Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
My life without you would be so empty and blue,
I'd yearn for some excitement to inspire me anew.
Without your laughter and loving touch,
How my heart would miss you very much!
The days would stretch long and lonely,
The sweet companionship of you only.
You are the one that fills any space of emptiness I have,
For all the love we share together is something that won't pass.
Your caring ways I appreciate so much,
It's your special presence I crave in my clutch!
To you my love, I just want to say,
Love you forever, not just today.
I Miss You Poems
Poet: Algernon Charles Swinburne
If love were what the rose is,
And I were like the leaf,
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather,
Blown fields or flowerful closes,
Green pleasure or gray grief;
If love were what the rose is,
And I were like the leaf.
If I were what the words are,
And love were like the tune,
With double sound and single
Delight our lips would mingle,
With kisses glad as birds are
That get sweet rain at noon;
If I were what the words are
And love were like the tune.
If you were life, my darling,
And I your love were death,
We'd shine and snow together
Ere March made sweet the weather
With daffodil and starling
And hours of fruitful breath;
If you were life, my darling,
And I your love were death.
If you were thrall to sorrow,
And I were page to joy,
We'd play for lives and seasons
With loving looks and treasons
And tears of night and morrow
And laughs of maid and boy;
If you were thrall to sorrow,
And I were page to joy.
If you were April's lady,
And I were lord in May,
We'd throw with leaves for hours
And draw for days with flowers,
Till day like night were shady
And night were bright like day;
If you were April's lady,
And I were lord in May.
If you were queen of pleasure,
And I were king of pain,
We'd hunt down love together,
Pluck out his flying feather,
And teach his feet a measure,
And find his mouth a rein;
If you were queen of pleasure,
And I were king of pain.
Valentines Day Poems
Poet: David V. Bush
Where are you, dear? Though long ago
You spurned my love so true,
Think not my heart as false as his,
Who has forsaken you.
How gladly would I give my life
To bring you joy once more;
For still my heart cries out for you,
As in the days of yore.
Come back to me, wherever you are,
Nor deem all men untrue;
For mine is love as free from taint
As when I sued for you.
Such love as mine can never die,
Though weary years have passed;
The love I bore you long ago
Is loyal to the last.
Come back, come back, my only love!
My heart cries out in pain.
Let no vain pride or foolish fear
Your yielding heart restrain.
I love you, O, I love you still,
Though you are far away;
With burning heart and eager lips,
For your return I pray.
I know you loved me, though you wed
For gold, and scorned my plea;
No longer strive to wrong your heart,
But bring it back to me.
Wherever you are, O linger not.
Nor yield to doubt or fear.
The wrong lies buried in the past;
And only love is here.
O tell me where you wait, my dear,
And turn to me today.
Come back to him who loves you most,
I plead, I beg, I pray.
The future years shall make us both
Forget the ancient wrong;
And every happy day shall find
Our union firm and strong.
Wherever you are, I know full well
Our hearts in union beat;
And parting only makes the hope
Of meeting seem more sweet.
O let me fold you to my breast;
My soul is yours for aye;
And I'll forget, forgive and love,
Forever and a day.
Come back to me, come back to me,
Nor linger in the past;
Wherever you are, my heart is yours,
And shall be to the last.
Do You Love Me Poems
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Oh my love, how I adore thee
Your beauty is so pure and divine
My heartbeat skips when you're near me
These feelings no words can define.
When I'm with you everything's perfect
Together we bask in each other's presence
My dreams have come true since I've met you
My love, my life, my essence.
I Love You Poems
Poet: George W. Curtis
Sing again the song you sung
When we were together young —
When there were but you and I
Underneath the summer sky.
Sing the song, and o'er and o'er,
Though I know that nevermore
Will it seem the song you sung
When we were together young.
more Short Love Quotes
Poet: Ellen T. Fowler
The summer's story
Has reached its glory,
Fulfilling all the sweet dreams of May;
The daylight lingers,
With rosy fingers
Defying night on the longest day,
Yet I remember
No dark December
When sunbeams seemed to elude delay
Like those which measure
The hours of pleasure
I spend with you on the longest day.
With you beside me
To cheer and guide me,
I feel - whatever the sages say -
That evening shadows
Across the meadows
Come all too soon on the longest day.
If we together
Face sunny weather,
And love each other when skies are gray,
Life's span shall be, dear,
To you and me, dear,
As short and sweet as the longest day.
And, dearest, after
The tears and laughter
Are all forgotten and passed away,
We two forever,
Where night falls never,
Will spend together the longest day.
