Best Past Love Poems

When I see him standing there,
My heart starts to ruthlessly pounding
I decide to say a silent prayer
Asking God for His expedient blessing

Thoughts of our time together
Create pictures inside my mind
But I refuse to grow bitter
Because I know love is blind

The memories quiet my dreams
Of all...

Why can't you love me when I love you?
Why couldn't you be there for me when I needed you?
Why couldn't you have just been okay?
Why did you cheat on me that day?
Why can't we make everything go away?
Why can't we sit along that beautiful bay?
Why...

It appeared, for the longest time, that I was over you.
Each day my mind would bury your memory,
Continualy obsturing your face and your touch.
I began to shift my gaze.
I started looking straight ahead.
The past was to my back.

But most recently, from the depths of my...

My late wife has told me; 
It was so easy to fall in love with me?

My late love; I saw a glimpse, 
And thought
She was a shiny thing!

My late love was shown my scars, 
When suddenly
It was easy to leave.

My late love taught me; 
Her...

In awe of him I stared as if he a mountain
of grey glaciers where black butterflies
drooped wings eyelids of the miserable mourner
our wasted limbs entwined, celtic knots half drawn
wilted wanderers wanting a feather bed
on which to lie, under glinting satin sunsets....

How many lovers
Pen in hand
Sat on this park bench
Inspired by the kiss of this same sun
Enjoying a breathtaking moment
In spite of their heavy heart
Writing a love letter to their beloved
Separated for any number of reasons
Obligation, tragedy or even war

When I close my eyes
I could be...

My past love 
I loved you but love you no more
My love i love you
And I know you love me
My past love
You gave up and left me 
My love
Your here with your love for me
My past love
Once you were everything now your nothing
My love
You have...

A cold day as this reminds me of the good old days;
when we were together, holding hands and kissing nights away.
Now on a cold day like this one that chills my bones;
I wonder where you're at.
On the sat-covered streets where the bare-feet freeze as they...

Life as I Sip My French Viognier

With an Indy Blues melody softly playing behind me, 
I relax on my outdoor couch, tired legs stretched out, 
After a brutal uphill hike earlier this windy day.
A cold glass of french viognier at my lips,
As I sip slowly,...

i’m in your classroom now

it’s still not mine.
at least not in my head
and i won’t lie and tell you i didn’t think about you every 5 minutes.
you are a year older 
and now i’m living everything you went through last year,
and it is terrifying.

you know,...

One ... day I will return to the emerald isle
That I ..love
Where I was born
And my heart belongs
To chase the pretty girls again
And listen to the old
...folk songs……..

For although I be a travelling man
And my feet cannot stay still...
So I...

When the lights go off
When curtains are drawn  
When stillness settles here
    
 I lie thinking 
        
 It is you swirling in me like feathers in soft winds or letters over an ocean

I've been waiting for you for quite a while
Though when you resurfaced I was unable to smile

I was tangled up in a web of lies
with the one I needed to say goodbye

His grip was strong as he held me tight
Blinding me; I could not see...
