Short And Heartwarming Love Poems

1. Presence of Love 

Short Love Poems

And in Life’s noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
The heart’s Self-solace and soliloquy.
You mold my Hopes, you fashion me within;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro’ all my Being, thro’ my pulses beat;
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
On a rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,
How oft! I bless the Lot, that made me love you.

— By Samuel Taylor Coleridge

2. Your Smile on My Mind

Short Love Poems

I wake up every day with your smile on my mind.
It’s a beautiful sight to behold, so soft and so kind.
My dreams are filled with the thought of me and you.
I awake and smile, for my dreams have come true.
I have you to guide me through my troubles and fears.
I’ll always be here for you through your struggles and tears.
I love you more than my words could ever show.
You mean everything to me; I just want you to know.
I’ll be here for you no matter the dilemma.
You will always be first on my agenda.

3. Thrilling Love

Short Love Poems

Holding your hand
Warms my heart to its core.
It’s hard to imagine
How I could love you more.
Just looking at you
Gives me a thrill.
I love you now,
And I always will.

— By Joanna Fuchs

4. My Heart to You 
When you smile at me, I lose myself.
You give me this feeling that makes me overwhelmed.
When your hand is in mine, I feel totally fine,
And that's the reason I had to make you mine.
Forever and ever till the end,
I will be by your side through thick and thin.
I love you more than you'll ever know.
I just wanted to say I'm never letting go.

— By Alan

5. The Patience of Heart 
Love takes time.
It takes patience
to find the one,
to find him,
to find forever.
The heart may get broken,
but never give up.
The patience of a heart
is so beautiful.

6. Love So Amazing

Short Love Poems

My love for you is like the raging sea,
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!

— By Elaine Chetty

7. I Love You 
You look at me as if I'm the only girl around.
You make me feel important and never let me down.

You've shown me how to live,
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!

I love you!

— By Shannon

8. A White Rose
The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

Will you be my Valentine?

In idle dreams of long ago,
I imagined my true love;
A perfect match, a soulmate,
An angel from above.

Our love will stay and thrive and grow.

I’ll be the warrior to fight for our love;
We’ll fly together, fly higher than the dove.

You’ll be the queen in the kingdom of my heart;
And then I’ll be the king, so we’ll never be apart.
You’ll be my majesty— I will serve you forever;
And for all of the times, I will leave you, never.

15. Why I Love Thee?
Ask why the seawind wanders,
Why the shore is aflush with the tide,
Why the moon through heaven meanders;
Like seafaring ships that ride
On a sullen, motionless deep;
Why the seabirds are fluttering the strand
Where the waves sing themselves to sleep
And starshine lives in the curves of the sand!

— By Sadakichi Hartmann

So that no one else will hear.
What I have to say is private,
and is just between us two;
just want you to know how much,
I love the things you do.

And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.
