Lost Love Poems (2,650)

down by the cold sea there lives a wild swan
who floats high on the harbour till all tides are gone
all alone in this world she sails by her leave
and the heart of this viewer forever she'll thieve

as dawn gathers shadows about its own hand
the white swan sings melodies broken in sand
and if you do hear her for haunted you'll be
as your mind floats like rivers down to the sea

the heart of a woman in the guise of a bird
floating on old dreams that outgrew the world
and every summer she's there and she's past
to places where light and love seldom do last

some say the wild swan was once but a pair
so split by some bullets that flew through the air
and around those same bullets was a terrible lie
that stole all the beauty from out of the sky

No picture no message Picture or no pic
what's that all about were all just the same
Your on here for dating It's a funny old business
not messing around THE DATING GAME
Just how do you know
from a pic he's the one
He could be married
and just looking for fun
He may want to fleece you
and put through hell
Pray tell me ladies
just how can you tell
He maybe a monster
that puts you through pain
All from a picture
you fell for in vain
I would like to meet you
you might be the one
Some men are silent
quite and shy
So the next time your looking
give a no pic a try

Walking with you, talking
Smiling, hand in hand
I recall those days of ours
And how it all came to an end

You'd never known my heart
The million things it had for you
But soon came the day, I realised
My love was not enough for you

A peace breakup, was a great deal
That brimmed my eyes with tears
Pierced my heart with infinite thorns
Gone are the days, and so has the years

Just mist of faded memories linger
With time and again gone in flames
Nothing of feel is left to feel
Burning down, kissing flames

Dancing on thorns, it tickles my veins
No more pain is left to endure
Eyes drained, like draught of rain
I am out of breath to ensure

Living is no regret or sly guilt
Moments come and pass by
Lifting my spirit once more
I bid you, a thousand goodbye...

Waiting here all alone , sitting on the sofa with my phone
Since you left me as your precious stone
Never know why our love hasn't grown

Nights and days seem gloomy and cloudy
When i think about our memory
I loved you and you loved me
And we didn't care about anybody
The world was only for you and me

The cold wind makes me shiver
The dark of night kill my feeling deeper

Your leaving gives me a nightmare
And i keep it myself not to share
Because it's all about you and me
My love for you will live eternally

YOU CRY FOR SOMETHING.
YOU WANT FOR SOMEONE.
YOU LUST AFTER THEM.
GREED FEELS YOUR HEART.
YOUR MIND BECOMES UNSETTLED.
YOUR WANTS ARE YOUR MAIN FOCUS.
ONCE YOU OBTAINED YOUR WANTS, NEEDS & DESIRES.
TO KNOW YOU HAVE WON OVER THAT PERSON.
KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
YOU QUICKLY WANT TO MARCH TO A DIFFERENT TUNE.
YOU START TO BORED.
KNOWING THE CHASE & THRILL IS GONE.
NOW YOU THINK THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.
NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW YOU HAVE CONNED THEIR MIND & STOLE THEIR HEART.
TOOK THEIR LOVE & IN RETURN GAVE THEM A HEART MADE OF STEEL.
A TRAIL OF TEARS IN THE WAKE OF YOUR DEPARTURE.
CAUSE FOR YOU IT'S JUST THE CHASE.....

Sweet fragrant bouquet

Impregnated and impressed upon the bed linen

He has returned home yet his aroma lingers

Enrapturing sensations

Of warmth and love

A ball of unconsuming fire

Glowing and rotating in the midst of my solar plexus

Yearning for the deep intimacy and affection shared over the last few hours.

He will return for he is trustworthy

Enwrapped in an angel face,

I sense him and know him,

I worry not as he will come back to me

As sure as the sun rises over the horizon

My sweet angel will dawn with glorious muscular wings of flight

For his heart is entwined in the midst of mine.

His wings are sprouting while his shoulders broaden

To carry the weight heavily leaden upon his mind

Through the transition he knows he needs to endure.

I pray he takes shelter in the Almighty

That covers him in a protective shield

Alas those wings never singe.

