Best Lost Loveheart Poems
She’s just an old memory of a younger man’s dreams
An image of love hard to find
I can still see her eyes, taste the joy of her lips
In the deep recesses of my mind
Hair that was flowing, a smile that was glowing
An angel with earthly charms
Felt her heart beat in the tropical heat
Got lost in her loving arms
Sometimes I wonder if it was only a dream
An old sea story that I told
But I remember those eyes like a radiant beam
A treasure greater than gold
I wonder now if she waited on shore
With the fire in her heart still burning
And I wonder if there were tears in her eyes
Realizing I would not be returning
She’s just an old memory that haunts me today
A storybook love affair
A blanket, a beach and two bodies entangled
On a tropical island somewhere.
Something evil this way comes
Sure as the rising of the Son
A single heart left to bleed
A lost soul with a dying need
When love proves it doesn’t care
In creeps darkness and despair
Angry voices from deep with-in
Scream I’m a fool once again
I now make my soul like a cave
It’s the darkness that I now crave
Around my heart I shall build a moat
With blood sacrifices unto the goat
Deep in darkness as a soul can be
Father of darkness come feed on me
She destroyed the love in my soul
I do pray that hate fills up the hole
Troubled souls with hallow voices
In this life we all make choices
My choices have left me degraded
I now hate the person I created
Into darkness away from the Son
Something evil this way comes
Yea, I posted this for Deborah's contest.
Believe it or not this is who i used to
be. Poetry is a truly amazing tool when
it comes to change, it transformed this
into the man I am. All I can say about
that, "Praise be the Power of God".
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But your lies will cease to hurt me
You think that you have finally won
But don't think I'll let you burn me
I'll sit and smile and make you think
I know nothing of what you do
But secretly I'll make you see
The last laugh will be on you
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But your decet will hurt no more
You won't see me cry a singel tear
As I watch you walk out that door
Don't think that you can go astray
And plan on coming back
I don't believe in forgiveness
I'd rather have a heart attack
My love for you has slowly died
I buried it today
I built a wall around my heart
To keep all men away
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words can break much more
They can take your heart and leave the pieces
Shattered all over the floor
Take my letter to her, O Messenger!
Yes, totally washed are its words and phrases
A deed of my flooding eyes I couldn’t deter
The tornado of tears accumulated for ages
The storm of anguish concealed in heart
Washed all urges of soul that flowed from pen
The torrents rumbling from the start
Once started couldn’t be stopped there and then
Her perception will be triggered, I am sure
This blank sheet will reveal all that I meant to say
The power of love will her instincts conjure
My feelings, my urges won’t go astray
Tell her, that the lustrous mansion of pride and ego
Is falling to pieces like the house of cards
The dark alleys of life that lost their glow
In a state of disrepair, description beyond words
The King of Diamond has lost the game
A player is lucky to hold the three A’s
Lost is all the glory and fame
Built in years and lost in days
His eyes craving for your enchanting face
The candles of his eyes weep in the desolate nights
Lost is all peace and tranquility’s trace
Your charming features his heart ignites
A few breaths are left in the dying tree of life
With fallen leaves and barren branches entwined
Resuscitate and free it from torments and strife
Be a glow of the dimmed eyes that brilliantly shined
Tell her, the writer awaits your reply
With burning heart and soul alight
Before torments enhance and wounds multiply
And the bird of life takes to wing of flight
From my breaking point, i try to reframe
All my thoughts seem to sway
My heart hates what my mind became
Every emotion in my body, i try to tame
my mind says go, my heart says stay
from my breaking point, i try to reframe
For my mistakes, i take the blame
maybe we'll be again some day
my heart hates what my mind became
I smile just to hide my shame
For my wrongs to you, I will pay
from my breaking point, i try to reframe
I feel crooked with no aim
alone again, tonight I'll lay
my heart hates what my mind became
Now harshly we play in loves game
Disappearing fast like snow in may
From my breaking point, i try to reframe
My heart hates what my mind became
You are the tear that follows me
the ache within my soul
the bitter-sweet that sings to me
my heart you came and stole
You are a dream beyond my reach
a wish I can not touch
it breaks my heart to be so close
for I love you far too much
You are a kiss I can't make real
a whisper never spoken
a cherished thought that stays asleep
a smile lying broken
You are the one I can not have
no matter how it pains
my dream for which I sit and grieve
a shadow that remains
You are the sun that has to set
our time just couldn't last
I need to wait for the dawn to break
while I mourn for is past.

When the girls with whom you've flirted
All have gone their merry way
Winning hearts, dispensing favors
In the flavor of the day,
There is one whose kept the home fires,
While her lonely heart has yearned.
Will she still be there to hold you
After your last bridge is burned?
Weigh temptation, is it worth it,
Seeking love for just the day?
Will there still be one who needs you
When all others go away?
When a loving heart is broken,
It won't be an easy mend.
Your promised heart to her forever,
Is no longer yours to lend.
If tomorrow, God should call you,
Take you from the life he gave,
Only she will long remember
To put flowers on your grave.
Hurry home now, Casanova,
Heed my warning and beware.
If too late you seek the home fires,
It may be she won't be there.

