Short Love Poems for Him

The Child In Him
By Jean Gabor

“I loved the child in him
so innocent and sweet
The mischief in his eyes
the blush upon his cheek
The tender way he spoke
that showed me that he cared
The touch of his warm hand
that gently touched my hair
The smiles that we shared
that filled my life with glee
For when I was with him
I found the child in me”

He Loves Me
By Nicola Edmanson

“If love asks a question, do not deceive
For the truth is the answer, I only believe

If my heart should open, love do not fear
Or if my eyes in happiness shed a tear

Let the wind in my soul blow you away
And the sun in my heart brighten your day

If love and life I was asked to compare
Both of these with you I wish to share”

Short Love Poems for Boyfriends

Can I Keep You?
By Mele Luhama Piutau

“Lives are for living I live for you
Dreams are for dreaming I dream for you
Hearts are for beating mine beats for you
Angels are for keeping. Can I keep you?”

What is Love?
By Robert Louis Stevenson

“To friends at home, the lone, the admired, the lost
The gracious old, the lovely young, to May
The fair, December the beloved,
These from my blue horizon and green isles,
These from this pinnacle of distances I,
The unforgetful, dedicate.”

Short Love Poems for Her

Idle Dreams
By Joanna Fuchs

“In idle dreams of long ago,
I imagined my true love;
A perfect match, a soulmate,
An angel from above.
Now you’re here, and now I know
Our love will stay and thrive and grow.”

Evening Song
By Sidney Lanier

“Look off, dear Love, across the sallow sands,
And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea;
How long they kiss in sight of all the lands,
Ah! longer, longer we.

Come forth, sweet stars, and comfort heaven’s heart,
Glimmer, ye waves, ’round else unlighted sands;
Oh night! divorce our sun and sky apart
Never our lips, our hands.”

Two Very Short Love Poems

One Day My Prince Will Come
By Paul Curtis

“Remember all you maidens
From the Isle of Dogs
Before you find a prince
You must kiss a lot of frogs.”

Your Hazel Green Eyes
By Nicholas Gordon

“Your hazel green eyes
Are like woods on a warm spring day
When leaves have just unfolded
And slender branches thick with sap
Bend under the weight of songful birds.
I look into your eyes and see
A timeless world of sun and breezes,
Of shade and dappled love,
As I gaze from my sunlit doorway.”
