This is an eternal topic related to the psychological and spiritual world of man. We invite you to get acquainted with the best love poems of famous Russian and foreign poets.
Akhmatovaâs poems about love
Love inspires not only good deeds, but also creativity. She served as the motive for many creations of Anna Akhmatova. The poetry's best love poems are written with special lyricism and great power. In alarming, confused, bitter Akhmatovsky stanzas, her own appearance is visible. If you build her love masterpieces in a certain order, you get a whole story with various mise-en-scenes, ups and downs, characters, random and nonrandom incidents. What facets and kinks you will not meet on the pages of Akhmatovaâs lyrics: meeting, separation, tenderness, joy, disappointment, jealousy, guilt. They are followed by bitterness, pride, sadness.

Anna Andreyevnaâs love is not so happy. She shows her more tart, tragic, bearing sadness and retribution. The lyrical heroine of the poet's poetry lives a burning, demanding dream of a high feeling, not sophisticated. In the poem "Twenty-first. Night. Monday." Akhmatova questions the existence of such a sincere feeling. This is expressed by the lines: "Some idler composed that there is love on earth." Proud and with dignity, the heroine can be seen in the poem "And you thought I was like that too."
All the best love poems by Anna Akhmatova can be divided into three categories:
- About feelings for a man.
- About heart impulses to a woman.
- The saddest messages and poems to her husband (Gumilyov).
Some lines of the poetess are used by our contemporaries to express their feelings, for example, in the words of the following poem:
Clasped her hands under a dark veil ...
"Why are you pale today?"
-Because I'm tart sorrow
I got him drunk.
How to forget? He came out staggering
His mouth twisted painfully ...
I escaped without touching the railing
I ran after him to the gate.
Choking, I shouted: "Joke
All that has gone before. You leave, I will die. "
Smiled calmly and creepy
And he said to me: "Do not stand in the wind."
The list of love lyrics by Akhmatova is very long:
- "It was stuffy";
- "I stopped smiling";
- "There is a treasured feature in the vicinity of people";
- "I do not ask for your love";
- "Song of the last meeting";
- "I do not know. You are my reward."
In 1911, Anna Andreyevna wrote her brightest poem, "Love." It has many metaphors, images, colors, shapes. The name of the masterpiece itself is very simple and clear. When reading these lines, the first feelings, moments of falling in love are recalled. Here, the poetess's love is compared to a snake, which curls near the heart and does not want to leave.
Love
That snake, curled up in a ball,
He conjures at the very heart
That whole days dove
On the white window coo
That in bright hoarfrost will flash,
It seems to be in a nap of Levkoy ...
But faithfully and secretly leads
From joy and peace.
Able to sob sweetly
In the prayer of a longing violin
And scary to guess her
In an unfamiliar smile.
Evaluating the best poems about love by Akhmatova, you come to the conclusion that she showed the real world of heart experiences. They seem more earthly and simple.
Love in the work of Yesenin
Love experiences occupy a significant place in the treasury of the lyrics of Sergei Yesenin. The best poems about the poetâs love are associated with the joy of meeting, longing for separation, fiery impulses, sadness of doubt, despair. The poet sees a real miracle in love:
Who invented your flexible camp and shoulders - put a mouth to a light secret
Many women loved Sergei Alexandrovich, but his intimate lyrics are sometimes filled with tragedy. In his early cycles âMoscow Kabatskayaâ, âThe Love of a Hooliganâ Yesenin shows a youthful immature attraction with anguished intonations. He compares heart experiences with illness.
I didnât know that love is an infection
I did not know that love is a plague.
In the poetâs works we encounter love-despair, love-delirium, feelings at the level of animal instinct. Having a kind and human soul, the disappointed hero Yesenin apologizes to his beloved:
Honey I'm crying
Sorry SorryâŠ
