I Love You
- By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Famous Poem

Ella Wheeler was born in 1850 on a farm in Wisconsin, the youngest of four children. She wrote numerous poems starting when she was 7 years old. During her life, Wilcox received many rejection letters before a publisher gave her books of poetry a chance. Despite these rejections, Wilcox remained very optimistic. Her best-known poetry book was Poems of Passion (1883). In her later years she went to France during World War 1 to lecture to the soldiers, and assist with the Red Cross.

in Famous Love Poems

I love your lips when they’re wet with wine
And red with a wild desire;
I love your eyes when the lovelight lies
Lit with a passionate fire.

I love your lips when they’re wet with wine
And red with a wild desire;
I love your eyes when the lovelight lies
Lit with a passionate fire.
I love your arms when the warm white flesh
Touches mine in a fond embrace;
I love your hair when the strands enmesh
Your kisses against my face.

Not for me the cold, calm kiss
Of a virgin’s bloodless love;
Not for me the saint’s white bliss,
Nor the heart of a spotless dove.
But give me the love that so freely gives
And laughs at the whole world’s blame,
With your body so young and warm in my arms,
It sets my poor heart aflame.

So kiss me sweet with your warm wet mouth,
Still fragrant with ruby wine,
And say with a fervor born of the South
That your body and soul are mine.
Clasp me close in your warm young arms,
While the pale stars shine above,
And we’ll live our whole young lives away
In the joys of a living love.

My One, My Only, My Everything
- By D Lancaster
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2015 with permission of the Author.
This is a story of young, unrequited love that finds its way. I loved her from the 1st day. Sadly, the love was not returned. We stayed friends for years, but lost contact. When we found each other again, her feelings mirrored mine, as I always wished they would. We are now happily in love, and have been for a number of years.

Love Finds A Way

in True Love Poems

For so long, I wished for the day.
The day that our love would find its way.
From my heart and into your soul,
The feeling so strong, I had no control.

For so long, I wished for the day.
The day that our love would find its way.
From my heart and into your soul,
The feeling so strong, I had no control.

When that day came, when I found you again,
I vowed never to make the same mistake.
I knew I would never let you go,
For my life is now complete in a way I cannot show.

For eternity I will spend making you believe,
You are the sole reason that I breathe.
My life is yours, my hopes and desires too.
Until my dying day, my heart is reserved just for you.

You are everything I could ever need and more,
More than I deserve or would dare wish for.
You are my baby, my angel, my dream girl.
I'm thankful every day that you are my whole world.

For the time I spend with you, my heart truly sings.
My one, my only, my EVERYTHING.

A Good Woman
- By Carol Naumann
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2006 with permission of the Author.
This poem is for husbands, filled with good advice on how to treat your wife.

Poem About How To Treat Your Wife

in Wife Poems

One you should treasure, but not as a possession,
Who needs to be loved, not treated with aggression.
Her value is more than all the world's treasures,
Not just the sum of scale's unit measures.

One you should treasure, but not as a possession,
Who needs to be loved, not treated with aggression.
Her value is more than all the world's treasures,
Not just the sum of scale's unit measures.
She should always be built up, not torn down,
By all the words you speak, when she is around.
She needs to be hugged and not pushed away,
Especially when you are both having a really bad day.
Words spoken to her in haste and anger
Can place her fragile heart in danger.
She should be admired for her boundless love,
And looked upon as a true gift from Above.
Not used as a target for all your frustration,
But held close and kissed with loving admiration.
You should always appreciate her commitment to you,
And not take for granted what she's given up for you!
Kiss her and love her all that you possibly can,
And don't be embarrassed to be seen holding her hand.
Treasure each day as if it were the last,
And at the end of your life you won't be regretting your past.

I Love You
- By Adrian Jackson
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2010 with permission of the Author.
I have a girlfriend I have been waiting for, and she is the best there is. I fell in love with her from the very first time I laid eyes on her. I would never hurt her in any way. She completes me. I hope those who read my poem learn that love doesn't cost a penny. It's all about trust and faith. This poem is for my one and only Myra.

Poem For Girlfriend Love Forever

in Poems for Her

My love for you will never fade.
With both our feelings combined is how love is made.

You give me the strength to stand up tall.

My love for you will never fade.
With both our feelings combined is how love is made.

You give me the strength to stand up tall.
You reach out for my hand every time I'm about to fall.

There is not a day you're not on my mind.
A person like you is really hard to find.

A weekend without you is so hard to do.
I cannot even live a day without you.

I love to hold you and hold your hand.
From this day on, you are my very best friend.

I'm happy to wake up beside you every day.
"I love you" are my favorite words you always say.

I love it when I look in your eyes.
I see no hatred and no lies.

Forever in my heart is where you will be.
Nobody else will enter because you have the only key.

Just to keep you, there isn't anything I wouldn't do.
Because babe, I love you.

