a non-corny love poem? isn't that like artificial lemon or non-alcoholic lager? it has to be corny.

No, Edgar Allen Poe's poems of tragic love are not corny... but you do have a point there Jez, as usual

Here is one that i absolutly love.

Love Without Love
-Luis Lloréns Torres

I love you, because in my thousand and one nights of dreams,
I Never once dreamed of you.
I looked down paths that traveled from afar,
but it was never you I expected.
Suddenly I've felt you flying through my soul
in quick , lofty flight,
and how beautiful you seem way up there, far
from my always idiot heart!
Love me that way, flying over everything.
And, like the bird on its branch, land in my arms
only to rest,
then fly off again.
Be not like the romantic one who,
In love, set me on fire.
When you climb up my mansion,
enter so lightly, that as you enter
the dog on my heart will not bark.

Translated by Julio Marazán

my favorite love poet is pablo neruda. probably his most famous love poetry comes from his collection entitled cien sonetos de amor (translated to: 100 love sonnets). the entire collection is dedicated to his wife, matilde. and perhaps the most well-known poem from this collection is:

XVII

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

-Pablo Neruda (translated by stephen tapscott)
