English love poems

ABBY
Author: Clinton Followell
Every time we embrace,
I go to that far away place
When we just walk hand in hand.
I’m in never, never land.

Whenever I look into your eyes,
I begin to get butterflies,
Then my heart skips a beat,
And our lips passionately meet.

You are always on my mind,
Your face is all it can find.
I think about you every day
And know it’ll work out somehow, some way.

Some say we’re dumb and foolish
Some say we should do as we wish
But all my heart could ever do
Is tell you that I’ll always LOVE YOU.

A BETTER TOMORROW
Author: Yvonne Warren
I never knew there would be a better tomorrow
But you've come into my life and taken away all my sorrow

My days of sadness are a thing of the past
Because I have found true love at last

My days of emptiness are gone for good
Because you fill a void in my heart that you should

You've opened a window
You've shown me the light
And my love for you will continue to burn bright.

,Truth telleth thee that love is the treacle of sin
.A sovran salve for body and soul
.Love is the plant of peace, most precious of the virtues
,Heaven could not hold it, so heavy was love
;Till it has of this earth eaten its fill
,Then never lighter was a leaf upon a linden tree
.Than love was when it took the flesh and blood of man
,Flettering, piercing as a needle's point
.No armour may it stay, nor no high walls

(by WILLIAM LANGLAND (c.1330-1400

!Out of your whole life give but a moment
,All of your life that has gone before
,All to come after it, -- so you ignore
,So you make perfect the present, condense
,In a rapture of rage, for perfection's endowment
,Thought and feeling and soul and sense
Merged in a moment which gives me at last
,Me, sure that, despite of time future, time past
!This tick of life-time's one moment you love me
,How long such suspension may linger? Ah, Sweet
The moment eternal -- just that and no more --
!While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet

(by Robert Browning (1812-1889

,I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz
:or arrow of carnations that propagate fire
,I love you as one loves certain obscure things
.secretly, between the shadow and the soul

I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries
,the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose
.from the earth lives dimly in my body

,I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where
:I love you directly without problems or pride
,I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love
,except in this form in which I am not nor are you
,so close that your hand upon my chest is mine
.so close that your eyes close with my dreams

by Pablo Neruda Translated by Mark Eisner

Poem: Love Song for Lucinda
Poet: Langston Hughes

Love
Is a ripe plum
Growing on a purple tree.
Taste it once
And the spell of its enchantment
Will never let you be.

Love
Is a bright star
Glowing in far Southern skies.
Look too hard
And its burning flame
Will always hurt your eyes.

Love
Is a high mountain
Stark in a windy sky.
If you
Would never lose your breath
Do not climb too high

! My God ! O Let Me Call Thee Mine
.

'! My God! O let me call Thee mine
Weak wretched sinner though I be
,My trembling soul would fain be Thine
,My feeble faith still clings to Thee
.My feeble faith still clings to Thee

,Not only for the past I grieve
;The future fills me with dismay
,Unless Thou hasten to relieve
,I know my heart will fall away
.I know my heart will fall away

,I cannot say my faith is strong
;I dare not hope my love is great
,But strength and love to Thee belong
! O, do not leave me desolate
! O, do not leave me desolate

,I know I owe my all to Thee
.O, take this heart I cannot give
;Do Thou my Strength my Saviour be
! And make me to Thy glory live
! And make me to Thy glory live

, A lover asked his beloved
Do you love yourself more
? than you love me

,The beloved replied
I have died to myself
.and I live for you
I’ve disappeared from myself
.and my attributes
.I am present only for you

, I have forgotten all my learning
but from knowing you
.I have become a scholar

,I have lost all my strength
but from your power
.I am able

If I love myself
.I love you
If I love you
.I love myself
:40:

So many words for the broken heart
Its hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
Show me the meaning of being lonely
is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control
Are you with me now
There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I cant be there where you are

Last Love Song

If you don't love me
Please don't treat me this way
Cause I can't stand it
I see our love slipping away
Did you think you could just put me down
Like a worn out shoe
Cause if you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you
If you don't need me
Don't leave me out in the cold
Eyes drifting by me
Like somebody you don't know
Did you think that you could just walk away
Anytime you wanted to
Cause if you don't love me
Maybe I don't love you
Did you think that you could just put me down
For somebody new
Cause nobody can love you girl like I do
Every little bird in the sky
Would sing a song of love
If you would just take me back
Come on open up your heart again
Let me in baby baby
If you don't love me
Stop fooling yourself
No more acting
I know your show too well
Did you think that you could just shake my hand
With a how do you do
Cause if you don't want me
Maybe I don't want you
Oh and as you go through life
It's the little things that come back again
If you came back again
You know I'd give my loving to you
