“Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem?” - Oscar Hammerstein II
“A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows. Love can erase an awful past, love can be yours, you'll see at last.famous love poetry To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you'd rather die. You hope you've found that special rose, 'cause you love and care for the one you chose.” - Rob Cella
“Warm summer sun, shine kindly here. Warm southern wind, blow softly here. Green sod above, lie light, lie light. Good night, dear Heart, Good night, good night.” (With Poetry) Are Victimized By JoW's Scam. JoW's Scam Is Tiresome And Unfair.

check out Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?"
You should be able to find it on the internet. It is a very famous love poem finishing:
"I shall but love thee better after death".
Hi,
Obviously you can't miss Shakespeare's sonnets;
Let us not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.
or
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.
Also try John Donne, The Good-Morrow, a celebration of the joy of love, the first vefamous love poetryrse so wonderful;
I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I
Did till we loved? Were we not weaned till then?
But sucked on country pleasures childishly?
Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers' den?
'Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be.
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.
and see also his The Flea and The Sun Rising.
then look at the more cynical Marvell and 'To His Coy Mistress', persuading her into bed;
The grave's a fine and private place
But none methinks do there embrace.
Look at Phillip Larkin's 'An Arundel Tomb'
One sees with a sharp tender shock,
His hand withdrawn, holding her hand.
and you have to use W.H.Auden's 'Tell me the Truth About love'
When it comes does it come without warning, just as your picking your nose?'
