11 Delicate, Modern Poems About Love

Love. It’s the one word we all love. We love to love and we love to be loved. And there’s nothing better than the feeling of falling in love. When you have that bounce in your step, you are falling in love. When you cannot help but smile with a twinkle in your eye, you are falling in love. When everything that once felt hard, feels easy – you are falling in love.

So whether you have been in love, are falling in love, or are looking for love, this post is for you. Savour each sweet nothing and let every word fall upon your skin. You deserve to be loved. Be open to love.

Modern Poems About Love

1. Love Poem – Rachel Huckel

i don’t know much about
how to label the things I feel.

all I know is that
when I look at the sky,
i see freedom.

when i look at the dirt,
i see breakthrough.

when i look at the ocean,
i see serenity.

and when i look at you,
i see everything.

extract from – Fleeting Things

2. Goosebumps – Jadine Lydia

i love you,
when I’m with you,
when I’m not with you.
you’ve got my heart in goosebumps
it feels so easy to say,
i love you.

3. Untitled – Kirsten Robinson

i want to make
art
out of you
and show it off
in every corner
of the Universe
so everyone else
can see
how magnificent
you are

anyone who ever
made you question that
did not know
true beauty
when they saw it.

all I want
is to be your moon
and show you
all the little stars of my heart.

fall into me
easily
slowly
carelessly
and watch me
hold you
in your divinity
as you hold me
in my sovereignty
and together
we bloom.
