Love And Loss Poems

Silent Hymn

She left no echo, made no sound,
Just folded time without a frown.
No curtain call, no loud applause—
Just grace departing without pause.

A hand once warm now gently still,
A final breath, a resting will.
And yet, her presence lingers on—
In morning light and dusk till dawn.

Soft is the way the faithful part—
A silent hymn within the heart.
No need

Don’t You Dare Stay, Don’t You Dare Leave

I didn’t ask you to come.
You came anyway--
like sympathy could scrub
the blood off my breath.
Don’t you see?
My grief is mine.

You’re holding tissues
like they matter.
You’re speaking
like you understand.
You don’t.
Not the burn. Not the echo.

Let me fall.
Let me break and
crawl through it--
I need the splinters
to feel like proof
that I was touched at all.

And yet,
if you leave now
I

When the Light Forgot Me

I whispered your name
into the bruise of the storm
and it whispered back
like it missed me too.

Your voice—
I remember it
like warmth
I no longer deserve.

They keep telling me
the sky is clearing,
but I am rain.
I am always rain.

And when I tried
to let you go,
my fingers bled
from the holding.

Of Love and Loss

Why speak of love with tales so grand,
If you never learn to hold a hand?
Why make promises sweet and wide,
If you never intend to stand by their side?

Why is it truth, that only when gone,
Do we miss the light we had all along?
Is value found only in absence and pain—
Do hearts awake only in rain?

The

Alas, to write of love and loss and death

Alas to write of love and loss and death
Should cause us all to savor every breath
And yet we squander time and precious ink
Commenting on the thoughts that others think

For thoughts are woven from recycled thread
Rekindling the life of things for too long dead
Cause us to search for long forgotten tears
For thoughts of death awaken all

Love and Loss

                    Love and Loss

Ghosts of missed chances, haunt my restless mind,
Regrets and what-ifs, leave my heart confined.
Yet I raise my glass, to hope’s flickering flame,
Praying for love’s revival, a second chance to claim.

So I wander through

A poem on Love and Loss

The wind was blowing east
Then it kissed me on the cheek
Why was it all Greek?
Was it blowing from the west?

The wind lifted me up,
Every single little part
Of me was free

With those three words
You gave me to the world
The wiles turned to smiles
The beers turned to cheers

That one little decision
Was a big gift for me
You knew

The Shadow's Embrace: A Tale of Love and Loss

In the shadows where silence reigns,
Death's icy touch, no soul refrains.
A whisper soft, a chilling breath,
Steals away, the sting of death.

In the depths of night, where fears abide,
Grim specter lurks, where shadows hide.
With hollow eyes and ghostly stare,
It claims its prize, with little care.

A mother weeps, her child now gone,
In sorrow's grasp, she's left alone.

Legend of the Sun and Moon

The Lakota Sioux tell a story about the sun and moon
which is ultimately a story about love…and loss…
about two tribes that lived on either side of a river…
a river they were forbidden to cross.

But one day a young girl from the moon tribe on one side of the river
and a young boy from the sun

Twice As Much

When they fell in love he felt blessed to find a person he adored.
He couldn’t control his happiness…he’d never felt such love before.

He thought he loved her more than anyone could love her…
He thought he loved her like no-one ever had…
until the day she took him home and introduced him to her dad.

Immediately they understood

Love and Loss

Oh, the ballad of love and loss
A tale that's oft been told
Of hearts that break and love that's lost
Leaves a heavy weight on one's soul

Once, I loved a fair maiden
Her beauty like the morning sun
But she left me, without warning
And my heart was undone

I wander now, through fields and forests
Searching for what I've lost
But she's

Love and Loss

I have never known addiction
in the way that I know it
when I feel you caress me
when I feel your lips touch mine
when I hear your voice in my dreams
you walked into my life as if you
were a force of nature
enchanting me from the moment I saw you
captivating my soul, my heart, my mind
enthralled by your

Drifting Souls Suspended in Love and Loss

Love and loss are a heaven and a hell;
     a purgatory and limbo, a place
of sorting out: a place where lovers fell;
     and drift into reflective, lonely space,
a realm that's not a lover's citadel,
     but still a place where souls may yet embrace.

A Tale of Love and Loss

****************
since my youth I’ve been
motivated by passionate reveries
that the very essence of my soul sees-
family and friends seeking only kindness
from me, as I pay love forward ten times more

once, two roads forked into unknown paths and
with all my strength I followed the grey horizon,
then gifts flowing from my hands began to heal-
a tale of love
