You are now in the place where we share poems of well-known poets, often from the list “Best Poems” and “Best Poets”. Poems are presented in the most popular topic categories. Due to copyright we only present the poems of those poets who passed away some time ago and therefore, you will not find poems of contemporary poets here. We invite you to familiarise yourself with the poems available here and we hope you will enjoy reading. The poems found here you can easily add to the free ecards from our site, and then send ecards to friends. Love poems are particularly great for that. Beautiful poetry added to an ecard can be a lovely surprise for the addressee. Except reading ready poems, you can add your own, original poems here. You only need to sign up for a free User Account. Certainly we all greatly enjoy beautiful poetry and reading poems is a very pleasant past time.

The Desire Of The Heart



Heart, is there anything to desire?
Feet, is there anywhere to go?
A way for the feet, where the winds blow
The dust: from the heart, and a way for the heart
Where the kindness of love shall never tire,
Nor the feet be tired with the length of the way?
Shall the heart Stay and the feet stay,
And the voice of the wind crying: Depart?

O my heart, O my feet, rest, be at rest!
They are tired, they are tired of wandering.
O my heart, O my feet, is there anything
Worth the desire out of all that is?
Wandering ones, quiet is best
Cover the thoughts and the voices deep
And let me bind my feet with a sleep.
And blind my heart with a sleepy kiss!
