1. Love So Amazing – Elaine Chetty

So powerful and deep it will forever be.
Through storm, wind, and heavy rain,
It will withstand every pain.
Our hearts are so pure and love so sweet.
I love you more with every heartbeat!”
2. You Are My Everything – Jetem Westbrook

You were amazing
When you were my boyfriend
You were outstanding
When you were my fiancé
You were commendable
As my husband now
You are incredible
You have been the perfect lover
At every juncture of life
Of such a loving husband
I am a proud wife
I love you.”
3. Light To My Soul – Anonymous
You gave light to my soul
You helped me to be whole
I have felt love for you before
And it will be more and more,
You are mine, my dear
You are the angel from above
Who taught me how to love.
Please, forever keep me near.
4. SunShine – Donna Donathan
You brought me sunshine
when I only saw rain.
You brought me laughter
when I only felt pain.
Romantics at heart?
Love at first sight?
Have I known you before?
God! This feels so right!
Have I met you before?
Another time, another place?
If it’s only one night,
will it bring us disgrace?
What are these feelings?
Must they be temporary?
Just to make you happy
seems so necessary.
I want you to know,
’cause I’ll never forget –
knowing your smile,
your kisses and yet…
Dreams are something,
that can’t always come true,
nothing more we can say,
nothing more we can do.
5. I Will Wait For You Forever – Diana J. Briones
“The days are cold, the nights are long,
but my love for you stays strong.
I hold you in my heart
and have you on my mind.
I’ll wait for you; however long,
my love for you is blind.
You are my lover and my friend,
you are my everything.
I shall remain here waiting,
even if for eternity.”
6. Apple Of My Eye – Anonymous
“The apple of my eye
The gem of my heart
Nothing in the world
Can ever keep us apart
The feather in my cap
The reason for my heartbeat
My dear husband
You make my life complete
I love you.”
7. Guitar Poem – Mary Helen McNally
Strumming melodies, again and again
Mellow rhythm overcomes confusion
And solidifies my heart on solid ground
Familiar tones of the old guitar
Coming from a nearby armchair
Home is where he is
And he is always with me
Vibrations echo in my chest
Guiding my heartbeat
With every flick of his fingers
8. Echo – Carol Ann Duffy
“I think I was searching for treasures or stones
in the clearest of pools
when your face…
when your face,
like the moon in a well
where I might wish…
might well wish
for the iced fire of your kiss;
only on water my lips, where your face…
where your face was reflected, lovely,
not really there when I turned
to look behind at the emptying air…
the emptying air.”
9. To My Loving And Caring Husband – Anne Bradstreet
“If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persevere,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.”
10. My Amazing Man – Anonymous
“Sharing my fantasies and fears
My happiness and my tears
Sharing gossip and fun
And all the things that I have done
Sharing my troubles and delights
Even after all our fights
Sharing thoughts about my roadblocks
Over our lengthy talks
Leaves me without a single worry
Only because I have a wonderful hubby
I love you.”
11. The love of my life – Anonymous
“You’re my best friend and my lover
I know this to be true
For I wake every morning
Thinking solely of you
Your tender touch and gentle kiss
A feeling no words can describe
Something I yearn for
When you’re at my side
A beauty that radiates
From both inside and out
A heaven-sent gift
No question about
A passion that penetrates
As deep as a knife
I’m happy I found you
The love of my life.”
12. Wish – Christina Rossetti
I wish I could remember that first day,
First hour, first moment of your meeting me,
If bright or dim the season, it might be
Summer or Winter for aught I can say;
So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May …
13. Love – Sean Short
I promise to Love you through the good times and bad
I’ll Love you when I’m angry, hurt and mad
Love is a choice I’ve made to devote my life
To making you, my world, my wife
Nothing will ever change that choice that I’ve made
Even when we feel our Love start to fade
It’s inside my soul, and nothing can shake
My Love for you, that’s a promise I won’t break.
14. When You Come – Maya Angelou
When you come to me, unbidden,
Beckoning me
To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.
Offering me, as to a child, an attic,
Gatherings of days too few.
Baubles of stolen kisses.
Trinkets of borrowed loves.
Trunks of secret words,
I CRY.
15. My Blessings In Life – Jessica L. Newsome
Every morning I wake up and see
The most handsome man lying next to me.
He’s the one I cherish and love,
A blessing sent from Heaven above.
I will love him as a faithful wife should
And do everything for him I could.
I would let him know every day
That I love him more than words can say.
For the two children we have together
And the love for God in each other,
It will keep our love for each other strong,
And the Lord will guide us away from all wrong.
16. For My Husband – Susan Loughlin
“Loving you has no end and no beginning
Loving you is everything
It is infinite in time
And limitless in magnitude
Beyond even my own comprehension
Your love brings me home
Enfolds me and warms me
In its eternal embrace
Endless and palpable
Beyond all life’s storms
A connection like no other
Twenty years long
But timeless in our hearts
Deep and true
Till’ death us do part.”
17. Someday My Love – Kimberly
Remember the walks
Remember the talks
The promises we made
The choices we came to make
To have you in my life was no mistake
For every tear that falls
Be it as it may
I know I love you and we will be together forever someday.
18. Love Comes Quietly – Robert Creeley
“Love comes quietly,
finally, drops
about me, on me,
in the old ways.
What did I know
thinking myself
able to go
alone all the way.”

