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 Girl With Big Eyes
When Sedrick first met Chrissie, she was eighteen years old.
Chrissie had big eyes and she was a pretty girl.
She accompanied her friend Emma to visit Sedrick’s mother.
Sedrick fell in love with Chrissie at first sight.
And he told Chrissie’s friend to tell her that he liked her.
Emma apparently told Chrissie what Sedrick said.
The next time Chrissie saw Sedrick, she smiled at him beautifully.
Sedrick had a long conversation with Chrissie.
And he could easily tell that she had feelings for him.
Chrissie went back to Sedrick’s home...

Not legend, but the forests that
would preserve their names.
The true reality lies in what
represents exactly what, where.
Looking back, there is something
in common, between reality and
hubris, to become a sculptor and
everything. In the book of the
mind, the passages that describe
are especially fascinating.
The boy's mind again, in the heart
of that which has been filled, once
again, with the wild.
"Here's the riddle that you must

Dark heart
The pain is back; feeble heart.
I can feel myself sinking into my dark art.
Hand me a life jacket or tear me apart with a single sentence.
To me you are only a thing of non-consequence.
All people are, is driving in their cars.
I’ve travelled far, but never left my star.
Hollywood drive, I have arrived;
Paint by number movies, oh how we laughed and we cried.

I Did That
See that there, I did that shit
I observed her walking along a train looking at a burner, impressed by it
I walked up introduced myself, and started discussing the piece
She asked was it mine, I said no but I know the thief
Told her my boy, Knuckles, is a master of the art
She asked if I really knew the artist or was I trying to get her legs to part
I took her picture with my phone, and told her that we'ld meet the next day
Walked her ass two cars down pointed at the burner asking did I look okay
She was really impressed and now...

My Gift
Hello Baby Girl, the name is Me
Why would you be all alone as anyone can see
Sitting and sipping your drink with your head always down
You can't hear the music, your problems are drowning out the sound
Do you want conversation or a willing ear
I'm really tame Baby Girl. so have no fear
I'll sit and listen, while you sip your drink
Then when you're done, I'll tell you what I think
What he does day in and out, to you area mystery
You know little of his present and none of his history
Conversations with him are always one sided ...
Why would you be all alone as anyone can see
Sitting and sipping your drink with your head always down
You can't hear the music, your problems are drowning out the sound

I'll sit and listen, while you sip your drink

Come
Come.
Enfold yourself in me.
Know grace and warmth
and then enveloping serenity.
Burrow down in gentleness
within my arms
and bring your ear
close to my face
so you can hear me whispering
to you,
“You’re safe, you’re safe,
you’re safe.
Enfold yourself in me.
Know grace and warmth
and then enveloping serenity.
Burrow down in gentleness
within my arms
and bring your ear
close to my face
so you can hear me whispering
to you,
“You’re safe, you’re safe,
you’re safe.

A Moonflower I
Her pale beauty, still, haunts my mind
but she is far beyond heart's grasp,
she beams on me, she seems so kind,
I am mesmerised eyes stuck fast.
A Lunatic, I , at the last
as tides within surge ebb and roar
my eyes are forever up cast
as I soar upwards to adore.
Her Mother, sun, can burn and blind
her power beams so wide and vast,
but I believe that I have chimed
with daughter moon my lot, is cast.
I've seen her pale light as I glanced,
as Moonflower, I beg for more,
but by sunrise hopes may be dashed
at my slow...

Beautiful tears
Life has an expiration date.
Call it sad or call it fate.
It has to end and all fades away.
You can fight against it but you can’t evade.
Remember your dead for they are not here.
You have loved them now for years and years,
And when you next meet them you will once more be near.
Their ending was not the beginning of your tears.
You have already cried and you did not die.
They fade away but you hold their light.
Inside your heart is where you will find them.
They will be waiting for you at your bitter end.

love is not so easy to kill
Anger seeps,
creeping,
displacing space,
once occupied by a heart.
Slowly,
a cancer grows,
this white hot flame,
a forest fire of destruction,
leaving in the aftermath,
numb serenity,
darkness,
and
unending sadness.
Avoiding each other's eyes,
ashamed
of hurtful words spoken,
wishing them all unsaid,
and then you touch my hand.
A new beginning,
and a blessing,
turning pain
into summer rains,
watching as flowers unfold,
seeing the world grow. ...

Tired
I'm tired of writing about breaking up
I'm tired and worn of breaking up
I'm tired of feeling as if I'm the one corrupt
I'm tired of feeling like I'm the only one giving a fuck
I've cried and worried, but still a clown feigning to laugh
How is it that you're the only one with sunshine in the aftermath
My heart fucking clenching in a grip everytime that I think of you
Fucking digging through your lies only to find that they are true
I was accustom to bearing the burden, sharing and accepting the blame
Snapping to attention or oozing from...

I. Born in October, 2 Feb 1914, Los Angeles, Midheaven, exact link, aphelion. I have chosen this Nakshatra for you to be born with the ultimate balance and sense of justice, a responsive and attractive character, an atmosphere of generosity and a sense of grandeur and solemnity, all-cunning and intelligence with strength, courage combined with power. Saturn is conjunct in such a way that you can easily create a low excitement that satisfies you and overwhelms you with its amazing buzz of success.
