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.

Infatuation
Nah that ain tangible enough,I need the SeeSee education
Like give me ya lungs STAT
Treat it like a bong and,siphon ya last breath
Or should i..blow this bitch up Code BLACK
Forfeit the possibility of a pass/fail test
Shit I'm in Distress
I studied you so much I'm questioning what I know
Haywire in this mental wreckoning
Insanity card ready in case my suicide missions' a go
Go all out for you love,no bullet proof vesting
But I fien for ya life lessons,whats on your mind?
Bait me with the relations baby I got nothing...

Only through yours....
you see me
from the depths
of my very deepest
all the grossly hidden
the raw, broken, bloody
that is not want for hiding
you see....
me
as imperfect
and of promises
that are never traded
upon a rainbow
of eye rolling misconstrued
it's the exigency of truth
requited in myrrh scented hope
a will and wit that fluoresce
you see me
with a sweetness in self protection
a scarred kindness
that blooms
in tulips and lilacs
perhaps roses,
when luck
and...

Soldier On
Sometimes I just want you
In a way I could explain
But choose not to
Then I feel my desire in the elms
I simmer and burn
My own release won't be good enough
Life in my self imposed tenderloin
Longing and incomplete
I soldier on
In a way I could explain
But choose not to
Then I feel my desire in the elms
I simmer and burn
My own release won't be good enough
Life in my self imposed tenderloin
Longing and incomplete
I soldier on

7 Days
Day One – Happy content and feeling the best I’ve felt in days
Day Two – Calm but sleepier than yesterday, missing something
Day 3 – Day dreams, off into the distance I stare while working
Day 4 – Eating more because I feel like I need to fix something broken
5 – Longing, distracted…why am I like this? Focus…sadness…silence
6 I break down and ask to see you, maybe somehow you want me too?
Reset – As skin on skin meets, you envelope me in your love, I am free
Day One – ....

Poecstasy
Our poetic love could never die
I daily dream of you being next to me
Whether in words or deed
You are the Muse of my Destiny
The understanding we possess
My love and feeling
Time cannot suppress
Words yet to be invented
For me to express
You’re God’s Gift to poetry
The Goddess!
But I digress...
I’ve never been worthy,
Poetically
But I’m the man of your dreams,
Poexually
(And not to be blunt,
also Sexually)😘
But regardless if I get you here
Next to me... ...

My Love
1914
My love is a coda, long
After we have passed.
New creatures spring
From our soft bodies
And critique it and poke at it.
In a tangle of untruths
And speculation.
1939
My love is fire,
Unruly and loud, crackling
And spitting toward
Passerbys. They'd
Collapse otherwise,
hopeless. I am the prince
Of a faraway land,
Proud and shining.
1967
My love is in beauty.
The hand on my chest
Or the friendship it offers.
Cool breeze and
ghostly echos of us ...
My love is a coda, long
After we have passed.
New creatures spring
From our soft bodies
And critique it and poke at it.
In a tangle of untruths
And speculation.
1939
My love is fire,
Unruly and loud, crackling
And spitting toward
Passerbys. They'd
Collapse otherwise,
hopeless. I am the prince
Of a faraway land,
Proud and shining.
1967
My love is in beauty.
The hand on my chest
Or the friendship it offers.
Cool breeze and
ghostly echos of us ...

I haven’t lost the caring
I no long care
One is the act
The other is in thought

Another for Anne-C
In Corby now, where darkness falls
like thistledown,
and Whimbrels call
and Curlews sleep,
there lies awake,
in pain,
a nataled girl:
Yet honey
is the look of her.
Despite her trials,
and clumsy doctors' ministerings,
she is
within my eyes
dark honey still.

happy-ness
carry that shit
where people can view it
don't be rolling your sleeves
up over it
trying to hold it tough
let it ooze
through those clenched teeth
taut lips peeled back
in smile
when anyone has the audacity
to question it
~~~~~~~~~~
prayhaps
this happiness is held
just for me to deeply drink
for a lengthy spring afternoon
in the sun
to savor
where questions
never belong
where people can view it
don't be rolling your sleeves
up over it
trying to hold it tough
let it ooze
through those clenched teeth
taut lips peeled back
in smile
when anyone has the audacity
to question it
~~~~~~~~~~
prayhaps
this happiness is held
just for me to deeply drink
for a lengthy spring afternoon

Soul heart speaks (collaboration by Souladareatease and Grace)
Gentle breeze caresses my cheek
Kisses gentle as ethereal fingers
Gently tucking my hair behind my ear
The shadow play of leaves dance
upon the forest floor
there my heart dances and wishes
for safe harbour
what desires eclipse your heart
indeed, what needs flows
as passion within flow
Eternal, the wish giving kiss
to guide thine eyes, truly
deserve only ever bliss,
blessing this native, land
to skip like stones down stream
knowing Your heart glows,
twirling like the leaves,
shaking...
Kisses gentle as ethereal fingers
Gently tucking my hair behind my ear
The shadow play of leaves dance
upon the forest floor

for safe harbour

Eternal, the wish giving kiss

deserve only ever bliss,

I am crazy must confess
And my head is such a mess,
Nothing else I can confess
Feel a bit the hopelessness,
Though I try much to impress
With the rhymes that I profess,
It is like a game of chess
Feeling caged and in distress,
So I try much to express
All this reason to obsess,
With your likes that seem timeless
And adorned in such finesse.
And my head is such a mess,
Nothing else I can confess
Feel a bit the hopelessness,
Though I try much to impress

All this reason to obsess,
With your likes that seem timeless
And adorned in such finesse.

Return As Found .... Broken
Do you remember Baby when you first entered in to my heart
Your love was the adhesive needed to hold together my various parts
I couldn't help but wonder why I was chosen
So many stumbles, trips and falls, I was so dam broken
My heart was nothing more than an abandoned tenement
Of use to nothing and no one, only Pain agreed to the rent
But you entered, and with soothing words and the softest caress
You flipped a condo out of this broken mess
There was that twinkle and spark that returned to my eyes
Just as...
Your love was the adhesive needed to hold together my various parts
