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.

"Still."
We have fun.
We can talk about everything.
I get butterflies in my stomach every time I'm around you.
I can be myself with you, I don't need any shields nor masks.
I'm constantly attracted to you.
I can't imagine not having you in my life and not being in yours.
Our paths crossed because we were meant to save each other.
I'm in awe of you.
You complete me.
Sometimes people do crazy things.
Sometimes we screw it up for all the wrong reasons.
It doesn't mean they don't love you.
It means they got scared. They were...

because some things must be spoken
I haven’t time for eloquence
Or poetic effort
In this moment
Just the same, I cannot have the sun set
With these thoughts unformed.
It not that I have fresh, new concepts
To relate
It’s simply that I’m full of feelings
Needing outlet
They’re not even fresh new feelings
Yet they do not weaken or subside
As does the light at dusk
Yes, they ebb and flow so slightly
As your streams of hope which feed
This sometimes gushing sometimes waning
River in my heart and mind—
A torrent of affection and desire...
Or poetic effort
In this moment
Just the same, I cannot have the sun set
With these thoughts unformed.
It not that I have fresh, new concepts

Needing outlet
They’re not even fresh new feelings
Yet they do not weaken or subside
As does the light at dusk
Yes, they ebb and flow so slightly
As your streams of hope which feed
This sometimes gushing sometimes waning
River in my heart and mind—
A torrent of affection and desire...

silence
I wind my way through the onyx corridor
sending my regards to the celestial kingdoms
keeping my vows I hush my mind
not to disturb the chaste of thought
prepared in sacredness
taught the finer arts
still, so barbaric
I attune as I attend
there is value in silence
sending my regards to the celestial kingdoms
keeping my vows I hush my mind
not to disturb the chaste of thought
prepared in sacredness
taught the finer arts
still, so barbaric
I attune as I attend
there is value in silence

To walk apart
to be without
is to have forever winter
without hope of spring
For it is then hoped
that whatever was covered
will thaw and once again
be caressed by a warm and waiting hand
A voice is a tree
that grows in me
whose branches are enthralling
when its leaves kiss the skies
Where desires are green clouds
that roll on above me
but never settle fulfilled
to my blue earth
But to hold heaven
is when the rainbow in your smile
addresses the pages of your mind

Like melted dark chocolate and lips of rose
(¡)
One glance
time falls away
our youth swirls memories
between us
lush flashbacks
take us there
when all we knew
burned the midnight sun.
(¡¡)
His charisma
aged like fine wine
weakening resolve
{low cleansing breaths
stealthily sucked-in}
piercing sable eyes,
were velvet warmth always burned
a melted dark chocolate gaze
unrepentantly pours over
purposely pausing
on my lips ...

One Day
I long for you
The inevitable hour
Before which all others
Can but a prison be
Wandering my desires
Pace for pace til revealed
The shadows of my mind
Stirring as mists
Waiting the unveiling of light
Revealing you
Now but a conjuring
Who bewitches my heart
A wraith dancing among stardust
The glittering haze of my deepest dreams
I don't know your name
But you are known
As familiar as your touch
I have never felt
But long to hold
Beyond the circle of vision
You orbit
Birds...

The ring on my finger
The ring on my finger
Everytime I look at it
I think of her
I’m calmed by the thought
I find myself playing with it
Nonstop
All day
Thinking of her
I’m not longer looking.
No longer longing
For the eyes of others
The only one I want
She knows me
Knows my interest
Sees my face
And still, here we are
Everytime I look at it
I think of her
I’m calmed by the thought
I find myself playing with it
Nonstop
All day
Thinking of her
I’m not longer looking.
No longer longing
For the eyes of others
The only one I want
She knows me
Knows my interest
Sees my face
And still, here we are

I wonder…
I’m pretty certain that you care
You always have; it’s in your nature
What I am much less sure of is:
Would you want me as a lover?
Do you crave my body too?
Does my passion and desire
Drive you away?
Or ignite a fire?
Would we feel that magnetic pull
As before?
Yes, I believe that you still love me
In at least 1 of its many forms
But I fear you do not love me
In the way that I love you.
So I wonder, are my thoughts of you
A weight around your neck
As you try to swim
to a different shore?
I don’t want to...
You always have; it’s in your nature
What I am much less sure of is:
Would you want me as a lover?
Do you crave my body too?
Does my passion and desire
Drive you away?
Or ignite a fire?
Would we feel that magnetic pull

Yes, I believe that you still love me
In at least 1 of its many forms

In the way that I love you.

in a gaze
don't look at me...
a shy feeling inside me is tender to your touch
you smile my way and I avert my gaze
awkward honesty it hurts to feel this way
I desire you so deeply I ache
vulnerable to the truth
I burn in the moment
I step back from the flame that is my torment
bidden closer I tremble
shaky legs can take me no further
my confidence is tenuous when it comes to you
I shelter in the shadows
but my glitter betrays me
I shine in your presence
my eyes light up and i smile
my truth betrays...

Moment
With
Eyes closed,
I will
Bend my brow to yours,
And silently,
Unmoving,
We will
Love one another
Wildly,
And then,
With but a step back,
We will
Open our eyes
And peer a moment
Into each other’s souls,
And we will have
Naught
But love to share
Between
Ourselves,
And yet
Have love to spare.
Eyes closed,
I will
Bend my brow to yours,
And silently,
Unmoving,
We will
Love one another
Wildly,
And then,
With but a step back,
We will
Open our eyes
And peer a moment
Into each other’s souls,
And we will have
Naught
But love to share
Between
Ourselves,
And yet
Have love to spare.

What's the right amount of sorrow
When a beloved pet is dead
And a remembrance will borrow
Portions of grief for us to dread?
We cannot fathom she is gone
Almost as fast as she appeared
Or that the gap she leaves would spawn
So many eyeballs freshly teared.
Yet what else might we expect
When cats perish after eighteen years?
So I beg that you will not object...
To melancholy sonneteers...
Missing the slinky flanks and wire face
Giving laser beams a proper chase!
When a beloved pet is dead
And a remembrance will borrow
Portions of grief for us to dread?
We cannot fathom she is gone
Almost as fast as she appeared
Or that the gap she leaves would spawn
So many eyeballs freshly teared.
Yet what else might we expect
When cats perish after eighteen years?
So I beg that you will not object...
To melancholy sonneteers...
Missing the slinky flanks and wire face
Giving laser beams a proper chase!
