thanks in advance for your time

what about poems by w h auden?, ignore that he was gay, he knew about love

It is def. worth looking at anthologies compiled by Daisy Goodwin- there are several in the series- such as "Poems to get you through the night- and day."

There may well be one that is just on love poetry.

The Nations Favourite Love Poems. A BBC book.

A poem called "The Invitation" by Oraih Mountain Dreamer, just enter info to search engine and it will come up, so beautiful

Penguin Book of Love Poetry is the best imo.

Personally I love Pablo Neruda "Twenty Love Poens and a Song of Despait".

But i'm weird that way.

Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett - Browning are amazing. They had a tragic love story. www.bl.uk/news/2006/pressrelease20060206a.html

My favourite poem is:
How do I love Thee
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 every day'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.
