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.

A rose with petals of titanium
Her bloody thorns tiny daggers
ripped my flesh, elevated me
I kneel, and know she is my love
Her bloody thorns tiny daggers
ripped my flesh, elevated me
I kneel, and know she is my love

Lemons & Limes
It’s Geoff’s day off, he had some time,
Went to the store to get a lime.
I dunno why he got just one,
To me it sounded kinda dumb.
And had no lemons on his list
Which he had written on his wrist.
Why can’t he buy an extra plum,
A bag o’ grapes where they come from
Or cumquats, they’re so very small,
Don’t blink, you’d never see ‘em all.
With honeydew ya’ don’t need two,
Just one will be enough for you.
The mangos I’m suggesting more.
I happen to be near the store;
So pardon me as I digress, ...

Lords of sorrows
A leaking pen of
Blue ink
Compose sad letters
that fall into mourning words
contrast against
mystic and romantic
anecdotes that whirl in a frenzied
dance upon the
window pane
they, do not suffice
to lure you
from the hurt, you feel
the dampness of regretful pain,
Salt weeps
from your eyes
to drop
and crystalise into beautiful
rocks that I
collect in my velvet pocket,
But,
Summoned magic cannot liberate
your enveloped state ...

Only she knows
Love; it’s all the silly things.
You know what I mean? It’s everything.
The slight lift at the edge of her mouth when she smiles,
The hidden eyes that look away so quickly;
The things she cannot hide behind lies.
Her image is imprinted in me.
I am never left to doubt the things I cannot believe,
Because only she knows how to tell me what I need.
The two second stare and then the silence;
The endless thoughts flying by like pilots,
In planes that will soon crash and burn.
Still she is here and still I yearn.

All Wet
Once again you"ve graced my day;
you really shouldn't gush that way
and fountain up your love of I,
your water gun still set on high
has cooled me off here in the heat,
wet alpha bits of soaked retort,
splashed in pools of aqua sports;
how 'done you are' how 'this won't work';
I love you too; I sigh and burp.

Blue figure eight
You are like a bunch
of forbidden figure eights
No matter how I try,
I can never quite turn them into
A king of hearts
You are attractive like a blazing fire,
Casting fiery sparks into the frozen winter air's chill
Your ray of light is addictive, I'm addicted
Got to collect your rays, your fire flies, like Christmas lights,
When I most need to decorate the space
Space that counts, keeps track of how far away I am from you, tugging me like a rope that I can't seem to grip
A segmented chess board stares me in the face from every corner ...

Rubbing It All Over Our Skin
The way they wiggle
with the woodchime
just knowing,
I'm about to blow my mind
the pertness of the nips;
quite persuasive
but I don't want to be
that sugar‘d daddy kind
send to me those secrets
written in a sacrosanct way
unchallenged,
enduring with devil'ance
mouth watering and dripping whett,
re'duced but unredacted
speaking without disrespecting
the unmolded, still folded seams
to be explored, word atop word
spinning, pining, defining
the undefinable
awashed with...

she's so beautiful but i don't think she's aware of it
her eyes scream hello
she makes me nervous
talking to her was so easy
and in her presence, I don't feel worthless
she made me feel like we were at 6 flags
the sky is dark yet the moon is shining
stars bringing out her eyes
leaving me so damn surprised at her beauty
not just out but inside
it feels like a dream and I never want to wake up
and she knows pain in a whole different way
but what good is life without a few hiccups
her hair in the wind reminds me of a summer night
dark blue sky, smiling so hard...
she makes me nervous
talking to her was so easy
and in her presence, I don't feel worthless
she made me feel like we were at 6 flags
the sky is dark yet the moon is shining
stars bringing out her eyes

not just out but inside
it feels like a dream and I never want to wake up
and she knows pain in a whole different way
but what good is life without a few hiccups
her hair in the wind reminds me of a summer night

At the Root of Me
I know I can be a little senseless, but there’s one thing that’s on my mind…
Darling, I crave you like my lungs need air, with a hunger too much to bear,
That quenching my thirst simply will lead to more and more constant longing,
That this yearning goes beyond both the physical and the spiritual and maybe
You’re right, I’m obsessed…
But my heart knows full well the distinction between love and fascination,
And what we found in our lives in the spec of all time is something special,
That the sole purpose in my life is to live a satisfying...

Flamenco #Frederico Garcia Lorca
Castanets, pulsing blood and coursing
Regina for the veins
Stabs a rhythm
Passion of ivory carved outlines
Deaths arrogance the haughtiness caresses
Cuban heels, hearts stamped crashendo
Puppetiers we danced
To winds that strummed
Plectrum on the strings of fate
Rat-ta-ta long fingers that gesticulate
Bare the beast of inuendo
Flames that lick from our flamenco
That we will kiss in love and hate
Regina for the veins
Stabs a rhythm
Passion of ivory carved outlines
Deaths arrogance the haughtiness caresses
Cuban heels, hearts stamped crashendo
Puppetiers we danced
To winds that strummed
Plectrum on the strings of fate
Rat-ta-ta long fingers that gesticulate
Bare the beast of inuendo
Flames that lick from our flamenco
That we will kiss in love and hate
