Without Wanting

Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011

My life without you would be hopeless,
I know you don't want to agree.
But without you I wouldn't know where I was going,
You help me to look hard and see.

You love me without even wanting,
It comes so easy to you.
I love that you love me without needing,
But I must say I love you, so true!

True Love Accepts

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2015

True love accepts without a demand,
It holds your heart, it takes your hand.
No need to change, no need to hide,
It sees your soul, and stays by your side.

Flaws and strengths, it loves them all,
Through every rise and every fall.
Imperfections are beauty, not a mistake,
True love embraces all you create.

No judgment given, no harsh critique,
Just steady support, both strong and meek.
For loving someone as they truly are,
Makes true love shine, like a guiding star.

Soaring Love

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2015

I once dreamed of what love could be,
But then I met you, and now I see.
Love is more than I ever knew,
It’s beautiful, kind, and so very true.

You’ve brought joy into my every day,
Your love has brightened my life in every way.
Now romantic movies make me smile so wide,
Because I know what it feels like to have you by my side.

I hope my friends will find love like this,
A love so real, so full of bliss.
To feel the joy that you bring to me,
And soar with love as high as the tallest tree.

One hundred years will still be too few to be in love with you.

Sometimes the simplest words say the most, and this timeless I Love You, Roy Croft Poem is a perfect example of love expressed with sincerity.

True Love Stands...

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

True love stands through stormy skies,
It doesn’t falter, it never denies.
When trials come and moments are tough,
True love is steady, it’s strong enough.

Through disappointments and seasons of pain,
It weathers the loss, it dances in rain.
Hand in hand, it faces the fight,
Finding hope in the darkest night.

It’s not about ease, but staying strong,
Through life’s short days and nights so long.
True love endures, it holds on tight,
Together overcoming, making things right.

Love's Rejoinder

Poet: J. B. Selkirk

Why do I love you? Why do rivers run?
Why does the north wind rage, the south wind sigh?
Why loves the earth to bask beneath the sun?
These follow but their nature, so do I......

My Love To You This Day

Poet: Unknown

My love to you this day!
Could I with ink the ocean fill,
Were all the earth of parchment made,
Were every single stick a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
I'd write my love for you, dear,
And drain the ocean dry.
Nor would the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky.
True love is immeasurable.
So may the depths of your heart-life be!

True love is immeasurable.

Love is often celebrated in special ways, and these Valentines Day Poems offer thoughtful words to share on meaningful occasions.

Aloha

Poet: Emily Barnard

Like the stars which shine over the sea
Far above you,
So your presence sheds light upon me,
For I love you.
And I wish that our lives might be drawn
Ever nearer,
Through all changes of twilight and dawn,
Always dearer.

T R U E    L O V E

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Together we walk through life each day,
Remembering love lights the way.
Understanding keeps our hearts aligned,
Each moment cherished, truly divine.

Love grows stronger as time goes by,
Overcoming storms under every sky.
Vows we treasure, a bond so tight,
Eternal joy, our guiding light.

Together we walk through life each day, Remembering love lights the way.

When love feels deep and lasting, these Soulmate Poems reflect the connection that brings two hearts together.

Selfless Deeds

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

True love shines in selfless deeds,
Putting another's wants and needs,
Above your own, without a care,
A love so pure, beyond compare.

It’s not about what you receive,
But giving freely, as you believe.
No hidden motives, no selfish gain,
Just joy in easing another’s pain.

True love gives with an open heart,
From the very beginning, right from the start.
It’s the little things that truly show,
A selfless love that continues to grow.

True love is a lasting connection built on trust, acceptance, and commitment that grows stronger over time.
