Lebanese writers have been writing the most beautiful poems for ages, from ones about our beautiful country to ones on social issues and art. As for love, it\u2019s the universal topic that all poets touch on. Here are some of our favorite love poems by Lebanese poets.<\/p>\n
1. Said Akl \u2013 The Palace of my Beloved<\/b><\/p>\n
I will build for you each night
A palace luminous
With whole blocks of emerald
And diamond stones.
Shall it be skyblue as your eyes,
Or green as your wishes:
Be, and the palace too shall be.<\/p>\n
2. Nadia Tueni \u2013 Would You Come Back?<\/b><\/p>\n
Would you come back if I said the earth
Was at the tip of my fingers?
Like a charred branch already cooled?
Birds often die deep in your blond hair
They adopt the sea as a vice.<\/p>\n
3. Ounsi El Hage \u2013 The Messenger with Her Hair<\/b><\/p>\n
You are my gift, O God, add my years to hers
Loved one, you are the other side of creation
Loved one, you are truth
In you is my inspiration and wisdom
In you my rapture
In you ecstasy and shelter
You are the reunion of our two bodies, one body at peace with the elements
I am your head but you the halo around it.<\/p>\n
4. Gibran Khalil Gibran \u2013 A Lover\u2019s Call XXVII<\/b><\/p>\n
I remember when you kissed me and kissed me,\u00a0
With tears coursing your cheeks, and you said,\u00a0
“Earthly bodies must often separate for earthly purpose,\u00a0
And must live apart impelled by worldly intent.”
“But the spirit remains joined safely in the hands of\u00a0
Love, until death arrives and takes joined souls to God.”
\u00a0<\/p>\n
5. Joumana Haddad \u2013 Don\u2019t Let It Linger<\/b><\/p>\n
My mouth will slide from your forehead to your neck
from your neck to that most significant crux.
I will unload my dreams on your shoulders
And you will let me wander.
