Short Love poems For Lovers

Love is anterior to life

Love is anterior to life
Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.

by Emily Dickenson

The Moon, Alone

The moon, alone,
Taunts me from the heavens
With memories of you;
Should you feel the same, then
Our hearts would be as one

by Saigyo, Japanese poet (1119-1190)

"Time is
too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity."

by Henry Van Dyke(1852-1933)

"Who seeks for Heaven alone to save his soul
May keep the path, but will not reach the goal;
While he who walks in love may wander far,
Yet God will bring him where the blessed are."

Short love poems by Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933)

"Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly
and without law, and must be plucked where it is found,
and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration."

Short love poems by D. H. Lawrence

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Tennyson, Alfred, Lord (1809 - 1892)

All I ask

All I ask of a woman is that
she shall feel gently towards me
when my heart feels kindly towards her,
and there shall be the soft,
soft tremor as of unheard bells between us.
It is all I ask.
I am so tired of violent women lashing out and insisting
on being loved, when there is no love in them.

Short love poems by D.H. Lawrence
