Loss Love Poems

The Perfume Bottle

On my dresser rests a bottle of glass
its angle still holding the light like water.
The stopper breathe when raised
and the air loads with her absence.

A breath of jasmine, faint but faithful,
returns me to the nights I waited
for the sound of her heels on the stair
her perfume arriving before her voice.

Now the bottle is nearly empty
yet

LOUDEST SILENCE

Can't you hear me calling out your names?

Why do you have to leave in such a haste,
leaving me alone in this cold cruel place,!

All i need is the warmth of your embrace,!

I look down to see all your names,
Written down in those shallow graves,!

A single tear falls down my face,! 

And all you could give

the love will live on

it’s ok to let go

Take it as it comes

Take it as it comes they say
As if you have a choice
To take it in alternate way
To speak a different voice
To look outside and see the view
Of distant hills and dales
If only this could come to you
Not to somebody else
You can’t be ready in advance
Though you might think you can  
If you won’t take

Cardinal Rule

A cardinal couple cuddled on the lawn today
Well...  the cardinal version of cuddling, I think
He called and she swooped down from a branch
They touched beaks, I think he might have given her a treat
And isn't that a sincere expression of affection
To share the essence of life with a partner
Sustenance essential to existence

Sustaining one another,

August

Goodbye my little August
Of 2025
I’ve loved you, to be honest
Much better than July
But now September’s on the verge
And we both have to go
For soon the autumn will emerge
Out of the cold wind’s blow
Though many autumns I have seen
And winters in their prime
I couldn’t imagine it would seem
Like a delayed goodbye
More nights, my darling, without you
More

One Life

The heart wants what it wants and gets
What it desires to own
Though in the mind, full of regrets
You might remain alone
Bamboozled by the foolish dream
You’ve lived in for awhile
The only way back then it seemed
Your questions were replied
In words you did expect to hear
In vibes you shared and signs 
Of the delightful atmosphere
That two hearts

Empty Lines

The clothes lines hang empty the grass has grown tall
The apples rot down on the ground
Too thick is the fence around this garden wall
From the house of yours there’s no sound
Unfortunately, this is not a bad dream
But a matter of fact that maintains
When changes come somewhere it seems a routine 
But when they come close

Those Two Chairs

Those two chairs have been there forever
My grandmother and grandpa used them
Sharing the evening sunset’s light
Holding hands and loving each other
They were there looking at each other when their time came
So, those chairs still remain as a tribute to their love

Lies Wrapped in Love

She smiles, and you believe.
She whispers, and you disarm.
Her affection is not affection,
but a weapon—
a stratagem dressed in silk.

Napoleon bent kingdoms to his will,
but could not bend Josephine.
Why?
Because he needed her more than she ever needed him.
The Emperor of Europe,
writing letters of desperate longing
while she gave herself to lesser men in Paris.
The conqueror of nations,
reduced

My Veteran

Forever forever will I miss you Dad,
Even though I tried ofttimes not to be sad.
I know you're in a better place looking down on me,
Smiling down on me,your showers pouring down on me;
Atanda, he whose handwriting is prettiest like a gazelle's footsteps,
Aguntasoo lo, a man with steeze whose cuteness-
Makes all heart push front leaning position

A Mothers Love

I will watch over you 
Till my dying day
I'll nurture and cherish 
The times that we play 

The times when I read 
Of adventures to come
As I tuck you in bed 
And you suckle your thumb 

I will watch over you 
As you learn how to live
To become independent 
From the knowledge I give 

The

Same Old Evening

The evening comes, I recognize
The same old evening’s here
A blurry line across the skies
The sounds of cars I hear
Quite as distinguished as they were
From the embankment side
The motorbikes are also there
Their engines never die
They fade into the background soon
And silence chills the breeze
It fills the gap between my room
And crowns of the trees
And everything looks

When feelings war

By evening light of crimson 
Moonlight dabbled through the trees.
Formed shapes of dark and shadow climbed and crawled and followed me. 

Weary eyes did gaze on distance. 
Though views faded as minutes left.
The seat was waiting to comfort - it knew my walk too well.

Silence could be found though the dabbling water would not stay

blackest wings scale higher than mountains

 Blackest wings, scale higher than mountains
in the chill of tonight's air,
scarred and bleeding from within,
determined to reach her lover's side,
A voice calls out to her voyage
but her vision gets lost
as it starts to drizzle and rain.

She collides & in such pain,
her claws trying to embed in the side
of the rocks but she keeps skidding
