 What is a love poem? How do we define it? Does it necessarily center on romantic love? On romance, on marriage, on commitment, on those ever evasive happily-ever-afters every human being continuously seeks? Or is a love poem something else entirely? Nobody really understands love. Not the scientists, and certainly not the poets. Love defies understanding because it is never the same for any of us. It seems to be Universal. It seems to be Timeless. But, those are just illusions because even though love is something we all experience, it's also something we all experience differently. Love is an individual experience, filtered by our own lives and expectations. No one really understands love because it's a very different thing for each of us. These love poems, like all love poems, are seemingly Universal. Seemingly Timeless. And yet very much a different thing for each of us. There is almost certainly one here written just for you and that someone you love. We hope you enjoy the search for it as much as the eventual discovery of finding it.

Trust Me With Your Heart |
Kathleen Sheppard |
| Trust, like love, is not a conscious decision we make. It must be born, and grow, within the human heart. | |
| A Day Closer | C Mahon |
| Even when love seem far away, and longing is a constant companion, there is always hope. For tomorrow. | |
| A Promise To My Love |
Karin Schaefer |
| If Love is an instinctive need and desire, then why does it take us so long to learn to do it well? | |
| My Favorite Limitation | The Drewid |
| Only another writer could sympathize with the compulsion described in this delightful poem. | |
| When He Plays | Jaimie D. Travis |
| Music and love have much in common, and it's not at all unusual to find they overlap. | |
| At Last | Seashell |
| Sometimes, the only thing better than a beginning - is a new beginning. | |
| I Wish I Knew | Kelleah |
| It's difficult enough to see within our own heart. How, then, can we hope see within another's? | |
| The Time For Love | Thomas |
| The time for love is anytime - any year, any day or any second. Time itself is time for lovers. | |
| Longing | Seashell |
| The words "I love you" can be spoken in many, often silent, ways. | |
| Longing For You | Peggy Smith |
| Love, like so much in life, takes time. It's so common, if fact, we have a special word for it. We call in longing. | |
| How Could I Know | Glenda McGarity |
| One can cite statistics, and quote all the long odds, but the fact remains - some do beat those odds. | |
| The Ballet | Wulfgar |
| There are instances in life when Love is circumscribed within the boundaries of a single moment - any yet, lives forever. | |
| Your Healing Love | Peggy Smith |
| There is, perhaps, no pain or loss so great it cannot be healed by the magic power of love. | |
| Distant Love | Dale Whipple |
| There is magic in Love, a magic that can transcend mere Earthly problems and reach to very gates of Heaven. | |
| I Promised You A Poem | Rosalie Rodriguez |
| An old poem for an old love becomes a new poem. For a renewed love? | |
| My Love Is Like A Rose | Katy Schepis |
| Giving a rose to someone is a tradition as old as poetry, and for some perhaps as meaningful. | |
