Best Lost Lovewords Poems


Premium Member Tell Me Now

Now that your spirit hovers in chilling night air
Can you find your way to offer me some insight
So many times I pledged my love to show I care
But your lack of response trepidation would ignite

If I could hold you once more, would you tell me now
Would you utter the words I longed so much to hear
Instead of leaving me hanging from love’s frail bough
You’ve passed from earth, but in my dreams you reappear

I see your lips moving and long to comprehend
Words that silently escape into the vast void
I reach for them and your death I try to transcend
Expressions in life that you never employed

Our hearts had been broken countless times before
Your actions showed love, but the words I needed more

Echo

The lonely Echo lives in caves, 
doomed to repeat her voice.
How sad it is she cannot speak,
but this was not by choice.

Once long ago in wooded hills,
gods cursed her chatty tongue
so she could only say again
words spoken or those sung.

She fell in love with Narcissus;
a love he would deny,
for she could only parallel  
his words as her reply.

He denounced the woodland beauty. 
She cursed his naked soul. 
Now he could only love himself
and never hearts he stole.

From that time on she hid herself 
in deep sequestered dells.
Her fading form has turned to rock.
Her voice is all that dwells.

If you hear the ghost of Echo,
the phantom of the air
and your last words repeat themselves,
you've found the maiden's lair!

Smoke Rings
If she wanted to stay he would make her a place,
for he loves ev'rything that she is,
and he'd willingly give all the world and the stars
for her love--if they only were his.

But he likes it alone, and in silence he knows,
if he wants, he can talk to the moon,
or hear voices at bars, or the children he loves,
and if wanting to go--he'll go soon.

Or to stay if he choose, for the night is still young,
but she's there, and he's wanting to say
all the words in his heart--but he's holding them back
and the night is much colder than day.

So he goes to someone who's no danger to ways
though he smiles, he is really not there
and he wants to forget, but he wants to live on,
if she stays or she goes, he will care.

And the one he is with, sees the love in his eyes,
and she knows it's not hers anyway,
but the ones' who was late, and the one who will go,
and the one he will never let stay.

If he asks and she stays, he'll go off the deep end,
and he knows she loves silence--as he;
and she stays for a while, til the silence is deep,
and the end is the end that must be.

But she looks at the floor when he wants her to see,
and she goes when he wants her to stay,
but the words are not there, and he watches her go,
with the thought that it must be this way,

but he smiles in his heart--for he's known her at least,
and he's loved--and has found love is good,
and the end that he feared, he prevented in life,
though he wonders if he ever should.

And the journey is long--he'll look back on her face,
and he'll think, many times, there it goes!
and he'll always regret; for it's always alive,
and she's part of his life, and he knows.

And the others who see--feel the same for their own,
and they wonder why he doesn't try,
but it's smoke rings they see; or a bird in their hand
that is wanting to fade in the sky.

And the sky will embrace ev'rything in the end,
and the things that we see are a mask,
and the smoke rings that fade to the will of the sky
are in love--and the sky didn't ask.

