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.

Standing Giggles
Unexpected spontaneous
removal of
Night gown brings
standing giggles
Beautiful be the natural light
his admiring sigh shining
Leaving me naked
vunerable
to his next move
on the mornings rise
Just how I like it

i miss you
My love where are you this eve?
I'm calling you
enter my darkness greed
and soothe the beast in me
these halls are cold
without your shining love
I cry inside for your absence
after all these months I've begun to grieve
anger wrapped me tightly
I was terribly missing you and not realizing it
in some ways, I pushed you away
my darkness is too much to bear I see that now
you have to fly
I have to let you go
so you may soar to destinations
of your heart's desire
someday...
I'm calling you

a beautiful mind
you have me reaching for beauty in my art
it's easy to see the darkness
open your eyes and it's there
but the light as it falls just right
on the beautiful landscape in subtle shades
takes a trained mind
an artists eye for detail
you have that my dear
I didn't quite see you fully before
my vision attuned to the bleak
couldn't recognize true beauty
when it was right in front of me
it's easy to see the darkness
open your eyes and it's there
but the light as it falls just right
on the beautiful landscape in subtle shades
takes a trained mind
an artists eye for detail
you have that my dear
I didn't quite see you fully before
my vision attuned to the bleak
couldn't recognize true beauty
when it was right in front of me

She is my goddess
Beautiful radiant as a rising star, she is the queen of sea I call into her, onto my knees I fall when she rises from the deep, my Goddess my queen re-incarnate into the utter divine, one gaze at her grace and my soul surrenders to her beauty, my heart flutters hastily as her beauty stimulates the sensuality, her perfection in her skin smooth like silk, soft as the finest weather, the color of the rarest gems in nature, she has eyes bright like as the celestial the stars, luscious gentle red lips that speaks all the glory, her breast glowing to the elegant charm full of tasteful like the...

random thoughts of a mountain
there's a solitude to you
one could foolishly mistake for tranquil
not being able to see the currents
of the tides and turbulent waters
running through your whole
you keep them hidden
your personal space not put on show
stoic at a glance
but so much more below
where your greatest strengths flow
your mental musculature daunting
and your movement methodical and slow
understanding that patience and perseverance
gain rewards immeasurable
your passion akin to my favorite weather
building up gradually
and beautiful...

Your Truth
Tenderly, our cursors touched
Your cunt one verb away.
Shakespeare swimming through
Wetness of your verses
Oh how I drowned!
Others lusted for you
Beyond your Caribbean mystique
You and I truly knew.
On the eve of seduction
You chose a life a destruction
No sentiment, no pain, nothing to gain.
Spin your words
Weave me to the grave
Then she was gone
Your cunt one verb away.
Shakespeare swimming through
Wetness of your verses
Oh how I drowned!
Others lusted for you
Beyond your Caribbean mystique
You and I truly knew.
On the eve of seduction
You chose a life a destruction
No sentiment, no pain, nothing to gain.
Spin your words
Weave me to the grave
Then she was gone

Trickles of my heart sound something like blood
Lipstick of time-rhyme carves rouge
Rainbows over mouths to remain un-kissed.
Wreath words spell her name
Softly as a dying baby’s whispers.
Each shard of my broken heart
Cloaked and daggered by her glass kisses.
She said "I want to die anyway"
Rainbows over mouths to remain un-kissed.
Wreath words spell her name
Softly as a dying baby’s whispers.
Each shard of my broken heart
Cloaked and daggered by her glass kisses.
She said "I want to die anyway"

Tapestries Talk
A clear connection
The understanding of
trust grown strong with
sexy reveal
Warm friendships borne
from battles fought
Love
Meandering its steady
thread
till tapestries speak
Talk of adventures
waiting to be remembered

Depend on Me
Your voice carries through the gale
But even so; it sounds so frail
"A raven can't fly with wings of glass"
So why do you make decisions so rash?
These past few years haven't been nice
Even though we've met naught but twice
The skies are violet, they once were blue
Please don't tell me this is you, fair and true.
You were blinded by rage and sorrow
And now you won't live to see tomorrow
If you had worn goggles, maybe you'd've seen clearly
But I didn't hold your life so dearly
Now you're gone, and I'm alone
What...

passion's fury
I enter your river
brewing with storms inside me
your waters feel my tempest
rolling with an emotion
your shores threaten to flood over
with your own brand of chaos
I see you in my mind's eye
you are calm. collected
and in control of yourself
this serenity unnerves me
I boil with a feeling
until I no longer have power over it
and it seeks you out of rebellion
look in my eyes
and you will know wild passion
unbidden, unshakeable
this is lust darlin
brewing with storms inside me
your waters feel my tempest
rolling with an emotion
your shores threaten to flood over
with your own brand of chaos
I see you in my mind's eye
you are calm. collected
and in control of yourself
this serenity unnerves me
I boil with a feeling
until I no longer have power over it
and it seeks you out of rebellion
look in my eyes
and you will know wild passion
unbidden, unshakeable
this is lust darlin

You
Words can’t describe this feeling inside
Your heaven in a bottle, a taste I haven’t tried
The way you walk, and talk is euphoric at best
The way you hold me…urgh! has me obsessed
With your words in mind, where I confide
And your smile combined, I trust mankind
That’s saying something and real scary for me
My heart is thumping, my legs want to flee
How can I be so terrified of feeling something true?
Or maybe I’m just terrified of deserving someone like you?
Whenever you’re around, the weather is warmer
Where ever you are,...
Your heaven in a bottle, a taste I haven’t tried
The way you walk, and talk is euphoric at best
The way you hold me…urgh! has me obsessed
With your words in mind, where I confide
And your smile combined, I trust mankind
That’s saying something and real scary for me
My heart is thumping, my legs want to flee
How can I be so terrified of feeling something true?
Or maybe I’m just terrified of deserving someone like you?
Whenever you’re around, the weather is warmer

Lillian
She sashayed in the room
With intent
The freshman named Lillian
Felt eyes when she walked in
The boys said “Daaaaamn!"
Let’s not pretend
She knew her butt was big
But what she didn’t know as class went on
Was a boy couldn’t control his hard-on
14, hormones, puberty
You know what it is
But while others look at her like animals
After all, we are mammals
She knew something was different about him
Something was
As for the boy, he was sitting with his best friend
When Lillian walked in
The boy was an ass...