I will Remember
I remember when I held you silky skin under my hand
Bearing my heart and making promises,
All the things that we had planned.
Will one day come to pass, ill be home with you and consider
That never again to leave your side, this vow I will remember
Your auburn hair like a summer’s fire
Springs forth in my heart a new desire
To love you anew and to show you I care
To bring your life hope and no longer despair
In your eyes I see reflections of a futures last breath
A landscape of purity that will never know death
Denying all other things, this above them rings true
That my timeless obsession will always be you.
So understand this as the days light fades to gray
That in your arms is where my heart truly wishes to stay
And as you open your eyes and a new dawn springs through
Open them further and realize that our dreams are all true
As you herald in the beating of a new hearts first cry
The heavens above you open to sing, just look to the sky
Imagine us together, holding hands, two hearts so tender
That all things wrong transformed to right, you, my life, I Will Remember
Fan the flame that burns within,
If we’ve found love it can’t be sin.
Your touch makes my heart take flight,
To suffer that which seems so right.
I long to touch you when we meet,
But take the path of sad retreat.
You cannot know just how to find,
Things that hurt my troubled mind.
All that is should not have been,
For that which was is but a dream.
For those who love but have much pride,
Are those who jest and set aside.
No need to fan the flame so blue,
For shades of dark have hurt the hue;
But in my heart I call your name,
For in my soul there’s too much pain.
How far back can you remember
As far back as mid December
Your eyes shine brighter than the sun
my feelings for you heavyer then a tone
How many times have we shared tears
I need help to over come my fears
Its become to much to take
Your heart had to finaly break
I guess we both felt that the end was near
It just wasnt something that we wanted to hear
Deep inside of every love scares are being made
and sometime the love cant be saved
I cant pick these peices up alone
Iv had so many hurts im afraid my heart might become stone
Theres no forgeting of what we had
promise you this beacause everyday im still sad
Theres no forgetting, the memorys are in my head
remembering all the words we each have said
Love inst as blind as it seems
but all i have left is the love left in my dreams
the killing pain of not being yours
the shatterd peiced of my heart on the floor
at the end of the hall lays the futures doors
But my hands cant seem to grab it, i am still to soar
I am not ready to move on
and im tellin you it in this song
there might be no way to make you and me again
but as long as am in love with you
you have my heart as a friend
Form:
No love to share this heart of mine;
just one glass in which to pour the wine.
Cold empty space now fills the bed
where once you laid your weary head
and silence reigns in deafening tone,
the sound of laughter turned to stone.
One toothbrush now stands all alone
by a missing bottle of your cologne
and the fridge is full of meals for one;
no point in cooking now you’re gone.
No heart with which my heart to twine
Oh well, at least the wine’s all mine !
**an older write of mine
When you first left I could not cry
I never shed a tear
I found myself so all alone
taken over by the fear
I went for days my heart enslaved
it was more than I could bare
So hard for me to finally see
my love you would not share
Why is it when our hearts are broken
we try so hard to find a token
Just some little thing to hold on to
a remembrance of a love once true
I found a poem you wrote for me
its purpose was so plain to see
You spoke of love and life a new
It made me want to cherish you
I read it several times within
and then again out loud
It was then my heart did wither so
as if covered by a shroud
I remember falling to my knees
and calling out your name
I knew right then my life would change
and never be the same
I pulled myself up off the floor
and ventured to the door
and as I walked outside to breathe
my tears began to pour
I cried all day and into night
I had no will I could not fight
I cried so long and hard it seemed
an endless flow of tears did stream
Inside myself I went that day
contented less yet doomed to stay
I have not cried out loud since then
I have no tears left here to spend
Perhaps the day will come once more
when I may venture out that door
And lift this pain upon my heart
Reach out and give new love a start...

When love was blossoming
and the world was washed new
you promised to me,
you would always be true
And as loves hue
deepened and grew
you promised to me,
I was the only one for you
We laughed and we sang
to the music our hearts made
and you promised to me,
your love would never fade
and as the sun set
in the beauty of the glade
you promised to me,
your heart had never strayed
I believed all the promises
to be solemn and true
at the time they were spoken
so gentle and new
but time has diminished
your promises to lies
like the blossom in winter,
my heart silently dies.
Haunted
Haunted by the past
Haunted by these memories that forever last
Get out of my head
Get out of my mind
Get out of my heart so I can leave you behind
You forgot my confession
You forgot my strives
You forgot all the moments shared in our lives
You'll never have to hear them
You'll never need to know
You'll never see these feelings, I'll never let them show
Behind these lonely memories
Behind these tear-filled eyes
Behind these broken feelings, I hide away in self-disguise
Between us are the special times
Between us is a wall
Between us was a relationship, picked up but only to fall
I chose to tell you the truth
I chose to tell you the facts
I chose to tell you how I felt, and was let down by confusing acts
I remember a time
I remember a love
I remember a story sent from above
My feelings are of love
My feelings are of hate
My feelings are a lie, thinking this was fate
How soon will I forget?
How soon will I move on?
How soon will I lose hope? I guess it's already gone
Even though this sounds a little harsh
Even though this sounds too cruel
Even though I still want friendship, I feel just like a fool
I'm sure that you don't want this
I'm sure that you don't care
I'm sure that in my heart no one will compare
Know that I wish you happiness
Know that I wish you well
Know that I'm not bitter, for our frienship I wish to excel
"Illusive Heart"
I feel lonely, and yet you are here.
You hold me close; but, your heart isn't sincere.
You utter bittersweet promises that all will come true.
My heart doesn't believe anything; that is said, from you.
Your just fooling yourself if you think I wouldn't know.
All the covered up lies, that you have did; or ever told.
I came to you that night and stated we were through.
Leaving begging promises, my feelings; you left askew.
Munipulator of words you try another hand..
What part of "we're through" do you not understand?
I ultimately packed my heart and walked out forever.
Finally feeling free, as much as I could endeavor.
