Loss Love Poems - Poems about Loss Love

In Stars Above
A dress, tangerine fading into sunflower. We stand together, rooftop of a white concrete building. Higher than clouds, further than moon— she looks down, my eyes follow. Our gazes collide when they fall onto the mist pooling into swirls. I couldn't help but stare, on her porcelain cheeks, something sparkles—tears, but I cannot tell if they're from joy or devastation. I want to hold her— In...

I escape to a shiny lake where waters are calmer, my mistakes are not raked and the nights are warmer. Without sting rays and cold-ness of days, This town is deserted buildings flood vacancies I dream of flirtation and of illumination, so much for singularity, bringing one to peace. Thoughts are floating like ashes in the summer. I begin playing, A lost & found harmonica....

Forever And Always, For All Eternity
Infinite love Has come to an end The white dove? Its neck has a bend What was promised forever Did not last Continued for never And came in last Eight months To be continued Eight months You promised no issue You promised forever You promised always You promised to never But you did anyways I cannot be mad I could not do that to you But boy am I sad To watch what we...

After the Ghost
Form: Englyn Unodl Union I touched a shadow and called it a flame, It smiled — but was the same. My scars whispered his name. Love left, but I still came. ...

The Bruise Was Worth It
I kissed the fall. Ran barefoot through glass and silence. Told him I loved him— even when it undid me. It was raw. It was ruin. But it stayed, like a scar worth naming...

Rain and Sun

Emerald Hill Childrens' Home
In forgotten fields of green, Where laughter echoed, wild and free, I chase the ghosts of childhood's dream, And whispers of yesterday's sweet theme. Sunday morning, bright and fair, Church bells chime, with love and care, Father's prayers, a gentle guide, We're lost in warmth, where love resides. The Lord's guidance, a beacon bright, Leads us through life's plodding night, In innocence, we took it...

Never Posted
I wrote then paused, ball pen hovering— the words too bare. They sat on yellow sheets, unsealed and unsent in little brown envelopes. A line meant for truth, one for letting go, another for quiet peace. I wrote “I miss you,” maybe even “I love you,” then crossed half the page. Sometimes I read through the unsaid in my heart, and almost sent a word. Your name— blue, unfading crawl the old sheets, but my voice never...

Take my hand with promise
There's a widow that sits beside the seaside The sun shines on her face There’s a morning light that cries and sits beside her place And there is an eye That melts at the touch It’s hidden not much For a fake Did you know the greatest treasure lost Was found at the bottom of a lake The widow sits beside its hand she shall...

On the way back from the Spar A familiar ring I’ve heard But you must be very far So it could have been a thought Just a casual thought that came Like a butterfly that flies Out of chrysalis to gain Freedom of the open skies It wasn’t real like it seemed What that was, I can’t define There’s no moral in the dreams And illusions...

Raak jy aan my - English translation included
Raak jy aan my Die more son is ‘n kus op my wang So sag soos ‘n veer, raak jy aan my met die son en maak my verlang, Die straal in die maan lig, streel my oë So sag en teer, raak jy aan my dat ek jou sien met ander oë. Die wind waai en my omhels So hou jy my...

The House Of Cards We Called Home
I never realized until I noticed a part of me had dissolved in the intoxication of you. That missing piece was never mine— it had always belonged to you. I never noticed how my sleep slipped away into an ocean of thoughts I couldn’t solve. I wrapped myself in your thoughts— thoughts that were not all true. I lost a part of me just to preserve the...

[Verse 1] I grew my farm roots beneath your starry-eyed loam In soils of silence where dreams slip by, lost and unknown But you were the willowing wind pulling you far away Took to the stars as if you never meant to stay. [Pre-Chorus] I’m buried deep in the earth’s embrace But you’ve spread your wings into the endless space We were worlds...

In twilight’s hush, where dreams commence, I wandered lost in limerence. A glance, a spark, a breathless flame, Yet never once he spoke my name Love lived in ache, not permanence. Who am I to wake a beast Dressed up in stark reality? For all the signs I could not read And all the signs I did not see, Love left within a...
