8 LOVE POEMS BY RUPI KAUR FOR YOUR ELOPEMENT VOWS


POEMS BY RUPI KAUR FOR YOUR ELOPEMENT VOWS

Rupi Kaur is a celebrated and gifted poet. If you are here and about to read these beautiful heartfelt poems then it means that you already know her to some extent and I will save you the time of memorising her amazing list of accolades. These 8 exquisite poems have been picked from her first book and bestseller Milk & Honey that sold millions of copies and is been translated in over 42 languages. Out of all the startling feelings & emotions she expresses through her mesmerising writing, I have picked “LOVE“, as it serenely brings a magical feeling of oneness with all of humanity and life.

1.

i need someone

who knows struggle

as well as i do

someone

willing to hold my feet in their lap

on days it is too difficult to stand

the type of person who gives

exactly what i need

before i even know i need it

the type of lover who hears me

even when i do not speak

is the type of understanding

i demand


2.

it’s your voice

that undresses me


3.

how do you turn

a forest fire like me

so soft i turn into

running water


4.

i do not want to have you

to fill the empty parts of me

i want to be full on my own

i want to be so complete

i could light a whole city

and then

i want to have you

cause the two of us combined

could set it on fire


5.

i am ready for you

i have always been ready for you


6.

he placed his hands

on my mind

before reaching

for my waist

my hips

my lips

he didn’t call me

beautiful first

he called me

exquisite


7.

my favourite thing about you is your smell

you smell like

earth

herbs

gardens

a little more

human than the rest of us


8.

i know i

should crumble

for better reasons

but have you seen

that boy he brings

the sun to its

knees every

night
