As a celebration of love, passion, commitment, and enduring desire, short Valentine’s Day poetry is for the romantics.
This day reminds us of the power of passion. While there’s no honest way for another heart to experience what we feel within our own, words of love may be our best hope. While you may be lovestruck and speechless, our favorite poets never are. Poets have told tales of heartache and soulmates meeting since the beginning of time. Weaving together sweet words perfectly decoding the depths of our love, they write. They remind us that sometimes love is flowers and chocolates. Sometimes, it’s persistence and a hand to hold. But more often than not,
poets remind us that love simply just is.
Whether you’ve been struck by Cupid or are awaiting your one true love to find you, these poems are here to honor the beauty of love.
