Best Lovesick Poems
She told me to write about love…
…fine.
…
I gave up on you.
I gave up on your testaments.
I gave up on the way you said to hold on tight.
You told me you would hold me like you used to.
You told me you would scold me like you used to.
Because I liked your attitude,
Allegedly.
…
I would be taken aback
When the sunflowers finally
Noticed the rhythm in my strut
When Mondays would pass by without a suicidal teardrop
But still I
Gave up on
The endlessness
Of you
Striking these vindicated ivories
To a song you didn’t want to hear
You left me unspoken
An empty chorus.
Until I grabbed my pen…
…to become the composer of my tomorrows.
Without you.
The Unnecessary.

Dear Love,
Just a quick note:
You caught me unawares
I thought I lived in circles
You taught me to accept squares
I write to ask for guidance
As straight lines tend to bend
The route we thought before us
Down a different path does send
You have a reputation
That has helped us through the age..
The compassion of a mother
The wisdom of a sage
So as I lean towards you
For some words of hope and care
Perhaps a new direction
Or encouragement you'll share
You released your piercing arrow
Varnished with surprise
Tipped to cut through layers
Under which my lost soul lies
You only took a moment
And before I knew my mind
My heart had led me forward
Out of prison cell, confined
Pah, you know all this already
So a question I must ask..
Are you wholly future focussed?
Is that even in your grasp?
Have you mapped how love unravels
As your arrow breaks these chains
Is destiny the angel
To guide through all this strange
Confusing landscape
Gnarly trees that twist and trip
While my mind is still in turmoil
Though my feet, they want to skip
I'll sign off here and ponder
All the wonders you possess
But thank you in anticipation
Yours truly,
My Heart's Address
O Lord, why have you designed
for every malady a medicine,
For every wound, a balm
leaving only love incurable?
This melancholy dusk
this smothering loneliness
and my mournful heart
pining for my beloved
in this godforsaken milieu.
If not to appease my yearning heart
My love, can you but come
to soothe this moaning moon
and lo, to console these teary stars?
Oh, for heaven’s sake,
do come to enliven
this woebegone skyline.
When a gust of wind sweeps by
the rustling of the fallen leaves
startles me and I begin to wonder...
Did you just pass me by?

~Brian Strand's 115 contest
if my soul ever wept like a rose
drunk on thornless scents ...
would you, O love ,
trace the lips of time ,
glazed with passionate patterns
of poison and starlight?
untying the rubies of romance ,
sleepless, infatuated ... with the flame
of your pensive pixie-fire ...
I long for you, to pulsate in lush lilac
as the sunset bleeds in your tattoos
dressed with tequila temptations,
read me ~ like a poem ~ laid bare
as I unfurl softly, a luna-pearl ...
lovesick .. in liquid pink lustre ,
dreaming of dulcet demons
in the kiss
left by leafy fingertips
of tie-dyed july ~
on my waning heart ...
Baby let's sit down here
Just let's make everything clear
Stop buying me presents when you are not near
I don't want your wallet, i just want you to be real
I want to feel your love, I want you to stay with me
I'm sick of your diamonds, Sick of you not happy being with me
I dont want to ride your benz, i dont want to use your card
If you think so, you are wrong, it's better to get apart
I don't want your diamond ring, I don't want your prada shoes
All i want is simple kindness and love before you lose
It's true when you have got money you feel good and safe
But, when you have no love, you start losing faith
A silent rhythm
Only the lover hears the
throbbing of his heart
Dreams slide up the mountainside
Black heartless path
Seeking you on snowy peaks
A lovesick poke took his guitar
to find his true love at the bars.
When her beau heard the tune,
he went over the moon,
crashed to earth, and saw lots of stars.
moon mesmerizes
and bewitches your senses
with
AN ENCHANTING SPELL
moon lights the candle
that melts with ardent passion
two
HEARTS IN ERUPTION
moon kissed the peach cheeks
in the ravishing twilight
when
TWO LOST SOULS MELTED

Love makes me lovesick
I want some self-esteem, but I am lost inside of you.
I’m licking my wounds after another battle with love.
I thought we were living the dream, but now I know that is untrue.
All that you did for me was never enough to earn my trust.
I drag you inside my heart for a feeling,
Because all I can feel is I need to be leaving.
Love me forever! Or I will turn my back on you.
I am sick to the stomach of your idea of love
And I cannot allow you to keep on stealing.
I give and you take and give nothing in return;
Silence your lies and leave the memories to burn.
Stir your pot and I will let you once more churn;
You lied and I cried and now you have become not even mentioned…
Not even Her.
Left to be forgotten by a love of a life;
A possible true love became my destruction overnight.
A love like this makes me feel sick!
So I am ok with just leaving it.
A pessimist is never disappointed;
With you I have become severely disjointed.
I miss the memories of those days of love or something.
Reality bites, something was never real
And this love you claim to give out is really…nothing.

Feelings of heart, emotions of eyes.
Wanderings of mind, expectations of ears.
Days are passing, but love is waiting…
Ears are waiting, to hear some soothing…
Distance increased; affection decreased.
Existence questioned; imagination erased.
Are you there? Hearts corner felt empty.
Where you went? Eyes are dry and wifty.
Music gave peace and happiness once.
Attic of mind filled with romance those days.
Dreams were full of love and warmth!
Hugs and cuddles made life complete…
Wondering how long I must wait!
Assuming this wait will be short.
Restore the life with passion and love…
Before the mind go crazy and mismove…

full my ceaseless soul clasp each beat
once more to seek one last chance to greet

When dealing with a love-sick fool
One must be strict and must be strong
And follow this one simple rule
Don't let them be a hanger-on
One must be strict and must be strong
To bring such foolishness to end
And a new love then to begin
And follow this one simple rule
Say, "no", I know it's hard to do
But all else just would not be true
Don't let them be a hanger-on
You must just say a quick good-bye
No matter how I beg or cry
I see you over there,
nervously playing with your hair
blushing at the ground
and trying not to stare,
so I'm pretending not to care.
(Tonight is bright and full of lights.)
I still don't care,
I'm trying to win you over
I'm playing the part,
I'm playing fair,
but you're gorgeous and distracting
...I'm not getting anywhere.
So don't trust me when I'm love sick
just carry me on through.
It doesn't matter where I end up
if I'm ending up with you.
I'll hold you tighter when your cold
girl I know how seasons do.
Warmer hearts in Minnesota
when it's negative two.
What is love?
Is it a gift from the almighty up above?
Some say it's an emotion,
a understanding of true devotion.
It cannot be bought or sought with such haste,
doing so would be such a waste.
Loosing it can feel like death,
an unexplainable loss, you loose your breath.
If love is a miserable lie, then we're all in perdition,
how can something such as love be abused with intuition?
Love is supposed to be unconditional,
but being creatures of habit is part of the ritual.
There will always be a skewed view of what love should be,
is something like this meant for me?
