Poems For Couples

A relationship is a connection between two individuals. When a couple falls in love it has become a loving relationship. The relationship has moved from two people simply in contact with each other to two people who can't get enough of each other. A loving relationship may build slowly like a train coming in the distance until when it gets to you it emits a deafening roar. Or you may be two people totally oblivious to the relationship that is developing when suddenly you are hit with the realization that you have fallen in love. People are complex and love develops in different ways.

  3. 2. How Do I Love You?

    My wife and I have been married for 42 years. It has NOT been easy! Sometimes you have to suck it up and let love keep you together. I'm really not a romantic person, but early on, I used to write little ditties to my honey to keep the fires burning. This is a short conglomerate of some of the things I wrote. I hope you can understand their true meaning.

    If you see the pain upon my face, it's not so hard to take.
    Although it hurts a lot sometimes, it's a very special ache.
    If I seem to be uneasy or appear to be so blue,
    It's just my heart's too small to hold all the love I feel for you.

    Too many rush into the wrong choices...we need to slow down, look and breathe before we jump.

    Love is an emotion we feel too quick.
    Time is what we need, this is the trick.

    "Love is an emotion we feel too quick"
    "It's an emotion that touches your soul"
    That's the naked truth, and when you rush it out, your soul will end up being crashed and torn into pieces...

    This poem is about a new relationship. As you probably agree, new relationships can be quite stressful but also quite rewarding. There are often questions unasked and unanswered. Sometimes the best thing to have is patience.

  10. 8. Moon That Moves My Tides

    My now ex-wife and I recently divorced, and I wrote this poem for her before she decided she wanted a divorce. I worked on this while I was unable to sleep and used the pain I was feeling and put it on paper. Kept revising it, and this is the most recent revision.

  12. 10. Never Look Back

    This poem is about an old couple who, despite all their bickering and arguing, still love one another. They sit together and are comfortable being grumpy and are still being carried along by whatever life has to throw at them. This is a poem written for my mum and dad.

  13. 11. A Lost And Found For Love

    What's this thing called love? For some, it's as if their heart had wings! For others, it's like their heart was being crushed! Still others see it as entrapment and ends up being a big pain in the butt! We all have our own recipes for true love. Mine is truth, trust and time.

  14. 12. My Love

    I'm a 26-year-old mother from Ireland. I have lived most of my adult life in England. I have always been interested in writing. Although poetry has always been a love of mine, I never wrote anything meaningful up until now. Being a single mother has meant I've spent a lot of time doing jobs I hate just to get by, but now I am more focused on my writing as it's my passion.

    And walked away with my heart.

  15. 13. Advice To A Girl

    Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) was an American poet who wrote seven books of poetry during her lifetime. Many of her poems focused on the emotional development of women. In this poem, the opening lines are repeated at the end, bringing attention to the theme of this poem that no one is in control of who you are. Each person has value and cannot be possessed by another.

    No one worth possessing
    Can be quite possessed;
    Lay that on your heart,
    My young angry dear;

  16. 14. Love Throughout Time

    I write what my heart tells me to and the way it tells me to write. I originally wrote this poem for my girlfriend at our 10-month milestone in our relationship, and I've decided that this poem could be relatable to others, and I want to share it with the world. Maybe one day someone will pass it on to a loved one completing the symbol of love through time.

  19. 17. Do You Know?

    My daughter broke up with a wonderful guy of 5 years to date someone who is abusive, controlling, and so wrong for her. I feel as if he stripped her innocence away, and it breaks my heart seeing her in that kind of relationship. The worst part is that I blame myself because those are the kind of men I always chose, and she had to watch ALL HER LIFE. Now I have a wonderful relationship with a kind, wonderful man, but it's too late. As a parent, we are always examples to our children.

  21. 19. A Love Almost Lost

    The night I met my wife, I took her for a ride on a four wheeler. When she got on the back I told her to hold on, but she only grabbed my shirt. So I gave it "full throttle" to make her grab ahold of me tighter. We fell in love fast and after ten years started drifting apart. I thought I no longer loved her until one night I heard the song from Travis Tritt, "Anymore," and I remembered all the good. Since then we both had looked back on our life together and realized we were meant to be together.

  22. 20. Colors Of Me

    I wrote this poem for my boyfriend. We have known each other for 4 years, but we've only been a couple for six months. I was married for 18 years before this. He has been broken down and thrown away several times by past relationships. I wrote this to let him know that I would never do that. Loving someone who is broken is very hard and difficult at times. But once you break through the walls, it can be better than you can ever imagine.
