Poetry is the language that was designed to express feelings. Humans are capable of so many feelings, too. From happiness, to anger, or from sadness to hopefulness, we all process the events in our lives with a plethora of emotions.
And then, of course, there’s love. Ah, love. Poets since the beginning of time have been trying to capture the emotions love can bring. It can be a difficult emotion, born of the violent thrashing of a storm, or it can be mellow and comfortable, like a calm pond. Love can be compared to the ocean– a vast, moody view that changes like the weather, so can our love be affected or even attacked by other people’s words and actions. Fortunately, our dearest ones usually do not hurt us, and we learn to communicate with them, using a language of love.
For many of us, it’s heartwarming to remind each other of our love by sending short- but sweet- reminders here and there. Whether you text or email your loved one during a hectic day, or need a quick ditty to jot on the card of a floral delivery, just the right words often make these expressions so much more meaningful. Here we have a big gallery of tiny love poems, for you and your soulmate to enjoy when the time is right.

That I need many days to say.

To continue and never end.

May you understand and see this truth.

Now in my prime, started in my youth.

How to smile, what to say.
You’ve shown me what it’s worth
To love someone each and every day.
So this poem goes out to you
For everything you’ve done,
And I hope now you understand
That baby, you’re the one
