“Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves- alone we find it with another.” Thomas Merton
14 Valentine’s Day Poems, Quotes & Tips
LOVE: Valentine’s Day and more… ✿♡✿Happy Valentine’s Day!✿♡✿ February is a month choc-a-bloc with important events and celebrations that bring people together in so many ways; there is Valentine’s Day, Chinese Lunar New Year (Year of the Golden Ox), Health Health Month, Black History Month, and Presidents’ Day. Each of them commemorates a special cultural tie that reminds us of our heritage, relationships, and values. The current pandemic has put a dent in the usual plans we typically have and so it will be wise to consider alternative ideas that could become new and improved takes on our yearly rituals. Take this time to kick back a bit and reflect on what matters to you and your loved ones and how to achieve it safely and legally. Below, I have shared poems, quotes, and tips to help us celebrate all that love brings our way. Come back for the rest…
1) First and foremost, if you are single, Send yourself a Valentine’s Day card and a bouquet of your favorite flowers.
2) If you have a partner, send each other a special delivery of flowers and a favorite/cherished item
3) Surprise a few folks by sending secret Valentine’s Day cards, flowers, or chocolates to struggling friends and neighbors you know could use some hugs and love
4) Make a list of all the things you LOVE about YOU. Type it up and Frame it on your wall.
5) Make a donation to your local Foodbank, favorite Charity, and friend/neighbor in need.

Motivation Mondays: LOVE Is… #HappyValentinesDay
When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. Elizabeth Bowen
Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine. Christina Rossetti
Most people are slow to champion love because they fear the transformation it brings into their lives. And make no mistake about it: love does take over and transform the schemes and operations of our egos in a very mighty way. Aberjhani
Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. Robert Heinlein
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you. A. A. Milne
A Great Need By Hafiz
Out
Of a great need
We are all holding hands
And climbing.
Not loving is a letting go.
Listen,
The terrain around here
Is
Far too
Dangerous
For
That.
It’s all I have to bring today By Emily Dickinson
It’s all I have to bring today—
This, and my heart beside—
This, and my heart, and all the fields—
And all the meadows wide—
Be sure you count—should I forget
Someone the sum could tell—
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.
Untitled By Rumi
I swear, since seeing Your face,
the whole world is fraud and fantasy
The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf
or blossom. The distracted birds
can’t distinguish the birdseed from the snare.
A house of love with no limits,
a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon,
a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.
Close close all night By Elizabeth Bishop
Close, close all night
the lovers keep.
They turn together
in their sleep,
Close as two papers
in a book
that read each other
in the dark.
Each knows all
the other knows,
learnt by heart
from head to toes.
First Love by John Clare
I ne’er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet,
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
My face turned pale as deadly pale,
My legs refused to walk away,
And when she looked, what could I ail?
My life and all seemed turned to clay.
And then my blood rushed to my face
And took my eyesight quite away,
The trees and bushes round the place
Seemed midnight at noonday.
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start—
They spoke as chords do from the string,
And blood burnt round my heart.
Are flowers the winter’s choice?
Is love’s bed always snow?
She seemed to hear my silent voice,
Not love’s appeals to know.
I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before.
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more.
“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.” Rumi
14 Valentine’s Day Poems, Quotes & Tips
What are you doing for Valentine’s Day? This is the mantra we will hear and repeat till the 14th comes and goes. For those of you who have great romantic plans with loved ones, I say go out and enjoy yourself. Carry that feeling over to the rest of the year and to others outside of your inner circle of family and friends. To those of you who don’t celebrate it, for whatever reason, I say bravo. I hope it means you have conquered the commercialization of this formidable emotion we call LOVE. I hope it means your loved ones know, implicitly, that you are the love god/goddess of your household; you don’t need one day of the year to prove it. On the other hand, if you aren’t celebrating because you don’t believe in love or you think it’s overrated, think again! Did you miss the memo on Self-Love? Love truly begins with us and how well we care fr ourselves.
6) Invite your closest friends on your favorite video conferencing platform to enjoy some virtual comfort foods and gift exchanges and call it a Just Because Of Our Love Party.
7) Treat yourself and your family to a special meal and have each person share at least one thing they love about everyone in the family.
8) Have each family member write down all the accolades and positive feedback they shared about each other, and use the information to create individualized Valentine’s Day cards for each family member.
9) Listen to your favorite love songs and create a song list on Spotify or Apple
10) Search for top Love and Romance Movies of the last decade and Have a Movie-watching-marathon

