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.

Peregrinate
At the edge
You beckoned me
sweetly hugging
in my dreams
& I’m
total surrender
completely remember
my ebony
At our ledge
You cared for me
gently bending
our knees
swinging our limbs
into the breeze
my ebony
At my edge
You beckoned me
gently lovingly
holding me
& I’m
total surrender
always remember
my ebony
Nearly awake
You’re still with me
from afar
close-by in my sleep
mutual love grows
my ebony rose ...
You beckoned me
sweetly hugging
in my dreams
& I’m
total surrender
completely remember
my ebony
At our ledge
You cared for me
gently bending
our knees
swinging our limbs
into the breeze
my ebony
At my edge
You beckoned me
gently lovingly
holding me
& I’m
total surrender
always remember
my ebony
Nearly awake
You’re still with me
from afar
close-by in my sleep
mutual love grows
my ebony rose ...

Where This Road May End
Do you ever want to get married?
Find someone to scorn until death
Someone to
Pick apart whenever one of us is late
Someone to ride with when a long drive seems the best answer
And fall asleep in the lazy afternoons we don't have to work
We'll get sentimental on random days
We'll fight and scream and tell our dreams
Like their some sweet fiction well written
As if life is a movie with a happy ending
Buy cheap cigarettes and off-brand soft drinks
Provisionally enclined to poke fun at each others hair
We...
Find someone to scorn until death

Pick apart whenever one of us is late
Someone to ride with when a long drive seems the best answer
And fall asleep in the lazy afternoons we don't have to work
We'll get sentimental on random days

Like their some sweet fiction well written
As if life is a movie with a happy ending

Provisionally enclined to poke fun at each others hair

The Color Blue
When I fall out of love with my soul mate
Put me six feet under, somewhere hard to locate
For, we were only sixteen, when we both said, I do
From that day forward, I felt that I knew
But the days became months, then a few years
Boredom required a change, but that ended in tears
Turn me into the color blue
But don’t leave them a clue
Find yourself another friend
Maybe it won’t end
Treat them so well
I’ll see you in hell
Married for love, released a white peace dove
Harmony and joy, never ever to be...
Put me six feet under, somewhere hard to locate
For, we were only sixteen, when we both said, I do
From that day forward, I felt that I knew
But the days became months, then a few years
Boredom required a change, but that ended in tears
Turn me into the color blue
But don’t leave them a clue
Find yourself another friend
Maybe it won’t end
Treat them so well
I’ll see you in hell
Married for love, released a white peace dove
Harmony and joy, never ever to be...

Pebbling Pilgrimage

Washing in batik skies
Tidal belly scrapes over shingle
Cobalt swimmings turn blue
Shades of arc(h)ed existence.
Fluting along whale motorway,
Crashing roll, strangled berceuse,
Collapsing lungs of caved yearnings
Since all hearts were soaked in daesin oil.
From the beginning forebears
were diving for pearls.

Collecting pebbles in bistre bucket;
Moving crab-like, soft sho(r)e shuffle,
The beads chime as Shakti bracelets
Swinging from...

Lack of tender loving care
My love is like yesterday's rose bloom
That shed it's petals over
With abundance of passion felt
Has my ripeness lost it's savor?
Your lack of tender loving care
Tending to me
Has left me wilting over
In anticipation
Of your loving cultivation
Tend to me...
That shed it's petals over
With abundance of passion felt
Has my ripeness lost it's savor?
Your lack of tender loving care
Tending to me
Has left me wilting over
In anticipation
Of your loving cultivation
Tend to me...

An Autumn Eve
I wonder how the warmth of your laughter sounds
On the cool of an autumn eve
And if your eyes would shine with a brighter light
Than the moon and stars conceive
And what would your eyes say looking into mine
As the wind rustled through the leaves
And we talked and joked of little things
Such as love's soft magic weaves
I can picture you in an old sweatshirt and faded jeans on an Autumn eve. You, your body lying next to mine with your head on my chest on an old deck chair on the porch. Watching you in the moonlight and shadows as the clouds...
On the cool of an autumn eve
And if your eyes would shine with a brighter light
Than the moon and stars conceive
And what would your eyes say looking into mine
As the wind rustled through the leaves
And we talked and joked of little things
Such as love's soft magic weaves
I can picture you in an old sweatshirt and faded jeans on an Autumn eve. You, your body lying next to mine with your head on my chest on an old deck chair on the porch. Watching you in the moonlight and shadows as the clouds...

Coming Undone
There is a pure kind of beauty in the shining sun,
The kind of beauty that allows these feelings to come undone,
I could cry in the rain
Show the whole world this pain
Alternatively I can lie under the glistening rays
Keep all that hurts me at bay
In the sun no one thinks to check twice
My poor heart surely pays the price
Although my lips will never tell
Isn’t it sad that no one knows me that well?
I wonder if his heart breaks when he hears my name
Or does his conscience cry out in guilt and shame?
Does the music have him think...

Boundlessly Beautiful
If beauty truly be in
the eye of the beholder,
let mine eyes truly behold
you (and yours) forever over:
while being helplessly succumb
to try, in breathless pause
'from whence
could such beauty permit
less a boundless cause?'
From mine eye simply
nothing else can compare:
you are just ever-more-so
boundlessly beautiful.

Time
If I could travel through time
I would go from time to time
Just to see you be kind
To remember when you were mine
I would not change a single thing
Long ago it was decided I wouldn't be king
Wouldn't change with a diamond ring
Nor would it if I wrote a song to sing
If I could go back I would sit from afar
To see you and I wrapped up in my car
If I could go back I would take a picture
And cherish it always like I have cherished liquor
I would go from time to time
Just to see you be kind
To remember when you were mine
I would not change a single thing
Long ago it was decided I wouldn't be king
Wouldn't change with a diamond ring
Nor would it if I wrote a song to sing
If I could go back I would sit from afar
To see you and I wrapped up in my car
If I could go back I would take a picture
And cherish it always like I have cherished liquor

The Death of Longing
I run to him.
Pulling shield from hand,
it clatters to ground.
A cacophony of dissolution.
‘I have loved you since the beginning of what we call time.
Longed for you in unfathomable renditions.
Across and through infinite spaces.
Come home to me.
Be still with me. Until the finite too dissolves.
Until the ‘we’ dissipates into the beat of all that is.‘
In silence,
I chase no more.
I cease disarmament.
I sit.
I listen.
I love.
R.
