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.

Beauty in her soul
Beautiful her soul it is,
piercing to the mind a look at her is breathtaking a memory so fine.

Discovery
Love sought in tear kissed dreams
A lifetime of summer less winters
Love found amidst falling snow
Eyes which danced just for me
You are my Spring

Dripping Melting Heart
You melted this heart
In a way
No other has done before
Had its core
Dripping
Right before your eyes
It was bound by the ties of love
The fears of loneliness
Knowing only freedom in your embrace
For in this feeling you awakened
You have made me
All I am
All I will ever know
So give me these stolen moments
Give me more than an eternity of promise
Have me quiver
Have me shiver
I cup my dripping melting heart
In my hands
Hold it to you
Its all I have to give ...
In a way

All I am
All I will ever know
So give me these stolen moments
Give me more than an eternity of promise
Have me quiver

In my hands

It's Only The Sun
Trashcan ideals
nothing more
just a meal
use
use
use it all up
fill, fill your cup
save nothing but empty
for me.

To my internet (ex)boyfriend
Sweet doubting thing,
I remember you saying
how you picture us meeting in person,
at a bar, and how fun that would be.
I recalled typing "haha" when I want to say so much more,
and now we don't talk anymore.
I should've said "Come a little closer,
there's a certain radiance in your lips
and I like the way it burns." but I didn't. I am sorry.
You'll never guess how often I daydream
feeling your teeth on my skin,
my shoulder in your mouth.
You have to know that you are not
just a college experiment,
or a...

GENESIS OF MY POETRY
That first warm smile
ebullient hello
comfortable style
My ink starts to flow.
A beautiful goddess flawed perfectly
Acquainted with hardship and pain
Yet equally blessed with resiliency
On her terms lives life with no shame.
Statuesque yet unassuming
Imbued with innate sensuality
Kind brown eyes, red lips blooming
To kiss them would ne’er be reality.
Enamored I am with one artistic feature
On her smooth, white shoulder a peacock tattoo
My lips yearn to press each colorful feather
As her friend it’s...

Poetic Medic
WAIT!
Before operating on this sterile
body of work occupying
intensive care - defibrillate!
Conditoned critical, my poetry
lying there under so many lamps
death near
Charging to 500 amps;
shouts
CLEAR!
Pulse returns
and it takes a breath
Rescuscitated, weak, restored
hereabouts to land of the living -
no longer terminally pathetic
destined for a morgue shelf
When it comes to honest critique
my dear Poetic Medic is kind
thoroughly giving of her healing self ...

map of eden
as we sit,
inches apart,
breathing; seething
a lifetime bleeds through
amidst the blinks; our lips
curl, words tumble: carefree
you laugh; i bridge my breaths
our eyes pause, needy as ever,
they soak like primordial sponges;
they mirror, we move, the air crackles
our glances brush, like lovers under
the harvest moon. our pupils dilate:
twins dancing under a nude sky
(they are miniature supernovas;
and, we are mere explosions
that hurtled across the void,

When Do I Cry?
The wind has robbed me,
taking away the blooms
from my favorite rose,
my tears water lonely ground,
no goodbye, just memories
left for me to reflect upon,
only emptiness within myself
where you belong.

ode to my eos
the first time
i had felt like a foetus:
floating outside, lost
her eyes had spoken to me
in a language older than
the universe;
but i failed her
it has been forever,
months have gone past;
like a wave in the sea of time
that reaches the edge, and
gets swallowed by oblivion
i have cleaned the house now;
the cushions are placed like
drinking buddies on a beach
I feel ready; any time now
i sit with my eyes glued to
the door, waiting to glimpse
a lurking...

When your not around
When your not around,
Deafening sound of cold hard truth,
Castrate my manhood,
Your brash feminism,
Bordering on maniacal contempt,
Not a slut nor a shrinking violet,
A ceaseless , love starved, coke bottled ,
Dream girl ,
Infatuation,
Im too old ,
Scarred and cynical,
For I can't see the visibility,
Of your vanity, .
As my mirrors are smoken,
Promising me a orchard,
...
