What is your favorite love poem?

It doesn't have to be positive or typical or cliche. In fact, I would love recommendations of unusual or unconventional love poetry, and a mix of the optimistic and cynical would be great as well.

BQ: How about your favorite love song? (Again, I'm including angry breakup songs and better-off-without-you songs in this category.)

I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to answer my own question, but my favorite pieces of love-ish poetry include Shakespeare's Sonnet 130, Dorothy Parker's "Prophetic Soul", and A.E. Housman's "The New Mistress". (The last one may be a bit of a stretch.) I think my favorite love song might be Ingrid Michaelson's "The Way I Am," even though it is almost nauseatingly sweet. :P

Thanks for your input! :D

    A song that has nice lyrics :)

    Love them and leave them. Give them the air.

    Hurt and deceive them, say you 'don't care'

    Break their hearts and let them fall like rain on your back stairs

    Then call me up tomorrow, you know I'll still be there

    When the moon disappears forever

    And the sun shines electric blue

    And the mountains and trees tumble into the sea

    To rest there for eternity

    No matter what you do, I will still love you.

    So if all your bridges go up in flames

    And if all your lovers strike you 'too tame'

    Or some sad song of love you hear can make you call my name

    I will be there in a minute, and you know I"ll feel the same

    When the moon disappears forever

    And the sun shines electric blue

    And the mountains and trees tumble into the sea

    To rest there for eternity

    No matter what you do I will still love you

    So the weary traveler, tired of passing through

    Stops to get his bearings and stays on to wait for you

    When the moon disappears forever

    And the sun shines electric blue

    And the mountains and trees tumble into the sea

    To rest there for eternity

    No matter what you do, I will still love you.
