Sometimes I just think back to the rst time I laid eyes on you. I knew right then that I had found
someone incredible. Ever since that very moment all I have ever wanted was to be with you. No matter
how dark my day is, seeing you always brightens it and makes me realize that with you, I am doing right.
Your heart is so pure and so forgiving that it will always be the center of my attention, no matter what
else is going on in my life. I look forward to this day and many more just like it for you will forever be in
my heart.
You have gripped my soul with a ferocity reserved for a castaway clinging to a raft in the middle of the
ocean. If my soul is the raft, it is your hold that keeps me a oat. Dont ever let go. I love you.
Whenever I am with you, it is like having my emotional batteries recharged with joy. Your smile radiates
into me. Your touch sends little shivers through my body. Your presence pleases my mind and your soul
pours peace on mine. I love youmadly, sincerely, completely and with no reservation, in a way that is
blissfully wonderful.

win her over or steal her heart all over again, these quintessential Southern love poems for her are a great
way to add a romantic touch to her day!
But we loved with a love that was more than love / I and my Annabel Lee / With a love that the
wingd seraphs of Heaven Coveted her and me. Annabel Lee, Edgar Allan Poe
I lovd thee from the earliest dawn, / When rst I saw thy beautys ray,/ And will, until lifes eve comes
on, / And beautys blossom fades away; / And when all things go well with thee, / With smiles and tears
remember me. / Ill love thee when thy morn is past, / And wheedling gallantry is oer, / When youth is
lost in ages blast, / And beauty can ascend no more. / And when lifes journey ends with thee, / O, then
look back and think of me. Early Affection, George Moses Horton
There's no doubt in my mind / a Southern girl was born / for a man to hold, / to sway as one / to the
sound of country music, / in his arms he embraces pure gold. / A man is born to love a Southern girl /
blond hair, black hair, brown hair, / straight or curled, / a man is born to love a Southern girl. Born to
Love a Southern Girl, Steven S. Walsky

Male poets are often shown composing sonnets for their leading ladies, but many women throughout
history have written masterpieces in the name of love. You too can carry on this tradition. Tell your man
exactly how you feel by channeling the power of the written word. Whether you pen a poem yourself or
borrow from the classics, your loved one is sure to appreciate the eloquent message youre throwing his
way. Make your Southern romance truly come alive with these love poems for him!
Love arrives / and in its train come ecstasies / old memories of pleasure / ancient histories of pain. / Yet
if we are bold, / love strikes away the chains of fear / from our souls. / We are weaned from our timidity /
In the ush of love's light / we dare be brave / And suddenly we see / that love costs all we are / and will
ever be. / Yet it is only love / which sets us free. Touched by an Angel, Maya Angelou
My monkey-wrench man is my sweet patootie; / the lover of my life, my youth and age. / My heart
belongs to him and to him only; / the children of my esh are his and bear his rage / Now grown to years
advancing through the dozens / the honeyed kiss, the lips of wine and re / fade blissfully into the
distant years of yonder / but all my days of Happiness and wonder / are cradled in his arms and eyes
entire. / They carry us under the waters of the world / out past the starposts of a distant planet / And
creeping through the seaweed of the ocean / they tangle us with ropes and yarn of memories / where
we have been together, you and I. Love Song for Alex, 1979, Margaret Walker
I had not thought of violets late, / The wild, shy kind that spring beneath your feet / In wistful April days,
when lovers mate / And wander through the elds in raptures sweet. / The thought of violets meant
orists' shops, / And bows and pins, and perfumed papers ne; / And garish lights, and mincing little fops
/ And cabarets and soaps, and deadening wines. / So far from sweet real things my thoughts had strayed,
/ I had forgot wide elds; and clear brown streams; / The perfect loveliness that God has made, / Wild
violets shy and Heaven-mounting dreams. / And nowunwittingly, you've made me dream / Of violets,
and my soul's forgotten gleam. Sonnet, Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson
