Everyone is capable of writing a jaw-droppingly gorgeous poem, so why do most shy away from writing love poems to those special citizen in their lives? They don't know the tricks that the masters use to get emotion evoking works every time.
First you need to cut off yourself from covering distraction and focus on writing. This may be achieved by turning on some gorgeous music or by relocating: going to a park or other quiet area.
Love Poem
You must be able to feel every word and how it relates and sounds with the other words. So it is not a bad convention to read the poem or chronicle it as you are writing it.
As far as feeling every word: you should have already considered a normal theme of the poem before you write (lost love, new love, pain in love, etc.). After you have identified that feeling there are a few steps you can take to draw the poetry out.
1) Read a similar poem by a specialist poet. (They are a specialist if they are able to originate a reaction or feeling when you read it.) Then write your poem based on the same poetic conventions (techniques or form).
2) Watch a entertaining video with a similar theme to the poem that you plan to write about. Then after the feeling evoked by the video is still fresh in your memory. Write your poem.
3) Listen to a love song with a similar theme to the poem that you plan to write about. Photo yourself in the song writer's place. certainly join together with the feeling. You can keep the song on repeat after you have listened to it while you write your poem.
4) Choose a random title or theme that has nothing to do with love and somehow join together the two in the poem.
Examples:
Mustard (title)
Her eyelashes were mustard the day we met
the smell of her perfume so strong that it made me dizzy
I concept the dizziness was me falling for her
The second time we met she wasn't wearing perfume,
She smelled like an old locker room
And had the look of a hooker
Black lashes, black liner, black leather
...that was the end of the story with Sue.
Mustard (theme)
At first she seemed ordinary.
She seemed like a hundred other girls I met,
so I didn't pay her any attention.
But after having her there in our miniature group for so long
I started to miss her when she got her full time job.
Every time we went out, every person could feel something was missing.
After a join of weeks I decided to visit her job.
She lit up like a kid at Christmas,
I chatted about how much fun we were having without her,
She looked down and asked why I'd come.
I said some of the girls were asking for her.
She said she'd see if she could join us on the weekends.
That weekend she came;
I started talking to her more;
she knew...
(What mustard adds to a dish is the basic theme.)
5) Begin with an image in your mind of yourself in a situation that evokes the emotion or theme you plan to write about. It can be a real situation or imagined. Pretend that you are talking to the person reading the poem as you write about the palpate (This is what good romance novelists do.)
Example:
It was dark and cold,
I could still feel his hands all over me,
The wind gushed
Pushing me back to the direction of his apartment.
I didn't want it like this:
Kisses with a stranger, in a strange land,
He probably was a convict, probably had a disease,
It started to drizzle.
I didn't have a car.
He didn't have a car.
He wanted me so bad, cared so much
He didn't even walk me home.
I'm a mile away;
These tracks I've crossed before have never seemed so long.
Why did I feel like there we a thousand eyes seeing at me?
As I climbed the final steps up to my house,
I found my roommates asleep.
Why weren't they worried about me?
Why weren't they seeing for me?
What if I'd never come home?
Sleep welcomes me for now.
