5 Love Poems for People in Relationships
There are a lot of love poems out there, but not nearly enough for people happily in relationships.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
― Lao Tzu
This title is a bit blunt for my tastes, but I wanted to pause the poetry for a moment to be simple and straight forward. There isn’t a lot of happy love poetry out there. These are the kinds of strong emotions we capture in poetry, but love poetry often seems to gravitate to the less happy spectrum of romance. If I had a penny for every poem about heartbreak I’ve ever read (or written myself, I’m just the same as you), I’d be a very rich woman.
There are a lot of love poems floating around in the literary atmosphere. Even though the library of poetry focused on love could probably outmatch the Library of Congress five times over, why aren’t there more love poems for people in committed relationships? Even if the relationships aren’t new, the feelings are still strong.
