Lost Love Poems (2,650)

She talked of him filled with love,
But never could remember what his name was,-
And how love - how it filled the air,
When no one was there,
In such despair,
No one here cares,-

He disappeared into that night,
Caught the last ride out of town and took the first flight,-
For a ride from then onto now,
Where no one is allowed,
Oh, so better than thou,
No one here cares how,--

Her angel cried,
His demon smiled,
Together such beautiful music,
A word to the wise,--

She lost love and gained love to hate,
But never knew how to lose her faith,-
And how life - how it gained wear and tear,
Beyond disrepair,
Nothing is fair,
And no one here cares,-

He came back one sunny summer day,
He saw her alone and merrily went on his way,-
For the ride that made a star in the sky,
Where no one else dared to try,
Some star's never die,
And no one cares why,--

Her angels wept,
His demons ran wild,
Together such intoxicating music,
A word to the wise--

A heart full of love
given: expecting the same
but waiting in vain

The leaves on the trees
are starting to change and will soon fall ...
Can feel the chill in the air more and more ...
The hope of spring and warmth of summer
for me , gone forevermore ...

I held on to my heart's dreams ..
still wished to the very end
on Love's grace, it seems ....

But winter is slowly approaching ,
days when snow starts falling ...
And yet, here I am.... all alone ...
my heart grieving
for even Love's pains
have not turned it to stone ...

Like Arwen , a year from losing her love ...
but for me , only in my mind & heart ,
I walk in solitude
through the fallen leaves ... amongst the trees ...
feeling sorrow I can not fully speak of ...
Only comfort is the caress on my face
of a chilly autumn breeze ...
And like her , with cloak around me,
I lay on the forest floor ...
With closed eyes, in my imagination ...
I behold my longed for Love
as in a vision ...
Waiting ... at me smiling ...gently inviting ...
with hand in his, together, to enter Love's door ...
no more desolation ... only joyful anticipation ...

We can try our best.... like I really do ....
But it seems , many times,
the one we most badly want,
we simply don' t get to keep ...
And with a heavy sigh,
before the ache gets to feel too deep,
that hopeful heart is, once more, put to sleep ...

For each instance,
it eats at one's resolve ...
The steps a little slower,
the smiles with less sparkle , a bit fainter ...
The laughs grow fewer ,
the trace of sadness in one's eyes
become undeniably clearer ...

Yet there is precious life to live productively,
Remaining years that
can still be spent more meaningfully ...
These are all nevertheless doable,
though, perhaps,
with a spirit more subdued,
reflective and humble ...

Many things in life
are so fluid, unsure, and everchanging ...
But one thing undoubtedly is immutable ...
That the human heart is made for loving ,
thrives better when giving & sharing ,
however one may waste time in denying ...

For again the night is moving slow
and many a poet is cursed to know
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo

In tenement buildings and boarding rooms
lie men who dreamt of being grooms
Have known evenings, mornings, afternoons,
measured out their lives with coffee spoons

But onwards as we surely try
to flower and bloom before we die
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky

Daddy wont you keep me safe, daddy wont you keep me safe, Im only two, I depend on you, daddy wont you keep me safe.
Daddy, please dont walk away, daddy stay with me today, daddy dont go, I love you so, daddy please, dont you know?

its all shaking down
the leaves on the trees
the smell of smoke
on a summer breeze
when there isn't mercy
there to please
all love is lost
like the winter freeze
like castaways
on seven seas
life's lonely lot
in minor keys
Hallelujah

At the end of the night
It’s just you and I
My cold indifference grew stronger
If only your touch made me feel alright
We’re seemingly islands apart
If only we were running down the terminal
To catch the last flight
Destination unknown…
Can’t wait until morning
I’ll drift off to sleep and forget
Wake and feel nothing at all
But these numb feelings can’t be held to the fire
You’re all I got and my true hearts desire.
I’m not letting you go….
So everything I have… I’ll bare
Dancing away all regret and fear
This night might be mundane
But It’s all we got
We might be ordinary
But together we spark
Tonight is however we want
Tonight, together, forever your flame
This night was agonizing
Until we floated away….

Six years I watered your garden
Pruned your trees Everyone admired the roses now six years later you have said it was not good enough.Look at the orchids how big they are now I kept the weeds away..Every every evening I watered those beautiful babies people came from near and far to admire and asked me would Icare for their garden as I cared for yours
.No, I was so committed to your garden
