Romantic poems have been written since the late 18th century with pioneers such as William Blake and Wordsworth practicing their craft. Hot on their heels in the next century came Shelley, Keats, and Byron. His poems about love were based on self-expression and individual feeling incorporating feeling.
My first poem focuses on a deep attraction and unbridled desire for a person who remains painfully out of reach.
She smiles with her eyes
Dark and seductive
She smiles with her eyes
I can’t help looking
And fantasize
Her blood red lips
I long to kiss
Lost in her gauze
Eternal happiness
The presence of his mother
Makes my day
Desperately lost
In a beautiful way
The slightest look
Makes my heart beat
Everything is sun and rainbow
When she’s around
Brilliant effortlessly
Like a diamond in the sunlight
I can’t help dreaming
To hold her tight
Dripping with beauty
So easy to adore
I have his friendship
But I long for more
Every rare moment together
It’s mine to cherish
Saving seconds
That in the end they perish
Love her always
Is my destiny
Impossible to fight
I’ll let it be
Trapped in paradise
My future holds no surprise
Because I’m in love
With the woman who smiles with her eyes
My second romantic poem celebrates the glorious wonder of the kiss, the most beautiful act in which humans participate.
The kiss
Heart tip
Gateway to the soul
Lips part
In making us whole
A delicate touch
The most subtle caress
It means a lot
Its heavenly
When desperately in love
They are impossible to ration
Like stars above
Tied with passion
It only takes a moment
But it can last forever
Gloriously powerful
Paradise effort
A wonderful feeling
Magical to find
Heads floating, hearts reeling
Intertwined lovers
Lost in a fantastic reality
Inhabited by two
Far from normal
But deliciously true
Once i finish
It hurts like never before
But the heart is never repaired
If the body yearns for more
No other act
Encapsulate so much beauty
It should never be a matter of fact
Gold fulfilled out of duty
Sometimes so tender
Or delivered with lustful aggression
Recipient or sender
The ultimate expression
Kissing your lover
With raging desire
A feeling like no other
Perpetual fire
In his absence I contemplate
The thrill that I will miss
I will celebrate forever
The majesty of a kiss
Romantic poems are best written from personal experience, and the more honest and sincere the better. Discard your inhibitions and write from the heart. Good luck.
