SOME BEAUTIFUL LOVE POEMS

1) They Who Are Near Me

By Rabindranath Tagore

They who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are...
Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your spoken words...
Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking alone with you...
They who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart...

2) Love’s Philosophy

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the river with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another’s being mingle –
Why not I with thine?

See, the Montains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could 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?

3) I Seem to Have Loved You...

By Rabindranath Tagore

I Seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times,
In life after life, in age after age forever.
My speel-bound heart has made and re-made the necklace of songs
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms
In life after life, in age after age forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain,
Its ancient tale of being apart or together,
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge
Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount
At the heart of time love of one for another.
We have played alongside millions of lovers, shared in the same
Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell –
Old love, but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you,
The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life,
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours –
And the songs of every poet past and forever.