Reflections: What Really Matters…?
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. Blaise Pascal
A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others. Frank Morgan
Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever. Audre Lorde
The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee, and thou art enough. George Edward Moore
I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you till China and Africa meet and the river jumps over the mountain and the salmon sing in the street. W. H. Auden
[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] by e.e. cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
The Privileged Lovers By Rumi
The moon has become a dancer
at this festival of love.
This dance of light,
This sacred blessing,
This divine love,
beckons us
to a world beyond
only lovers can see
with their eyes of fiery passion.
They are the chosen ones
who have surrendered.
Once they were particles of light
now they are the radiant sun.
They have left behind
the world of deceitful games.
They are the privileged lovers
who create a new world
with their eyes of fiery passion.
The Price By Henry Fielding
Can there on earth, my Celia, be
A price I would not pay for thee?
Yes, one dear precious tear of thine
Should not be shed to make thee mine.
In Former Days We’d Both Agree By Bhartṛhari
In former days we’d both agree
That you were me and I was you.
What has now happened to us two,
That you are you, and I am me?

LOVE: 14 Valentine’s Day Poems, Quotes & Tips
Do you remember your first Valentine? Your memorable or saddest Valentine? Valentine’s Day can be a trigger for good memories and not so good ones of unrequited love, shattered dreams, and long gone lovers…All of these memories count for something and add to our bag of life stories we carry with us; sometimes tucked away as scars or as sacred events. What matters most is that we motivate ourselves to build healthier, positive, and fulfilling experiences and memories. While love can be exhilarating and enervating, it can heat us up and leave us cold and we must learn to move forward with life and not get stuck. We can take the experiences, bundle them up, tie them with a glorious bow, and offer them to the Gods; asking for a compassionate lover, a lasting companion, gratitude for loved ones, grace for future loves, and above all, blessings for fulfilling love. Happy Valentine’s Day!
11) Take a healthy walk and re-evaluate your daily routine to include time for reflection/prayer, exercise, creative endeavors, and other things you keep putting off.
12) Read uplifting articles like “Do You Love Yourself?” by inspirational author Louise Hay. In the article, she offered twelve important tools/tips on self-love
Stop All Criticism. Support Yourself.
Forgive Yourself. Do Mirror Work
Don’t Scare Yourself. Be Loving to Your Negatives.
Be Gentle and Kind and Patient. Love Yourself
Be Kind to Your Mind. Take Care of Your Body.
Praise Yourself. Do It Now.
13) Give thanks and gratitude for all the good in your life and share it with others
14) Practise Random Acts of Kindness for at least the next 14 days

Happy Valentine’s Day & Mega Monday Blog Hop
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along. Rumi
I won’t give up on us, even if the skies get rough. Jason Mraz
They invented hugs to let people know you love them without saying anything. Bil Keane
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. Ingrid Bergman
If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love. Maya Angelou
One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII By Pablo Neruda
I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries
the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose
from the earth lives dimly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you directly without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love,
except in this form in which I am not nor are you,
so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.
Valentine By Donald Hall
Chipmunks jump, and
Greensnakes slither.
Rather burst than
Not be with her.
Bluebirds fight, but
Bears are stronger.
We’ve got fifty
Years or longer.
Hoptoads hop,
but Hogs are fatter.
Nothing else but
Us can matter
Trifle By Georgia Douglas Johnson
Against the day of sorrow
Lay some trifling thing
A smile, a kiss, a flower
For sweet remembering
Then when the day is darkest
Without one rift of blue
Take out your little trifle
And dream your dream anew.
Unfortunate Coincidence By Dorothy Parker
By the time you swear you’re his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying –
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.
She Walks in Beauty By Lord Byron (George Gordon)
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

