In Promise and Dress of Time: I still miss the bones of your hands, those lips that rocked my ribs, that look that flayed the metamorphosis of my flesh. These are lines of my work. This is an example of a contemporary love poem.
Love poems often convey emotions and subjectivity. Some are sung and go under the classification of the Lyric. According to Paul Landis and Entwistle (The Study of Poetry, 1929 Tomas Nelson and Sons), lyric poems can be a poetic cry from the heart. They express a single emotion, they can be brief, musical or verbal metrics, or both.
Therefore, its brooding and haunting beauty eludes all tests!
Professor Albert Casuga said that “those who can write love poems might make better poets.”
Online, see Rumi, Poem Hunter, and Poems About for examples.
Master poets in lyric and love are Shakespeare, Milton, Neruda, Lorca, Auden, Pushkin, Rilke, Plath, Maya Angelou, Dylan, Frost, Hass, Yeats, Eliot, Donne and more.

Love poems should let the mind see the lines in action. Moments of absence and separation, invitations, activities, conversations about life, fiery reflections, or the triumph or loss of a lover are vividly expressed in words with characters at peaks of emotion or drama.
In my poems, I could hardly imagine how I did it. In the first drafts, they were written spontaneously, as if he didn’t want to stop. Revisions could be made after the draft, although most of the time I sent them before without revisions. They are still open to going back to work.
Brand “Memphis Ferry”. This is a sample from John Foster’s “On the Translation of Hieroglyphic Love Songs.” I got this sample because of my love of the phenomenon of water. The Memphis Ferry happens at twilight, in a mystical communion with the triad of gods who watch. One of the characters is Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of love. She functions in the Lyric as the Greek Aphrodite.
The lines read “…newborn flowers in the blue lotus. The twilight is full of gods.”
Finally, the inspiration (muse) in a love poem is tremendous. Perhaps, it is by the gods or in the depths of the heart that no logic or intellect can ever elucidate.
What can you say about David’s psalms in lament to God, the songs from the Holy Bible or Job in his unwavering faith?
And therefore my plea, in any word that comes from my heart, may your divine Sacred Heart be the source of all love. Owner of the universe, come to me with zeal.
