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.

whatever
Hell is on the inside,
And I've tried all my life
to beautifully describe
all that I;
Seen, or heard,
or felt
But I'm nowhere near original,
no, i'm nowhere near alive..
& I can't create anymore lines about
the stars, because they are as dead
as these words..
only i'll burn out,
long before anyone
can call me beautiful
& I want to know
just what it is,
that makes you .tick.
To learn to traverse
through the folds of your mind
& dance through the halls...
And I've tried all my life

Given
Consider it given.
This hopeless dreamer’s sigh.
It is but a whispered wish that this moment’s
breath would rest upon your lips.
I breathe in your stanzas.
Filling the lungs of my confidence,
breaking the chains of my fear.
You feed me, and I am free.
Sitting in the sun,
imagining the heat radiating from your body.
Absorbing every curve and contour.
Tasting the very nature of you.
A kiss imagined.
Though the vision is fleeting,
The touch of two souls will
be felt forever.
This hopeless dreamer’s sigh.
It is but a whispered wish that this moment’s
breath would rest upon your lips.
I breathe in your stanzas.
Filling the lungs of my confidence,
breaking the chains of my fear.
You feed me, and I am free.
Sitting in the sun,
imagining the heat radiating from your body.
Absorbing every curve and contour.
Tasting the very nature of you.
A kiss imagined.
Though the vision is fleeting,
The touch of two souls will
be felt forever.

soulless
soul of the soulless bring me your sorrow
gentle keeper over dreams
sing to me quietly I'm in pain
notes of unrest rise inside me
and I keen with the visions of what's to come
in the solitary need I complain about things I can't change
a waste of breath
in my hour of want I cry to the angels
they silently look away
cringing in the eternal void
even Lucifer weeps
little hope is my life
I have this one chance
I reach the heavens with my voice
my prayers heard
a sigh then a whisper
he is near...

New Relationship Energy
new relationships
are exciting
and terrifying
opening to one another
finding similarities
common interests
over-emphasizing strengths
downplaying imperfections
desiring to be just right
knowing
that vulnerabilities
eventually emerge
that may be too much
or too little to bear
(C) 2021 Raibeart Bruis

Taming The beast
I don't have the
Time to spare
To tell you why
I no longer care
For the one thing
You never were
Was fair
I've done my best
To tame the beast
Inside of me
But I can't hold
On anymore
It's too painful
For me
Now is not
The time to be passive
I won't let you
Make me cry
You took me
On this rocky ride
I just don't know why
So baby goodbye
Time to spare
To tell you why
I no longer care
For the one thing
You never were
Was fair
I've done my best
To tame the beast
Inside of me
But I can't hold
On anymore
It's too painful
For me
Now is not
The time to be passive
I won't let you
Make me cry
You took me
On this rocky ride
I just don't know why
So baby goodbye

I Imagine You
The rain is soft and the sun is down.
The leaves blow as I look around.
As I begin to ponder through the night,
I imagine you, I could hold so tight.
As I sit in this empty place,
My mind begins to drift to space.
My heart skips a beat with the thought of you,
It makes me wonder if it were just us two.
Do you feel like you have found the person you are looking for?
Though we are worlds apart, it only makes me want you more.
All the places we could explore,
As in the past like before.
In the future moments together...
The leaves blow as I look around.
As I begin to ponder through the night,
I imagine you, I could hold so tight.
As I sit in this empty place,
My mind begins to drift to space.
My heart skips a beat with the thought of you,
It makes me wonder if it were just us two.
Do you feel like you have found the person you are looking for?
Though we are worlds apart, it only makes me want you more.
All the places we could explore,
As in the past like before.
In the future moments together...

Starless
She was the night,
He was the light,
They said goodbye,
And now her existence is a starless sky.
He was the light,

how careless of me
if i told you a
hundred times
a day, "i love
you."
nay...
a thousand
times a day,
i would regret
that it wasn't
a thousand
and one.

Forbidden Love
At the edge
Of a recurring dream
A wild red rose
Wet droplets on petals
Like soft tears
Remind me of lost beauty
The scent of forbidden love
Grows so much stronger
Upon my senses
In my empty bed
I see nothing
But feel everything
The embers of my soul
Reach out in quiet desperation
To touch her elusive essence
Of a recurring dream
A wild red rose
Wet droplets on petals
Like soft tears
Remind me of lost beauty
The scent of forbidden love
Grows so much stronger
Upon my senses
In my empty bed
I see nothing
But feel everything
The embers of my soul
Reach out in quiet desperation
To touch her elusive essence

While On Earth
"Et Ses Octo" or Eights 'n Sixes]
The moon will rise in nighttime skies,
long after we are gone …
the birds will sing and take to wing,
and poets’ words live on.
The sun will blaze on Summer days,
and flow’rs return in Spring …
it's good to know that when we go,
we'll not disturb a thing.
The rain will fall and trees grow tall,
life will go on, it's true.
So, while on earth, for what it's worth,
I'll share my heart...

Distilled
I stand in the dream of
a dew washed morning
as the past fades like
a passing shadow. Once
there was a dance with
the mistress of deception.
A time when we were
intimate lovers. Passionate,
but now the spell of
my mortality is broken.
As the last vestiges of your
strange moon wanes,
fear and doubt lay dying...
writhing like dragon tails.
Come close to the center
of everything where
I see a new kind of freedom,
and dive into the river
to be swept away by the
deep current of change....
