I would like to share with you a little romantic love poem I discovered some years ago.
I sort of like it, because in my opinion it differs a little from other poems. You literally feel the electrifying intensity. It moves you to depths you never knew about.
Of course, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder they say, but this poem conveys a certain truth we all know, or hope, exists – and we all long to have it in our lives.
It gives us a short glance how life should be – sweet and passionate.
To me, personally, the following poem is the most romantic love poem of all.
Wait a minute, you might think.
Why does Eddie Corbano show me such a poem, beautiful or not? Hey, this wouldn't be a LovesAGame article if there was nothing to learn from it, right?
Now, after reading the poem below, I want you to ask yourself the following:
“Have I ever felt in such a way? Do I have a fundamental understanding of what this poem is about? What is my concept of feeling love?”
Furthermore, if you are in a fulfilling relationship, I want you to let this little piece of art elevate you to a new level of passion and sensibility. Read this poem together with your partner, and together find the truth in it for you.
If your partner is currently not by your side, send them this poem by letter or email, along with some personal words from you.
If you are suffering from a recent divorce or break-up, let it remind you that it still exists. It's still out there waiting for you to find it.
It's certainly not dead.
So, obviously, I'm sharing this with you for three reasons:
- to delight you with some insightful piece of art
- to elevate you and your partner to a new level of understanding of true love
- to remind you that the love in which you believed once, still exists
So, no more talking, here it is the most romantic of all short, love poems, enjoy:
From the beginning of my life
I have been looking for your face
but today I have seen it
Today I have seen
the charm, the beauty,
the unfathomable grace
of the face
that I was looking for
Today I have found you
and those who laughed
and scorned me yesterday
are sorry that they were not looking
as I did
I am bewildered by the magnificence
of your beauty
and wish to see you
with a hundred eyes
My heart has burned with passion
and has searched forever
for this wondrous beauty
that I now behold
I am ashamed
to call this love human
and afraid of God
to call it divine
Your fragrant breath
like the morning breeze
has come to the stillness of the garden
You have breathed new life into me
I have become your sunshine
and also your shadow
My soul is screaming in ecstasy
Every fiber of my being
is in love with you
Your effulgence
has lit a fire in my heart
for me
the earth and sky
My arrow of love
has arrived at the target
I am in the house of mercy
and my heart
is a place of prayer
Beautiful, isn't it?
This is Rumis “Looking for your face”. There is also a remarkable recitation along with some awesome music (look out for track 14): A Gift Of Love. Check it out.
Your friend,
Eddie Corbano
for my love I cannot even express the love that I feel for him…my writings only touch the surface of my heart that he now owns.
Writing him a poem is nearly impossible because this love cannot be expressed with words.
But you can feel it.
A wonderful phenominal out of this world feeling.
And as I said….one that cannot be explained.
thats absolutely correct…
Love is a feeling which cant be expressed in words , cant be sing in a song , cant be writtten in a poem but can only be felt by the two beautiful hearts who share such pious feeling….!!!!
@Peter – Hey Peter its Amber i would like 2 talk 2 u bout this poem u wrote im leaving u my e-mail address so we can talk. (ahargrove07@yahoo.com)
You should listen to it in Persian. That’s where its real beauty lies.
@juli –
Thank you!
How do I love thee?
I cannot count the ways.
As your beauty is much more
Than mere words could ever say.
@Matt –
that is a beautiful poem
There are no words to espress my feelings of love for my man…all words only penetrate the surface of how I truly love him.Its my belief that true love cannot be expressed in words.
But you can definately see it in my eyes and smile
Absolutely……….no words can say if you are really in love with someone right? as they say that words is nothing but actions and feelings are most. I’m i right??
I am a dancer in a company and this year we are doing a dance to this poem. There are 5 couples and most of the choreography is done on the floor. (It is very intimate) It is just a man reciting the poem with light music in the backround. It’s lovely.
it is not easy to breaking up to your love because it hurts so much. letting him/her go is not easy to do. in that memories that you have in your whole life with him. please help me to find Mr. Right.
hay thank u so much for sharing that wounderful heart worming poem to ever one hope ever one els injoed the amazing poem, to me it wos so meaningful i wish there were more people who care of sharing there thorts the way u did thank u love katina
EVERY THING IS VERY GOOD THANKS
@Carter – Isn’t it rather vain to see someone and decide that it’s love solely based on appearance? That’s lust. I love. It’s more than just seeing a pretty person. You have to know someone. You can be attracted, and grow to love them more as you know them better. It’s not instant, and it’s just not about looks. It’s so much bigger than that.
Poetry can be cheesy or boring or Amazing in anyone’s eyes but every poet and person who writes poems write for a reason. and every line has an explanation. cheesy is a formality that people use because they’ve heard it to much. but life isnt forever and words cant just dissapear nore be created differently. the heart is a dellicate and ruthless essence in my eyes. if treated and used right life can become complete but if handle wrong you get a scar of pain but with that scar you learn and should move on with the fact that you are granted with life. although i am young i’ve learned a great deal of love and realized many things. this poem and any poem with a persons true feelings in it will always get me.
A night of thunder and rain
I am crying with pain
My mind starts hurting
After my heart is done flirting
I walk outside
With death on my side
As I look up at the raging crying sky
Wanting to fry
My heart is in two
I don’t know what’s true
I add to the earth my own rain
Without any strain
I look back
Right on track
Then I look now
I ask how?
I said to one side of my heart
I don’t want to depart
But it was to late
There goes our fate.
But then the other side
Comes in with pride
Beautiful by fate
Wonderful by trait
It starts taking over
I was lucky as a clover
Happy by sunrise
Sad by moons rise
I wish life could be easier
But that couldn’t be cheesier
Defending myself against suicide
I hold it with pride
One day life will be better
As I write this letter
Take me for who I am
And ill take you for a ham
a poem i wrote when my gf broke up with me
my favorite poem.
Even after all this time, the sun never says to earth, “you owe me”.
Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.
very beautifull,and thx for god that i found this site and i read this poem,i say for my gf,and after some day will be marriage:>:>:>:>llol!but not only from the pome will be maried and she love me too 🙂
And sometimes we lose. Here is my poem for my love. Any of you who understand it, please enjoy it.
You Never Knew
When we met, I knew you
but you did not know
why I (of all) should be
so moved; you made me
catch my breath as though
my heart were lanced
I was an enigma coming
when for you fleeing was
the only thing to do –
as facing all the pain just
could not be; so much to
flee! and resolution far away
More flight, and yet love
still eludes you, as smoke
you run to catch the wind
never stopping long enough
to see your face reflected in
the dew of God’s tears
One day you may
with time and tide
become what you really
are inside. That “you”
I saw and can no more
forget than stop my heart

@ Ade
Thank you for that wonderful poem.
I was always a big fan of Neruda, he always gets to the core of things…
this poem made me cry so much
SONNET XVII
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
Or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
In secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in
Itself the light of hidden flowers;
Thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
Risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way than this
Where “I” does not exist, nor “you” ,
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
So close that when you close your eyes I fall asleep.
Pablo Neruda
