When you and your lover are living miles apart, your hearts long for each other. You both are also constantly searching how to make your phone calls, e-mails, and other communications full of meaning and romance.

One way to keep things spiced up is with “long distance love poems“. These can be used to convey your feelings. Below are some ideas that may help you until you can write your own.

How Do I Love Thee?

[ad#blue-link-body-ad-on-left]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 everyday’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

Music, When Soft Voices Die

Music, when soft voices die,

Vibrates in the memory –

Odours, when sweet violets sicken,

Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,

Are heaped for the beloved’s bed;

And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,

Love itself shall slumber on. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

She Walks In Beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that’s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellowed to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o’er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent! ~ Lord Byron

Love’s Philosophy

The fountains mingle with the river

And the rivers with the ocean,

The winds of Heaven mix for ever

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single,

All things by a law divine

In one spirit meet and mingle -

Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven

And the waves clasp one another;

No sister-flower would be forgiven

If it disdained its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth,

And the moonbeams kiss the sea -

What are all these kissings worth

If thou kiss not me? ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

How Far We Are!

How far we are from each other,

makes me have a heavy heart.

I don’t ever mean to smother,

I just don’t want to be apart. ~ Unknown Author

We Have a Sea

We have a sea between us,

but our love is side by side.

There is no need for a fuss,

cause you’ll come with the tide. ~ Unknown Author

Some people have a knack for writing them, while others have to use someone else’s words. Whichever way, saying or reading love poems to each other can be a fun and endearing experience. It can truly make a last memory.

Here are some simple examples of “short sweet love poems”.

Short sweet love poems:

I love how your hair shines in the sun,
and the way you always have fun.
I love the sweet way your hips do sway,
I guess I just love you in every way.

You came into my life for a short fling,
and suddenly I heard the birds sing.
To my lonesome heart you did bring,
so much love what a wondrous thing.

As I am standing at my grill,
I look at you and feel a thrill.
I love you dearly my dear heart,
shall we have dinner à la carte?

You are so nice and soft to be around,
you are the best woman I have found.
Your love has change me through and through,
O my goodness, how much I love you.

My world would be so dark and blue,
If I had not found a girl like you.
I first off liked you so much at the start,
Now you totally are the love of my heart.

When I met you and found a friend,
I hoped that this would be a trend.
But I discovered you fit me like a glove,
that must mean we are meant to be in love.

My heart soars up to the sky of blue,
as I think about my love for you.
You have given me so much love,
I thank the powers to be up above.

Love can make any man a fool,
this is a woman’s valuable tool.
But honey, the fool I want to be,
as long as you always love me.

L is for my love,
O is for over time,
V is for very happy,
E is for everlasting.
My love over time for you will be very happy and will be everlasting.

I do not mind doing a cheer,
such as give me a L-O-V-E.
I will do it loud for all to hear,
as long as, darling, you love me.

My passion of love is so on fire,
for you, my love of my desire.
I never want this fire to go out,
about this, I am most devout.

you took such wonderful care of me, that I knew that I loved you.
So on this day my heart is asking you to please marry me,
please say you will, so that we can have a life that is new.

I found a new side of myself the day I met you.
We have had so many interesting times,
by going places hand in hand laughing.
Now I have come to a decision and I hope you say yes,
for I would love for you to marry little old me.

In the days of very old,
men’s love dare not be bold.
Today it can be,
so please marry me.

Through my many, many days?
Even though I have my ways,
will you marry me anyways?

We have had such a ball,
we should marry come fall.
I would love to marry you,

I went to bed last night and had a dream,
on how we should become a team.
Will you marry me is the theme,
for this poem about my dream.

Shall we get married and have fun,
so all our lives we will be one?

I was pondering the state of my affairs,
and I discovered I need you for my wife,
I really love you and have a lot of cares,
about you being my wife for my whole life.
Marry me? (be on one knee)

Through the triumphs of my life,
I would love to have a wife.