Karma

I watch the tears fall from your eyes, but then why am I mad? …This is the day I was 
told about, they said I’d be happy, blissful, content, and victorious, so then why am I 
sad…
Man, today I met a new side of me, I learned you could confide in me, and know that 
your secrets are safe with inside of me, trying to weaken the soul that lies in thee, 
but my heart is as wide as the sea. And I’m stronger than I ever thought I could be, 
because I learned to forgive YOU, and to love ME!
So I wipe your tears and ask myself where is your strength… the strength that kept 
me in complete darkness, provoked words of cold harshness, the times I CRIED and 
YOU acted heartless, I let you guide me as though you were my compass, but you 
chose to destroy me and feed off my weakness, leaving me to pick up the pieces and 
tidy your mess. So if you’re wondering if I feel your pain, my answer is yes!
The pain you feel was a place I once resided in, so my only words of wisdom is take 
this as life’s lesson, learn that things happen for a reason, ppl we think we know 
change like the season, learn to fight your daemon. Don’t let this be a rerun, don’t let 
your soul get beaten, train your mind not to weaken, don’t wallow in your sorrows, 
forgive and forget and your life will sweeten……mines did!
I did, I moved on, forgave and forgot, and in turn I am grateful for all that I got. Road 
out the waves, rolled with the punches, built back my strength, my emotions and 
senses, brushed myself off when you threw me in the trenches. Drowned my 
sorrows, faced all my stresses. And at the end of it all I made a few pledges.
 I pledge to love me and put myself first, love me through hard times, down to my 
worst. I pledge to forgive, we all make mistakes, I pledge to succeed and do 
whatever it takes. Avoid all the foes, follies and fakes. Avoid stepping on skins of all 
cobras and snakes. I shall not conform to gossiping and sin, because despite what 
I’ve been through I choose to win. Do good on to others, be kind, be true, and your 
hardship will cease, your sorrows will be few. Now wipe the tears from your eyes, 
cuz you finally paid your due. You can run and you can hide but karma will always find 
you!

Gossamer Wings

On gossamer wings 
she floats through thoughts 
of timeless dreams and 
pages unturned. 
Words written but left unread
for years as centuries 
turn to new. 
Her course was set 
before her time, 
now deep within 
she feels her fragile heart 
even as it breaks again. 
New words to write of courage 
or loss, or words perhaps of 
gossamer wings that carry her
home.

Talking Trees

Somehow the very path I stroll,
Still has us both connected,
If not for all the leaves too old,
I never would detect it...
At every glance a tree that's bare,
Seems just as ordinary,
Until the breeze that shapes the air,
Divulges the contrary....
The smell of all the virgin wood,
Engulfs me in a womb,
Reminding me of what it should,
And smells of her perfume...
Touching me in such a way,
That words cannot explain,
Clutching me until I say,
Three words before her name...
( I love you )
Tomorrow I will take my walk,
Along this path again,
And look for you in trees that talk,
Until my journey ends ...


Torn Between Two Lovers

I'm sitting here all alone,
emotions numb, with words  you've shown.
You chose to leave our bed last night,
precious time wasted, to hold me tight....

I'm still in shock of what you said,
how you cared for her, when tears she shed?
You're probably right, when you confessed,
you shouldn't have pulled me into your mess!...

You honestly believe that it's okay?
to care for lovers, that went away.
I ask if it, would be alright,
if I cared this much for an "ex" tonight?...

You lie and say it wouldn't bother you!
if I showed compassion, while he's so blue.
I'm lost in thoughts of how to feel?
your words ring loud, as they reveal....

"You care for her, is what you say",
those words still sting, I must convey.
What was I thinking?.. to let you in,
my heart is broken yet again....

I don't need lovers, from past gone by,
to talk me through tears I cry.
The way I see it, they had their chance,
but you need 'her' more, than our romance...
                      Go figure?....

Premium Member Moments Memory

All at once it came...
The thought...your name...
with memories of yesteryear...
of loving things we shared so dear...

As hearty thoughts imbue awhile...
so borne of words bring a smile...
for moments memory to relive the past...
as mindful thoughts share words so cast....

By inspirations as words play......
a wistful lingo of poetry.

Time Is Running Out

I want you 
But you don't want me
I'm tired of wondering
If this would ever be

You claimed you love me
But I can't tell
Love is more than words can't you see
As I wondered about this love

Which made me feel lonely and empty
You ignore me all the time
Saying words that are never kind
I'm tired of feeling in the way that I do

When all I want is to love you true
Your time is running out
And you'll miss me when I'm gone
In this relationship I never felt so alone

It's time to say goodbye
And I wish you well
I hope you find someone true
That would be good as I was to you

Your Melody

You whispered me a love song
with the sweetest melody
perhaps you should have sung instead
a song of tragedy

The words you uttered reached my soul
and struck an inner chord
but now I'm haunted by your tune
each note a piercing sword

An unrequited lovers song 
that taunts me night and day
I long to have my soul at rest
your ghost I try to lay

Your shadow seems to follow
it just wont let me be
you seem to live inside my head
of you I can't be free

Perhaps deep down I can't let go
afraid you'll disappear 
for then I will be all alone
your melody no longer hear

But I need for someone else to come
and take the place of you
to sing to me a different song
with words that are brand new.

