Best Long Lost Love Poems
Long Lost Love
Mine was the kiss you so used to miss, when I was just gone for the day.
Now I'm always here and ever so near, you couldn't be further away.
Mine were the eyes to reflect sunny skies, our future so bright, warm and clear.
Through torrents of tears and fighting my fears, I watched our blue sky disappear.
Mine was the voice you picked as your choice for every "I Love You" you heard.
Though it's still said every night before bed, my tone says I mean not a word.
Mine was the smile that lasted a while just hearing you call out my name.
Now when you call I feel nothing at all and I wonder if you feel the same.
Wanting to die as I'm living this lie and wading through rivers of tears,
mine is the heart that's been torn all apart, our love has been lost now for years.
-Jeannie Minor
In the darkness of the night,
with the beautiful stars above.
There's a lonesome Whippoorwill.
Calling out for his Dear love.
Crooning songs he sadly sings.
Wishing she comes back to him.
Memories of her by his side.
Pained his heart way deep inside.
Each night he wonders why?
She doesn't answer or replies!
Minutes turned into hours,
there's no response!
"Oh please Dear Love answer
me, just once!"
"Oh, where my Darling are you
tonight? I've been searching for
you day and night!"
His little heart can't take much
more! It is she who he adores.
Evenings drag on as he still
waits. Time will tell his coming
fate.
He called out one last time.
His last thoughts were of her,
on his mind.
While he looked for her. He did
not know. His precious love,
another Whippoorwill stole. His
precious love, another Whippoorwill
stole.
Sadly on that tragic day, from a
broken heart he passed away..
From a broken heart he passed
away.
There's a little nest that is tucked
away. Where his heartache ended,
and now he lays.
Later on his love returned. Saw
him laying still, and began to mourn!
Her cries were heard throughout
the night and in her grieving heart
he now resides.
Each day and night she sang to him,
and hoped to God, He was listening.
In the darkness of the night, she
breathed out one last sigh, and
forever closed her eyes.
She found herself on Angels wings,
and heard calls for her, singing.
She quickly flew to him in Love, to
start their new beginning.
If you listen closely and the night is still.
Up in the Heavens you can still hear,
the loving calls, of two Whippoorwills.

Special and you make this world
a better place. God bless you all...
High on a passing cloud there floats a dream
Never to be easily forgotten,
Devious destiny weaved its fierce scheme,
Turned my youth into a life so rotten.
The soft song of a Summer Breeze was gone,
But by then we had met and love had won.
How oft we trekked the hills and watched the dawn.
How oft we made love, happy so well done.
Carefree we roamed out our romantic days,
Many noticed silhouettes in moonlight.
How could I not shower her with sweet praise?
Alas she had cancer, love turned to plight.
The gilded leaves of autumn sigh her loss.
Her funeral I bore with a harsh cross.
If only I could feel
Your magic touch
That I've longed for
For an eternity it seems
Feel the love
Pure and unaltered
By time by distance
A lasting forever love
That has taken over
My very heart and soul
My whole being
Oh how I wish
This fervent wish
Could somehow be real
Suddenly
You are here beside me
We touch, we cry
We lose ourselves in love
Totally oblivious
To our surrounding
Totally enraptured
This feeling has taken
Over every part of me
Why have I been blessed
Why do I question it
You have returned to me
My dearest, my sweetest
My whole world suddenly
Is bright again
With much more meaning
I am overwhelmed
You are my love of loves
I'm your “Sweet Man”

