A Love Poem What does it take to be a poet? Does poetry come from the heart? Is poetry a glimpse into one’s inner-most thoughts? Have you cuddled up next to your partner right before bed and read them your favorite poem? Can you recall the last time you wrote or read a poem about love?

As I watched upcoming singer, Charice Pempengco sing “A Note to God” on Oprah, I learned how powerful and uplifting the words are. It was like poetry. This moment inspired me to share one of my favorite love poems from one of my favorite books, “Sacred Poems and Prayers of Love,” by Mary Ford-Grabowsky.

A book like this makes for the perfect gift for that special someone. Let’s just say it’s another gift idea from the treasure chest of someone who believes in love.

The poem is entitled, “My Beautiful Love as Yet Unknown.” This is a romantic poem about finding love, one that could add a little something special to a romantic evening. If this one doesn’t resonate with you, find a love poem that does and then cuddle up to your partner, in a candle-lit room, with a glass of wine, before bed. If this doesn’t sweep him or her off their feet, you’re on your own.

My beautiful love as yet unknown
you are living and breathing
somewhere far away or perhaps quite close to me,
but I still know nothing
of the threads that form the fabric of your life
or the pattern, which makes your face distinctive.

My beautiful love as yet unknown,
I would like you to think of me tonight
as I am thinking of you—
not in a golden dream that is far from my real self,
but as I really am, a living person
that cannot be invented without distorting the truth.

My beautiful love as yet unknown,
I love you already although your face is hidden.
If I can make myself richer now
I shall be able to enrich you
And I want to learn how to give
rather than always take.
When you enter my life and I recognize you,
I do not want to take you like a thief.
I want to receive you like a treasure
and let you give yourself to me.

My beautiful love as yet unknown,
will you forgive me in the future?
I hope you will forgive me
when you are curled up beside me
and when your eyes seek out the most distant clouds
in the open sky of my eyes.
I hope you will forgive me;
for knowing too well the gestures of love
because I have learned them from others before you.
I would like to forget them now for your sake!
How lovely it would be if we could seek and find together
the chords that would form the right accompaniment
to the songs of joy and suffering that we shall sing together!

My beautiful love yet unknown,
I want to pray for you tonight
because you already exist
because I already want to be faithful to you
and because you are already having difficulties
and possibly because of me.
I am preparing myself for you
and you are preparing yourself for me….

My beautiful love yet unknown,
we have to wait for one another now.
We know how painful it is for lovers
Who do not know each other’s faces
to go on waiting for each other!
But we also know that, although we are still apart,
our two lives are looking and calling for each other.And I am also sure that, in the darkness of our longing,
God’s longing and his Light are present….

-Michel Quoist; France, twentieth century

That's all we have to say on the subject
