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.

Warrior Heart
She has this energy, that is all her own,
When it manifests; I know my soul is home.
You chasing cookies and cream, this Queen, is stars and light,
Never been of the scene, she moves in ways I like..
Never knew a women who moved with such grace!
Lifted up my soul, from the darkest place.
Just her aura, was enough to make me feel safe.
My Warrior heart, with an Angel’s face.
When it manifests; I know my soul is home.
You chasing cookies and cream, this Queen, is stars and light,
Never been of the scene, she moves in ways I like..
Never knew a women who moved with such grace!
Lifted up my soul, from the darkest place.
Just her aura, was enough to make me feel safe.
My Warrior heart, with an Angel’s face.

Drunken text to a college ex
Promised you I’d never drunk dial / And I still won’t / But no fronts / If I could do it all over again / I wouldn’t change a word or bend / Never told you but your words still lend perspective / e.g. I grind my checklist hearing out loud / “Here and now I’m young and brilliant; in a few years I’ll just be brilliant.” / I didn’t take that as “Oh, her cynical humor is resilient.” / Instead I tracked your satellite view / Applied it to my own lore / Paraphrased that shit back as / Time is a carnivore / Mindful of so many lessons more / Re-set my standards from the span I couldn’t then...

His wants My needs
His wants my needs
Uncomprised defeat of words
Disconcerted by my tender illicit deeds
In the throne of madness
Blind eyes closed in muted tones
The warmth of a touch softening the sadness
Embossing his forgotten signature upon the appeal of my fragile heart
Love has been signed, sealed, and delivered
A woman always wins the part
Uncomprised defeat of words
Disconcerted by my tender illicit deeds
In the throne of madness
Blind eyes closed in muted tones
The warmth of a touch softening the sadness
Embossing his forgotten signature upon the appeal of my fragile heart
Love has been signed, sealed, and delivered
A woman always wins the part

ALMOST A STRANGER
before i loved her
there was
just you
and me
in that little trailer
behind sammy's house
getting water
for coffee
from the spigot
outside
and wondering
how we'd shower
in the cold
and god knows
it was awful
and wonderful
and nothing
and everything
i ever wanted --
not a girl like
you
but you
with that slow drawl
and that lazy
half assed
way of fumbling through life,
of shrugging
all the bullshit away
and taking it all
as it came
and, goddamn, ...

Memories of Missing You
Always and forever you had me at your beckoned call, trying to make you smile. The only time I felt powerful was when I made you laugh, uncontrollably and out loud. I wanted you to stay forever, but I am still thankful to have had your heart even if for just a little while. Now when I lay on our picnic blanket all alone as I stare up into the sky, I can still wistfully imagine your face in a picturesque floating cloud. I will always cherish all of our late night thoughtful talks, something that we had affectionately shared. And I will forever treasure the way you held my hand, walking side by...

They Say A Heart Is Merely A Pump
The weight of a mans heart is barely 300grams
a woman's slightly less
and beyond the fatalistic beating
60-80 of those a minute
pumping life into the furthest reaches of the cosmos as neuroimaging suggests connections in the human brain
link beyond that of the stars in the sky
I burn for your curled warmth
your breath on my face
tickling
inviting me to stare
into the unknown
the abyss that stares back
my breath quickens
pulse races and all 300grams of ...

Front Door
The front door is closed.
Why are you holding back your love?
I’m here in case you need me.
Please let me romance you.
Lead me to your heart.
Baby, I’m outside your apartment in the rain.
I’m sitting on my motorcycle.
I forgot to bring an umbrella.
And I want to take off my dripping wet clothes.
Sorry to bother you,
But I could use a dry towel.
And if I’m not asking for too much,
Make me a cup of hot chocolate.
Look through the window.
And sympathize with me.
Don’t let me stay out here alone.
Please don’t hang up...

All I Need Is You
Quiet meal, just the two of us
is something we still like to share.
It’s always easier to be ourselves
when no one else is there.
Slow dance, is still our favourite dance
you and I together, me holding you near.
While you listen as I softly whisper
words of love in your ear.
Gentle passion, that’s how we want it
when you share your love with me.
Still romantic and always tender.
That’s how we like it to be.
Night falls and you share my pillow
feels good holding you close like I do
Dawn breaks and...
is something we still like to share.
It’s always easier to be ourselves
when no one else is there.
Slow dance, is still our favourite dance
you and I together, me holding you near.
While you listen as I softly whisper
words of love in your ear.
Gentle passion, that’s how we want it
when you share your love with me.
Still romantic and always tender.
That’s how we like it to be.
Night falls and you share my pillow
feels good holding you close like I do
Dawn breaks and...

Chronic wasting disease
I work in an animal shelter now
Every morning i bathe in bleach when i clean kennels
When i shower, steam rises out of the curtain and its laced with chemicals as they rinse off my hair
And yet still, i will always feel dirty remembering what i let myself do with you
Write that into a fucking song
Every morning i bathe in bleach when i clean kennels
When i shower, steam rises out of the curtain and its laced with chemicals as they rinse off my hair
And yet still, i will always feel dirty remembering what i let myself do with you

Twin flame
Twelve miles apart
In sync are our hearts
Emotions burning deep
Connections flowing steep
To be loved, held or valued she fear
He cant help but to care
I belong to her
You belong to them
Only time will unite us but when?
In sync are our hearts
Emotions burning deep
Connections flowing steep
To be loved, held or valued she fear
He cant help but to care
I belong to her
You belong to them
Only time will unite us but when?

Reappearing Ghost
The virus got people who I thought died
And vanished like a ghost re-emerging
From the shadows of yesterday. I already
Wasted many sleepless nights and cried
Too much. I saved myself from the surging
Waves as you could not stay, be steady,
And hold me this time. I was the heroine
Of my own story with no hero or prince
On the white horse and I was doing just
Fine without you. I survived our harrowing
Ending. Every memory was on wash, rinse,
And repeat, but still I moved on as I adjust
The crown that was...
And vanished like a ghost re-emerging
From the shadows of yesterday. I already
Wasted many sleepless nights and cried
Too much. I saved myself from the surging
Waves as you could not stay, be steady,
And hold me this time. I was the heroine
Of my own story with no hero or prince
On the white horse and I was doing just
Fine without you. I survived our harrowing

And repeat, but still I moved on as I adjust

This New Day, Raison D'etre
Let me show you
Through the soft and gentle folds
Of fabric stitched with a fine silk threading
My raison d'etre
See there in the yellows of sun
And the pinks of this special moon
A new season
And reason to bloom
I have had days too long
And nights that fought the dawn to come
I have been so tired
From lonesome walks that I placed first foot in surely
But there are heavenly eyes that have brightened to see my arrival
And my eyes would shine to see yours
Of possessions
I need none but...
Through the soft and gentle folds
Of fabric stitched with a fine silk threading
My raison d'etre
See there in the yellows of sun
And the pinks of this special moon
A new season
And reason to bloom
I have had days too long
And nights that fought the dawn to come
I have been so tired
From lonesome walks that I placed first foot in surely
But there are heavenly eyes that have brightened to see my arrival
And my eyes would shine to see yours
