Love Poems
Poetry about lost love, heartbreak and relationship problems
Previously covering both the sides of love, this section now focuses on poems about the dark side of love, heartbreak and the hurt caused by lost love. Happy love poetry now finds a home in the "upbeat poems" section. This category is reserved for love poems about troubled friendships and relationships and it's where poets offload emotional pain inflected by (ex) boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands, family and friends. Which all begs the question, what is love anyway? Maybe you'll find out here.

wake me, shake me
show me the words I can't see
when I can't tell her
but I can't tell him
wake me, shake me
give me the advice I viciously seek
I can't break her
I can't open him
wake me, shake me
carry me through because I might be weak
weak to her love
weak to his skin
wake me, shake me
from this dangerous sleep
before I hurt her
before I touch him

Amongst the flowerbeds
Scents scattered over the floor
Petals, they reach out
From fountains
Of rain
Each drop
Cupped, my hands
In the moonlit stream
Your face reflected in the water
Floor scattered with scents
Amongst the flowerbeds

My love isn't going to save you
I will never make that claim
Eros doesn't move me that boast
I don't expect orbital acuteness
to follow my every breath and step
the ground I walk to garnished with petals
The red that symbolizes the ardor of one moment
isn't diminished after sweet orgasm
but rather fond for even more
Yes flowers will not stay fragrant
wither they will and die
but in your embrace is the sustenance for renewal
as the sun powers the world's life
We shall not cling to each other
as if weeds...

sunday morning,
you choose a
wide brimmed hat
to wear to church
only to lose it
in a scuffle
and slam the doors
on those inside.
you screamed
they sang
you sang for god
they sang in C.
at the beach
you danced
twirled a ribbon
in the air,
people stared
children stared ,
a monument to love,
50 years
and firm breasts,
silk blonde
body hair
in sunlight
in reverence
to the light breeze
between your thighs,
I stole your hairband,
still have it
the purest red
red...

Is there anything left to say, anything to make you stay
Cause I’m standing here and I’ll stand with you
But you’re walking out, away into the night
I’ll tell you what you think I should say, what you think I feel
I’ll tell you what is on my mind but would it change the way
The way you walk away
Instead of stay
I could tell you things, I could tell you anything
Just ask me and I’ll tell you what you already know
And more, I’ll tell you so much more
But winter’s coming and summer’s dead and gone
So can I find a way to make you ask, to make you...

It`s true
I get lost
in my desires
vex over "maybes"
wrestle expectations
there does exist
an underlying
spiritual vibe
of potential
emotional surrender
its not my imagination
yet our reality
is still a mystery
my premature
attempts to solve it
unbalances
our mutuality
and though some
can be intimate
from a distance
so far, in this instance
there's no invitation

Just,” hello, I’m still here”
I inhaled deeply, then exhaled with a sigh
Four words, just those four
Were the sweetest words I ever read
Gone for weeks, so far from home and my heart, hearing static, reading garbled messages of broken words, I stood in the kitchen, my feet in one spot, never moving, staring at the message on my phone, remembering your face, with the small scar above your right eye, eyes of blue, and hair, honeyed, mixed with gray.
I miss that face as I look around the room; everything starts to remind me of you. Your chair at the table, where...

~Oh yea, a form piece- called a couplet~
We connect...
like the Alpha to Omega we connect
like the Sun to blue skies we connect
no need to wonder, no wasted effort to dissect
like travelling alone, coming together we intersect
like two peas in a pod, we connect
like the beat and the heart, we connect
as we wander through our thoughts reflect
you're the 'ringtone' in my bone I project
like the petal to a flower delicate, we connect
like rain falls and showers every hor we connect
take a moment to inhale the...

They dance in a land of dreams
He always takes the lead
They orchestrate the music
He composes a masterpiece
She’s his leading lady
On this special stage
He is her King
Forever and a day

My gypsy-blood
boils,
it rages,
a white-hot glow
sealed my fate
ages ago.
I know that
ancient calling.
Without any sound,
I'll evaporate.
You will
feel me
kiss
your pretty-face
in
the morning-mist,
insisting
I was real
and
still am.

