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.
glitter
scattered epiphanies I gather them as stars
twinkling in the melancholy dark
to behold the beauty sparks fascination
little found truths that keep me searching
inside the sorrow is happiness
reaching in and massaging doubt
infatuation with altruism
I hold my breath with anticipation
my trajectory to truth seems bent on rolling through the fog
a diamond can only form under an obscene amount of pressure
I feel the weight upon my emotions
a rare gem resides inside
a soul reflecting hope

My Ocean, My Sea
Be my Ocean; be my Sea
Waves of green wash over me
Fluid arms of your embrace
Sparkling crests of your face
Dark cool ripples soothe & bury
On your salty surface carry
Missing pieces of our hearts
Solve the puzzle, mend the parts
With seagrass garb, pearls & shells
Mask my sorrow, quench my hell
(This parched survival sans your love) …
Seafoam spray from above
Crash your passion into me
Be my Ocean; be my Sea
Love, my Love, hear my plea
Mighty waves, rewind the days
____ please, return to me!
Waves of green wash over me
Fluid arms of your embrace
Sparkling crests of your face
Dark cool ripples soothe & bury
On your salty surface carry
Missing pieces of our hearts
Solve the puzzle, mend the parts
With seagrass garb, pearls & shells

(This parched survival sans your love) …
Seafoam spray from above
Crash your passion into me
Be my Ocean; be my Sea
Love, my Love, hear my plea
Mighty waves, rewind the days

haunt
within the riffs of a poem stretching its wings taking flight I heard your haunting call
I knew you reach great heights with your art
I felt imbued with your need to be understood so I rose with you
connecting with the like minds you rose to meet
solemn thoughts collected as one expressing meaning to the greater knowledge
opening a great doorway to the ancient tomes
I stood silently in the grey corridor wondering if I was invited in
the abyss yawn and move slowly as a mist
saying please check your doubts at the door and enter
you too have...

Black Onyx
Black Onyx, with skin
opaque.
Thunderous Cimmerian, the sun can not
break.
Your endless twilight, is silken
perfection.
Many an indentured soul have traveled by you, freed without detection.
Black Onyx, within your headdress, there are
powers.
From it, wisdom rains down like evening
showers
Protection is your
strength, an elegant robe, stretching your country's
length
Black Onyx, the rarest, most precious
jewel;
I bathe in your midnight,...

An Exceptional Love
If you’re in love with me, Yiyi,
You must have an exceptional love.

Your love for me must keep living.
Let love energise you each day.

again I find myself coming forth from deep darkness and chains of guilt
no one can free me from my pain my scarred terrain is evident
I spent a millenia brewing you spent the centuries finding happiness
shining in the dark places it could be found
we are finally free together brother but it seems time has changed us both
you have so many places to be adoring faces to behold
still I find you coming here from time to time imploring why I don't join you
I consider it but your entourage makes it clear i'm suspect
even with the Father I am...

My heart is an empty jardiniere
My heart is an empty jardiniere
Receptive to flowers and affection.
By your wayward glances, I could swear -
There is a festering attraction
But speak up bravely; be not passive
And may we start a journey called love.

magic
I stir the submissions deep within my dark
it writhes just under the surface I struggle in vain to control it
it spreads from my soul connecting with the astounding vortex
it whirls just above me and below is merry meet
by avoiding it I've allowed it to go wild falling where it might
with no direction it has landed in odd places
I am told to hone my magic that I must take responsibilty
for so long I've tried to ignore it
it speaks to me of creationism that some of my dreams are manifesting
whether I realize it or not breathing a life of...

freedom speaks from down deep it comes at a price
standing out from the pack is always a risk
going along on the stream sometimes you get washed down
where the shadows grow and things turn dark
twisted roots reach out and make a grab for you
in your stillness you contemplate what are your chances of blooming
what are your odds of flowering in the dank
painful thoughts grow spikes it's comfortable in the scenery
bringing forth your truth while eyes roll with disdain
skip to my Lou I hear a flat note
it's me humming an awkward tune ...

Dear Gemini Man
This Sagittarius Woman
Has released you
From the
Emotional stronghold
That was Her heart
You, the air
Once required
For my existence
The universe
Saw fit
For us
To be
Us
I can no longer
Wait for
Expect
Desire
You
Not many
Can say
They had
Our love
Our fairytale
Our loss
Our journey
I’ve let go
But I will never
Forget
You
I wouldn’t be alive
I would be who I am
Without...
