Carol Ann Duffy, the Poet Laureate, reveals her favourite love poems - Sappho, Keats, Neruda, Donne. Here's one from Pablo Neruda:
Even now
If my girl with lotus eyes came
to me again
Weary with the dear weight of
young love,
Again I would give her to
these starved twins of arms
And from her mouth drink
down the heavy wine,
As a reeling pirate bee in
fluttered ease
Steals up the honey from the
nenuphar.
