True Love Poems

Every individual perceives love as it comes to him/her. In this way, the definition of love may be quite different from two people.

While some opine that love is a few days' merriment and life long misery, there are some who defines love as a strong attachment you feel for someone special.

Be it your parents, your friends, your children or your love interest, the feelings of love differs from each other. No matter whom you love, it can be best expressed through love poems.

From post-Elizabethan day to the modern times, the way to express love is love poems. Some of the greatest love poets like Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, Dryden, Keats, and Robert Browning had written some of the immortal verses about love.

Given below are some extracts from the true love poems written by some renowned poets of the world.

The poet here wants to immortalize his beloved through this love verse. The poet knows that everything in this world is subject to decay. But he wants his lady to be undying through his verse.

When the readers would read this poem, they can actually feel how much the poet loved his lady.

Romeo and Juliet is one of the greatest love stories in the world. This immortal love poem extract from the famous drama truly signifies true love.

Juliet knows that Romeo is the son of her father's enemy but she wonders why she has to fall in love with him. She also wished that she or Romeo belongs to another family. This is a longing of a heart full of love for someone.

The third one, which is an emotional love quote, signifies sacrifice in love. Despite the fact that his beloved is leaving him for another man, the poet wants all the happiness for her.

Only he is asking for a last ride together with her, which will remind him about his togetherness with her. In this poem, he also expresses his proud that he has at least achieved something in love in contrast to all the failures around.

The fourth poem is a passionate poem, which reflects the true love of the poet for his beloved. In this extract, the poet wished that had he not had her in his life, he would prefer death.

This shows pure and deep feeling of love for his lady love. If you also love someone truly and deeply, these love poems can be an ideal way to express your heart.

The Definition Of Love - Andrew Marvell

My love is of a birth as rare
As 'tis for object strange and high:
It was begotten by Despair
Upon Impossibility.

Magnanimous Despair alone
Could show me so divine a thing,
Where feeble Hope could ne'er have flown
But vainly flapped its tinsel wing.

And yet I quickly might arrive
Where my extended soul is fixed
But Fate does iron wedges drive,
And always crowds itself betwixt.

For Fate with jealous eye does see
Two perfect loves, nor lets them close:
Their union would her ruin be,
And her tyrranic power depose.

And therefore her decrees of steel
Us as the distant Poles have placed
(Though Love's whole world on us doth wheel)
Not by themselves to be embraced,
Unless the giddy heaven fall,
And earth some new convulsion tear;
And, us to join, the world should all
Be cramped into a planisphere.

As lines (so loves) oblique may well
Themselves in every angle greet:
But ours so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet.

Therefore the love which us doth bind,
But Fate so enviously debars,
Is the conjunction of the mind,
And opposition of the stars.

Am I Crazy Or This Is Love? - By Moreno

"It seems you were sent straight to me from above
Your smile is bright enough to bring the day
Your eyes so blue, I just have to say
There couldn't be anything more perfect in one place
Your beauty is much deeper than just your face
They say love takes time but yet . . . .
It feels as if we've already met
It feels like we were meant to be
Together forever . . . You and Me"

Clouds Of Love - By Weisskamp

"On the night I met you,
My heart stopped beating
It froze with desire,
At what I was seeing.
On this night for us
That shoud'nt have been,
What lay ahead nobody could see.
You alone started these flames
Of wanting desire,
A million seas couldn't quench the fire.
But love isn't always the easy friend,
You have to sail the storm
To recieve the love you send.
So till the day comes
That these arms can hold you near,
I'll sail the storms and watch
As the clouds disapear."

A Whisper Sweet- By Joyce Hemsley

"Basket full of pretty posies
From the "you" I love,
Both of us to talk together
Under stars above.

A whisper sweet discloses
The magic that you feel,
I'm delighted with the roses,
Roses tell me love is real.

We sing a song of rainbows
To the tune of a lullaby,
You and I both wearing halos
So in love ~ as time goes by."
