Love Poems
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.

Didn't you?
Maybe I got to much spice for yah
Or you just ain't a fan of spicy food
Not sure why your starving me
There are plenty of spices too choose
You got me on that mood
I dont wanna be fighting you
Never wanted to, but you digging in
Was too low from you
Somebody else has dirter hands in all this
Who finally stepped up to take care of you
Its just perfect all at my expense,
Wouldn't want it any other way
Maybe it was my mistake.
What are you going to do?
If your counting now
You should count with the people close to you ...
Or you just ain't a fan of spicy food
Not sure why your starving me
There are plenty of spices too choose
You got me on that mood
I dont wanna be fighting you
Never wanted to, but you digging in
Was too low from you
Somebody else has dirter hands in all this
Who finally stepped up to take care of you
Its just perfect all at my expense,
Wouldn't want it any other way
Maybe it was my mistake.
What are you going to do?
If your counting now
You should count with the people close to you ...

Fata Morgana
I couldn't trust myself
This seed planted something in you
To rush the shallow lust
Let greed make old of what was new
Red wine
Spilled.
Wrap yourself in shallow cloth
The stain seeps deep
The flame encapsulates the moth
This seed planted something in you
To rush the shallow lust
Let greed make old of what was new
Red wine
Spilled.
Wrap yourself in shallow cloth
The stain seeps deep
The flame encapsulates the moth

Lovers rant.
light this candle and let it glow
at my window against the wind
lighting your heart’s way home again
from wherever you wander far away
A love we shared till you no longer cared
I’ll wait till I see your lying eyes looking at me
you’ll see a brand new me because I’m jealous
That he is inside you and it’s no longer me
his love was purer and newer than yours
he filled me in places you wouldn’t touch
your reflections faded within my iris
Yet I loved you too, sorrow lit my smile
Within your look I could see the deceit
I tried to...
at my window against the wind
lighting your heart’s way home again
from wherever you wander far away
A love we shared till you no longer cared
I’ll wait till I see your lying eyes looking at me
you’ll see a brand new me because I’m jealous
That he is inside you and it’s no longer me
his love was purer and newer than yours
he filled me in places you wouldn’t touch
your reflections faded within my iris
Yet I loved you too, sorrow lit my smile
Within your look I could see the deceit

Appearances Can Be Deceiving
Let me tell you a little story
about a girl who was so lovely.
She was the sweetest and such a charm,
until one day she broke my heart.
It all started back in '99,
I took a trip to Houston and she stopped calling me one night.
I’d wonder if I had done something wrong, if I was ever out of line.
I was only 19 and never imagined she’d be the cold-hearted kind.
I well recall, it was a Saturday afternoon;
she passed me by and didn't even say ‘how are you’.
She was holding hands with some dude.
She just kept walking, leaving me...
about a girl who was so lovely.
She was the sweetest and such a charm,
until one day she broke my heart.

kissing in the sun lit rain
Starving on this island
Intense longing for our souls entwined
Wishing your body was not only in my mind
A distance from you, I just can no longer bear
Into the sunset that draws you to me, I will stare
Moving all mountain, water and sky in my way
Only the space between us is now in play
And how to remove it
On my passion's way
To your wet kiss...
Intense longing for our souls entwined
Wishing your body was not only in my mind
A distance from you, I just can no longer bear
Into the sunset that draws you to me, I will stare
Moving all mountain, water and sky in my way
Only the space between us is now in play
And how to remove it
On my passion's way
To your wet kiss...

somewhere beyond which i have never been
is in the marvel
of your voice
how it breathes
like the rustling
of petals
before they open your kiss
erupting
all of a sudden
like spring
somewhere beyond
which i have
never been
is in the earthquake
of your eyes
and how their most
subtle tone
leaves me unfastened
i don't know how
the silence of your
mysteries can reveal
everything
not even the universe
is so expansive
of your voice
how it breathes
like the rustling
of petals
before they open your kiss
erupting
all of a sudden
like spring
somewhere beyond
which i have
never been
is in the earthquake
of your eyes
and how their most
subtle tone
leaves me unfastened
i don't know how
the silence of your
mysteries can reveal
everything
not even the universe
is so expansive

No Quick Fix ( I Am Not A Hero)
We missed again,,
our window
to re-connect
has passed.
Another event,
and you are racing out the door.
So busy these days,
that an invisible wedge
has positioned itself
between us.
I snuck into the room,
as instructed,
my hand across your back,
while you slept.
A wave of anxiety overcomes me
at the thought of penetrating you.
It never was an issue,
until the alcohol was gone.
And I can't bear to leave you unsatisfied,
contributing to another resentment of me.
In some ways, it is a relief ...

Intentions & Emotions
& I,
my belief to lay with you;
Entwined with desires,
unwrapping emotions,
Understanding your
Intentions,
(Those playful sexy
ways you take pride in
speaking of, to be as
adventurous as mine)
when we're
taking each other further
than we've traveled before
will make it encredibly perfect.

Love, is just a four letter word, like f**k... for opportunistic f**ktards who lie & cheat !
He sat next to me on the couch whilst sipping his glass of red as I tried to deescalate a situation via text a thousand miles away, whilst the Beatles strummed melodically in the background.
He then proceeded to pull out his phone and finger it as I spied his screen from the corner of my eye.
It was the other woman.
Well. It could’ve been his wife for all I know as I don’t know much, other than I struggled to trust this man when I saw these 3 lips upon the message thread......

Silent Vibe
All those days
I was inspired from the silence
Last words,
I spelled, “please stay”
Without a reply
Without any warn
Silence too, disappeared
Oh! my savior
Where to find my shadow?
Where it belongs?
Feel the pain.

lingered participles of time
What kind of a sick joke is this?
Unknown forces are messing with my mental state.
The angels I thought as my guardians are evil spirits of my ego, thirsty for a bloodshed and pneumatic massacre.
Love, passion, strength
have to be altered by
fury, apathy, fragility.
I hate emotions. I want to feel no more. I hate polarity.
I want to escape, smash that pendulum.
I'll never have you now, will I?
Feel you, touch your adonic lips
But you are the part of mine I love the most.
I hate the rest.
I want to die
and live...

between worlds
I walk alone in this cold world tonight
The bells chime like the sands of time
Been caught in a twilight zone again
Guessing who is wrong and who is right
Sitting on the fence wondering what to do
Thunder booms in through sky loudly
Mind wonders in between heaven and hell
I've been lost for a long time still stuck in this nightmare
Tied by these chains around my heart
Please let me let go of you finally completely
Trying to hold my head high from the bitterness
I never asked for the way you have treated me.
The bells chime like the sands of time
Been caught in a twilight zone again
Guessing who is wrong and who is right
Sitting on the fence wondering what to do
Thunder booms in through sky loudly
Mind wonders in between heaven and hell
I've been lost for a long time still stuck in this nightmare
Tied by these chains around my heart
Please let me let go of you finally completely
Trying to hold my head high from the bitterness
I never asked for the way you have treated me.
