Thank you for visiting our Valentines day poems
page. Below is our collection of Valentines day poems. You may
also wish to browse through our collection of Love poems on our
other pages. The story of the very first Valentines stems from a poem. Saint Valentine served as a priest during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Saint Valentine defied a marriage law in acted by Claudius, so the emperor had Saint Valentine jailed. Legend has it that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer’s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it, “From your Valentine” before his execution. Since then the tradition of love notes and love poems have enchanted us on the Valentines season. Later, emerged Valentine cards in the 1800’s with various sentimental love poems to be shared by loved ones on Valentines Day to this very day.
Romance Poem of the Day
Romance poem of the day:
WOMAN IN LOVE
That is my window. Just now
I have so softly wakened.
I thought that I would float.
How far does my life reach,
and where does the night begin
I could think that everything
was still me all around;
transparent like a crystal's
depths, darkened, mute.
I could keep even the stars
within me; so immense
my heart seems to me; so willingly
it let him go again.
whom I began perhaps to love, perhaps to hold.
Like something strange, undreamt-of,
my fate now gazes at me.
For what, then, am I stretched out
beneath this endlessness,
exuding fragrance like a meadow,
swayed this way and that,
calling out and frightened
that someone will hear the call,
and destined to disappear
inside some other life.
- RAINER MARIA RILKE
