20 Soulful Love Poems for Your Husband

“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” — Emily Brontë

Some love runs deep—quiet, steady, and soulfully connected. It’s in the way he holds your hand without a word… or how he remembers the little things that matter. And sometimes, your heart feels so full, yet words fall short. That’s when poetry steps in. 

A few lines can say everything your heart’s been carrying—without overexplaining, without noise. Love poems don’t just speak; they sing the truths we often tuck away. So if your heart’s been whispering something lately… maybe it’s time you let it speak.

Why put your feelings into a poem for your husband?

Putting your feelings into a poem isn’t about sounding poetic—it’s about being real, present, and emotionally open. Love Poems create a space where your heart can speak freely, even when words are hard to find. 

Whether you’re celebrating, comforting, or simply expressing gratitude, a poem can leave a lasting imprint on your husband’s heart.

Here’s why writing or sharing love poems for my husband—or yours—can be so powerful:

• They speak the quiet truths we often keep inside
• A simple poem can turn an ordinary moment into something sacred.
• They offer comfort during hard days and warmth on good ones.
• Your effort shows deep care and emotional intimacy.
• Love poems become little reminders of how seen and cherished he is

1. My blessing In life – Jessica L. Newsome

Every morning I wake up and see,

The most handsome man lying next to me.

He’s the one I cherish and love,

A blessing sent from Heaven above.

I will love him as a faithful wife should,

And do everything for him I could.

I would let him know every day,

That I love him more than words can say.

For the two children we have together,

And the love for God in each other.

It will keep our love for each other strong,

And the Lord will guide us away from all wrong.

2. Satisfied- Dina Johnson

When you make love to me everything seems right,

You seem to take my hand and guide me through the night.

You reach to take my fears and throw them to the past,

You penetrate my soul in hopes to make it last.

And you standing with me, never shall I be afraid.

My inner core you’ve touched, my sanity you’ve saved.

But if you feel you can’t be strong in all my times of need,

You’ve given me a strength, somehow I’ll take the lead.

Never understanding, accepting what time may give

We’ll learn and grow together,

Cherishing each moment that we live.

3. My one and only love- Antoinette McDonald

The sound of YOUR voice is like…

A whisper to my ears,

Pure and pleasant to hear!

The sparkle of YOUR eyes…

Are as glitter

Enlightening me – showing me

TRUE LOVE!

The smell of YOUR body…

Excites and makes me HUNGER and

THIRST for thee!

YOUR lips…

Taste as sweet as HONEY,

Touching my very soul!

YOUR touch…

Hot as a burning FLAME,

Seeking to devour me!

LOVING ME and ONLY ME!!

4. My love- Joydip Dutt

My heart doesn’t belong to me.

You have its only access key.

Life is meaningful because of you.

Our bonding is priceless, always new;

Valuable you are, indeed precious.

Eternity is what I wish for us.

5. Love so amazing- Elaine Chetty

My love for you is like the raging sea,

So powerful and deep it will forever be.

Through storm, wind, and heavy rain,

It will withstand every pain.

Our hearts are so pure and love so sweet.

I love you more with every heartbeat!

6. I promise- Ian E. Rabbitt

I’ll love you 

like you’ve never been 

loved before

With all my core

As time goes on

I’ll love you more and more

No matter what life has in store

I’ll be patient, I’ll be kind,

I’ll be here to ease your mind

I’ll be honest, I’ll be loyal

I’ll do everything to ensure 

this love doesn’t spoil

7. Close your eyes- Elizabeth Smith 

Close your eyes and think of me

Close your eyes and try to see

Our hearts together and what could be

Our love forever as destiny

8. Defeated by love – Rumi

The sky was lit 

by the splendor of the moon

So powerful

I fell to the ground

Your love 

has made me sure

I am ready to forsake 

this worldly life

And surrender 

to the magnificence 

of your Being

9. A short soulmate poem- Emily Eclogue

A soulmate is a lover first 

and then perhaps a friend

and then at times, maybe a stranger

and or at other times an enemy,

but then again a friend, 

and always there, family,

If not in blood, then in soul, 

always by your side.

10. A soulmate poem for him- Claire Clerihew

I am a lock.

I am bound up hard, a Gordian knot,

A tangled ball of thread, a stomach so tense,

It is ready to tear me apart from the inside out.

You are the key, slipping into me,

Cutting the knot, untangling the thread,

Releasing the butterflies so that I melt,

Into the arms of you, my soulmate, forever true.

11. I will wait forever- Diana J. Briones

The days are cold, the nights are long,

But my love for you stays strong.

I hold you in my heart

and have you on my mind.

I’ll wait for you ; however long,

my love for you is blind.

You are my lover and my friend,

you are my everything.

I shall remain here waiting, 

even if for eternity.

12. Someday my love- Kimberly

Remember the walks

Remember the talks

The promises we made

The choices we came to make

To have you in my life was no mistake

For every tear that falls

Be it as it may

I know I love you and we will be together forever someday

13. “How do I love thee?”- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day’s

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

14. The definition of love – Andrew Marvell

My love is of a birth as rare

As ’tis for object strange and high;

It was begotten by Despair

Upon Impossibility.

