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.

Ranged Emotionally with a Foolish Heart
The Winter's frost folds the blooms of flowers
no offering of enticing smell
the return to magnificent lies dormant underground
So too does my inclination to sequester you in affection and devotion
unguarded by the parameters that dent many a relationship
Intangibles codify the positive regard I have for you
my queen if only in my secret world
and a small degree of remorse in
Personification of erotic engagement
Insecurity in the flow of us
A selfishness in pointing to more
Over confidence in...
no offering of enticing smell
the return to magnificent lies dormant underground
So too does my inclination to sequester you in affection and devotion
unguarded by the parameters that dent many a relationship
Intangibles codify the positive regard I have for you
my queen if only in my secret world
and a small degree of remorse in
Personification of erotic engagement
Insecurity in the flow of us
A selfishness in pointing to more
Over confidence in...

Unity
Between only two
Secretly bound together
by adventurous events
Fated beginnings, growing
roots & binding souls
Yet the seas;
At times would feel, if the very
Gods that put us together in
happy discovery, now against
in disagreement
But we held dear to a paper thin
belief about love
We never let go
Between only two
we found happy harmony
stronger in our thoughts
on a loving unity

Once Upon A Heart-Ache.
Our fairy-tales haven't quite been like the rest.
But you've always been cast my make-shift king.
With a tongue coated in pure gold; I loved it when you'd lie to me.
Tell me all your riches were mine alone, for the taking.
When did your perfectly penned paragraphs stop bleeding my story?
Right around the time you buried my kingdom; deep between the thighs of peasants.
They were all true Princess's in need of saving...
But you forgot, I'm the fucking Queen.
I promise I'll go easy on them; won't tell them your darkest secrets, if you keep...
But you've always been cast my make-shift king.
With a tongue coated in pure gold; I loved it when you'd lie to me.
Tell me all your riches were mine alone, for the taking.
When did your perfectly penned paragraphs stop bleeding my story?
Right around the time you buried my kingdom; deep between the thighs of peasants.
They were all true Princess's in need of saving...
But you forgot, I'm the fucking Queen.
I promise I'll go easy on them; won't tell them your darkest secrets, if you keep...

Brown-haired boy
because you were good at math and
sharp with your tongue you were
cruel with your words
I was soft with my
language
my body fuck you
that softness matters
sometimes it matters in the middle of the
night when you are waking up from
sweat dreams about your
late-schizophrenic-mother and I’m crazy?
I hate that gory shit change the fucking
channel blood and guts your sex appeal
splattered on a 12 year old mattress
verbal communication isn’t natural for you
that’s a violent insult in...
sharp with your tongue you were
cruel with your words
I was soft with my
language
my body fuck you
that softness matters
sometimes it matters in the middle of the
night when you are waking up from
sweat dreams about your
late-schizophrenic-mother and I’m crazy?
I hate that gory shit change the fucking
channel blood and guts your sex appeal
splattered on a 12 year old mattress
verbal communication isn’t natural for you
that’s a violent insult in...

Blessings of purification
Winter gave her breath
to sapphired dusk
I awoke
in
our last conversation
Your voice beckons
like a gesturing
hand
She spheres
towards me
Old crone moon
wearing a
silver gown
I remember
apple peelings
my sister
and I
throwing
these over
our shoulder
Trying to decipher
initials of lovers
"I see a C, a J "
We burn notes
and watch the soot
crumble
When eclipsed
we face night
spinning...

No one
No one compares
It would be a no thanks, even I were to
bump thoughts on another
I don't
I'm comfortable with the don't
It's not even a thought for looking.
Because, no one compares still, when
my thoughts sit cosy warm with yours.

Love Senryu 7.1
(i) Passing
it's suicide and death
that is Love's earthly shadow
one leads to other
(ii) Bridges
you burn your bridges
don't let the evil of love
seep or leak inside
(iii) Collection
The grim reaper's new
Job: Collecting all the dead
victims of Lovers
(iv) Fool
If you don't love me
do not play me for a fool
honesty beats lies
(v) Lost
Loving you was dumb
Love made me lose my mind
I've still not found it
(vi) Convenience

a woman's glory
walk with me down the path of a woman
it is well worn by her sisters before her
gatherers and healers they are sacred
a woman's wisdom is her glory
she is a nurturer of truth
gathering strength from nature
it blesses her beauty, knows her kindness
the great redwoods shelter and provide her comfort
deeply rooted in the Earth
they aren't washed away with the first storm
true to themselves they remain till springtime
when the first green shoots poke through the soil
revealing new growth and renewal
...

Robby
blonde, petite, happy
all of those things
wholly me
one who ran with your hand
intertwined, together
one soul taking flight
you saw me
completely free
ocean beyond
captivating
dare I say, enchanting
heart was thumping
as the waves crashed relentlessly
on jagged rocks
over my naked body
washing it all
in a quick, little blink
and it pulled you away
while I stood in the sands
what have I done?
what am I watching?
we were a pair to be chased
we were woven...

Still in love
The feelings are there
They haven't faded away
The journey hasn't ended
Still in love
Truth of it is in my heart
Its lonely echoing beat
Pretending don't change the circumstances

Am I the fool
Wishing for the past
My door is still open

Every breath whispers it
Every heartbeat cries it
Every thought wishes it

Healing Vibes
And what if
I say
I know you
Without knowing you
Since ancient time
And what if
I say
I see more than just
You let
Through calming vibes
And what if
I believe
You are one of
The kind
Peace of mind
And what if
I say
What you mean to me
Beside the dreams
And the reality
And what if
There is more to say
Sincerely
Being a dreamer
When you are a dream
I say
I know you
Without knowing you
Since ancient time
And what if
I say
I see more than just
You let
Through calming vibes
And what if
I believe
You are one of
The kind
Peace of mind
And what if
I say
What you mean to me
Beside the dreams
And the reality
And what if
There is more to say
Sincerely
Being a dreamer
When you are a dream
