SHORT LOVE POEMS

These always make me feel inspired and remind me that the best days are ahead of me in life. Some poems can be very long and boring, these are Short Poems - to the point, just the way I like them. When I say Love Poems I don't always mean of the romance variety. The act of writing poems in itself is for me an act of Love - so all poems, whether short or long are Love Poems.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.


I Had No Time To Hate

I had no time to hate, because
The grave would hinder me,
And life was not so ample I
Could finish enmity.

Nor had I time to love, but since
Some industry must be,
The little toil of love, I thought,
Was large enough for me.
