Lost Love Poems (2,650)

The fog drifts towards the window.
Dawns appearance still awaiting,
lack of ribbons of yellow light
profound in their absence.

Muted candlelight reflects realities.
Lines etched by life’s careful rendering
now drawn upon toughen flesh.
Hair of red now graced with white,
eyes of green still dance with dreams.

I have drawn life from the cup of love.
I have offered this self same cup to many,
far, far to many......

sigh

Dear God of my youth why do you set
such an errant path?
Why do you allow a view of the valley,
only then to wander into the barren desert.
Would a poet know thirst if she had never tasted water?

Tear not from my eyes the tears of passion.
For I would rather weep
than not know sorrow.
For born in the grief of loss
are the fruits of dreams.

Dawns arrival is announced with the Morning Dove’s song.
What was once black now tints to blue,
what was once hidden now rendered to sight,
Oh precious time of day when the greenest grass
offers a scent of Timothy to those who will inhale.

I brush the ash from the page
where these rendering have been placed,
the tears cannot be brushed from this melancholy poet.
I am sorry for having wronged others, alas
I now understand the wayward path
is born of my own footsteps.......

The tender dawn 1990

The tender dawn is breaking and so is my fragile heart.

Because I’m so alone in this world torn apart,

Another day I sit and prey this loneliness will end.

If only I could see tomorrow and it in find a friend.

But tomorrows dawn is breaking in today’s unsplendored way,

and in it I see only tears for all my yesterdays,

if only I could see the sky the dawn break just for me,

I’d see hope for tomorrow and let yesterdays fears free.

Black slippers
thong-toed strap
Hawaii in black raised on black
subtle, though significant.
White flowers adorn heel.
Black sole - thick, protective,
with concentric life rings
even-spaced, as if controlled.
These ever-widening circles
extend until they
fall off the edges
into the unknown.

Strap, once whole, now
dry, cracked, broken
taped together in an
attempt to salvage;
then taped again
and yet again
until little use remains –
only faded flowers and memories.
Still, one Hawaii intact
prevents moving forward
as it draws me into
the blackhole of your soul.

So lonely in this place
If you were with me now
My fingers would softly trace
The lines upon your face
And without further adieu
I would reach to touch you
Stirring soft feelings anew

What is it about being lonely
That makes me yearn for you only
It’s a reckless panacea of fantasies
Provoked by lying naked on my bed
While thoughts of you pound in my head
I can never make you love me
That truth is plain to see

Demanding from me is a mistake
It only makes my heart ache
And when push comes to shove
Sends me seeking my true love
I’ll find what I am looking for
Someone who let's love soar

You just use me up
Like a throw away cup
I’m finally done this time
Not returning to the crime
You’re like a thief in the night
Not doing what is right
You love taking what I freely give
As a taker that is how you live

What is your heart for?
Is your spirit rich or poor?
I need to stop washing up on shore
Focus on seeking real true amour
Beyond this reality and more

When you leave again you should know
This isn’t a revolving door anymore
I have to let you go right now
I just wish I knew how
To finally start the learning
And stop this incessant yearning
This I promise myself to do
Without you

My darling, wolf in sheep's clothing
If only I had known
That a face so magnificent
Housed a heart of stone

I should've noticed the venom in your kiss
But I was foolishly lost in love, in all it's bliss
When I finally did realize, it was already too late
You already had my soul
You had utter control

I remember your malicious gaze
Marring your pretty face
As you told me "Well, you weren't even worth the chase."
And I remember my heart silently shattering into millions of shards
Not once had I ever thought that this would be in my cards

I remember your words distinctly: "I was the predator and you were the prey"
It plays over and over again in my head like a film reel
Yet in all this hurt, I formed a heart of titanium and steel

My darling, wolf in sheep's clothing
You will never see me cry
The truth is, when push turned to shove, I got over you in the blink of an eye
So keep claiming to be this wonderful "predator"
In the end, I am still going to be The Discreditor

Somewhere down this winding road
that leads to neither you nor I
is a fork in the road.

Should you one day look for me
search no further than the end
of that curve in the path
where we met
and loved
and clung
to each other through
those days of warm sun and laughter

Was it only yesterday
you took my hand and gently
placed it upon your heart
and spoke of eternal Love
a kiss planted on my forehead
to build a dream on....

I remember the voice,
the smell of your skin,
the longing in your eyes...
the promise of us
yet to begin.

Though Time has come between us
through the years
Never shall regret
enter this faithful heart
and Love, feeling pangs
of desolation and despair
rests his weary head
to breathe
one last gasp
of hope.

Woman
Had love
Long ago, but
Only faded memories remain
Heartbroken

so smooth and
calm your waves

crystalline and
deep

sailing me splendidly
to otherworlds

oceans and
infinities
through persephone's realm

where I hear hades smile
libran mass a feather to your soul

I know she will let you enter
without a doubt
the way you enter me

so smooth

"the fiercest calm..."

your waves and
demeter cries