Do I love you? Why of course I do,
that is why I wish to marry you.
Will you marry me one day,
and let me have my own way?

Thank heavens your Mum met your Dad.
Thank heavens there was you.
I’ve never been so lucky, to know a soul so pure and true.
We share so much and I know for sure without you I’d be blue.
Here’s to a happy birthday baby, I love you through and through!

We go together like peanut butter and jelly,
I even love your round little jolly belly.
I love being with you and just watching the telly,
or we could go out and find a good deli.

Out in this universe so bold and true,
how in the world did I meet someone like you.
You fit me so well that I definitely construe,
that I must have just ordered you from life’s menu.

The flowers you brought me are sitting in the sink,
thank goodness you got the ones the really stink.
Every time I smell them they will make me think,
how wonderful you are and that we are in sync.

On one magical night not too long ago,
you and I met across a crowded room.
I said to myself it is time to forgo,
anyone else for my heart went zoom.

Once upon a time a girl met this guy,
oh and at first she was so very shy.
But the guy persisted until by and by,
he won over this girl and wondered why.
So he asked this question and she did sigh,
that she loved that his eyes mirrored the sky.

The day I met you the sun shone brighter,
now how could our love be any righter?
All your qualities from you being a fighter,
to knowing when the mood needs to be lighter,
mean so much to me and has made us tighter.

You are so unbelievably good to me,
that I fall deeper in love everyday.
Your so sweet you fit me to a tee,
I will just let you carry me away.

When I am with you love is on my mind,
I feel so safe and warm with you.
You have this charm and you are kind,
no wonder I feel a love that is so true.

My body feels love for you to such an extent,
that at times it truly make me feel all afire.
So I write this poem to make sure the message is sent,
I am going to make you mine that is what I aspire.

Even if you’ve been with your boyfriend for a while, you want to make each year more unique and romantic than the one before, so you don’t lose the excitement and meaning in your relationship. When your relationship becomes long-term, it’s making new memories to reflect on in the years to come that binds you together.

But perhaps your boyfriend isn’t interested in expensive presents, or doesn’t want to make a big deal about his birthday. Maybe you’re worried because you can’t afford to give him what you think he really wants.

Well don’t worry! You can give your boyfriend a meaningful message for his birthday simply by penning a few lines to express your love and well wishes.

Of course, it’s easy to just buy any old greeting card, but think about how special it will be when your boyfriend realizes you’ve written something just for him! If you’re thinking ‘I can’t write poetry!’ it actually not that difficult. By keeping it short and simple, and rhyming the words at the end of each line, you’re only limited by your imagination in expressing how special your boyfriend is to you.

Think about what your partner provides you with most – security, fun times, reassurance, or a sense of calm? Then try putting that into words in the simplest way possible.

Happy birthday poems for your boyfriend:

It’s your birthday darling, a special day for you
You’re another year older, another year wiser
And more handsome for it too!
So how can I make it an occasion, this day that arrives but once a year?
I’ll wrap my heart up filled with love and send you birthday cheer.

Or you could try thinking about it from another point of view;

Thank heavens your Mum met your Dad
Thank heavens there was you
I’ve never been so lucky, to know a soul so pure and true
We share so much and I know for sure without you I’d be blue
Here’s to a happy birthday baby, I love you through and through!

As you can see, your birthday poem doesn’t need to be an outstanding example of literary talent. Your boyfriend will be touched that you’ve gone to the time and trouble to create a poem instead of going the easy way and buying a card. Even better, add your poem to a handmade card – there are plenty of stylish scrap-booking and craft papers you can use to make a unique card with your own verse inside.

Writing a poem can add a lovely personalized touch to your boyfriend’s next birthday gift. Sometimes it’s true that feelings are impossible to describe in words, but it’s always worth trying. It’s like the old saying that ‘it’s the thought that counts’. Giving a poem gives your special partner something tangible to keep and to look back on fondly. And you can always look forward to your next birthday and challenge him to put his poetic ability to the test!
