Short Love Poems

Short Sweet Love Poems

A love poem will not always be long and flowery. Sometimes what you need to say can be very short. In fact it may be the fact that the poem is short that makes it special. Its short length may show that you put the time and effort in to make every word count. You considered carefully every word choice. Every word choice has a reason behind it. A short poem can be the ultimate act of romance when it is given the time and effort that it deserves.

Just talking to you makes my day.
I love you, honey, with all of my heart.
Together forever and never to part.

Before I met my boyfriend, I was very depressed, felt alone, and didn't know where I belonged in the world.

You look at me as if I'm the only girl around.

You've shown me how to live,

To love someone each and every day.

So this poem goes out to you
For everything you've done,
And I hope now you understand
That baby, you're the one!

I love you!

Poem About First Time Love

Laid my head upon your chest
Your arms encircled me,
It was, My Love, as if we were
What God meant us to be,

Laid my head upon your chest
Your arms encircled me,
It was, My Love, as if we were
What God meant us to be,

I closed my eyes and heard your heart
Your soft smile in my hair,
I'd never felt so whole and safe
Our hearts beating as a pair,

You found my eyes and told me of
A love for me undying,
I kissed your face and knew right then
It was in Heaven we were lying.
