If You But Knew
Poet: UnknownIf you but knew
How all my days seemed filled with dreams of you,
How sometimes in the silent night
Your eyes thrill through me with their tender light,
How oft I hear your voice when others speak,
How you 'mid other forms I seek-
Oh, love more real than though such dreams were true
If you but knew.
Could you but guess
How you alone make all my happiness,
How I am more than willing for your sake
To stand alone, give all and nothing take,
Nor chafe to think you bound while I am free,
Quite free, till death, to love you silently,
Could you but guess.
Could you but learn
How when you doubt my truth I sadly yearn
To tell you all, to stand for one brief space
Unfettered, soul to soul, as face to face,
To crown you king, my king, till life shall end,
My lover and likewise my truest friend,
Would you love me, dearest, as fondly in return?
Could you but learn?
Tell Me Truly
Poet: Catherine PulsiferDo you love me, or is it pretend?
Is this a start, or just the end?
I see your smile, but is it real?
Do you truly feel the way I feel?
I long to know, but fear to ask,
Hiding my heart behind a mask.
If love’s not there, just let me see,
But tell me truly - do you love me?
Love Is Not Poems
Do You Love Me
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011How do I know if you love me,
Will you just come out and say so?
I wish I could see them, but the signs aren't gleaming,
And it's hard to know if you're my beau.
I really need to find out,
If the love that I feel is shared,
So here I go now, to confront my love,
And see if we'll always be paired.
Let Me See...
Poet: Catherine PulsiferDo you love me, oh, let me see -
Would you share your last cookie with me?
Will you laugh at my silly jokes,
Or forgive me when I lose my socks?
Do you love me, when I dance so wild,
Or sing off-key like a little child?
Would you brave my cooking, just one more time,
And still declare that you're glad you're mine?
If the answer’s yes, then here’s my reply:
I love you more than apple pie!
So let’s keep laughing, through thick and thin,
A playful love, where we both win!
Famous Love Poems
I Will Not Give Thee All My Heart
Poet: Grace H. ConklingI will not give thee all my heart
For that I need a place apart
To dream my dreams in, and I know
Few sheltered ways for dreams to go:
But when I shut the door upon
Some secret wonder - still, withdrawn -
Why dost thou love me even more,
And hold me closer than before?
When I of Love demand the least,
Thou biddest him to fire and feast:
When I am hungry and would eat.
There be no bread, though crusts were sweet
If I with manna may be fed.
Shall I go all uncomforted?
Nay! Howsoever dear thou art,
I will not give thee all my heart.
I Often Wonder
Poet: Kate SummersYou say the words but I often wonder
Do you really mean the "I love you"
Do you think of our love and ponder
Are your words really true?
Is it deep in your heart?
Is it just a passing feeling?
Do you feel we will never part?
Or is it just like a greeting?
Let me tell you how I feel
I love you without a doubt
My love is true and real
A love that will never wear out.
Love Me Still?
Poet: Catherine PulsiferDo you love me, even when I’m a mess,
When my worries pile, and I confess?
Do you love me on those tougher days,
When smiles are few, and clouds don’t fade?
I know we’ve climbed some rocky hills,
Faced the storms and felt the chills.
But through it all, your hand I find,
Reminding me, your love’s still kind.
So I ask not out of doubt or fear,
But to hear the words I hold so dear.
Do you love me, as I love you?
Through highs and lows, we'll see it through.
Short Poems Asking Do You Love Me
A Simple Question
Do you love me, as the stars love the night,Holding me close through dark and light?
I ask not to doubt, but to hear you say,
"I love you more with each passing day."
Just a Smile
Do you love me, when words can’t convey,The little things said in your quiet way?
A glance, a smile, that shows it’s true,
Yes, I love you—and I know you do too.
Through the Storm
Do you love me, when the skies turn gray,When life feels heavy and plans go astray?
With your hand in mine, I know we’ll stay,
Together in love, come what may.
Forever With You
A Playful Ask
Do you love me, or should I guess?Would you still hug me in my worst dress?
Your laugh says yes, your eyes agree,
I love you more, can’t you see?
Forever and Always
Do you love me, as seasons change,Through life’s routine and moments strange?
Your love, a constant, steady and true,
Forever and always, I’ll love you too.
