As many languages as we speak,as many differences that we can have in between us,but there is one thing unchangable,no matter coloures,tounges,places,it just can beat them all !
That is ,heart beat..... Love .

How do poets say İ love you in poems in their own mother tongue languages ?

Thanks to bliss,reading old post of her,made me think about it,
So first contribution will be form bliss,

İn Russian,

"Я Люблю Тебя..."

Я люблю тебя, как море любит солнечный восход,
Как нарцисс, к волне склоненный,- блеск и холод сонных вод.
Я люблю тебя, как звезды любят месяц золотой,
Как поэт - свое созданье, вознесенное мечтой.
Я люблю тебя, как пламя - однодневки-мотыльки,
От любви изнемогая, изнывая от тоски.
Я люблю тебя, как любит звонкий ветер камыши,
Я люблю тебя всей волей, всеми струнами души.
Я люблю тебя, как любят неразгаданные сны:
Больше солнца, больше счастья, больше жизни и весны.

Мирра Лохвицкая

"I love you . . ."

I love you as the sea loves the sunrise,
As Narcissus loves the glimmer and the coldness of dreamy waters.
I love you as the stars love the crescent moon,
As the poem loves its creator inspired by fancy.
I love you like the flame that attracts the moth to its Death, from exhaustive love and haunted by melancholy.
I love you as the rushes love the eager wind.
I love you with all my will, and all the strings of my soul.
I love you as I love enchanting dreams,
More than the sun itself, more than the happiness itself, more than life or the joy of spring.

Mirra Lokhvitskaya

Thank you for sharing this with us bliss.

Anyone else ?with translation pls.

Surrounded by darkness,
Cold and alone,
An eerie silence,
Music begins,
Softly in the distance,
Wandering blindly,
Searching,
Light upon the horizon,
Strange feelings stirring,
Suddenly overwhelm the mind,
Emotions so great,
More than anything before,
A need to protect,
The precious feeling of love.

Like a flower needs light and water,
Like people need air,food and drink
Like a car needs diesel or petrol
I need you to love me i think


my attempts at expressing the wonderful feeling of love although words aren't really enough
i was bored this morning

Thank you robyn,a very nice poem

But do you have a poem,called 'İ love you' ?

Just to share almost same poem with many languages,and see how poem can express it in their own languges.

i always write poems to get rid of nonsense thoughts in my head so no doubt i do
u will see soon enough

I love you

I love you like the oceans
Vast and without mercy
My feelings surmount
Like a storm upon the sea
Waves crashing upon fishermans ships,
Destroying those in their way
Unstoppable they multiply,
As my love for you grows every day
Until one day the waters calm
And stillness returns


Nice and gloomy god i am too bored

cheers guess im kind of destructive eh?

u can tell we are american and english
