Best Love Hate Poems
I Love Hate
I love hate; it's plain to see
It fills the hearts of my enemies
It sucks out the life and joy from their souls
And where happiness was, it leaves a large hole
They like to spread rumors and go off on a rant
But ask'em for a reason, You Know! They just can't
You see, Hate is just darkness, a disease of the mind
It soon affects everything; you'll find it time
The way you talk to others, the expression on your face
You tend to lose compassion and be void of all grace
It just makes more enemies and never a friend
And when it's all over, you'll feel empty in the end
So I leave all the hate to those who revel in it
And get on with my life, Loving every minute
By JT Curtis Nov 2017
This hurts too much,
Even though at times
Its the best thing ever.
However, the pain I feel right now
Is destroying all that I am.
I feel worthless and dumb.
Vunerable and used.
I also feel loved and special.
Beautiful and wanted.
These feeling are so extreme in every which way possible.
I love how I feel when with you
I hate how I feel guilty when we part
I love looking in your eyes
I hate when mine cry
Your fingers along my face also touches her
Those lips that drive me crazy
Are sleeping against her neck tonight
I love who I am around you
I hate what I have turned into
I love the way you make me feel
I hate that she must feel that as well
No matter how good it feels
This pain is too much to bear
I love you
I truely truely do
But the hurt is not worth
The random few moments of bliss.
Goodbye, my love-hate lover
Goodbye

read it, I thought maybe someone else would enjoy reading it as well. 'To write is to share
with the world, how we all feel but never speak of' Lisa
As a kid they said technology
would lead us to a better life,
and in many ways they are correct,
tech does many things right.
I suppose I was just naïve
to thing there would be no downside,
now I love/hate the internet,
there are a thousand reasons why…
I love that endless information
is just a single click away /
I hate that there is so much
that it overwhelms the brain.
I love that I can buy anything,
have it delivered rather quick /
I hate endless adds in e-mail,
trying to sell me something slick.
I love that every genre is there,
in every medium, and every type /
I hate that half of it hides viruses
that will steal away your life.
I love that video posting sites
bring old music to the crowds /
I hate the video ‘commentators,’
so inane, rambling, and loud.
I love that every point of view
has a place to makes its pitch /
I hate government and tech giants
always trying to censor it.
I love that every single interest
has a place to blow of stress /
I hate people acting like morons,
and then claiming they’re ‘oppressed.’
I love that you can meet others
who may share your predilections /
I hate that being ‘connected’
soon becomes a damn addiction.
I love that you can reach the world
from the comforts of your home /
I hate that this very same world
then never leaves you alone.
I love that a person can work
from anywhere on any day /
I hate that distance no longer
makes reality go away.
Of course it’s not like it is
ever gonna go anywhere,
we’re forever stuck in between
thankfulness and despair.
I guess the net will ever be
a both sweet and bitter pill,
I love/hate the internet,
and I guess I always will.
If love is...
feeling unloved,
anxious and starved,
give my regards
Does the torment of love's hate
eliminate pain?
If love is trembling lips
and sultry eyes, upon them
everlasting cries,
Charcoal tears that pour
What answers are there
for these unwanted sores?
Binding spells of
the unforgiving way swells
She the accuser shames
with her bitter blame
Aging with, until the bitter end
Accusing of his unrequited love
Awaits for his apologies
with a scorn, torn in self-pity
Nothing gained, nothing learned
Yearn, yearn, yearn
Self-loathing is apparent
Possibly inherent
Therefore, never really knowing
love and its understanding
and had mistaken it
enamored in its--lustful cradle
When the soul still yearns,
The chaos in her heart burns,
lonely is desire
Love and hate are closely connected
Emotions both strong and intense
A fine line divides these extremes
Oft times we straddle the fence
It takes what seems like an innocent event
To shove us one way or the other
We're up on top of the world one moment
Next moment afraid we'll smother
Controlling emotions is difficult at best
Bombarded by outside influence
Always requiring strength and dedication
To maintain love's continuance
Lost without love's sweet guiding light
Through sad time and times of joy
Love must conquer the uncertain heart
And never allow hate to destroy
Love and hate are closely connected
Emotions both strong and intense
A fine line divides these two extremes
Oft times we straddle the fence

