Love poems, an emotional phrase that gives all of us some deep thoughts, weather you like lyrics or not. As you are reading this I assume that you like poetry. Do you read or listen? I like to do both. Beautiful written texts are always remarkable reading. On the other hand...listening to a verse by a master narrator is also delightful. This article is about poems on audio books. You will also find some quotes from the authors.

The Sonnets by William Shakespeare

There is no grading in this listing but I felt I had to start with Shakespeare's The Sonnets. They serve as one of the most beautiful romantic love poems ever written and also give us an idea of the mind of the genius behind these captivating words.

William Shakespeare quote:

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date."

If Thou Must Love Me

This is Elizabeth Barrett Browning's appeal to her lover to adore her only for herself, and not for any qualities that may fade away.

Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning:

"Who so loves believes the impossible."

My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose

Robert Burns's well-known ode blessing the eternal power of true romance.

Quote by Robert Burns:

"O, my luve's like a red red rose That's newly sprung in June: O my luve's like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune."

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love Christopher Marlowe's emotional appeal to his truelove to escape with him and live a romantic country-life with him.

Quote by Christopher Marlowe:

"Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?"

12 Valentines Poems

12 Valentines Poems is actually a small collection of romantic poesy as it's best. There are twelve specially selected favorite's. To mention some of them; Edward Fitzgerald's meditations from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Edward Lear's comic verse The Owl and The Pussycat, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, John Donne's The Sunne Rising and lines from John Milton's Paradise Lost, Robert Herrick's Delight in Disorder and Shakespeare's Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day.

Listening and reading love poems can be a great source of joy. However, there is actually one better way to use these words by masters: Read the poem to your dear one yourself. Get inspired and surprise your love with a passionate sonnet by Shakespeare this evening.