A love poem for Cathie
Usually everyone sees past
What she was or what she might become
To them she is a glass cold and cracked
She bow down
He took her crown
Her love patrols
His money controls
she is open minded and transparent like the sea
But you know what you see
Her throne was strong
But now it felt like is gone
she have never been seen before
she looked for her treasure
but to find it stolen in spirits.
she cried a lot, but she was a sympathy box
She fought for her right
But looked like a rat
She is a princess
People believed she is a winless
She got hated, blackmailed and lost confidence
But still like air she’ll rise
She believed a day will come
Which she will be numb
Unexpectedly there was a change, Everything got rearranged
She saw right through her
She looked, but when she looked she saw something more
To her she is a water living and essential
She smiled as she cried, But she couldn’t try
She was a princess
with a priceless heart
she stood for her throne, and got it back
she learnt to never bow, and let someone take her crown.
To hold you again is all I can think of
To feel your body touching mine
To press your lips, to hear those words
Love words so tender in rhyme
Am I in heaven, have I left this earth
Touch me to prove you are real
My mind's all askew since your return
Is it really you that I feel
Read about love in all those books
Never appeared real until now
Cravings are almost too difficult to bear
To survive I'm wondering how
Then love falls softly into my lap
The world is singing once more
Love is what makes the world go round
Known the whole world o'er
To hold you again is all I can think of
To feel your body touching mine
Dedicated to all those rediscovering a long lost love

Long Lost Love
Mine was the kiss that you so used to miss,
when I was just gone for the day.
Now I'm always here and I'm ever so near,
but you couldn't be further away.
Mine were the eyes that saw all sunny skies,
a future so bright, warm and clear
but the torrents of tears and me fighting my fears,
made all but the blues disappear
Mine was the voice
that you picked as your choice
for every "I Love You" you heard
and even though it's still said every night before bed
my tone says I don't mean a word
Long lost love...
oh where did it go?
I know it won't change
but I still need to know.
Long lost love...
the fire has died
a promise is all I have left by my side.
We're watching each other grow old...
left here with nothing to hold...
and nothing is ever as cold....
as long lost love.
Wanting to die as I'm living this lie
and wading through rivers of tears,
mine is the heart that's been torn all apart,
our love has been lost now for years
Long lost love...
oh where did it go?
I know it won't change
but I still need to know.
Long lost love...
the fire has died
a promise is all I have left by my side
We're watching each other grow old....
left here with nothing to hold...
and nothing is ever as cold...
as long lost love
Mine was the smile that lasted a while
just hearing you call out my name.
Now when you call I feel nothing at all
and I wonder if you feel the same?
Long lost love...
oh where did you go?
I know it won't change
but I still need to know.
Long lost love....
the fire has died
a promise is all I have left by my side
We're watching each other grow old...
left here with nothing to hold...
and nothing is ever as cold...
as long lost love.
We're watching each other grow old.
We're left here with nothing to hold....
and nothing is ever as cold....
as long lost love.

Haunted by a long- lost love,
searching the heavens up above
my lover is all I can dream of.
The gilded leaves of Autumn sigh
as his eyes close to say goodbye;
I kiss his lips and pray as I cry.
On a passing cloud there floats a dream,
as I see him fishing downstream
with the Lord by his side he is seen.
Silhouettes in Moonlight,
dancing to the sounds of the night
as the autumn turns into winter gleaming lights.
The soft song of a Summer Breeze,
jasmine nodding leaves mingle in the trees,
my lover is all I can think of as I fall to my knees.

Apparently- adopted at birth, I
was timely told this when I turned twelve.
Though always adoring adoptive parents-
so oft turned thoughts to my mom's long-lost love.
My birth mother, most meaningfully would
rebuild roots and resolve rumors which I
diligently dismissed and dared dreamed false-
tried telling thoughts- she is genuinely good.
Youth yielded to adulthood; pursuance passed.
Then, one distinct day a caller came crashing
in my life; lost love loomed- luckily to be found!
My birth mom, brilliantly beaming- found me!
Lost love- now forever found! Puzzles perceived!
We soon connected, comingled, caught up.
The "why, when, where" my sacred start began;
the sharing, saying- from which womb I came.
So oft turned thoughts to my mom's long-lost love;
My birth mom, brilliantly beaming- found me!
I should have done the right thing
But my naivety cost me a lot ,
Now I’m haunted by your lost love and loss,
Your smile and face I can’t forget ,
If rivers and springs flow fall into oblivion ,
Your beauty and trait I can’t forget ,
Your sweet voice tinkled my heart
any time you speak ,
but dissuaded by wrong imagination…
Imagination of losing you to some one else ,
Which turned me into a jealous beast ,
Oh! ,I failed!!,I failed by treating you badly ,
Which made you move out of my life
into the forest of no return---Death.
Now haunted by a long lost love
I lie on my bed still reflecting.
Reflecting…
How life has been…