Close your eyes and try to see
Our hearts together and what could be
Our love forever as destiny.”
20. For Him – Rupi Kaur
“no,
it won’t
be love at
first sight when
we meet it’ll be love
at first remembrance
‘cause i’ve recognized you
in my mother’s eyes when she tells me,
marry the type of man you’d want to raise your son to be like.”
21. It’s All I Have To – Emily Dickenson
It’s all I have to bring today—
This, and my heart beside—
This, and my heart, and all the fields—
And all the meadows wide—
Be sure you count—should I forget
Some one the sum could tell—
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.
22. Jealous – Anonymous
I’m jealous of the morning sun
That gets to be the first to see you
Or the coffee cup
Who gets to kiss your sleepy lips awake
23. Love In Your Eyes – William Butler Yeats
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
24. If Ever – R.M. Broderick Poetry
If ever we shall perish
and become but specks
of dust, I hope the wind
carries us away to that
place you’ve always loved.
25. You Are The Best – Anonymous
How did you get to be such an amazing man?
Never have I seen someone who can do all you can.
I look at you and gasp in awe,
You are the best that I ever saw.
You are the perfect man for any woman,
You’re just so good at making me grin.
Everything you do is so perfect for me,
You are precisely my cup of tea.
Now I suppose I should give credit where credit is due,
And remind myself that I did a great job retraining you!
26. I Tried – Anonymous
I tried to write funny love poems for you,
I attempted as well some cute and silly ones too.
But it seems I haven’t yet learned how to rhyme,
So, I beg of you honey, please give me some time.
One of these days I will figure it out,
Until then I hope that you will not pout.
Trust me, my man, you really do inspire me,
I’m just not good with words, as you can plainly see.
It’s not that easy to come up with love poems, you know,
So for now I’ll just find another way for my love to show.
27. You Are – Anonymous
My love, you are the yin to my yang,
You’re the ice to my cream,
You are the pop to my corn,
You’re the day to my dream.
You are the honey to my bee,
You’re the sugar to my spice,
You are the sweet to my heart,
You’re the white to my rice.
Oh shoot, I’m so sorry!
I forgot you switched to a brown rice, low-carb, sugar-free diet!
28. You Are So Perfect – Anonymous
I love you so much, you’re so perfect to me,
You’re gorgeous and smart, you make me happy.
Your talent amazes me, you’re so good at all things,
You’re better than anyone at plucking my heart strings,
And now that you know and you’re in a great mood,
Please do me a favor and make me some food!
29. Soulmate – Roshni D’Souza
Sweet surrender of finding
One’s tired soul unwinding
Until life no longer matters;
Love unchains all its fetters.
Mirrored half of each other’s mess,
Aspiring always for nothing less
Than to love across life’s pages,
Either together or apart for ages.
30. Love, Heart, Soulmate – Ruby Heart
What is true love?
We don’t know for sure
But what we know is
Love makes us feel
The desire, the need, the affection
When our eyes lock,
We feel the twinkle
In our eyes
The tinkle in our stomach
Our heartbeat racing
Fireworks going off
In the night sky
How can love make
Us feel that way?
31. The Definition of Love – Andrew Marvell
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.