Hate,
You came to me
When I was a child
I don’t want you to
Be near me
Ever again
It was during WW2
Japan ruled
Koreans obeyed
One day
Mother came home
With tears in her eyes
Her voice filled with bitterness
A Japanese soldier kicker her
With his heavy boots
In a busy street
Where everyone was watching
Watching her bruised knees
Discolored shins
I felt hatred filling my entire being
Spreading like a wild fire
Not only against the soldier
But against all Japanese
I was a seven year old boy then
Late in life
I realized:
This must be how we learn to hate
A person and a nation
If unchecked, the hate will grow
Like wild fire
Spreading all over
Mother taught me to love
She said love was like
Spring sunshine
Helping people to get out
Of their cocoons
And mingling with others
As brothers and sisters
But how can I love
Instead of hate?
I did not tell myself to hate
It happened without trying
When I saw Mother’s bruised knees
Ugly face of hate filling my entire being
With the red banner of death
Coaxing me to revenge
Can I shove this hate
In the chamber of my will power?
Or Will it explode with mighty fury?
Or should I pray to God to diffuse it?
A TYPICAL AMERICAN FAIRYTALE
Whispered, hollow "I want you" s
Screamed, haunted "I loved you" s
Pleaded, remorseful "Please don't go" s
Murmured, sad "I wish I didn't have to" s
Pulled strings, hearts forced to dance
Unfortunate words, slammed doors that won't open
Forgiven things, never forgotten
Once ripe love, now toxic and rotten
Clutching hands, hidden bruises
Envious glares, stabbing words
Vicious tongues, bared souls
Deadly heartbeats, gasping breaths
Happily never after
shattered glass,
all over the floor.
my feet bleed,
but I still want more.
some years ago,
you started a war.
I loved you once,
never again I, swore.
you paint me evil,
but I disagree.
you disliked yourself,
and took it out on me.
these marks that you’ve left
are starting to wear.
I can’t be who you need,
but you don’t care.
shattered glass,
nothing to fall for.
a million cracks run through the pane,
& i wait for you at the door.
The fish knows not of air.
Its sky is cold and deep.
Its breath is water weighty, fair
In currents it must keep.
It cannot breach the silver ceiling,
That barrier, bright and stark
A world beyond all sense and feeling,
A realm of blinding dark.
As below, so above,
The pattern holds its sway.
We breathe our own thick sea of love,
And call it a single day.
We walk upon the land,
Our heads pressed to the sky
An ocean of air, by unseen hand,
Where our fleeting lifetimes lie.
We cannot climb the thinning blue,
Where pressure starts to fail,
To breathe the air the eagles do
Along the wind’s proud trail.
As above, so below,
The truth is mirrored clear.
To the depths we cannot go,
To the heights we cannot near.
Two worlds, two seas, one law
One breath in different forms.
Against the grain of what we saw,
In silence, it transforms.
The fish in water, we in air,
Both bound by what we’re given
The same great Breath is everywhere,
Beneath the same vast Heaven.
In my quest of life sublime
I face a mountain I must climb
There dwells up inside of me
A growing amount of hostility
My anger is growing day by day
Regardless of the prayers I pray
Like two grinding tectonic plates
One is love and the other is hate
As the plates slowly grind away
Price of hate my love must pay
Like a beautiful exotic dance
Hate is held in dark romance
Like a lone mountain flower
Love shall hold mystic power
The two sides of a single face
Only one can rule this place
Off to hell fallen angels go
Is this the fate of my soul?
Is the meaning of this rhyme?
Bound by the hands of time
For all to hear and all to see
Love and hate each dwell in me
Love and hate each have their goal
I wonder, which shall win my soul
Your beauty defies time
as you glide so effortlessly
across the boundless horizon
Breathless you capture my essence
and melt me from my frozen state
as the crackling embers spark nearby
My vision is blurred as if without end
crystal mounds begin to rise
and your effervescence illuminates the sky
Thoughts turn to a restless morning
where a painful path is purged
penetrating the virgin pure
If only these moment could survive
forever in child like eyes
life would be devine
Fear is my unspoken words
Emotions linger in my mind
like free flying birds
but still my life is sad!
Unspoken words remain Undefeated
Just as the sky remains seated
As my heart beats
Tears and Fear pour heavily
The only taste i have is that of mucus
Running from my nose
Why My people are more concerned with frequent blackouts!
A question to be ,does our lives matter?
Evil people have put a price on my body
Making me the most haunted persons of my era
A few people are there to fight with me
A question to be,
Are they rangers trying to control pouching?
But still my life is sad!
A question to be does our lives matter?

Love & Hate
Hate never defeats hate
We shall therefore never hate
Nor hate the haters
Mans destiny is to be flawed
I am flawed
Very flawed
I cry out for peace
I feel the pain of every suffering child
yet
yet
yet
They say have no hate
Love thy enemy
So I must love
Love is the Lennon way
Give a peace of the bullet a chance
Love is dead
Imagine that
Never the less, I try
Flawed as I might be
So I love
As a lover should
I embrace my love in the wrapped shroud of peace
I kiss my love
I shall list my loves
I would love to see Trump die
I would love to see Hillary poked in the eye
I would live to see Saudi Arabia disappear
I would love to see Isis naked and suffering in fear
I would love to see Putin in a box
I would love to see the ayatollah eaten by a fox
I would love to see Erdogan receive his own medicine
Served by traitors as boiled venison
I would love to see assaulter's assaulted
Love is so great let’s love to death all Stalinist Trumps
By their evil deeds and greedy ways
Let’s send them bullets that say "loves the way"
I would love to amend the second amendment
But not before I shot all the NRA
For I believe in love and therefore they can not stay!!!
I need you to need me,
So I can be happy.
I just want to help,
Let me love you,
Let me care for you.
Please,
Don't hate me.
I just want to make you happy.
I’ll be yours for as long as you'll have me.
Forever, infinity,
You’ll be my always,
For as short as that may be.
I’ll be your dime piece
For as long as you’ll love me.
I promise,
I can make you happy.
No, please don’t leave me,
It’ll probably kill me,
Knowing my help wasn’t what you needed.
That ruins me,
I’m so sorry.
I’m sorry I wasn’t enough
To make you happy,
To make you love me.
I loved you with all I had
And you STILL hurt me.
I thought unconditional wouldn’t hurt me,
But, codependency has me by the throat,
In a choke hold.
You’re my forever.
I thought,
As I put you on that pedestal.
Little did I know that would
Completely destroy me
And belittle the happiness within me.

Whackjob
Vienna…
I have to say you’re a freak
Your poems are all in Greek
Your life is one train wreck
I’d never accept your check
Do you even have two brain cells?
Your breath probably smells
You’d sell your body for a buck
But who would screw a cold duck?
So whackjob…don’t forget to bark
Crawling home to the trailer park
Talented, Beautiful Viking
Vie, you are so amazingly skilled
After reading your work, I’m thrilled
You really brighten my day
You’re like a banana parfait
With cherries and whip cream
And two shots of Jim Beam
No you’re better than that
Pretty as a Persian cat
Sweet, agile and striking
Like a sophisticated Viking
