— Carol Ann Duffy
5. How do I love thee? (Sonnet 43)
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.”
– Elizabeth Barrett Browning
6. You are my everything
“It makes me happy just being by your side.All these feelings I just can’t hide.You’ll always be in my heart.Can’t bear the pain when we are apart.Nobody is as special as you are to me.I hope you are beginning to seeJust how much I care for you,And all my feelings will always be true.I can’t describe how much I care,But when you need me, I’ll be thereTo wipe those tears when you are sad,To make you happy when you are mad.All these things I can really do.Just remember I’m thinking of you!”
– Jetem Westbrook
7. The good-morrow
“I wonder, by my troth, what thou and IDid, 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 now good-morrow to our waking souls,Which watch not one another out of fear;For love, all love of other sights controls,And makes one little room an everywhere.Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one.My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,And true plain hearts do in the faces rest;Where can we find two better hemispheres,Without sharp north, without declining west?Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;If our two loves be one, or, thou and ILove so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.”
– John Donne, poetryfoundation.org
8. To my loving and caring husband
Image: IStock
“If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persevere,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.”
– Anne Bradstreet
Quick tip9. One hundred love sonnets: XVII
“I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries
the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose
from the earth lives dimly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you directly without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love,
except in this form in which I am not nor are you,
so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.”
– Pablo Neruda, poetryfoundation.org
10. My amazing man
“Sharing my intimacy and fearsMy happiness and my tearsSharing gossip and funAnd all the things that I have doneSharing my troubles and delightsEven after all our fightsSharing thoughts about my roadblocksOver our lengthy talksLeaves me without a single worryOnly because I have a wonderful hubbyYour unwavering support and adulationMakes me feel blessed with heartfelt admirationI love you.”
11. I Love You
“I love your lips when they’re wet with wineAnd red with a wild desire;I love your eyes when the lovelight liesLit with a passionate fire.I love your arms when the warm white fleshTouches mine in a fond embrace;I love your hair when the strands enmeshYour kisses against my face.Not for me the cold, calm kissOf a virgin’s bloodless love;Not for me the saint’s white bliss,Nor the heart of a spotless dove.But give me the love that so freely givesAnd laughs at the whole world’s blame,With your body so young and warm in my arms,It sets my poor heart aflame.So kiss me sweet with your warm wet mouth,Still fragrant with ruby wine,And say with a fervor born of the SouthThat your body and soul are mine.Clasp me close in your warm young arms,While the pale stars shine above,And we’ll live our whole young lives awayIn the joys of a living love.”
– Ella Wheeler Wilcox, poetryfoundation.org
12. Meeting at night
“The grey sea and the long black land;And the yellow half-moon large and low;And the startled little waves that leapIn fiery ringlets from their sleep,As I gain the cove with pushing prow,And quench its speed i’ the slushy sand.Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;Three fields to cross till a farm appears;A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratchAnd blue spurt of a lighted match,And a voice less loud, thro’ its joys and fears,Than the two hearts beating each to each!”
– Robert Browning
13. Dear Husband
Until we met, I was not sure of true love.For me, love was a fantasy, a fairy tale found only in books.But ever since I saw you, I knew you were meant for me.You may not be the perfect partner, who is?But you certainly are the one who completes me in numerous ways.— Swati Patwal
14. For my husband
“Loving you has no end and no beginningLoving you is everythingIt is infinite in timeAnd limitless in magnitudeBeyond even my own comprehensionYour love brings me homeEnfolds me and warms meIn its eternal embraceEndless and palpableBeyond all life’s stormsA connection like no otherTwenty years longBut timeless in our heartsDeep and trueTill’ death us do part.”
– Susan Louglin
15. Love’s vicissitudes
“As Love and Hope togetherWalk by me for a while,Link-armed the ways they travelFor many a pleasant mile –Link-armed and dumb they travel,They sing not, but they smile.Hope leaving, love commencesTo practise on the lute;And as he sings and travelsWith lingering, laggard foot,Despair plays obligatoThe sentimental flute.Until in singing garmentsComes royally, at call –Comes limber-hipped Indiff’renceFree stepping, straight and tall –Comes singing and lamenting,The sweetest pipe of all.”
– Robert Louis Stevenson
16. The love of my life
“You’re my best friend and my loverI know this to be true
For I wake every morning
Thinking solely of youYour tender touch and gentle kiss
A feeling no words can describe
Something I am yearning for
When you’re at my sideA beauty that radiates
From both inside and out
A heaven-sent gift
No question aboutA passion that penetrates
As deep as a knife
I’m happy I found you
The love of my life.”
17. Love’s language
“How does Love speak?In the faint flush upon the tell-tale cheek,And in the pallor that succeeds it; byThe quivering lid of an averted eye–The smile that proves the parent to a sigh–Thus does Love speak.How does Love speak?By the uneven heart-throbs, and the freakOf bounding pulses that stand still and ache,While new emotions, like strange barques, makeAlong vein-channels their disturbing course;Still as the dawn, and with the dawn’s swift force–Thus doth Love speak.How does Love speak?In the avoidance of that which we seek–The sudden silence and reserve when near–The eye that glistens with an unshed tear–The joy that seems the counterpart of fear,As the alarme’d heart leaps in the breast,And knows, and names, and greets its god-like guest–Thus doth Love speak.”– Ella Wheeler Wilcox, ellawheelerwilcox.org

Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier song
As drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.

And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;
I loved and guessed at you, you construed me
And loved me for what might or might not be –
Nay, weights and measures do us both a wrong.”
– Christina Rossetti, poetryfoundation.org
