Words are quickly losing their value because of how people perceive them, and romantic poems are bearing the brunt of this negligence. We spend such little time talking about how we feel because we don’t even know how to explain it.

If your partner’s love language is words of affirmation, then that’s even more reason why you need romantic poems. Words hold the power of expression and can be made easy if you have them at your fingertips. For this reason, we have compiled a list of poems that can speak the rhythm your heart beats at.
Back in the day, girls would sneak love letters into their boyfriend’s bags, or a boy would tell a junior to deliver a letter to his girl. It was innocent, yet thrilling doing those little things back then.
However, everyone seems to have gone digital. Social media has taken over and relationships have become long-distance even if a couple stay in the same town. It’s a case of being close, yet feeling so far.
Fortunately, there are ways you can still keep the flame in a relationship alive. If you leave it to social media lols or dates that have no substance, you would find yourself wondering if the relationship is worth it. It can get boring.
You should surprise your partner every now and then by sending them love poems that communicate your emotions.
(BEWARE: They are so sweet your teeth might rut.)