I love a holiday when there is no other reason for it besides love. Great quotes+
I agree Valentine’s Day whether you celebrate or not is not about the commercial side of it but rather self-love.
Oh this post is so good and informative. Unfortunately I read it today and it is not V day but who says I can’t use them during the other days? haha Thanks for sharing it. – Paolo
I can definitely feel the love in these poems! I’ll definitely share this post to my husband!
These are all such beautiful poems. They all capture the feeling of Valentine’s Day so well and so powerfullay.

Love is in the air – and these poems and tender words are so beautiful and making me wanting for more.

An insightful post! I can’t quite remember my first valentines day but I’ve always felt excluded until now, valentines day is for everyone. Thank is for remembering us of that!
This is a perfect read for me for Valentine’s. We are all humans and we are destine to love and to be loved. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
A great desire to be inspired, excited and loved. Thanks for the tips!
These are some beautiful Valentines Day poems and quotes. Thank you for sharing.
Valentines Day is a day of love, a day to love and to be loved. All these poems are beautiful!
It brought such a smile to my face to read all these poems and quotes. It’s so good to celebrate love and to be reminded of what it is to be love and to love too. Thank you for that reminder and Happy Valentine’s day!
Rumi will always be the one poet I associate with this holiday. I do not even know when that opinion started, it just stuck. I can not think of Valentine’s day, and not include a line or two of Rumi in there! Blessings!
Poems are great way of expressing love not just on valentines day. Thank you for sharing these love quotes and poems
I am so in love with these 2 poems, Untitled by Rumi ant Close close all night By Elizabeth Bishop. I cannot wait to resume my Thursday night out and listen to these poems.
Those are all beautifully written poems for Valentine’s Day. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Happy Valentines day!!! Wish u guys had a good one!
Love these Valentine’s Day quotes and poems. So many of these would be perfect to put in a card or inscribe in a book!
“Make a list of all the things you LOVE about YOU. Type it up and Frame it on your wall”….I am so doing this! How is your Valentines’ Day going?
So much love and joy and I love this theme, thanks a lot for sharing with us ! – Knycx Journeying
We did a video conferencing for Galentine’s Day. Or at least that’s what people are calling it, lol. It was a good excuse to ‘get together’ with friends I hardly see anymore.
Love is celebrated not just on Valentine’s Day but everyday! This day is a reminder that we can set a time for us to celebrate love, not just romantic love!
These are all very beautiful. They really capture the emotion behind the day.
These are so great. I especially love “In Former Days”. It’s short but so powerful.
These are all so beautiful. I really love “First Love”. That’s almost exactly how I felt when I met my husband for the first time.
Amazing and beautiful poem for Valentine. I love the first love.
Lovely pieces of poetry this heart’s day! Thank you for sharing these!
Happy Hearts day dear! These are amazing collection with everything about love. Our daughter is a Valentine baby as she was born exactly 9 months from now. Wishing everyone filled with joy and happiness all year round and not just love month
I like poetry. ‘It’s all I have to bring today’ By Emily Dickinson sounds melodically beautiful.
This is a wide variety of haiku and poems for valentine’s day. I liked your idea of having a virtual party and sharing comfort food, stories and gifts.
Amazing poems, could be perfect to put on a card to send either to yourself or a partner.
Lovely poems and sentiment in honor of Valentine’s Day! I love that we have a day to cherish and appreciate our partner, and that’s exactly what I did. 🙂
Well I missed out on all those wonderful ideas but remain as strong as ever!! Must be love of life!
Sweet Jesus, So good to see you here Chris. I need to come to visit you. It’s been so long.
Valentine’s Day can be such a time of the year. Love these quotes!
Happy belated Valentine’s day. This year is surely different and you have some great ideas for celebration this special occasion during the pandemic. I also sent my family and friends gifts to show the values of our love and our bond. Thanks for this beautiful post.
i really loved the close close all the night poem – it was beautiful ! and my firm favourite kind regards Pati Robins @ style squeeze blog
Love is something that is super important to my life right now and these poems reinforced that. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful words for a wonderful holiday. I just celebrated by going to a cafe and celebrating myself. Giving myself the love!
Very nice valentine’s day poems. I think you are a wonderful poet.
Love your idea of using Valentines day to spread love. Be it our special someone, (obviously) be it our neighbors, co-workers or anyone else we know could use some cheering up and external love to shine on them.
I love “love”! I fee all the love from these poems. They are so good.
Do you remember your first Valentine? I remember the fun times as a kid. Paper bags and cards and candies we did. Not sure what kids do this day. But that was a sweet memory for me.
I wish every day is Valentine’s Day! Except no chocolates for me every day unless it is 70% dark chocolate or higher 🙂
Honestly, I am not so big on Valentines’ Day since, in my opinion, “we” lost the entire essence of it and instead made it about romantic love, so much in the world. I love this, ““Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves- alone we find it with another.” Thomas Merton”!
Next Valentine’s Day, hope my husband will make me a poem! I will definitely frame it 😀
These are lovely!
THe “Great Need” Poem was really beautiful!
I think my favorite here is “Close close all night”, all of these are quite lovely though.
beautiful and romantic poems! I did enjoy it a lot
Aww these poems are so sweet! My favorite one is Valentine By Donald Hall.
Am I the only one that loves love? LOL! These love poems just fill me with such happiness that I’m literally smiling so hard right now lol. Loved these collection of poems and quotes!
Awwww I love these sweet and romantic poems! I think everyday should be Valentine’s Day when it comes to showing our love to the people around us. Thanks for this!
A beautiful selection of poems. Self love is so important, as they say, the relationship you have with yourself is the only constant relationship of your life. We have to work on self love to love others. Love the wealth of quotes and information in this post. Beautiful theme throughout with the pictures.
These are such beautiful quotes and poems. Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays, so I really enjoyed reading all of these.
Really great poems. Thanks for sharing,love this.
Beautiful poems! My favorite so far is Close close all night By Elizabeth Bishop. Thank you for sharing this.

