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.

The monk who fell in love
East Monastery
Young monk in meditation
Transendence he seeks.
Downtown Seattle
City girl needs adventure bliss
East City seems perfect.
Blue lined skies,white clouds
Brilliant weather to go places
Long trip accomplished.
Tour guide to temple
Ancient architecture unique
So fascinating
Eyes lock, connection.
Soul travel, quicker than light
True love birthed.
The owls chorus loud
The stars shine with fiery awe
Neither of them can sleep
Three more temple trips

Do you
Do you need room to breath
Have you been suffering
Am I to much to take in
Has my mind been beaten
Destroyed to the point it bends
Or Brakes without pain
So use to staying quite
I don’t think the same
How have I changed
No wonder you smell Kool-aid in my veins
I have allowed too much to take place
How can I stand in front of you and claim
A man lives in this skin
All I have done was compromise him
Sacrifice his pride to build a relationship
Or just a person who is with me
Has been built off the pain of losing me ...

Crazy Thoughts
I have thoughts I am scared to write
If I put them down will that bring them to light
Do you need space to end the fight
Find your missing piece that might
Fill in the space that cries at night
You speak on a time you missed
A solo experience
Without the stress of marriage
Is that what you wish
To figure out that time period
Maybe it’s for the best
Maybe I forced you into this
Why stay if pain is all you have left
You don’t have to do this
You can choose to try something else
Let me be alone to be ...

Glass
Our eyes have been confessional
Our ears, a diary
Heart and hands
Evoked floods, succumbing to
Needs devout and fluidly
Dress your altar
In streams
Of praise and pleas
Baptized by sweat, lips
Sheets soaked by our inner churning seas
Vulgar souls shaped at the fires that
Fordge destiny
Shattered lay the the barriers
That held the force of
My faith in freedom back
Repeatedly in realms beyond
3D we bask
Yours, long before
"you belong to me"
We servants of sense and sound
Dance
Energy...

Beautiful Heartfelt Listening
Your eyes are my eyes,
they end each sentence watery.
Our glasses are both empty,
each breath returns a memory.
Nature is my godhead,
hugs me on long walks.
Each leaf passed down
came from creation.
Taught me about spirituality hanging bird feeders
and collecting nests on shelves.
We share one thing in common,
our minds never rest seeing
as if through a darkened glass.
You say once at a crossroads the wind spoke,
but you could not hear its message.
Standing on a bridge the waters moved you,
but...
they end each sentence watery.
Our glasses are both empty,
each breath returns a memory.
Nature is my godhead,
hugs me on long walks.
Each leaf passed down
came from creation.
Taught me about spirituality hanging bird feeders
and collecting nests on shelves.
We share one thing in common,
our minds never rest seeing
as if through a darkened glass.
You say once at a crossroads the wind spoke,
but you could not hear its message.

Blessed V dAy
Feeling the Mysts roll In and Recede Like the Oceans Tides
Over Time the Ebb and Flow Of Love Discovers where our Hearts Reside
The Warmth and Heat Absorbed Feeds the Sparks of our True Souls Devotion
Washing over and Bathing in Ones Love can only be Filled If One is Truly Open

tears of the moon
you always let me down but still i try"
as the flowers were blooming,
our true love was undoing
neither of us meant for it to happen
just as neither of us signed up for this everlasting sadness
the color pink that i once help dear
eventually became a stain in our past, which i now fear has long since been forgotten by you
heartache and pain is all we've known
so i wasn't surprised whenever your true color were shown
the sun and the moon could never last; our so-called relationship was doomed from the start
...

She Screamed Take ME!!!
So I enraptured her Heart of course ...
Wrapping it in Love and Care
Feeding it Compliment and Animated Discourse
I then Unwrapped Her Box of Chocolates and Feasted ...

she lied
Her pain reflects on
the waters
that drops
to her eyes
every drop packs
a wish
of suicide

Interrogation
Interrogated
strip searched
Charged with being in love
Found guilty
A lifetime of sweet kisses
