How else did William Shakespeare start his world renowned stories but from short love poems he used to utter to his muses…

During the time when there were no postal mail service, next-day mail delivery, sms message, video message, email and internet – young couples would communicate and express their fondness for each other thru short love poems. Here is one of the wise quotes about love from the master himself, William Shakespeare:

Take, O Take

TAKE, O take those lips away

That so sweetly were forsworn,

And those eyes, the break of day,

Lights that do mislead the morn:

But my kisses bring again,

Bring again—

Seals of love, but seal’d in vain,

Seal’d in vain!

Short Love Poems of Today

We don’t speak the same language anymore, the deep words that William used to say.  But it does not mean we don’t want to convey our love just as passionate and as fiery like how the olden people did it.  We express our feeling through songs and songs of today are evidence of such fact that we may not have Shakespeare’s brilliant mind or accent, but we know how to praise love through short love poems made into songs.

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
Oh how do I live?

-Trisha Yearwood, How do I Live

This is about a woman who was separated from his beloved and can’t take the pain of losing the man he loves because of something they have no control of and was forced into.  She is in doubt of herself if she can move on with her life because it is not anymore worth it without his man with her.

This is one of the saddest short love poems ever made but isn’t it the truth?  Most times we feel this kind of desperation when we are away from our beloved.

I look and stare so deep in your eyes,
I touch on you more and more every time,
When you leave I’m begging you not to go,
Call your name two or three times in a row,
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain,
How I’m feeling and my pride is the one to blame.
‘Cuz I know I don’t understand,
Just how your love your doing no one else can.

-          Beyonce, Crazy in Love

Their love is new, she is so into him and is crazy obsessed about her new love.  She does not want to be away from him even for a split second and sometimes does not understand herself why she acts that way.  All she knows is that she is addicted to him.

Short love poems like this are for the young people who act on impulse and feel that their love is all about being together all the time.

Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It’s a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Your faith will lead love where it has to go

-          Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand, Tell Him

This is one of the short love poems that captures what love really is.  Love is beautiful.  Love is unconditional.  Love is not selfish or boastful.  Love is forever.

Cause when you’re fifteen and

Somebody tells you they love you

You’re gonna believe them

When you’re fifteen and your first kiss

Makes you head spin ’round but

In your life you’ll do things greater

Than dating the boy on the football team

But I didn’t know it at fifteen

When all you wanted

Was to be wanted

Wish you could go back

And tell yourself what you know now

Back then I swore I was gonna

Marry him someday

But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

And Abgail gave everything she had to a boy

Who changed his mind

And we both cried

-          Taylor Swift, Fifteen

This is the perfect example of a young love, short love poems like these perfectly explains that when one is young, it is impossible to feel real love but the love a young person feels is equated to deep infatuation and strong crush
