Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda

– The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
– Shakespeare’s Sonnets
Those are the two best I’ve come across (so far). You can’t go wrong with either of them. They’re very different in style, however (which is why I included both), so I’d suggest checking out some samples of each, then choosing the one that reaches out to you, more.
I strongly recommend reading both, though, as (personal preferences aside) they include some of the best poetry ever published.