Now I'M Gone

How could this 
happen to me?
I was happy
as could be!

With u by my side
so strong with your pride!
How could this 
happen to me?

How did this 
fight ever start?
Your words have
ripped out my heart!

And now that your gone! 
i play our love song
And cry many tears
from my heart

I loved you for real
from the start
Taking your life it
broke my heart

But we wont be together 
until i am never!
These words i speak
from the heart

This time i will 
see it through!
Because i am so 
very blue

The times have been tough!
now I've had enough!
so this is 
The End of me too

Fear In Love

Why were you so afraid
I promised I'd never let you down.
But, fear made you a killer
and inside these tears I drown.
For I've forgotten how to swim
but for you I tried to cross the sea
I thought I could make it far
oh, the believer you'd made of me.
Daily I said I love you
but those words held all our fears
did I wait in vain for a reply?
So I sink to bitter tears.
You could not believe my words
I'd believed in everything you'd said
I took that fear and leaped in faith
but you ran with all your words unsaid.
And, with no one here to catch me
I'm falling faster to the ground
to shatter into pieces
but, I will not make a sound.
I can't scream your name,
for fear of hurting you too
yet, at least now I know
what is was that was scaring you.

Maybe I Was Never Yours

I may not have a  place in your perfect world
I may not be that special emerald
I may not be your perfect man
But do you know that I am your biggest fan?
Do you know I slowly became mesmerized by your charm
And waited for the day to hold your arm
I have waited for the day to speak to you
Though we did speak often and the words were not few
But it was that special something I always wanted to say
I searched and searched for your heart's way
We met as strangers having different lives
And have met different people as large as bees of a hive
But it is you that I remember the most 
For you are the most precious thing I have lost
When our eyes first met,I experienced something different in me
That is only you can ever, see
I can't say I saw my future in your eyes
But looking at them I could not speak any lies 
Oh how I wish our talks would be from the heart
But I neither opened myself,nor my heart
Was it a fear of losing you?
And failing to start anew?
I may not have been your emerald 
But you, and only you were my world
I was not scared to express my words of love
The truth is I did not show you my charred body in the flames of love

A Silent Tear

I write these words in silent tear,
they were not meant for you to hear
my heart is what these words contain
they bring you close with each refrain.
but only in a state of mind
for not always is my life so kind.
i learned so much from loving you
my fondest wish is you have too.
i know you think its for the best
that we lay it all to rest 
i can't foresee another day
without your love to guide the way.
but if it all did not exist
there'd be so much i would have missed
like the kindness in your eyes
that assured me you were Gods surprise
the memories are here to stay       
 no one can take them away
you need to know my love was real
and this is truly how i feel
this silent tear's not from remorse
and does not come from my loves loss
like Gods tears of morning dew
it's from the joys of loving you.
i miss you...

Another Love Story

Even though I've said these words out loud
But I will still worry because my head is too proud
You will use these words however you choice
Use them to love me or use them against me

I am trapped in this love, not knowing to fight
You face was in my heart but it's no longer the light
I am just waiting while life passed me by
I want to scream because you wont say goodbye

But you say you love me and I don't believe 
The words you utter to hard to conceive 
And it's strange how we could just crash to the floor
When I could never imagine wanting you more

I guess this is the cycle to move on
Waiting for that love that already long gone
Trying to relieve our lovers past glory
But in the end, we are just, another sad love story
