 What is a love poem? Is it necessarily a poem about romantic love? About romance? Marriage and commitment? Or is a love poem something else entirely? In a recent short story I wrote, a writer is told by a young critic that he doesn't understand love. "It's neither noble nor eternal, as you would have your audience believe," she says. "Nobody understands love," the writer admits. "It seems to be Universal. Timeless. Yet, it's also very individual, filtered by our own lives and expectations. I don't understand love, and can't understand love, because it's a different thing for each of us." These love poems are Universal. Timeless. And yet very much a different thing for each of us. We hope you enjoy them...

Love Is... |

| Like a whirlwind, this beautiful poem sweeps from one metaphor to the next in an attempt to describe the undescribable. And that, after all, is part of the poet's job… | |
| Loving You Enough To Say Good-bye | Andrea Hill |
| This is a beautifully crafted poem exploring the war that can rage within us when our hearts and minds cannot agree on what they want and need. The poet has done a masterful job of capturing this all too common conflict. | |

| What makes a good poem great? If it's exquisite craftsmanship, you'll certainly find it here. But good poems become great poems because they reveal Truth. And you'll find many levels of Truth discovered here… | |
| Distant Shores | Carol Shivers |
| This is a very clever and original poem, exploring a very simple Truth too often overlooked - our Universe is full of halves that only together can make a whole. | |
| For You I'll Always Be | Katie Kompinski |
| Sometimes, the simple promises are the best. And the most beautiful. | |
