Here's an anniversary love poem describing a long-term relationship that is not only still happy, but keeps getting better and better.
Each Year I Fall In Love Again With You
When I first met you all those years ago,
I fell in love so fast, I knew right then,
You were the one and only one for me;
I'd never have to look for love again.
Each anniversary finds us happier;
You are my light--my moon, my star, my sun.
You show me what real love is all about,
You fill my life with pleasure, joy and fun.
As time goes by, our love grows stronger still.
You're the most amazing (man/woman) I ever knew.
I prize our anniversaries because
Each year I fall in love again with you.

There’s ecstasy and peace in your embrace.
I know that I can cope with what life brings,
As long as I wake up to see your face.
You’re all I ever wanted, and much more.
I look at you and I still get a thrill.
Our marriage is the best thing in my life;
I love you deeply, madly, and I always will.

Anniversary love poems sometimes use metaphors and words that appeal to the five senses. This anniversary love note is like that.
The Lake
The beauty of the lake is always changing,
With the light, the weather and the season.
Yet each change holds a splendor all its own,
Each viewing precious for its own reason.
In sunshine, golden stars dance across the water.
Moonlight shines a beacon in the peaceful night.
The wind causes whitecaps to erupt and roll,
While calm brings assorted reflections of light.
The water has a new costume each day,
Perhaps gray or green, aqua or blue.
Though each view is different, the lake is the lake,
Lovely in its every color, mood and hue.
My thoughts of the lake remind me of you,
My wonderful, loving partner in life.
Through sunny days and stormy times,
We've stayed together as husband and wife.
Your love is my beacon, my star and my light;
All your colors and moods are precious to me.
You make every day an enchanting delight,
And I'll love you for all eternity.
Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
With you at my side, every experience is beautiful!
By Joanna Fuchs
(and Karl)
This anniversary love poem shows strong, solid love that is also passionate. It's also a marriage love poem.
Anniversary Love Sonnet
You’ve always been the one I counted on,
Through joy and sorrow, laughter, and some tears;
You keep me grounded; you’re my steady rock;
You’re there for me through days and months and years.
Your sweet devotion never, ever fails,
No matter what I say or what I do.
Sometimes I wonder what I ever did
To deserve someone as wonderful as you.
I love you with a love I can’t control;
I always want to be right by your side.
I want to touch you, kiss you and much more;
My passion for you cannot be denied.
Together we are satisfied and blessed;
Our marriage is the very, very best.
By Joanna Fuchs
This anniversary love poem, in free verse, says that true love lasts.
So Much Time, So Much Love
So much time has passed, my love,
since we met and married,
so much love each hour, day and minute.
Passion, yes, and also
tender looks, casual caresses, fond words
filling my memories with pleasure forever.
With you, sweetheart, every year,
every anniversary, is the best one yet.
By Joanna Fuchs
I wish every marriage could be as loving as the one this anniversary love poem describes. Karl wrote this for Joanna.
Everything Dear to Me
When I look up and see you, my love,
My whole world is filled with pleasure.
Through all the years we've shared, my love,
You've been my greatest treasure.
The sun shines brighter when you're near;
The air seems fresher too.
Everything that's dear to me,
Seems perfect, because of you.
The years go by, it's anniversary time,
My love for you keeps growing.
The pleasure it brings to be by your side,
Holding hands, makes me feel like I'm glowing.
So my love, on this special day,
Please believe what goes on in my heart.
Know that it's true; I really love you!
And I've loved you this way from the start.
By Karl Fuchs
Anniversary love poems sometimes reveal things about the couple they are written for. This anniversary love message, which is also a marriage love poem, is probably for a couple who has been together quite awhile.
So Many Pleasures
When I was young, I couldn’t think
What it would be like to be older.
How could I know it would bring such joy
Just to cuddle my head on your shoulder.
So many things bring happiness now,
Like a rub on the back or a smile,
And my feelings for you are stronger today
Than they were when you walked down the aisle.
When I was young, my fondest wish
Was a marriage that could be this good.
Where we’d work through pain to laugh again
As loving partners should.
As the days drift by we’re settling in,
To a life that’s rich and rewarding.
Just sharing with you is a dream come true;
You’re a pleasure well worth hoarding!
I’m happy with you; to me you just shine,
And I’m blessed and thankful that you are mine.
By Joanna Fuchs
(and Karl)
Anniversary love poems do not always rhyme. Here's an anniversary love message that is a prose poem (nonrhyming), suitable for a wedding anniversary poem or a marriage poem. Note that you can change the title. If you don't like the phrase, "Dear One," use something you do like.
Dear One
Dear one...that's what you are to me.
Years ago when we met, I fell in love with you.
Nothing has changed;
On every anniversary, I realize
I love you still...more than ever.
When you're not near me, I feel an emptiness
that I can't seem to fill.
When you are near, I feel complete.
I cherish your love and companionship
and always hope to please you.
I always wish for your happiness,
for I love to see the sparkle in your eyes.
I never imagined that someone could be
as important as you are to me.
Please stay near
and love me as I love you.
By Joanna Fuchs
(and Karl)
More anniversary love poems
Anniversary love poems can also be used as marriage love poems. This anniversary love verse can be used that way...
As Time Goes By
We are older now but better by far
Who knows how good it can be
Our love still grows like a plant in the sun
Or a wave rising up from the sea.
We laughed before, but we laugh more now.
Life is more fun so it seems.
Days are sunnier, the moon shines brighter;
Our life is the stuff of dreams.
We shared in the past, but today we share more.
There’s a warmth that keeps growing inside.
We loved when we met; it was powerful then,
Yet now our love’s strong as the tide.
You’re the best, dearest thing to come into my life,
Like an angel from out of the sky.
And I know one thing sure: You’ll be dearer still,
As time goes by.
By Joanna Fuchs
(and Karl)