In some lines, the poet admires the woman, her secrets and beauty, while in others, motives of jealousy are traced. As a result, after searching for high feelings, spiritual closeness, his lyrical hero finds only passion. Such a feeling only devastates a person. Esenin himself considered "Persian motifs" to be the best love poem. This is a kind of lyrical and philosophical reflection, distinguished by special musicality. No wonder some of them are put to music. Eseninâs most striking love poems are considered the message âYou are my Shagan, Shagan!â Dedicated to a young teacher with that name.
Because I'm from the north, or something,
I am ready to tell you the field,
About wavy rye under the moon.
Yesenin himself fell in love many times, burned out, although he lived a short life. His last love poems are already tragic. His indiscriminate feelings in youth are punished by the inability to love in adulthood. Eseninsky lyric hero at first admired tender passion, and then considered harmonious relations between people impossible. Here is a very small list of Yeseninâs poems about love:
- "You do not love me, you do not regret";
- âI remember, my love, I rememberâ;
- "Well, kiss me, kiss";
- "I laid to your bed";
- "Letter to the woman";
- "Honey, weâll sit next to you";
- "Cute hands - a pair of swans";
- "Stupid heart, don't beat."
The best lines of Tsvetaeva about love
The lyrics of Marina Tsvetaeva are extremely sincere and mainly devoted to love. The poetess is ready to scream about her to the whole world. This witchcraft and captivating feeling is a mystery to her. Most of all, Marina Ivanovna appreciates the tenderness in him.
Where does such tenderness come from?
Not the first - these curls
Smooth and lips
I knew it was darker than yours.
Stars went up and went out
(Where does such tenderness come from?)
The eyes went up and went out
At my very eyes ...
The lyrical heroine Tsvetaeva is inherent in spiritual impulses maximalism. Therefore, suffering appears in the lyrics. The romantic heroine builds a pedestal for her lover, does not see any shortcomings in him. Such views lead to disappointment. She already compares love with her stepmother, from whom do not expect anything good.
The emotional impulses in the poetryâs verses are real or imagined. She ascribes ideal traits to her love for Osip Mendelstam. Her lines are very passionate and deeply tragic.
Tender and heartfelt romance was the work of Marina Ivanovna "I like that you are not ill with me ..." It gained special popularity after the appearance in the film "Irony of Fate or with a Light Steam" by Eldar Ryazanov.
I like that you are not sick with me,
I like that I'm not sick with you
What ever is a heavy globe
Do not sail away under our feet.
I like being funny
-Dissolved - and not play with words,
And don't blush with a suffocating wave
Lightly touching the sleeves.
I also like that you are with me
Embrace the other calmly
Don't read me in hellfire
Burn for not kissing you.
That my tender name, my gentle, is not
Mention neither day nor night - in vain ...
That never in church silence
They will not sing over us: hallelujah!
Thank you both with heart and hand
For the fact that you are not knowing yourself!
-So love: for my night's rest,
For the rarity of meetings with sunset hours,
For our non-walks under the moon
Over the sun, not over our heads
- Because you are sick - alas! - not me
Because I'm sick - alas! - not by you!
The romance was very sensually performed by Alla Pugacheva. This work is saturated with Tsvetaevaâs feelings and feelings for a person with whom she was not destined to be together. The heroine of this romance is gentle and simple, reverent and persistent, knows how to love, forgive and understand. She knows that she has no prospects for the reunion of souls with her beloved. And here is a small list of the poetess's masterpieces about love experiences:
- "You and I are only two echoes";
- "Next";
- "Besides love";
- "Love! Love! And in convulsions, and in a tomb";
- "An attempt at jealousy";
- "You are a stranger to me and not a stranger."

The poem begins with the depiction of vulgar life with drunkenness, boredom, and dirt. All this is contrasted with a beautiful image of a stranger.
Walking slowly between the drunk,
Always without satellites, alone,
Breathing in perfumes and mists
She sits by the window.
Unfortunately, the poem ends pessimistically, because among such vulgarity there is no place for mystery, incomprehensibility and exaltation.

Prosperity and success?
