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.

Regret
I really miss you
So much
I’m not sure
When or where or how
to let you know
Because no words
Or place or time
Can encapsulate
This feeling
I NEED you!
I need you
I need YOU
My greatest regret
is not Fighting
for YOU
I don’t think you knew
back when it mattered most
That you are my greatest Love
Please
Come to me
Meet me
Sometime
Somewhere
Someday
(maybe soon?)
If for nothing else,
Might we at least
Talk?

SATIVA
I found her in a gutter—or was it by the road?
A place no puppy should ever call home.
Small and shivering, she stumbled through dust,
a beige bundle of fur, cloaked in ticks and mistrust.
Jesse begged, pleaded, vowed she'd care,
Her voice carried promises, heavy with air.
No leash, no collar, no history to bind—
Just a stray, and a thought: She’s ours to find.
June 17th, she came to stay,
A tiny life, beige as dawn’s first ray.
No bigger than the palm of a grown man’s hand,
Yet she filled a void we didn’t understand.
...

sincere
loneliness emits a certain keen
if you're listening you will hear it
an emptiness that gnaws at the soul
indifferent to my own pain
it sometimes rises with pangs of ache
and I am taken aback
doubled over with pain
my heart's sorrow clearly seen
hidden deep within, I swallow it down
regretful emotion, I don't want you to see me this way
it hurts my pride to know you get to me
salvation in a hugs sometimes that's all it takes
a smile, to keep those uneasy feelings at bay
tender emotion, when I can express...

As it all falls down
I am sorry that you are here
with me
in this moment.
I know you'd rather be with
anyone
else.
And I am sad.
And you are there.
And we are stuck here.
This is an elevator that is falling
and it is falling
and it is falling
and it is falling
and it is falling
and
I am here with you.
I wouldn't want to be with
anyone
else.
And I feel your hand.
And your touch is soft.
And we are here together.
This is...
with me
in this moment.
I know you'd rather be with
anyone
else.
And I am sad.
And you are there.
And we are stuck here.
This is an elevator that is falling
and it is falling
and it is falling
and it is falling

I am here with you.
I wouldn't want to be with

And I feel your hand.
And your touch is soft.
And we are here together.

Impacted Heart
Upper Eastside
New York, New York
The Present 2024
Okay let me see how this story continues on
I have to recommend this book to my Book Club see if they can place it aside, its good enough for me to have been reading it all night long
Let me see here, oh yes, I was right here, she has been having nightmare
The Dragon King and The Bear King trying to find her lair
Oh, this Panther Queen bitch is on a spacecraft about to go down
Running from three dicks, and moving at the speed of sound

the room
the forgotten room was lifeless
in the noon sunlight where only dust motes float
it has seen beautiful days, where laughter bounce off it's walls
and gossip made the wallpaper blush
intimate moments when secrets were shared and tears shed
a sanctuary concealing children in it's cuphoards
during a playful game of hide and seek
the room bonded with the family over births and death
they shared extrordinary moments
when the men landed on the moon
sorrowful days when Elvis died
and frightening moments of despair
after...

I read the word chiseled on that headstone. I have always wondered if that was meant to be the noun “Beloved” or the adjective. Or maybe it was intended to be “Be-Loved.” One or two words, different meanings, different pronunciations, I can never tell.
I kneel on the damp ground on that cold December day, the same day of every year for the past eleven years. The day I lay my wreath and wait.
After sunset she comes on exactly that single day of the year. She kneels next to me holding one single rose in her hand and lays it next...

beautiful
a sigh escapes me and I chase it to where it flee
my dreams float away on a breeze
holding tight to my visions
aware of my short comings
still I have hope
yielding to sorrow, I let it have it's say
broken of heart, I have to rise above it
a woman in the world
I try not to be seen
no notice taken, this frightens me
to have people stare
I drift on the winds, invisible
touch the sky, I dream new dreams
they're are in my grasp
my faith, renewed
my beauty, viewed
with belief it will be okay ...

Baiting The Wind
She came as a cool autumn breeze, blowing about wildly and free.
Her presence touched every inch of me, from my head down to my feet.
She whispered in my ear, faint sounds that I could barely make out.
Other than the words I love you, that, I felt without a doubt.
She easily moved everything around me, from the tallest trees to the smallest blades of grass.
But it all stopped suddenly, so I sit here pondering and I ask,
"Where did my wind go? Why did it have to go by so fast?
I've contemplated plans of capture to perfection, baiting a kite for the next...

Between the husk and the knoll
What is it about me that makes you glimmer?
My essence; my grace?
I confess, I am numb to you
I simmer in your sparkles as if your endeavour were a prism of mindless refraction
Your colours merely smothering my shade
I cannot love you as you want to be loved
I cannot spare any envy to accommodate you
Your outspoken inundation chokes my pen
Strangles my zen
You want my hand— take it
and I will lead you to the meadow
and let you wither between the husk and the knoll
I cannot love you as you want to be loved
I cannot...

Marilyn
pretty litte clown, smiling for you through the tears
you can't see them but my soul is drowning
sorrow persuades me to stay
gentle feeling, I'm in love
little affection, you don't need me
so I play my part
looking good for your dark
tender meaning, I play dumb so you look smart
please see me struggling, just to breathe
feeling abandoned and alone
my voice strangled, I can't say what I feel
you just want me to look good
deeper feeling I feel too much
you think I'm crazy
that I need to be...
