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.

Someone asked me what Love is
Someone asked me what love is.
Love is when the deepest part of your soul and someone else’s deepest part hug, comprehend and respect each other. Love is when the deepest fear you wouldn’t dare saying in front of anyone, becomes easy to tell in front of someone. Love is when you would do anything for the other person, not because you get something back but because if she’s happy you’re happy. Love is not easy, love is complicated and unfair. It often involves sacrifice, trade offs and heartbreaks. Indeed, we are only heartbroken because we love too much, or because we don’t understand...

Silence Of Loneliness
The slilence of loneliness
The cries nobody hears
The laugh that leads to tears
The smile that turns into a frown
The need to be loved when no ones around
The feelings of fear of being let down
When the silence of loneliness
Is the only sound
The cries nobody hears
The laugh that leads to tears
The smile that turns into a frown
The need to be loved when no ones around
The feelings of fear of being let down
When the silence of loneliness
Is the only sound

If Someday Ever Comes
If someday ever comes
Will there be a place for me
Will there be someone waiting for me
And will I know how to find him
Will the Lord allow me another start
How will I know I belong
Or will we have to part
Will I have to search for the love that never comes
Was it only in fun
Why did he have to run
What is it that I did
I gave all I had to give
There is so much more to me
Hidden so deep inside
Like lost treasure
It is worth the find
There is days I wish someday never...
Will there be a place for me
Will there be someone waiting for me
And will I know how to find him
Will the Lord allow me another start
How will I know I belong
Or will we have to part
Will I have to search for the love that never comes
Was it only in fun
Why did he have to run
What is it that I did
I gave all I had to give
There is so much more to me
Hidden so deep inside
Like lost treasure
It is worth the find
There is days I wish someday never...

The art of craving something you will never be fed.
Only a fool is blind to the difference between love and lust. I don’t think you ever loved me, I just satisfied your cravings.
See, I don’t want to just be your midnight snack or guilty pleasure. I want to be each meal; breakfast, lunch and dinner. I want to be the meal you planned on having last week, not the occasional surprise desire your sweet tooth requires. I am not an all-you-can-eat buffet, you can’t self-serve whenever you please. I want to be the meal you spend time preparing for, a delicacy....

Fate
His arms wide open
Anticipating my embrace
I shall not make him wait
I would never bait him
With profound eagerness
I fall into his arms
His heart begins to race
In this moment, we’re awakened
Our senses heightened
Souls connected
Accepting our fate
Eternal love
Anticipating my embrace
I shall not make him wait
I would never bait him
With profound eagerness
I fall into his arms
His heart begins to race
In this moment, we’re awakened
Our senses heightened
Souls connected
Accepting our fate
Eternal love

Watt? The Base unit of Power
So electrifying
Your current,
that our arc shines
brighter white
than blue.
Sparks jetting out
as our connection
made spiritual contact.
Everyday, today,
though our serial circuit
be stretched near a
5 kilometer from
me…..to…..You,
I can feel the amperage
Increase!
When I say “electrical fuzzies “
I am a High Voltage
Inside - volatile red fluidity
I burn in thoughts of
how I once touched You
made love to You
melted into You.
I know I could insert
a resistor or...

Thoughts?
How do I tell you that I love you without pushing you away?
How can I tell you that our friendship means the world to me without you feeling overwhelmed?
How would I go about telling you that I would move heaven and earth just to be with you one last time?
I know you know that I do but losing you again is not an option for me!
I first had you as a friend before we become lovers I miss us so much
The last day that we spent together it should not of been that way

and ode to desolation
beasts
they prefer solitude
the desperate souls
seek disparate quietude
the final
lasting peace
and they pay a great price for that
for there is no greater peace
than certainty
and no greater certainty
than death
the destruction of all that is alive
and/or beautiful
the peace
when holding the ashes
of love
of life
of your world
after the final betrayal by
your love
your life
your world
and every single person
and object
you held dear...

My Heart Offers
My heart offers a kinder reflection
Worn proudly on this threadbare sleeve
It still beats for love still beats for you
A little older no wiser
Just a heart of dirty gold
I live every moment in dreamland
Images of laying you down on a bed of roses
Surrounded by burning candles
Seduction should be something tried often
A romantic side seldom seen
Chasing your shadow
Cause that’s all you show
If my light shone on you
Would it reveal all
Or do you keep more secrets
Just show me what you...
Worn proudly on this threadbare sleeve
It still beats for love still beats for you
A little older no wiser
Just a heart of dirty gold
I live every moment in dreamland
Images of laying you down on a bed of roses
Surrounded by burning candles
Seduction should be something tried often
A romantic side seldom seen
Chasing your shadow
Cause that’s all you show
If my light shone on you
Would it reveal all
Or do you keep more secrets
Just show me what you...

If I Followed You Home
A cute little look
A cute little stare
I hope to make your heart go aflare
Would you say you love me
Would you say you care
Wouldn't you say we make a cute little pair
Although you may have such a handsome tone
I do prefer more than the phone
Would you, could you keep me
If followed you home
A cute little stare
I hope to make your heart go aflare
Would you say you love me
Would you say you care
Wouldn't you say we make a cute little pair
Although you may have such a handsome tone
I do prefer more than the phone
Would you, could you keep me
If followed you home

A Trick of Light
You said you don't condone violence,
when every kiss is like a knuckled fist.
You roll your eyes and laugh nonchalantly, spitting:
"Don't be cross, how can I do love with manners
when I want and want and wild with it?"
You flayed my bones with fleeting fractures
across this small bed of you.
I realize that I looked smaller on it more than anything else.
when every kiss is like a knuckled fist.

Knock Knocking Kisses
One can't grow tired of kisses,
I'll accept all kisses
Even those 3am ones
upon the back of my neck
When Mr Big is demanding
Entrance
Tap tapping upon my door
I'll let him go knock knocking
for a while longer whilst taking
enjoyment from those ~open up~
right now kisses