Such a beautiful poetry for valentines day. Amazing article full of love.
Oh I love the idea of spoiling yourself with flowers and gifts. And seriously, a bit of self-love sure goes a long way! Gorgeous collection of poems. A great reminder to celebrate romance!
Such beautiful sentiments! I did enjoy your suggestions of things to do. So often, we forget that Valentine’s Day isn’t just for lovers. But for sharing love period.
This is lovely, I hope you had a good Valentine’s Day.
I should have sent out a few cards to my gal pals. That would have made their day. Next year definitely.
Aw! Nothing compares to a great love poem. The one by Emily Dickinson is especially sweet! Sometimes I long for those innocent days of love notes before we all became so consumed by tech. 😬
I love this quote and think its the key to a good marriage,, “Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”- Robert Heinlein
Such a lovely collection of material to share around Valentines Day. The poems are creative and help reflect on love that everyone feels for that special someone. Great post to keep that spirit alive and well.
Nice quotes and tips! I usually just go for the traditional bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates, but these poems and other tips certainly add to the celebration!
So romantic to read these mushy quotes, I miss Valentine’s Day already.
So many options to choose from. I’m sure people were able to make use of these.
Valentines Day is simply amazing. These are simply amazing quotes for couples
Love the tip of sending secret Valentine postcards to struggling friends. It takes so little to make someone’s day infinitely better.
Wow thats a nice set of lovely poems and quotes. I wrote few myself this Valentine, felt good about. Love is in the air 🙂

Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. I love the romance of it all. These are beautiful poems for the day.

