The Best English Love Poems
Love Sonnet in English
Sonnet Number One:
'I wish to ascertain
Whether there exists a more potent
A tormenting shape
More agonizing than the routine
To grasp each day
Your repetition of tender words
Whispered softly into her ear
Mine...'
Interpretation:
She will wish to know
If there linger many echoes
From the torment
Rather than daily realization
Of the whispered words you speak
The sweet words you utter to another
Are the same words you once bestowed upon me.
Poem Number Two:
If I pass away or journey afar, I'll etch your name on every star so all who gaze above can perceive the depth of my affection for thee.
Interpretation:
If I pass away or venture far, I'll inscribe your name upon every star so all may look above and fathom your significance to me.
Poem Number Three:
If kisses were drops, I'd send you the ocean
If foliage equated to embraces, I'd dispatch unto you a forest
If darkness epitomized affection, I'd send you the celestial bodies
Yet, my heart remains elusive, for it resides where you are.
Interpretation:
If water were kisses, I'd send you the sea
If leaves were embraced, I'd send you a tree
If it were love, I'd send you the stars
But I cannot send my heart because where you reside.
Poem Number Four:
I yearned for his affection,
And his lips have met mine,
Yet I am akin to a wounded bird
Elusive as a bird bound to the north.
For despite his love for me,
Tonight, melancholy grips my heart;
His kiss lacked the magic I dreamed of
Like every dream I cherished.
Interpretation:
If only the emotions one bestows
Upon lips with sweetness aglow
Yet I am but a pair of tiny wings
Never daring to dream of soaring skyward
Now I comprehend the affection bestowed upon me
Many sleepless nights spent pondering
The flavor of human love isn't flawless
Like aspirations carried in tow.
Poem Number Five:
I possess the 'I'
I possess the 'L'
I hold the 'O'
I wield the 'V'
I embrace the 'E', ...
then could I possess 'U' ?
Interpretation:
I hold the letter 'I',
I possess the letter 'L'
I have the letter 'O'
I possess the letter 'V'
I hold the letter 'E'
Please show me how to obtain the letter 'U'?
Best English Poem Number 6:
'Here I exist
Fantasizing about the instances
You enfolded me snugly against your heart
And life seemed a tad
Less complicated'
Interpretation:
I am here
Dreaming of that era
When you held me tight in your chest
And life suddenly ebbed away
The complexities.
Short English Poem Number 7:
Think of me when I depart,
Vanished far into the hushed domain;
When clasping my hand is beyond your art,
Nor do I half depart yet linger close.
Recall me when the days no longer play
You unveil our plotted future with glee:
Just keep me in mind; you see
It shall be tardy for guidance then or plea.
But if you happen to neglect me for a span
And subsequently recall, do not sorrow:
For if the shadows and decay withdraw
A remnant of the musings I once possessed,
It's preferable you let go and smile
Than to recall and feel despondent all the while
Interpretation:
Remember Hearing Me
The day you depart
Heading towards the deep, silent abode
When I can no longer grasp your hand again
Loose grip amidst the haze of wakefulness
Recall each step homeward together
Recall the words arranged in past rendezvous
Oh my love
Remember hearing me
Whatever fate, our wishes may not come to pass
Unfortunately, we missed each other
Don't lament excessively, adding to heartache
In the future when longing fades away
Forget me, dear, our past love tale
Cheer up, cast away all pain
Why keep the drops of sorrow in the heart.
Short English Poem Number 8:
When reminiscing brings pain
And fear grips you when you look ahead
Look beside you, I'll always be there for you.

When it pains to look back.
And you fear to look forward.
Look beside you, I'll always be there for you.