Magnanimous Despair alone

Could show me so divine a thing

Where feeble Hope could ne’er have flown,

But vainly flapp’d its tinsel wing.

And yet I quickly might arrive

Where my extended soul is fixt,

But Fate does iron wedges drive,

And always crowds itself betwixt.

For Fate with jealous eye does see

Two perfect loves, nor lets them close;

Their union would her ruin be,

And her tyrannic pow’r depose.

And therefore her decrees of steel

Us as the distant poles have plac’d,

(Though love’s whole world on us doth wheel)

Not by themselves to be embrac’d;

Unless the giddy heaven fall,

And earth some new convulsion tear;

And, us to join, the world should all

Be cramp’d into a planisphere.

As lines, so loves oblique may well

Themselves in every angle greet;

But ours so truly parallel,

Though infinite, can never meet.

Therefore the love which us doth bind,

But Fate so enviously debars,

Is the conjunction of the mind,

And opposition of the stars.

15. The new beginning – Olufunke Kolapo

Like the warmth of the morning sun,

So do thoughts of you embrace me,

Revealing how alive I am

A glorious light of the new day,

so is your presence in my life,

relieving it of its shadows,

and marking the start of a new beginning.

16. Yours – Daniel Hoffman

I am yours as the summer air at evening is

Possessed by the scent of linden blossoms,

As the snowcap gleams with light

Lent it by the brimming moon.

Without you I’d be an unleafed tree

Blasted in a bleakness with no Spring.

Your love is the weather of my being.

What is an island without the sea?

17. For him – Rupi Kaur 

no,

it won’t

be love at

first sight when

we meet it’ll be love

at first remembrance

‘cause i’ve recognized you

in my mother’s eyes when she tells me,

marry the type of man you’d want to raise your son to be like.

18. From my heart – Mrs Creeves

A million stars up in the sky

one shines brighter I can’t deny

A love so precious a love so true

a love that comes from me to you

The angels sing when you are near

within your arms I have nothing to fear

You always know just what to say

just talking to you makes my day

I love you honey with all of my heart

together forever and never to part.

19. To lose thee – Emily Dickinson

To lose thee, sweeter than to gain

All other hearts I knew.

Tis true the drought is destitute

But, then, I had the dew!

The Caspian has its realms of sand,

Its other realm of sea.

Without this sterile perquisite

No Caspian could be.

20. A red, red rose by Robert Burns

O my Luve is like a red, red rose

That’s newly sprung in June;

O my Luve is like the melody

That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,

 And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;

I will love thee still, my dear,

While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!

And fare thee weel awhile!

And I will come again, my luve,

Though it were ten thousand mile.

How to use these poems: 10 tips

Love poems for my husband aren’t just to be read—they’re to be felt, lived, and woven into your shared moments. 

Whether it’s a deep love poem for husband or a short love poem for husband, here are some beautifully creative ways to bring those words to life:

• Hide one under his pillow: After a long day at work, he finds a handwritten poem tucked under his pillow—he smiles, knowing you thought of him even in silence.

•  Tuck a poem inside his travel bag: He opens his suitcase at the hotel and finds your poem folded between his shirts. That simple note eases the distance between you.

• Create a custom bookmark: He opens his favorite book to read before bed, and there it is—your poem, printed on a bookmark, reminding him that love lives in the little things.

• Turn it into a voice memo: He gets a ping on his phone during a busy day and hears your soft voice reading a love poem. His shoulders relax, his heart swells.

• Print it on his birthday cake: At his birthday dinner, he sees a sweet verse from your poem iced on his cake—it’s unexpected, personal, and makes everyone at the table go “aww!

• Craft a “message in a bottle”: He unwraps a tiny bottle on your anniversary. Inside is a curled-up love poem from you—a keepsake he’ll treasure forever.

• Add it to your anniversary calendar: Each year, you add a new poem on your anniversary. By year five, he flips through the pages and realizes he’s holding a little library of your love.

• • Create a DIY “poem of the week” jar: Every Sunday, he pulls a folded note from a jar you made together. One week is playful, and another week is poetic, but always full of heart.
  • Write it on the bathroom mirror: He walks into the bathroom groggy, but your lipstick-written poem on the mirror wakes him up in the sweetest way.

• Make a mini slideshow: You surprise him with a video of shared moments—vacations, smiles, quiet evenings—set to music, with your love poem as the voiceover. His eyes tear up.

Key takeaways

Love poems have a quiet power. They don’t need to be long or perfect—just honest. Whether you’re writing deep love poems for your husband or sharing short ones during quiet moments, each verse becomes a reflection of your heart. 

Poems remind us that love doesn’t always need loud declarations; sometimes, it simply asks to be felt and expressed in the gentlest ways. 

When you take the time to put your feelings into words, you’re not just writing—you’re creating a memory, a keepsake, a soft reminder that he is deeply loved and seen. And that’s something truly beautiful.