The perfume from his body I will not wash away

I will inhale his intoxicating aroma till I see him again

And dream the sweetest of thoughts …

Here I am just as you found me
A stone shaped like a heart will be
Once where you stumbled upon

Unlike you I will always be here
Forever my dear I am near
Because I am just a stone

It was such a pure delight
When you held me so tight
In your grasp I became love

After all the leaves turn gold
When at last we became old
I was left just as you found me

My best friend he lay dying
All alone, just me and him
I knew no one could help him now
Life's thread was getting thin.

I'd built a campfire out of deadwood
Wrapped him in his blanket tight
Watched the campfire take on the darkness
The sunset welcomed night.

Put the coffee on from habit
Knowing he couldn't drink
Hoping the smell would comfort him
Giving me time to think.

This trip was one of many made
Twenty years and more
Two old friends fishing the big lakes
And watching eagles soar.

I don't know what spooked his horse
He'd been mountain bred and born
Something made him rear and fall
Pinned my pardner beneath the horn.

His lungs were crushed beyond talking
His eyes were still alert
I eased his saddle beneath his head
He tried hard to hide his hurt.

I masked the tears that misted my eyes
There was no time to cry
Somehow I had to have the strength
To watch my best friend die.

I told him I was plumb helpless
I had done all I could do
But I would stay with him through the end
Then the hurt and tears came through.

His hand moved softly over mine
And he raised his finger high
His gaze seemed fixed beyond the stars
And he pointed to the sky.

His lips were slowly moving
Although they didn't say a word
I sensed he was talking
To a presence I'd not heard.

"Is that God you're talking to?"
I asked, trying to understand
His head moved slightly sideways
As did the pressure from his hand.

I looked upward where he's dpointed
But first didn't see a thing
Then I sensed and felt the beat
Of something nearing on a wing.

As the full moon cleared the peaks
An owl gave it's call
Shadows stirred of things unknown
And I watched in quiet awe.

I remember a phrase from long ago
Or had it been whispered from the skies
"To behold and angel on the wing
You must use your heart for eyes".

Magic was clearly in that moonlit glade
Losing my fear of my friend's death
A look of peace replaced his pain
As he drew his final breath.

"Is it angels?" I asked quietly
A final nod, then all alone
I watched those angels in the moonlight
As they flew my old friend home.

the cafe was closing
and the air was darker
than age
Mary was fixing
her order
and her world
had become
like a cage


will you still see me
on Sunday?
will you wear that dress
and look nice..?
but you know
that a question
ain't a question
when you
got to ask it twice..

and the sparrows
still play
in the cornfields
where we used
to make love
and you'd sing..

ain't it funny
how something
is nothing
when nothing
was once everything?

I drove down there
around midnight
past farms
that seemed
to be free

but I knew
one day
that I'd buy one
and that
would be the end
of me

talk of music
and college
of dance halls
lawyers and gown
but it's hard
to dance with a roughneck
when a banker's hand
owns town


she was getting tired
of me
my work, my car
and my dark
and I looked to the heavens
for answers
and saw nothing but stars
and a lark

"I heard she married a doctor"
my friend Dave
did say
later on

and I smiled
like it meant
nothing to me
and got sick
when I knew
he was gone

now the sparrows still sing
in the cornfields
neath the mountains
where she
used to sing

aint it funny
how something
is nothing
when nothing
was once everything

and her car, her car
is a dream.

Thoughts drift, to a special time
Contented together, human vines
No love could linger, that we knew
Imminent parting, silent clues

You walked away, but could not leave
Eyes and action, could not deceive
Gradually, reality set the scene
Acceptance, what could have been

Struggle faded, as time passed
Fate controller, our future cast
Rotation of time, new events
Hope granted, new dreams sent

Whatever outcome, emotions confirmed
Through daily life, a world turns
Butterfly flutters, within a hollow
One step at a time, side-steps-sorrow

Pandora's box, with hidden depths
Waits to be opened, can one expect
Love's fire's, still burning true
Or fizzled-faded, in situations new.....