Beautiful poems, even though valentines day has passed, love is something that should be acknowledged and celebrated everyday
These are all such beautiful valentines day poems, most of them as new to me but a great read.
We actually didn’t do anything much this year for Valentine’s Day. That’s okay though, it’s not a big deal for us even on the years where we aren’t in the middle of a pandemic. 🙂
February is a love month for everyone but I also believe that we give love to one another even if it’s not February or Valentine’s Day. To love one another is one of the greatest commandment of God. Spread love everyday!
These are absolutely lovely poems. I love your collections because each poem or quote always has a bit of a different take on the same thing.
I love the tips that you included in this post. I think next year, I might surprise some people with a little Valentine’s Day gift that they’re not expecting.
These are such beautiful poems and quotes. They really do capture the emotion of the holiday. I love them.
Ohhh… this is sweet. I just want to know it sooner so I can read these to my wife in Feb 14. Surely there will be other occasions that I can use these poems.
I just adore the holiday where we focus on love! Great read!
Those are such great motivation notes. Thank you for sharing.
Somehow all these holidays are more precious and intensive during the pandemic.
Wow, these are some really beautiful poems and quotes. I loved the Rumi’s one the most – deep and inspiring.
There are so many great love quotes and poems here. I think my favourite you shared is Audens
I haven’t read poetry in a while, and these are nice pieces. I enjoyed the Valentine’s themed poems!
Beautiful collection of love poems. I personally like Rumi’s compositions a lot. Nice read.

