Why Love Poems?
If you look on Amazon nowadays for romantic poetry, we’re sorry to say that most of what you will spot are anthologies of other people’s poems, and many of these contain what are usually referred to as “the classics”, which is commonly another way of saying that they’re very old.
What you won’t find easy to lay your hands on are collections of original, fresh, modern Love Poetry.
In our opinion, that’s sad, since the issues raised in Romantic Poems from centuries ago are no doubt irrelevant to lovers nowadays.
Exactly what do we mean by this?
While it’s correct that romance and love are eternal, in a great number of households these days, both partners have to go out to work, just to pay the bills, never mind afford the occasional extravagance.
Modern life is frenetic, resulting in people not having enough time to really develop their relationships and keep them healthy – in many cases, partners hardly even see each other at all other than at weekends.
And the number of divorces resulting from this marital muddle are truly shocking.
However, it’s our opinion that Love Poems can help in all sorts of ways.
Let’s start when the fire of love is first ignited, for example.
In our case, we met online because we lived on separate continents. And while we spent up to twelve hours each day talking via email, IM and Internet telephony (e.g. Skype), we desired something to help intensify the bond that was fast developing.
So, each day, attached to a long ecard that described how we each felt and what we’d been up to, a romantic poem was included.
Now, these romantic poems were not copied from some other Poetry Collection, but were hand-crafted, but don’t worry if you don’t feel up to writing your own love poems – as long as the poem conveys the right sentiments, it will still achieve your objectives.
You see, the most important consideration is that the verse must be heart-felt and sincere, and not something you stole from inside a schmaltzy greetings card.
As a man, you might feel that love Poetry Is just too sissy, but you’d be utterly erroneous!
In fact, the vast majority of girls will surely appreciate the fact that you have the ability to put your emotions into words, something that males are renowned for finding hard.
Now, you might be discouraged because women nowadays are often a lot more assertive, or even belligerent, than in days gone by, but you shouldn’t be. If you think about it, they have little choice if they want to prosper and have their voices heard in what is still very much a male-dominated world.
Even if this is the case, it doesn’t mean that they don’t enjoy romance, gallant gestures, and displays of open emotion.
So, although you may feel that you’re not be the next Byron or Wordsworth, it doesn’t matter – trust us!
These days, we’ve already celebrated more than five wedding anniversaries, but a romantic poem every day is still a vital aspect of our relationship.
We are lucky because we run our business from home, together, and so are with each other all day, every day.
Now, this may be a scary thought for a lot of people, but not in our case, because we devote time to making sure that our marriage works and is strong (and that we’re extremely compatible in those areas that definitely matter).
But for those people who spend most of the day apart, then hasten home to do household duties, make a meal, look after the kids and so on., then it can be difficult to find the time to do those little things that make all the difference – like telling each other you that you love them, and also that you appreciate them for what they do and for who they are.
A romantic poem can say all of these things, and if you don’t feel like reading it out aloud (although you really should give this a try), then why not write some poetry and leave it somewhere for your wife to discover, such as on her pillow, or pop it into her purse or handbag so she’ll find it when she arrives at her office?
Here’s an ever better idea -, why not mail her some love poetry to her office – all of her co-workers will turn green with envy, we promise you, and earn you a ton of brownie points in addition, but that’s just a secondary bonus.
The important thing is that you should find ways to let your spouse know how much they mean to you as often as you can.
Romantic poetry is also a way to paint a vision of the life you promise yourselves you’ll have in the future – trips out, foreign holidays, the model family, growing old together, in addition to being one way to talk about daily matters that might not be part of your lifelong dream, but which you can’t avoid.
For example, you could write some poetry about how you hate having to be separated when one or both of you go to work – it’s necessary, but telling your lady that you miss her will lift both of your spirits.
On to more fun things – what about your fantasies?
Many people have what you might call “bedroom fantasies”, which they may not want to talk about or request, but if you raise the suggestion via a love poem, it can provide an opening for a night of passion you might otherwise not have the chance to enjoy.
And after you’ve had that unforgettable night, why not write a poem as a “thank you”, or to touch upon what you did (and these can be as raunchy and personal as you like, as they’re for your and her eyes only)?
If the thought of writing poems spooks you, then don’t worry – if you feel the words in your heart, translating them into something physical is the simple part.
Our preference is for traditional poetry (i.e. lines that rhyme with a consistent metre), but if would rather try something different, that’s fine too – the only thing that matters is to get your message across.
You could stick to the very formal sonnet, or you could write a poem of many, many verses, or you could even opt for the minimalist oriental haiku.
It’s not important, because what you will find is that the mere act of writing some poetry for your partner will instantly put you in a fantastic state of mind, and likewise, it will have the same effect on that special lady when she reads what you have created, just for her.
We urge you to have a go – you won’t be disappointed – and nor will your wife!
