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 one
a smoky
wisp
reminds
me of
her
sweet smell.
no longer
will
she lie
along my
legs;
her
lips pouring
words
into my
ears,
oh,
to be
reconciled
with
the one
love
that buried
my
heart.

Love on my Mind
Love on my mind,
but you're not here
by my side.
Upon hearing my thoughts,
the flurry of activity,
you
me
us
As I lay here
peacefully quiet,
without care or distraction,
I can't help but wonder
what it would be like to kiss you,
and in doing so,
sharing whats on my mind
with thee.
but you're not here
by my side.

Observational Therapy
Asleep on your back,
as I study you further,
trying to work out why
you move me so eloquently,
that my love life was flat
lining without you
here with me, like this.
Are you dreaming of me
my beautiful prince, ?
be it lover or protector,
hear my enlightened words,
echoing across the nights
silent void between us,
so you might have a better
recognition of the part
I play..
I love you.
Another hour ...

Mind Quakes
soul trembling, mind quakes
mystifying heartaches
you're so distant, yet so near
touching deeply without fear
every time I think of you
I feel you are thinking too
it's a power, a force which flows
back and forth, between it goes
when you feel it I feel you
I am feeling what you do
every time that we connect
there is more than we suspect
no more distance as we make
souls tremble, minds quake
fingers tingle and vibrate
chakras spin as they rotate
every time I think...

I run away
Because I already know what will happen
I see it in my head so clear
The sight makes my eyes well up
If I get to close
I know I'll break down
I know I'll collapse
Because I'm just tired
Tired of everything
Tired of life
If love was in front of me I wouldn't know what to do with it
Awkward and overwhelming
____________
Hey look at it in a positive note....
At least you got a job
I see it in my head so clear
The sight makes my eyes well up
If I get to close
I know I'll break down
I know I'll collapse
Because I'm just tired
Tired of everything
Tired of life
If love was in front of me I wouldn't know what to do with it
Awkward and overwhelming
____________
Hey look at it in a positive note....
At least you got a job

Fever-Dream
I wanted something profound to say
about the wilderness we walked
crooked as snakes.
something in your vicious fang
and the orchards’ fruit;
some deep truth feeding the garden
like subterranean creeks
nourishing the thicket hiding
our joint fever-dream.
Like all carnage, ours was empty.
Dreams forgotten on waking,
all pumping earth awaiting collapse,
hollow fruit.
We were animals basking in
idiot nature, drunken meanings,
howling at nothing.
about the wilderness we walked
crooked as snakes.
something in your vicious fang
and the orchards’ fruit;
some deep truth feeding the garden
like subterranean creeks
nourishing the thicket hiding
our joint fever-dream.
Like all carnage, ours was empty.
Dreams forgotten on waking,
all pumping earth awaiting collapse,
hollow fruit.
We were animals basking in
idiot nature, drunken meanings,
howling at nothing.

Cancer- Stage 4
Stage 2?
They said I need more testing but it could be...
Stage 3.
If wore a dress
with a flattened chest
And a pink ribbon where my bra used to be
with a weakened stride yet a ton of pride would you call me a Fighter?
Stage 4.
On my last day...will you forget to call me Beautiful
When more hair is on my brush than on my head
When i am paler than a page
no strength to grip a pen
To write you a last...
They said I need more testing but it could be...
Stage 3.
If wore a dress
with a flattened chest
And a pink ribbon where my bra used to be
with a weakened stride yet a ton of pride would you call me a Fighter?
Stage 4.
On my last day...will you forget to call me Beautiful
When more hair is on my brush than on my head
When i am paler than a page
no strength to grip a pen
To write you a last...

Like No Other I've Known
Confidence
In spades
Sexy as Fuck
SAF for all you home gamers
I didn't make her
She came pre-assembled
Can't get enough
A little bit of writers block
When I'm happy I clam up
Knows what to say
When to say it
Split personality
To match mine
Wry smile on my face
That's all
....

Meet me at the train station
Meet me at the train station.
You’ll know it’s me
I’ll be in a grey hoodie,
And you’ll forget your halo again.
I’ll be standing on the corner
Where time hasn’t moved.
You’ll walk beside me,
Slow and rhythmic, as though there is a song in your head.
We’ll go downtown to watch our ghosts meet again for the very first time.
I’ll say all the things I should have
Your cheeks will become hot as you laugh to stop yourself from believing it all.
I’ll search deep within those troubled eyes
To see if time has tainted you.
I’ll use...

Love in the Autumn Twilight
Me with my book of sadness
You with your look of despair
As we walk through the graveyard
Oh, what a heavenly pair
Can we stay out and play tonight?
Forget all the hate and the lies
Been so long since I cherished your sighs
In this cold Autumn twilight
You look so lovely Mourning Dove
In this world full of madness
Have you ever been in love?
Enwrapped in this Autumn sadness
Helplessly caught in your stare
The world outside that awaits us
They're all too concerned with their hair!
Can we stay...
You with your look of despair
As we walk through the graveyard
Oh, what a heavenly pair
Can we stay out and play tonight?
Forget all the hate and the lies
Been so long since I cherished your sighs
In this cold Autumn twilight
You look so lovely Mourning Dove
In this world full of madness
Have you ever been in love?
Enwrapped in this Autumn sadness
Helplessly caught in your stare
The world outside that awaits us
They're all too concerned with their hair!
Can we stay...

Angel
Hazel eyes in the day
Dreamy grey in the dark
Horny brainstorms gone astray
Lost our bubbles in the park
Whipped strands of chardonnay
Gently rest around my wrist
Horizontally we lay
Face to face, lips to lips
Tiny freckles connect their dots
Sweeping hair across her cheeks
Time and space.... simultaneously stops
Bilingually fluent in love is all she speaks
Buttons and zippers wage their war
But lose their battle quite dramatically
Virgin breasts appear to soar
As her bra is stripped tragically
A mid summer's...
Dreamy grey in the dark
Horny brainstorms gone astray
Lost our bubbles in the park
Whipped strands of chardonnay
Gently rest around my wrist
Horizontally we lay
Face to face, lips to lips
Tiny freckles connect their dots
Sweeping hair across her cheeks
Time and space.... simultaneously stops
Bilingually fluent in love is all she speaks
Buttons and zippers wage their war
But lose their battle quite dramatically
Virgin breasts appear to soar
As her bra is stripped tragically
A mid summer's...

Me Into You
Breathe me in to you today
Send me softness while I lay
An aching urgence covers me
And only you can set me free
Blinded by a sea of red
The blood of life comes to a head
Reach inside and comfort me
Show me things I'll never see
Moving softly to and fro
Please don't ever let me go
Trembling as I lose my mind
Buried deep in warmth confined
And as I reach this journey's end
Two bodies gently do ascend
Now I know there's something more
I've had a glimpse of Heaven's door.
Send me softness while I lay
An aching urgence covers me
And only you can set me free
Blinded by a sea of red
The blood of life comes to a head
Reach inside and comfort me
Show me things I'll never see
Moving softly to and fro
Please don't ever let me go
Trembling as I lose my mind
Buried deep in warmth confined
And as I reach this journey's end
Two bodies gently do ascend
Now I know there's something more
I've had a glimpse of Heaven's door.
