What poems for 19th wedding anniversary?

Have you decided to put your feelings down on paper but you are not an expert with words? Draw inspiration from the most beautiful love poems of our great classics. Check out some ideas:

• We will sleep together. “Whether it’s Sunday or Monday. Evening or morning midnight noon. In hell or heaven. Loves to loves resemble. It was yesterday that I told you. We will sleep together. It was yesterday and it’s tomorrow. I only have you left to go. I put my heart in your hands. With yours as he walks. All he has of human time. We will sleep together. My love, what was will be. The sky is over us like a sheet. I closed my arms around you. And I love you so much that I tremble. As long as you want. We will sleep together“(Louis Aragon)
• Lost at the game. “I cherish my defeat, and my destiny is sweet to me. Beauty, powerful charm of the eyes and ears. And I don’t regret one hour with you. Costs me in your absence and care and vigils. Seeing yourself thus defeated by your rare wonders, It is a convenient misfortune to make a hundred jealous: And the heart only sighs at such losses, Only to kiss the hand which makes such great blows. Receive some of mine, after your victory. What a King could hold to some glory. What the most beautiful eyes have never disdained. I pay you, Iris, a just and prompt tribute. Alas! be content with having earned it from me, Without stealing more from me” (Pierre Corneille)
• Dear angel you are beautiful. ” Dear angel, you are beautiful. To make you dream of love. For a single spark. From your keen eye. The poet for a day. Naive look of a young girl. United front, azure veins. Sweet vanilla breath. Rosy mouth with sparkles. On the ivory, pure laughter. Slender, arched foot, white hand. Silky jet curls. Leaning swan neck. Flexible like the branch. May a fresh wind caress in the evening. You have, on my word. Everything you need to charm. But your soul is so frivolous. But your head is so crazy. That no one dares to love you” (Théophile Gautier)
