusting all"
There is no poet/philosopher more intuitive to the forces of emotion as Gibran.
