Marika,
This is part of a larger poem.
A blanket and a basket has potential for some fun.
A secluded place outside the house
where we can be just one.
With lunch and wine the mood is right,
we spend some time alone.
For romance and expressions which
our love we can atone.
-For romance and expressions .....we spend some time alone for romance and expressions
-which....an ungrammatical connecting word (here should be understood to mean 'by which')
-our love we can atone = we can unite our love in harmony
We spend some time alone for romance and expressions by which we can unite our love in harmony.
atone (literally 'at one') = unite in harmony

Unfortunately this sentence is taken out of context. To 'atone' for something means you are responsible for what you do or say. I would think it means that in love what you say or do you are responsible for, so be careful. That's my opinion though and without knowing the rest of the text. ;)
