Love Poems
POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
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.

Hold the Light
I see it in your eyes, that quiet storm,
The way the shadows twist, the way they form.
You wear the weight like I’ve worn mine,
A burden carved in every line.
And though I’m lost, I can’t look away—
I want to pull you from the gray.
Even in this hollow place,
You’re the only thing that feels like grace.
You mean more than you’ll ever know,
In a world so cold, you’re the only glow.
Though I’m drowning, I’ll find a way
To keep you safe from the dark decay.
I don’t care if it pulls me through—
I’ll hold the light, if it...
The way the shadows twist, the way they form.
You wear the weight like I’ve worn mine,
A burden carved in every line.
And though I’m lost, I can’t look away—
I want to pull you from the gray.
Even in this hollow place,
You’re the only thing that feels like grace.
You mean more than you’ll ever know,
In a world so cold, you’re the only glow.
Though I’m drowning, I’ll find a way
To keep you safe from the dark decay.

One
tumblimg through eternity I look through time
assailents of friction rise and fall
sinister attention stirs, my head whips around
eyes glare into the void
designated misfortune, fated disorder
lends to the chaos in the cosmos
destructive forces spin
the wind pushes with it's brutality
heaven breathes fire
and the ground quakes
hailstorm it leaves me shaken
the elements mix
and life sprouts
needed growth happens
hearts and souls expand
political giants are brought down

Third Eye
Closing my eyes so I can feel your presence
Unseeing…
So I can focus on your inner beauty
Removing the distraction of your
Outer excellence
Is
Allowing me to
Exist in your existence
My heart sees
What my eyes won’t allow me to see beyond
I need to appreciate your beauty
In all forms
Not just physically
I
Struggle to disassociate
Love from Lust
Passion from Poetry
Desire from Desirable
If I was blind
I could read your...

Naked Emotion
As I lay here naked on the foor, I think back to what we were. We were fun, we were free, we couldn't keep our hands to ourself.
Now I am broken by your tongue. Your words stab deeper than seraded blades. I just wanted to please you. What we had was great. Now it's gone. I am the fool I know. I gave you all that was me. You consumed.
I have no more to give. Your greedy paws your greedy jaws...you put me on a pedistool..only to point at my flaws. Im shamed, broken and alone. I was just a game, a passtime, a plaything. You made me a mockery. Now here I lay in puddled...

Love Enhancements
Love enchantments whispering on your vibrational waves, and succulent words,and your poetic pulsating flow, has me mentally erect from your seductive love enhancements.
I am spiritually penetrating, your love encampment. Lost inside of your echoing bliss and eclectic kiss, makes my simmering thoughts run rampant.
Your lustful intrusions are glistening wet mind infusions, my throbbing mental appendage is slipping inside of your saturated love conclusions.
The reality of your lush fauna, overtaking wandering illusions. I am traveling every inch of your...

Loney Echo
Shadow of a farewell silhouette
fading to a lonely echo
lingering near
of pale memories, exhaling
with a final goodbye
leaving only a ghostly tear
in the hush of twilight
haunting soft and deep
of a moon shaded down
of the love we know
a story half told
embracing a final sigh
with a silent plea
and a pill of amnesia
fading to a lonely echo
fading to a lonely echo
lingering near
of pale memories, exhaling
with a final goodbye
leaving only a ghostly tear
in the hush of twilight
haunting soft and deep
of a moon shaded down
of the love we know
a story half told
embracing a final sigh
with a silent plea
and a pill of amnesia
fading to a lonely echo

Echos from the past
Through this life, we all will meet someone who seems to have a good heart and spiritual aura, about themselves that will draw them into your life and world. 🌎 THAT will affect you in ways that we may never truly understand. 🤔 YET that is what makes you feel that you know them, 🤨 but do you really know them as you think you do. BUT yet you have a connection that touches your thoughts and insight and heart, ❤️ to let your guard down and to see where it takes you whether near or far away from the negativity, that makes no sense at all till we begin to...

"Skating On Porcelain"
Skating On Porcelain”
Sometimes I like the way
the carpeting feels on bare feet.
Other times I walk barefoot in the parking lot
not caring if I get cut.
Outside, at night, the moon has a ring
and the constellations fight for ultimate supremacy.
To the right, a flickering light,
most likely a candle.
The flame dancing around.
It makes me think of you.
My flame.
Now I skate on porcelain anymore with you
looking down on me.
You and that delicious smile.
I circle 'round and 'round and...

Symmetry
She is symmetry
Tantalising, teasing
Figures declare
Velocity increasing
Where to begin?
Loaded, needing
Deep within
Exploded, searing

Howdy
your guitar smile carry a twang about it
a country laid back style
and I love the backwoods life
days in the sunshine
blue jean days with a rugged man to talk to
your corrupted thoughts don't disturb my blue
it just adds an edge
driving fast down the open road
listening to Allman brothers
Midnight Rider
kicking back some whiskey later on
by the bonfire with some good folks
playing pool and having a great time
It's a family tradtion Hank Williams Jr.
good ole boys you can count on ...

The Kiss
Rodin's sculpture in marble.
One of the three.
One I've seen the most of.
It's called the Lewis one.
First shown in Lewis 1914.
Puritanical protests.
To It's erotic nature.
I too was influenced.
By Rodin's.... the Kiss.
Part of my sex education.
Get a firm grip.
An arm round my neck.
Go in for a full on snog.
Gotta say it worked for me.
But they where naked.
Never got that far.
As a starter...
It was clothed for me.
Rodin's the Kiss.
Turns out to be not quite. ...
