Twelve Love Poems to Read Aloud

For weddings, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, the day you propose, or just to reaffirm your love, these 12 short, accessible love poems were written with committed couples in mind, gay or straight. These are not canned, cliched love poems. Rather, the voice is real, spilling with light. Stars quiver. The speaker notices the sleeping eye that flutters with dream and the glance that declares a knowing love. The poems ask to forget the workaday world, they ask to remember, they ask for kisses, the dream I dream has wakened, is alive when you kiss me, so please kiss me. Kiss me. O, never forget to kiss me.
