Last Edited Lost Love Poems (60)

In your journey down the hall,
Please wish me softly a goodnight call,
And as you close the bedroom door,
Gently, please, don't make it roar.

For as my eyelids slowly close,
I feel myself drift to repose,
And I begin to dream once more,
Of children's laughter I adore.

I miss them dearly as they played,
Their happiness, it never strayed,
They made me smile, they made me see,
The joy that comes from being free.

I loved to care for them each day,
To cherish them in every way,
To watch them grow, it was a sight,
But now they're angels in the night.

Among the stars they softly roam,
Guiding me through life's unknown,
Even through the darkest night,
They're angels now, among the light.

And I hope dearly, for someday,
We'll meet again, in some small way,
And then no one will say goodbye,
For none of us will ever fly

Don’t say that time has come for you to go,
How could you say, “We’ve never made it right”?!
And now since our love has made you strong
You say that it is time for us to part, how come?!
You’re looking far ahead for new horizons,
You say I've pinioned your wings so long, till now,
So that you shouldn’t look for greener pastures,
So that you'd dream abandon for this meager love.
How could you love regard in such a light?!
How could you love and dedication ever doubt?!
Some time your only stronghold was our love,
Now that you're free our love no longer counts.
Oh when in love don’t ever hope it is long run,
Love will mature in its course, then duly die.

Within this flower of a rose
A single drop of dew
Cascades its fount, and now are tears
Cried for the man she knew.

Dainty lashes - wet with tears
Emotion over flows
Her heaving bosom ; - dare no one say
That moss about her grows.

Too soon forgot, and racked with sobs
She really knows not why;-
It was only for a few weeks,
And he was just another guy.

I'd kid myself - I have now a heart left to break?
(Seven days ago, that night and afternoon).
Your so cold, and do tonight, this heart forsake
With cruelty - (and I'm so glad I saw it soon); -
In too deep already, and on the make
(As now my heart does sink in bluest gloom); -
One night of passion - and then left all alone -
Other hearts I've met - though not a heart of stone.

Seven days ago - do I deceive myself?
You touched me deep inside - one night of passion.
Though now it seems you've left me on the shelf
Or is spite now in lovers back in fashion?
Oh well at least I won't feel all bereft
Even though (it seems) you took my cash in -
I'm just glad I never bought you sapphire
Not out of pocket too much, little liar.

Have you no heart? (Or what is left of it) -
Is it all you want - a one-night stand?
Well I'd go on and put my foot in it
Had you a heart (you say) that you command?
I ask why tomorrow - my worst critic
(Which is myself) my heart you reprimand.
Well, Ms what can I say? Now you've hurt me
Best look for love elsewhere now - well surely?

I take up my guitar;- full of blue promise,-
As I remember you;- how much I miss;-
To find a chord,- (a favorite of mine);-
And strum down soft and think of first love's bliss.

As I work my way across the blues scale,-
Notes caress the air in sound's subtle veil;-
(In what was just before a hollow box);-
And maybe in the next world love won't fail?

I'm not drinking tonight;- my head is clear;-
When desire is gone,- there's neither love nor fear,-
(I used to drink alone most ev'ry night);-
To dream the dream of you;- when you were near.

Well,- love is true,- and love there still remains,-
In ashes now;- burnt by an old flame;-
(Caress of blues;- that now softly turns to jazz);-
I tell myself that first love's cut can heal again.

Many loves have come and gone;- yet there are none;-
That set as true in night as first love's sun;-
None I remember were as true as ours;-
My heart transported,- as my hand doth strum.

If tears were left,- then maybe I could cry;-
And lose my disappointment to the sky;-
(As jazz turns to blues,- then softly back again);-
If for just one night, you would now with me lie.

Though over time your memory doth fade;-
It's all I have;- the memories we made;-
As each new chord hangs softly in the air;-
This I recall;- as each blue note is played.

I've had too many women
Drunken too much booze
Been lost inside the city
With too much choice to choose.

I've tried too much of this
And done too much of that
Slept around, got on the piss
And been with alley cats.

Gambled, fought, and brawled
(Although I am a lover)
My younger years were wild and lost
My passion a hot smother.

Ambition hard has been a vice
My feelings have been token
Now my souls as cold as ice
For my heart has been broken.

I walk along the street
And I'm blue and lonely.
My childhood hurts this love
For my one and only.

Searching other's eyes
For love's deep abyss.
The ocean in my soul
Drowns in a stranger's kiss.

I'm lost without a woman
Directionless and vain.
I seek what is not common
In this world of pain.

Oh for a stranger's eyes
To then return that glance.
The ocean in her soul
Cries for a lost romance.

He tries to kiss away her tears
That flow like rivulets of melted lead
To her pillow.

Inconsolable the salty flood
Courses wetly down the
Anguished aspect of her face -
As she cries out her sorrow.

For he has been unfaithful
(She knows it, though she hasn't proof).
She shoves him rudely away
To sleep in a separate bed;-
And they will part tomorrow.

Dianna that the moon would tonight rise
And keep such hours as you walking the street.
I was twenty-five and lonely - no surprise
Tonight finds me where lust and money meet.
And having searched for love in stranger's eyes
I felt the need for an erotic feast.
So once again I found myself in Kings Cross -
In the fever of the night where souls are lost.

Sydney nights hang heavy in the summer
Heat oozes in the nighttime seamlessly
And when I saw her she was not a stunner*
(A young man marches on now dreamless he)
An invitation now to come with her
(Like Coleridge I'd found a "sunless sea").
Now somewhere in my dreams you still abide -
Although used by society and tossed aside.

I thought I'd try my best inside my memory
Although how did it all come down to this?
Aside from life and all its petty jealousy
I sought and had found my midnight mistress.
The act pedestrian and every day
For you should I settle as a conquest?
Something bored and maybe even banal -
(She was up there paying off her credit cards).

I don't think I can fall in love again
It hurts too much - and I don't understand
Women all they want - my physicality
They want me - yet they don't - my animality.

Across the net, I offer up my love -
Or pain's miss understanding (now it seems)
Who wants this man who's haunted? (an old cove)
Who seeks affection - but a painful dream.

I cannot risk my love (as if a bet)
If only money - who cares if it's lost?
I cannot risk my heart upon the net
I have the price but cannot pay the cost.

So I'm alone and lonely - no more tears
After drinking feelings are but numbed
Washed away too many nights - no piety
I'm faithless even in my new sobriety.