Young,lively and pretty
She lived on the next street
With a dazzling smile like the stars
My soul longed to be with her
The feeling was mutual
So we came up real tight
Never far from each other
Be it day or night
At school,at home,in church
We play,we laugh,we talk
Academics,movies and fairy tales
Playing different characters as we walk
Hand in hand,shoulder to shoulder
Expressing the adolescence in us
Then the plan to make it official
Came up hot and robust
For days I crammed my words
Neck deep in my...

So I ran into you
Seen you and your new wife.
I see that you finally found that “happy life”.
So I ran into you
And every memory came back
The way you used to hold me
Kiss me damn I was attached.
I was attached to your mind
To the way you would articulate
Your point to out shine mine.
I was attached to your heart
It was so big you'll do anything
Not to see someone fall apart.
Yea I was attached and I fell quick
But when I fell, I fell for a little bitch.
No not a man who owns up to what he’s done
But a boy who plays games and...

I had a dream that you took my hand
Unforgettable sights were seen, the company grand
You led me all the way to oceans exploding in the sky
Barely had I time to wonder why
Why you planned to take my heart away
Why you took my hand and led me astray
Of the future neither of us thought
You held me then, but later wanted me not
In love I fell with the heavens you have showed me
Unfortunately I have realized this existence can not be
So, I can not stay here very long
I have already been betrayed by you love song
A song filled with love and trust...

as the ocean we move
calm one day
unruly the next
but i can feel your waves
in sync with mine
together we sway
we coexist
so we shouldn't let
one storm
ruin our flow
our current
we move
unstoppable

I felt your heart at one time
you cuddled mine a time or two
now a goodbye has been said
will it be taken back and forgiven
no, too much hurt has been said
words spoken that should have never been
took friendship for granted
you always felt me as useless
pushed my tender heart to the edge
standing here in the darkness
my head in my hands
not wanting to look where you used to be
or if you might still be there
not wanting to know the strength of me
of having to silently just walk on by

Loving you
Is like smelling the scent of evergreens
Rock solid foundations of liquid dreams
When I'd wrap around you
I'd feel your self-trust
Tip-toeing
Like vaporized atoms of gust
I find you strong and weak
Still so sweet
I’d die for your tongue
Lashing my cheek
I want to plunge into your milky soul
And suck honey ...

You want me and I know you do,
It was told to me
By you, the medal of Atlantis.
A thousand cigarettes and
Fever thoughts have allowed
Me to kill us, then
the war of the ocean escaped your face.
It was all me, my doing,
Your sinking was all on me
And I allowed us to sound legendary,
Lost, no more love,
No more we.
Your place, the one I’d swoon for,
A place with you, an escape,
A little hole in the floor
Surrounded by treed seaweeds,
That’s gone, that’s how it seems,
A comfortable island away
From all my...

Down in the dark
when the day feels to hard
the nights just to long
and there aren't enough stars
sleep just a few hours
drink to much caffeine
slip through the days
like water through sand
think of a letter I never did send
the words I missed saying
when I had the chance
keep walking along
my head in the clouds
much better up here
then down on the ground
down there lies my body
my battered heart too
but up here are my dreams
of a lifetime with you
the roads gave me blisters
the skies gave...

Sleepless, I lay in my bed
Trying to decipher
Why he can't love me
Can't need me as I need him.
It’s confusing, frustrating
I tell myself there is no point
In wasting my energy on this
most aggravating of men.
I try to forget,
But yet I hope
Through another long night,
Sleepless

there is a violence to this work
in tearing the earth
in shaping the land to look like a set of drawings
can see it in the men
that same violence
can feel it in me
the blind rush to create
paid to let nothing stop us
weather
broken gear
whatever the fuck-up
you can bet we’ll be back tomorrow
to do it all again
young bloke comes in my office last night
know he’s been having...
