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.
Alienation
stimulating the atmosphere you think yourselves classy
cruelty so you can eat off my plate
create your own, let's see it
do what you do but keep my name out of it
aggression against my person will be reported
while files are gathered ring, ring it's for you
with all your spying using technology
you stepped into the trap you set for me
I have the cloud to testify against you
so take your best shot
alienation, alien-nation of affection
you have hurt my heart beyond repair
I will never love any of you again

Truce Father
pent-up pain no need to explain...
with a scalpel's precision,
you make the incision to an affected infliction
causing me to bleed eternally, internally
external scorn adds insult to injury
looking through clouds it is no mystery
confounded glory...never
Father, why did you have to wake me from my slumber?
If your Goddess, My Mother would have been an attentive wife
you never would have taken another to your bed chambers
I treat you with reverence
she requested my exile
petty thief of the soul

Abstraction
I was so distracted by the tremor of your skin
my fingers sipping goosebumps
distracted
distracted
distracted from the cries of war
from the silence of hunger
of the breeze that whispers deadly plagues
Distracted like the seagulls high in the masts
distracted from the insects that go against the street lamps
simply distracted by the microscopy of your skin
distracted

distracted from the morning murmurs
of children in the afternoon
and the creatures of the night
my fingers distracted...

A Butterfly Kiss
Such are the whims of the night birds calling
hear them sing as the darkness in falling
homage to the souls with mournful ado
guides of the forest we all must walk through
Silently slipping we drift into night
swirling in circles we dance with delight
shadows from moonlight arising on high
cast in the brightness caressing the sky
Swift is the season that calls us all home
rest in the garden no longer alone
puzzled by pieces still just out of place
somehow a smile is still found on your face
Step in the warmth of a...

love...romance...
In the glow of silver stars,
in the embrace of soft clouds,
our secrets are revealed
in the lap of soft petals,
we share a long kiss
and the roads turn pink
with embarrassment
as they stare at us
our bodies,
wrapped and dangling in
gauzy threads,
and the flesh melting
in our warm emotions
lips entangled in
crazy conversations
in the half light of the moon
my eyes are closed n
your nose is buried
in the folds of my flesh
our genitals dancing
and entwined
in the meadow ...

Becoming
Like falling snow on the river
sounds of silence
echoing
moon shining
a perfection for my beloved
the remnants of her presence
never escape for what I have become

Hurt People f**k Hurt People
I read that line
In a brilliantly crafted poem
Of love, loss and desolation
And realized
I have exhausted all hopes
Of ever understanding
How I’m going to fix
What will forever remain broken
Because I’m soul tied to you

Though long lost
yet forever held
Written on my heart
Etched upon my skin
Memory canyons ever in my mind
Though long lost
Always close
My Love
Written on my heart
Etched upon my skin
Memory canyons ever in my mind
Though long lost
Always close
My Love

Interested
cultural understanding, masturbating through the pain
starstruck nah
I'm a contender, a warrioress
subtle inflections tell me what I want to know
with a gentle seduction
a genie with honesty blooming
a honey, golden flavorful, sorrow
taste of my kindness
then understand my cruelty
I've just come into an understanding
don't expect too much from me
I'm reading and listening to the weather
whether or not you believe me
I lick the sky and taste it, it's salty
just like me
my Father of the Onyx...

Last Shell
this is my last poem in DUP}
I’ve come to know
This world is ending
And in it I only have you
From trusted sources, I know
This world is going to end
And I’m happy I have only you.
The world is ending now
As I write this last piece
Youth is dead
Youth has been dead for a while
Please flow out
Please do, the helpless river cries
Or is it the wretched canal?
My memory is clogged
Oh please oh please
Don’t get stuck
In plastic
For
I only have you.
I...

Mm.. He’s My…
The melody of my tender muse
A feeling from a mental command to daily use
A very good tool for an author such as me
In the form of a hirsute chest wall, dark eyes, and a body as strong as the mighty sea
I can’t think straight I pull back my covers
His handsome manly body hovers
He takes my body to the revelation of the fifth wonder
Elated, sedated, which my mental muse has officially created
That inner peace to tame the mind, soft whispers in him I seek
A soul who feeds my mind with divine incantations
The might of his bare wall,...