I feel like I am more in love now after reading these fantastic poems!
To me, love is all, and I am enjoying all these beautiful poems. My favorite one is The Privileged Lovers By Rumi
valentines day this year was supposed to be more sensitive and personal owing to the restrictions in force. I totally agree with the concept of self love even if one has a partner and the words by RUMI are so well aptly put
What an excellent collection of love poetry. Emily Bishop’s is my favourite by far.
Valentine’s Day is such a unique holiday in which it can stir up so many emotions good and/or bad and those emotions can change from year to year.
These are beautiful poems my favorite are I carry your heart with me and The Privileged Lovers. I hope to see more of such poems the next Valentine’s.
So meaningful and beautifully poems. Loved it.
These are nicely written poems for valentines day.I like the poem ‘She Walks in Beauty’ by Lord Byron much.
The Quotes by Rumi are definitely and always my favorite! Great content, thanks for sharing love ♥️
I love these quotes, people shy away from love but in truth love is one of the most beautiful gifts, nothing else really compares
So many beautiful words to celebrate Valentines Day wtih.
I love every word you used here. Very creative!
Wow, these are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
What an incredible collection of poems. Will surely going to use one or two poems from this post next year. 🙂
These Valentine-themed poems are making me feel floating with love. So romantic and I wish my hubby can write a poem, lol.
These poems are incredibly touching. I especially liked the poem One Hundred Love Sonnets. Thank you for inspiring me today.
To me, without love, nothing can work. I love all these poems about love. I just love Love.
These are very lovely Val’s quotes and poems. It’s a shame I’m just seeing them now, though. I would have shared with my sister who’s a Val’s buff.
Such beautiful poems this is very inspired and romantic for Valentine’s Day
These are such cute poems. I absolutely love them!
Love these poems! And the chocolate pictures got me drooling-haha!
You have a great collection of poems for valentine day. I’m a huge fan of Rumi.
I love the poems you shared! Thank you for this week’s motivation!
These poems are very emotional and romantic! I wish my husband will write me a poem, or even just a haiku.
So many lovely romantic poems out there! I really enjoy Valentine’s Day as a day to celebrate the people who mean so much to you.
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays, its a special time we can show those around us that we truly love and appreciate them.
I have a love/hate relationship with V-Day. And it sounds like Dorothy Parker does too. I’m right there with her 😉
Everyday is Valentine’s day in my household. I love my wife and my children. Reading the poems make my love them more.
Among the poems, I like One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII By Pablo Neruda the best. It’s something that I see myself reading to my boyfriend.
These words are just too cute. i love love. i have never been gifted enough to write poems, hopefully i can borrow one for the next vday
I love a holiday when there is no other reason for it besides love. Great quotes+
I absolutely love these Valentine’s Day poems and quotes. I’m such a sucker for well-written poetry. I really like the One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII By Pablo Neruda.
absolutely loved these poems ! Made me very nostalgic
I love St. Valentine’s Day. It’s my 2nd favorite holiday of the year after my birthday. The poem about first love is particularly intriguing. It reminded me of my own first love story.
I can’t wait for valentine’s day! My favorite time of the year!
I love Valentine’s Day even though it is also kind of fuels consumerism as well. Celebrating the true meaning of Valentine’s Day should be everyday… a simple words of appreciation would suffice.
Valentine’s Day is coming and these poems are so perfect! I am thinking of adding a short poem for my hubby for his V-day gift. He deserves it.
I really love the idea of sending yourself a Valentine and flowers if you’re single. It’s a great way to practice self-love.
I do remember my first valentine. It was so sweet and the most memorable. Ive had other happy valentines too and sad moments.
Valentine is my favorite time of the year. I love the flowers and chocolates! But most of all I love to surprise my loved ones and show my love to them.
Happy valentines to every one. I wish you all the love that you deserve and thanks for these beautiful poems
What a lovely post. I love all the inspiration and motivation on this post. We have a family tradition of reading poems to each other.
As a quote lover, I loved the poems the most. I also loved the poems but those quotes interested me the most.
Such beautiful poems! I forwarded this to my husband and I hope he’ll get the hint for next St. Valentine’s Day!
My kids love valentines day and will love these quotes!
I love these poems because they are nice to read and full of meanings. I’ve found my inspiration. Thanks for share. – Amalia
i really like the poems! I dont read to many poems but the ones you wrote about were so beautiful!
Poems about love are perfect for Valentines day. And all the other days, too. Love your tips for single people
So many amazing poems! Thanks for sharing the love! I am not a big fan of Valentine’s Day and my hubby and I don’t celebrate it. We aren’t fans of overpriced and overcrowded places/things. But I do little things for our son. I want him to know that he is special and very loved.

This selection of poetry and quotes are beautiful! What a perfect selection for a perfect day of love! Thank you for sharing!
Those are such a nice collection of poems and quotes. I do love the happiness and hearts around Valentine’s Day.
Well, now you’ve got me thinking… do I remember my first Valentine? I honestly don’t think I do!! I know it had to have been with my husband, but I have no idea what we did. It was a very long time ago. 😉
wonderful poems! I am still in the Valentine’s mood so I really enjoy reading these with my partner. thanks!
Thank you for sharing this awesome collection of quotes and poems of love. The poem by Rumi is just awesome, it really touched my heart and the quote ,” Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever” by Audre Lorde is also so lovely.
You’ve got some great poems there. I missed Valentine’s Day this year, my husband and I both worked late.
As a singer, I’m always working on Valentine’s. So my husband and I often have an extended Valentines evening another night of the week. I’m a huge romantic, so I love these poems you’ve shared.
We didn’t do much for Valentines day but it was still a pretty special day.
Love starts with yourself. I don’t think you can actually love anyone if you don’t love yourself
There are a lot of beautiful poems here! It is always lovely to read what you’ve put together for the post. Thank you!
These are so beautiful and romantically written and I love them. It is very nice reading it, and thanks for sharing!
Poems really are so incredibly beautiful, right? These are no exception – they show such love.
Love all these poems, such great messages for this special occasion.