Out of the blue
I think of you
Who is to blame?
For loss of flame
Our love has gone
To a dark dawn
I feel the pain
Tears down the drain
For in the past
Our love was vast
Now death is near
Stop sign to fear
I see my gloom
I feel the doom
We shut the door
Live in the core
Love is now hard
We build the barred
The sad is deep
For now, we weep
We take the pills
To stop the ills
No love for hire
No more the fire
Blind eyes that speak
Mad mind so bleak
Take back the strain
Ease off the brain
Come back to me
That I may plea
Your love be mine
To this, we dine.

If only I could feel
Your magic touch
That I've longed for
For an eternity it seems
Feel the love
Pure and unaltered
By time by distance
A lasting forever love
That has taken over
My very heart and soul
My whole being
Oh how I wish
This fervent wish
Could somehow be real
Suddenly
You are here beside me
We touch, we cry
We lose ourselves in love
Totally oblivious
Totally enraptured
This feeling has taken
Over every part of me
Why have I been blessed
Why do I question it
You have returned to me
My dearest, my sweetest
My whole world suddenly
Is bright again
With much more meaning
I am overwhelmed
You are my love of loves
I'm your “Sweet Man”
It's been years but it feels like it's only been a week,
All this time from trying to get over it I've become a little weak.
Though as all my people know I bounce back with no problem,
Cause my people looks at me to be the leader to face any situation and solve em.
I have so much success and at times there will be stress,
So much pain in my heart but I know this is only a test.
I am spiritually stronger but I need something or someone to heal my heart,
I need love and I need someone who's been on my mind from the start.
I can't tell you who she is but we both want the same thing,
But she doesn't want it now because now she only wants to have a fling.
Though I understand that and as strange as it sounds I'm willing to wait,
Sure, we hang out and trip out so that should be a piece of cake.
But what's going to happen when one of us or both of us start to reminisce,
What will happen when one of us or both of us feel the urge to kiss.
I know...I know...I got it bad right now and it's plain to see,
But my curiosity is going wild of the question if we'll ever be.
She knows who she is and she knows I'm here when she's ready,
I'm happy we still friends but I can't wait to become her teddy. ;)
If you're reading this baby girl I want you to know I adore you,
I want you to know if nobody else does I will treat you right.
Sex is not what I'm looking because it not the ultimate satisfaction,
Like I've said before...love is an action....
Tell me who to love
Tell me it's not real
Make be believe it's immoral
Just because she's gone doesn't mean she isn't real
I can see her everyday
I hold her hand even though you can't see it
Tell me it's wrong to not be able to say goodbye
Tell me I'm wrong for not letting go
Make me believe that I'm crazy
Just because you don't understand me
Doesn't mean she isn't still here for me
Tell me I'm wrong for reusing to release her cold hand
Tell me I'm wrong for wanting to be immortal
Just so I can see her breathe again
Don't tell me it's immoral to want to jump in to join her
Don't tell me you can't see her cold lifeless hand as I dive in the water
Make me believe that I'm just crazy
But losing her was not just a dream
Tell me you can see me now
Tell me you can see us together
Make me believe you couldn't live without me
If only I could feel
Your magic touch
That I've longed for
For an eternity it seems
Feel the love
Pure and unaltered
By time by distance
A lasting forever love
That has taken over
My very heart and soul
My whole being
Oh how I long for
This fervent wish
Could somehow be real
Suddenly
You are here beside me
We touch, we cry
We lose ourselves in love
Totally oblivious
Totally enraptured
This feeling has taken
Over every part of me
Why have I been blessed
Why do I question it
You have returned to me
My dearest, my sweetest
My whole world suddenly
Is bright again
With much more meaning
I am overwhelmed
You are my love of loves
I'm your “Sweet Man”