Love? No. Fate? I Think So
- By Tammy Luu
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2011 with permission of the Author.
Some may think it's just a poem by a teenager in lust. Yes, it's corny and exaggerated. However, it's not an excuse to talk about a crush. I've only met him once. For me, this poem means something because I wrote it in the midst of my confusion about my strong feelings. I barely know the guy, yet, and this is cliché, I can't get him out of my mind. I'm usually very casual with guys, but I had to try really hard to act normal.

in Teen Crush Poems

I knew the day we met
That we were meant to be.
I knew our fate was set,
That you were the one for me.

I knew the day we met
That we were meant to be.
I knew our fate was set,
That you were the one for me.

I didn't even know you.
I only knew your name.
I wasn't sure what to do.
I didn't know who to blame.

I knew I found you attractive.
I could tell that you were nice.
The butterflies were so active
That I couldn't think twice.

Everything I did that day
Didn't show you who I am.
Every time you came my way
My heart began to ram.

My actions weren't natural.
My reactions weren't real.
I felt so very terrible,
But my heart I did not wield.

And when the group said goodbye to me,
My eyes were fixed on you.
I knew I was trying to see
If you felt the same way too.

I liked you when I saw your face,
But maybe it was the touch.
My heart had begun to race.
I already liked you too much.

I knew the day we met
That we were meant to be.
I knew our fate was set
As friends, as lovers, as enemies.

You Are My Sunshine
- By Donna Donathan

I wrote this 28 years ago for someone very special in my life...

in Sweet Love Poems

You brought me sunshine
when I only saw rain.
You brought me laughter
when I only felt pain.

You brought me sunshine
when I only saw rain.
You brought me laughter
when I only felt pain.

Romantics at heart?
Love at first sight?
Have I known you before?
God! This feels so right!

Have I met you before?
Another time, another place?
If it's only one night,
will it bring us disgrace?

What are these feelings?
Must they be temporary?
Just to make you happy
seems so necessary.

I want you to know,
'cause I'll never forget -
knowing your smile,
your kisses and yet...

Dreams are something,
that can't always come true,
nothing more we can say,
nothing more we can do.

You're My Forever
- By Jim Contarino

I never really considered myself a poet, but my wife has brought it out of me I guess. I have never submitted anything up to this point. I have a rough exterior but hide a kind interior.

in Love Poems about Marriage

You're so special - more than you know and more than I show.
You're my soul mate, you're my lover, you're all that I know.

It's your smile and it's your eyes; it's your heart and it's your cries.

You're so special - more than you know and more than I show.
You're my soul mate, you're my lover, you're all that I know.

It's your smile and it's your eyes; it's your heart and it's your cries.
I'll love you forever, even long after we die.

You're my friend and you're my life.
You're my light and you're my wife.

You're my shoulder and my strength.
I would die for you and go to any length.

You're the person I need and the one who is there.
I have you right now, and it doesn't seem fair.

'Cause right now isn't enough and forever is too soon.
Without you I would die and not know what to do.

You're more than a friend and more than a wife, too.
You're my forever, and forever isn't long enough for me and you.

There's a place in heaven waiting just for you.
I pray there is room right there beside you for me, too.

You're a beautiful soul, and I could forget you never.
I just pray that we are always together now and forever.

They say silence is Golden,

They say silence is Golden,
I believe it is true,
Because in that Golden silence,

You are the flame in my candle
that lights the darkness of my room,
You are the scented flowers
that makes my heart full bloom.

You are the butterflies
that flicker in my stomach all day long,
When I know I will be holding you
before my day is done.

You are the stars that shimmer and shine,
You light up the skies above
In this Golden silence
it's truly you I love.

You are the thunder of the night,
your lightning strikes whenever,
Into my soul that makes me whole,
and excites my heart forever.

You are my paradise, my oceans wide,
My mountains standing tall,
So in this Golden Silence
I love you most of all.

Poem about remembering falling in love, sharing a life, and rekindling love.

Remembering And Rekindling Love

in Relationship Poems

Remember when we first did meet,
our hearts rejoiced and skipped a beat.
Remember our first kiss goodnight,
the hug we shared that summer's night.

Remember when we first did meet,
our hearts rejoiced and skipped a beat.
Remember our first kiss goodnight,
the hug we shared that summer's night.

Remember when we walked the beach
and all our dreams within our reach.
Remember how we used to be
when I had you and you had me.

Remember when we used to talk,
when we held hands and took long walks.
Remember how we spent our days
in warm sunshine and in the rain.

Remember when our one desire
was take a chance and ignite the fire.
Remember the times that made our hearts melt
and all of the passion and desire that we felt.

Remember when you looked at me
and saw the one you love and need.
Remember when you reached for me
and knew that we were meant to be.

Remember when our love was new.
Remember the day we both said, "I do."
Remember the journey we started together.
Remember our love was always forever.

Remember the promise we made together,
to love and to cherish and to care for each other.
Remember the promise in good times and in bad
and to make each one happy rather than sad.

Remember when you held our child
and rocked the baby when I grew tired.
Remember the treasured times
like these when love grew into family.

Remember when the world was bright,
when we would laugh and hold on tight.
Remember when our hearts were broken,
when times were tough and words unspoken.

Remember when we grieved our loss
with parents gone and feeling lost.
Remember when our love endured
the pains and heartaches of the world.

