Love Poem - Words
Here is a simple but poignant love poem by Kaylie Marceca names "words"
why would I want to know the truth when all your truths do is hurt me
all your false truths ever did was lead you to abandon and desert me
I never know if your words will be twisted or everything I need to hear
blurred, and confusing or crystal clear
but whatever the words, tears will come to my eyes
my heart full of regret and regret for the goodbye
why would I want to know the truth when all your truths do is hurt me
all your false truths ever did was lead you to abandon and desert me
I never know if your words will be twisted or everything I need to hear
blurred, and confusing or crystal clear
but whatever the words, tears will come to my eyes
my heart full of regret and regret for the goodbye

Love Poem - Do Not Doubt I Love You
Please enjoy the following love poem.
Do not doubt I love you, even though
My actions may have undermined my words.
We could be as connubial as birds
Had I not let my wild longings show.
I cannot help wanting to devour
All the world that comes before my eyes;
But more than all the world is that which lies
Within the precious circle of our bower.
I'll do anything to keep you with me;
Our love will last as long as you have will.
Despite my untamed need, my love is still
A rock against the surges of the sea.
Do not doubt I love you, even though
My actions may have undermined my words.
We could be as connubial as birds
Had I not let my wild longings show.
I cannot help wanting to devour
All the world that comes before my eyes;
But more than all the world is that which lies
Within the precious circle of our bower.
I'll do anything to keep you with me;
Our love will last as long as you have will.
Despite my untamed need, my love is still
A rock against the surges of the sea.

How to Write a Love Poem
For the cash-strapped, or romantically inclined, writing a sincere, well thought out love poem may be just the ticket to your loved one's heart. It is easy to express your true feelings and thoughts in free-verse rather than rhyme. You don't need to be a Shelley or Shakespeare to write a great poem. All it takes is sincerity, a little effort and a loving feeling.
Steps
Write a page of standard prose, as fast as you can, about how you felt the first time you saw your loved one, how you felt the first time you knew you were in love, and how you feel right now about being together. These three moments in time will create the structure of your poem.
Replace any weak verbs with stronger verbs and any pronouns with proper nouns. Words depicting taste, touch, sight, smell and sound work really well for love poems.
Reread your passage and pick a central metaphor to tie the three moments together. Choosing a metaphor is the most challenging part, but don't hesitate to be wild with it. An opening flower is a tried and true metaphor for love, but a slow-motion explosion in reverse or a baby's first step might work even better.
Rewrite your passage using the metaphor to describe the three moments.
Read your page out loud, changing anything that sounds "off" to you. Make notations where you feel there's even the slightest pause in the flow of writing.
Write the poem on paper, putting a line break where you made the notations.
Type the poem neatly or write it in your best handwriting. Consider framing your poem. Your loved one may want to keep the poem as a memento!
Read the poem out loud to the person you love, or wrap it in special wrap, and present it as a gift for her or him to open when alone.
Tips
You're not trying to write the 'Greatest Poem Ever'. Your poem is for the one you cherish the most. What matters is that it's personal and sensuous.
Sit in a quiet room, and think about your 'love', how you feel when you are together, and apart. Think about what you miss most when you do not see each other, and how you feel when you again see each other. As you ponder this, write your thoughts and feelings. Poetry should come from the heart, and your heart and your thoughts will create a love poem based on your--and only your--feelings.
There's no need to be intimidated by complex rhyme schemes. Remember, most contemporary poetry doesn't rhyme. Former Poets Laureate Robert Pinsky and Louise Gluck and current Poet Laureate Ted Kooser all write poetry that does not rhyme.
The best writing advice is simple: omit needless words. One strong verb steamrolls any three weak ones.
Poetry and almost all artful prose is about how the words reveal your feelings. Take time when you read your writing out loud to yourself, and see if you feel what your words are saying. If they stir up emotion within you, be assured they will do the same for the person you are writing it for.
Make it personal. Don't fill it with clichés but find something unique or special in your relationship and write about that. Your poem should be a reflection of the love you both share.
One useful tip for any kind of poem is to "write it twice: first with the heart, then with your brain". Don't forget to express exactly what you want, but try not to sound cheesy.
Go to websites and get an idea . Do not copy them, it will get you nothing, your loved one can find out easily

Love Poem - Beauty by John Masefield
Here is a short but very powerful love poem.
Have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills
Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain:
I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils,
Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.
I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of the sea,
And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails of ships;
But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me
Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips.
Have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills
Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain:
I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils,
Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.
I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of the sea,
And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails of ships;
But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me
Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips.

Love Poem "Even Though We Fight a Lot, I Love You"
Again on the xmas season there can be many squabbles going on between couples but love wins through. Here is a love poem to bare in mind over the next week or so.
Even though we fight a lot, I love you.
We fight, I think, because the stakes are high.
I sometimes get so mad I cannot stand you,
But underneath my anger I could cry.
I have an uncontrolled need to control you,
To be your only destiny and guide.
I know it isn't fair to try to mold you,
But my poor love's entangled in my pride.
Ah, love! Please love me even in my fury,
Which rises like a tide beneath the moon.
I plead before my only judge and jury:
I want to change, but know change won't come soon.
Love finds it hard to let the loved one be
The person who is loved so passionately.
All the best Adam

Love Poem - Xmas Memory of a Broken Heart by Southern Charm
Seeing that its the season here is a xmas love poem. I hope you enjoy the love poem.
She would go by her day
as if she had nothing else to do.
He was going away from home
and before she never had a clue.
Christmas is coming around
and he's leaving far away.
She stays crying all night
hoping her fears faded away.
As the night got dreary,
she begins to pray at her bed.
She tells the great Lord
to keep her classified in his head.
She only wish he could
knowthe feelings that she hides.
He's just way to impaired
to see that he's blind.
For Christmas this year
she ask only for one wish.
She wants him to realize
the pain that she anguished.
"Lord, I understand, we don't
get all of what we ask for.
But he's my angel you've sent
and I ask for nothing more."
"I guess it's just a Christmas memory of a broken heart.
Voiding with a crash and fall
that leaves me backsliding apart."
She still cries every night
as the salty tears form in her eye.
She'll love him with all her heart
and her spirit will never die
