Here are all the Love Poems...

...and Love Quotes you will ever need.


Beautiful Love Poems that speak straight from your heart to theirs.

We can't all be great love poets and so, have to admit we may need some help in this department. It's sometimes difficult to tell the people we love how we feel about them; we don't always have the right words to tell them what we feel in our hearts.

At the special or memorable moments in our lives, an anniversary, birthday or even when saying goodbye to someone, we might want to turn to the great poets of the past for inspiration. Whether the words of love you are trying to say are to your romantic love, beloved family member or a dear friend, Words of Love brings you all the most famous love poetry from poets like Keats, Shelley, Shakespeare and Barrett Browning.

Requested Poem:

This poem has been requested by one of our visitors, I thought I would share it with you as it is a delightful poem with a whimsical playfulness which, I'm sure, was thought to be very risqué in the Eighteenth century, I first came across it in an anthology of love poetry and prose. 

 

I Gently Touched Her Hand

 

I gently touched her hand: she gave

A look that did my soul enslave;

I pressed her rebel lips in vain:

They rose up to be pressed again.

Thus happy, I no further meant,

Than to be pleased and innocent.

 

On her soft breast my hand I laid,

And a quick, light impression made;

They with a kindly warmth did glow,

And swelled, and seemed to overflow.

Yet, trust me, I no further meant,

Than to be pleased and innocent.

 

On her eyes my eyes did stay:

O’er her smooth limbs my hands did stray;

Each sense was ravished with delight,

And my soul stood prepared for flight.

Blame me not if at last I meant

More to be pleased than innocent.

Anonymous – Eighteenth Century.

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

Plucking the flowers, we keep the plant in bloom.