What happened to the life we shared?
What happened to a love so rare?
What happened to the kiss goodnight,
the warm embrace, the love at night?

Did it all just happen? How do we right the wrong?
I know that in my heart your arms I do belong.

Can we live our lives together just like it all began,
and can we hold and cherish each other and remember our love again?

A sweet, romantic poem about what it feels like to fall in love.

in Falling in Love Poems

How happy I am to be in love with you.
I want to scream from my lungs till I'm breathless and blue.
I want the world to know how excited I am
To be in love with this gorgeous, perfect man.

How happy I am to be in love with you.
I want to scream from my lungs till I'm breathless and blue.
I want the world to know how excited I am
To be in love with this gorgeous, perfect man.

How lucky I am; I feel crazy inside.
I'm riding the big roller coaster of pride.
My mind bombarded with thoughts of you.
Is this the beginning of something new?

How creative I am when it comes to romance,
But you are my music, and I want to dance.
I arouse to your passion; you spice up my desires.
Each pulse in my body burns through me like fires.

How smitten I am with those eyes of green
That run through my heart like the deepest ravine.
And what of your smile, makes me weak at the knees,
Sweeps me off my feet like a powerful breeze.

How excited I am as I anxiously wait
For you to arrive for our special date.
You bring roses and wine, a candle or two.
Lucky stars shine brighter for me and for you.

How ecstatic I am; my heart races and thumps.
Thinking of you, I get little goose bumps.
You're affectionate, alluring, funny, and smart,
Definitely molded to a very fine art.

How my emotions have taken over me,
And suddenly life's better completely, you see.
You are one in a million; I have to be true.
I am now understanding the magic of you.

Angel, your heart I will keep warm and protect,
For I value your love with the utmost respect.
I hope this beginning will remain magical and new,
Because nowhere I'll find another lover like you.

Love's Coming
- By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Famous Poem

Ella Wheeler Wilcox was an American author and poet who lived from 1850-1919. Her goal was to write pieces that lifted people’s spirits. In this poem, she writes of the great expectation of falling in love--that it will be an earth shattering moment, but the girl she writes about finds that she has fallen in love with someone who has always been by her side and is considered a close friend. That love has stood the test of time. This poem is made up of quatrains, four-line stanzas, that have a rhyme scheme of ABCB. The structure is also very intentional. The first two lines of each stanza show what the speaker hopes for when it comes to love, and the second two lines of each stanza reveal her reality.

in Famous Love Poems

She had looked for his coming as warriors come,
With the clash of arms and the bugle's call;
But he came instead with a stealthy tread,
Which she did not hear at all.

She had looked for his coming as warriors come,
With the clash of arms and the bugle's call;
But he came instead with a stealthy tread,
Which she did not hear at all.

She had thought how his armor would blaze in the sun,
As he rode like a prince to claim his bride:
In the sweet dim light of the falling night
She found him at her side.

She had dreamed how the gaze of his strange, bold eye
Would wake her heart to a sudden glow:
She found in his face the familiar grace
Of a friend she used to know.

She had dreamed how his coming would stir her soul,
As the ocean is stirred by the wild storm's strife:
He brought her the balm of a heavenly calm,
And a peace which crowned her life.

Colours Of Romance
- By Randy Batiquin
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2018 with permission of the Author.
This poem was written several years ago for a beautiful someone I had a crush on. I remember I was head-over-heels in love with her, or at least that was what I was thinking. I was so inspired and wanted to play with words to express what I felt. Her name's CHRISNA. And because I intended to publish this poem in our school newsletter, and also didn't want to be so obvious, I hid a code in the poem and hope maybe somehow she'll notice. The first letter of each stanza spells her name.

Painting Love With Words

in Falling in Love Poems

Calm the winds as angels sing.
Lovers' tune and flowers bring
little buds caressed by dew
sending pretty thoughts of you.

Calm the winds as angels sing.
Lovers' tune and flowers bring
little buds caressed by dew
sending pretty thoughts of you.

Hearts entwined with heav'nly bliss
spell the most romantic kiss,
yearning for the sweetest place
nowhere less in your embrace.

Ringing bells of autumn air,
whispers of my love and care
set the mood, begin the dance
paint the colours of romance.

Inside out, your beauty shows.
Inside me, this feeling grows.
'Tis your hair, your voice, your smiles,
'tis your most angelic eyes.

Sparkling stars will soon reveal
shifting breeze that ever will
hold the sentimental light.
Let the love consume the night.

Nevermore will dreams expire.
Keep it burning, guard the fire.
Hold my hand and don't let go.
Feel my heart and you will know.

Amber-hued the sunset sails,
leaving dust of loving trails,
chanting words that say I do.
Princess, I'm in love with you.

My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun
- By William Shakespeare
Famous Poem

Poem about an ordinary relationship between lovers that is extraordinary. This poem is written in the form of a sonnet, which is a 14 line rhyming poem that has its origins in Italy. This poem makes fun of passionate love poetry in which the poet imagines that their lover is more spectacular than anything in the universe. Instead, the poet maintains that his relationship with his lover is as unique and magnificent as any other although his lover is an ordinary woman.

in Famous Love Poems

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
