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.

How did we arrive at a place were we have no love for each other
No compassion
No empathy
The refigerator is empty
And cold
Letting go of the handle
No matter how many times we've Been to the alter
Why are we still broken?
Sing praises
Shouting loud
Being uplifted and only he can see
Did someone brush his calling off of me by a casually touch?
When will love arise again
I've sacrificed more than I wanted to
This Foundation is awaiting restoration
How many times do we have to go to the alter before you fix us
Have...

Love conquers All ?
Love conquers all,
Or does it just faciilitate a hedonistic fall?
Maybe I am too bitter,
To change,
My philosophy is flawed,
From years of reckless contemplation,
Damned for renewed visions,
Cultural warlords bellow their dissapproval,
I cup my heart in defiance,
Knowing emotions run free,
Like deer amidst savanah sunsets,
I repent against the Storms,
Torn between tradition and inspired visions,
Truth and accepted wisdom,
...

Taught
Her silence, speaks
Deep dark voice
I begin to understand
She taught, I learned
She taught me
What, and
How long
Patience means
She taught me
Why today’s patience
Worth better tomorrow
and, tomorrow will come
Someday
Deep dark voice
I begin to understand
She taught, I learned
She taught me
What, and
How long
Patience means
She taught me
Why today’s patience
Worth better tomorrow
and, tomorrow will come
Someday

When Tears No Longer Fall
When Tears No Longer Fall
I try to cry but the tears just will not fall
I want to talk to you but you no longer call
When someone hurts you it hurts me worse
My eyes are now like a deserted thirst
I still feel the pain deep inside of my heart
Though I know you think of me not when we are apart
I wait by my phone but I never from you get a text
I wait for you to come to me but I am never next
My eyes burn like the sand on the desert floor
Just when I think I do not want to cry I want...
I try to cry but the tears just will not fall
I want to talk to you but you no longer call
When someone hurts you it hurts me worse
My eyes are now like a deserted thirst
I still feel the pain deep inside of my heart
Though I know you think of me not when we are apart
I wait by my phone but I never from you get a text
I wait for you to come to me but I am never next
My eyes burn like the sand on the desert floor
Just when I think I do not want to cry I want...

Forgive Me
Forgive me baby
I just can’t help it
since I’ve slid into your lead
It’s not an unruly game
we know it so well since it began
and you’ve taught me how
How to love and how to grow
Grow patience to pay more attention
There isn’t an easy excuse
for me to refuse
I ponder but still confuse
why no one’s gonna teach me
how not to look at your beauty
how not to love you as much
I hope I won’t love you such
but you have to excuse me
I just can’t help it
whenever you appear
I...
I just can’t help it

There isn’t an easy excuse

What that may be, you will never see.
You my love are the stunningly beautiful garment that I never got to wear.
How i would just stare, watch as you move like perfection in the air.
You my love are the exquisite tears you cry at the movie theatre, yet I haven't attended a show for four years.
How our love made my heart dance, like we was living in a movie romance.
You my love was my last dance, candle lit movement candlewaxed around my chest.
How my breathing falls to your glance, we my love, missed our chance.
My love you are rain.
My love you are...
How i would just stare, watch as you move like perfection in the air.
You my love are the exquisite tears you cry at the movie theatre, yet I haven't attended a show for four years.
How our love made my heart dance, like we was living in a movie romance.
You my love was my last dance, candle lit movement candlewaxed around my chest.
How my breathing falls to your glance, we my love, missed our chance.
My love you are rain.
My love you are...

Purpose from Above
I've been reborn in a million ways
I've lived through thousands of days
I've taken hundreds of paths
And kept tens of people close
All for a purpose from above
One Purpose and that's Love.
I've lived through thousands of days
I've taken hundreds of paths
And kept tens of people close
All for a purpose from above
One Purpose and that's Love.

Open Up (3)
let me into your mind
and start
to let me in to your
beating heart
I'll let you into mine
feel free
to penetrate
inside of me
let's open up
the in between
releasing the power
of the unseen
energy which flows
through you
flowing strongly
through me too
a twisting braided
current runs
back and forth
as we become
someone greater
than alone
a melody
not just a tone
let me into your mind
and start
to let me in to your
beating...

blue trust
i'm hurting tonight
a dark cloud presses in on me
with self condemnation knowing I fail miserably
at any type of committed relationship
I break trusts
when pain or fear threatens me
betraying those I most love
I sometimes come off so arrogant
it's not me really
my heart is soft, an easy target
beguiled by the world as it is
it stalks me much like a wolf does
watching for any sign of weakness
and when my guard is down it attacks
knowing I falter at doing what's right
when afraid or...

online dating
In that moment, and in between,
words are found, both dim and gleam.
In our thoughts do they convene,
breathing life into romantic dream.
Was an afternoon on Saturday
that met did I, a nice new friend.
Online chats, and games we play
Where laughs, and smiles, and joys ascend.
Should I bring her sweets or bouquet?
I know... first be friends, and then addend.

Mercy on the Beach
Together we went down to say hello
to the black and silver sea.
Away from the noise and the lights,
to rest on the cool soft sand.
The shape we made hidden in the nights new darkness.
And all that we could see could not see us.
And the earth and the sea cared not if I was with you or you were with me.
And the night said nothing of if we even should be.
to the black and silver sea.
Away from the noise and the lights,
to rest on the cool soft sand.
The shape we made hidden in the nights new darkness.
And all that we could see could not see us.
And the earth and the sea cared not if I was with you or you were with me.
And the night said nothing of if we even should be.
