Love Lost Poems

We're different roads

We walk divergent paths, you and I,
Two distinct journeys, like parallel lines in the sky,
Our minds, a dichotomy, a clash of thought and deed,
I navigate logic's realm, while you follow feelings' creed.

Our communication, a discordant symphony,
I'm measured, you're impulsive, a contrast in harmony,
My words, a calculated risk, yours, an emotional release,
We're worlds apart, in every

Over the Storm

The rain falling down my face,
The pain in my heart,
Losing you again,
Has torn me apart,

The thunder so loud,
The lightning so scary,
The feelings I have,
I just can't seem to bury,

The tornado's are real,
They twist and they turn,
My calls not answered,
My messages: Burned,

The floods come in,
Washing things away,
The memories remain,
Will I rebuild someday?

This storm is unforgettable,
The havoc

The Lost Half

The cosmos, day and night, hath borne bright laughter true,
If once thy gaze fell here, my heart would drink its hue.

Thou art the lost half, I the seeker in desire,
Who seeks shall find; the finder’s flame shall never tire.

Though years of exile’s separation sweep me far and wide,
The light of union still within my soul

Midnight pining

Those minuscule gaps,
the dripping from the tap, 
that soon became the sea between you and me

My fading glow, with the things I didn’t know. 
How you’d take my years as your sign to go. 

But am I ever in your head, dead of night, in your bed?
Do your hands still reach for the phone? 

Does

SECOND CHANCE

If I ever had to live with regret
It would be the choice I made
That day just past midday
When the world dropped its mask.

There I stood adrift in thought
Drowning in a tide of anger
Sinking beneath my own silence
Wounded by what I didn’t know.

If I could build a softer clock
I’d turn its hands back gently
To the moment

True love, is always constant and works to make a feeling of love with every kiss and hug. 
True love is a rush of emotion, that fills the air with sweet love and

A Night Beneath the Sky

Not once did I blink,
Afraid your gaze would fade at twilight’s brink,
Drowning silent in your soundless sea,
Begging the world to let me be,
Even if death walks next to me.

No past to flee,
No future to believe,
Only you — a shadow near,
Clutching time in a crystal tear.
I won’t let go of your hand,
Though skies might break and

WHAT IF LOVE IS A MYTH?

Love is kind.
Love is patient.
Love gives.
Love understands.

But what if
love is only kind
until it teaches you to kneel
for crumbs and call it a feast?

What if love isn’t perfect
not because we weren’t
but because fate crossed our paths
when we were meant to grow apart?

They say love is giving
but what if I gave too much
until I forgot the sound
of

SELF-INFLICTED WOUND

Like a storm trapped in her chest
she moved in circles
footsteps restless
heart pounding louder than thought.

She had lived inside a lie
vowed to love through anything
clung to promises already crumbling
made peace with pain to feel something.

When dawn rose, it lit the truth
the smiles were masks
the kisses rehearsed, and yet, she stayed
not for love, but for the hope

Presence

my heart hums
love I won’t confess—
close, she glides,
a lone shade,
pressing palms against my skull—
where ancient pain cracks.

You Left Me Breathless

your beauty overwhelmed me
your life was so carefree
I loved you more than you did know
perhaps I told you more than show

when you said goodbye
tears fell from the sky
with you I was so blessed
without you I am so breathless

Shadows

we're living with shadows, 
I know we can't forget. 
We are not the same ones we were. 
Quite the opposite.
You gave me your reasons, 
and I couldn't live with them
so you don't owe me a thing.
 Can I ask you this?
If you have an answer
 and I find a question for it. Can we
dance in

LOVE LOST

Love lost, by lies and broken promises. 
Lost by the one who promised forever, then became lost. 
Lost by evil and forces of dark. 
Lost by greed and other forces that mark. 
Love is always the path to light and love. 
Sadly, some cannot find their way to true love and get lost.
