Never Stop Loving You Poems: Love Through Words

I’ll never stop loving you poems

“For the first time in forever…”

We’ll launch straight into Anna and Elsa’s territory now, shall we… are you singing it, too?! Bah haha! 

Okay, I know you clicked for Never Stop Loving You Poems. Don’t worry, I got-chu. This post is one of many posts I write within the beautiful world of encouraging poems. 

Let’s dive in. 

Perfect love poems

Some say the essence of unending love is closer linked to commitment. What do you think? I will leave that up to you – but I hope these poems of mine are a beautiful expression of everlasting love.

They’re a reminder that true love is not just a feeling but a choice. It is a choice to love someone unconditionally.

And, note to all, it doesn’t have to be ‘romantic love’ we’re talking about here either. If you want advice on that however, move on and read this post titled “How to get explosive passion back in your marriage.”

And now, onto my poems – this first one I wrote the day after our first baby was born…

Thoughtful poems

People experience love in different ways. 

I’ve often questioned the love people have for me, whether genuine or not. I’m sure that’s something we all go through at times.

(My poor husband, haha! His whole life with me has been a barrage of, “Do you love me? Like, really?!”)

Here’s a confession. I love my husband to bits, but he drives me nuts at times, too. He’s not great at sending loving text messages or giving me flowers, but deep down, he loves me very much. 

I guess I’m just one of those girls who craves romantic love, but I’ve rarely experienced it. And that does sometimes make me sad. 

But please, don’t feel sorry for me! It’s not uncommon for men to struggle with their emotions. We’re 100% committed to each other, me and him – it’s all good.  

One thing to point out here, though, is, in poetry, there’s never a need to have a solution to the poem’s ending. The best poems, in my opinion, leave the ending open, like this one:

Defining Eternal Affection

When we speak of unending love, we refer to a love that surpasses all boundaries, transcending time and space.

It’s a love that doesn’t depend on external factors but comes from within. Unending love is a feeling and a commitment to loving someone for who they are, flaws, warts, spots, and all.

Now, I openly admit that I feel love like this for my babies.

I am genuinely head over heels besotted with them, which is why a lot of my poetry is “Poems on Motherhood.” This mom thing is a journey of love like no other, believe me. 

The Power of Consistent Love

Okay, so we know consistent love is the foundation of unending love. It’s a daily choice to love someone, even when it’s difficult or you don’t ‘feel’ like it.

Consistent love means showing up for them, listening to them, and supporting them through thick and thin. It means being patient and forgiving and never giving up on the relationship. Commitment is everything!

When we combine commitment with unending love, we create a bond that can withstand any challenge. It’s a love that grows stronger with time.

Unending love is not easy, but it’s always worth it.

Expressions Through Time

Historical Views of Love-Related Poetry

As a poet, I’m fascinated by the history of poetry, particularly on the theme of love.

Love has been a source of inspiration for poets throughout the ages, and it’s interesting to see how the expression of love changes over time. Or does it?

One of the earliest examples of love poetry I know of comes from ancient Greece.

The poet Sappho wrote about love between women, which was considered scandalous then. In medieval Europe in contrast, courtly love was a popular theme. 

During the Renaissance, poets like William Shakespeare and John Donne wrote more complex and nuancedly about love. Love was no longer just a simple emotion but something that could be both beautiful and painful.

Write Your Own Poems

Writing a poem to express your love for someone is, truly, the perfect way to express your emotions – unless you write whatever hatred comes out of your mind instead! (jokes, seriously, but kinda not in equal measure, lol)

I do know that writing poetry can be daunting if you’ve never done it before, however. 

Therefore, here are a few tips to help you craft your first poem, making it a meaningful expression of your love (if you want to!).

Structuring Your Poem

The structure of your poem is important as it conveys your message effectively. Consider using a traditional structure, such as a sonnet or a haiku, or create your own unique structure like I do in my poetry.

The truth is, there are no rules to poetry.

You can use punctuation where you like, break up lines, and tune the rhythm to your voice (like I do with mine!)

A common structure for a love poem to my knowledge, is to describe the person you love and then move on to expressing your feelings and emotions.

Choosing the Right Words

Choosing the right words is crucial, especially in a love poem. Think about the words that best describe your loved one and your feelings for them.

Use descriptive language to create vivid images in your reader’s mind, and consider using metaphors and similes to compare your loved one to something beautiful or meaningful.

Add Personal Touches

Adding personal touches to your poem makes it even more special.

Consider those insider jokes that only you or your loved one know, or references that the two of you would understand. You could also include memories or experiences you’ve shared. 

Adding personal touches will (undoubtedly) make your poem more intimate and meaningful!

Love of my life

Look, I’m a mushy type at heart, and although I married a control engineer who himself struggles with me when I burst into tears, every time, without fail, at the end of Encanto, I openly state there’s not a passing day I’d want anything different.

(He might feel differently mind you, who knows, haha.)

And it’s OK to struggle, too, if you’re feeling that.

This false, filtered world that expects everyone to live perfect lives is so fake; I can’t say enough about how wrong it is!

Seriously, how much pressure does it put on couples to perform perfectly 100% all the time? 

My husband’s given me so much – literally, the whole world. It’s such a beautiful experience to have come such a long way with him, through our 20s, when we prioritized traveling over everything else, and now into our late 30s, when our gorgeous children make up the different levels of life, so to speak.

I’ll end this post by inviting you to invest in your own memories of love.

If you’re lucky, one day, you’ll be an old lady on your deathbed, and you’ll be thinking back at this gorgeous time of your life, wishing you’d invested your last breath in that overflowing, all-encompassing true love you have to offer. 

So go on, show it like you mean it! (Love, I mean!) And write that poem! If you need some guidance, check out my ebook below.
