Love And Loss Poems - Poems about Love And Loss

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 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...

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...

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. A...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

**************** 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...

Once upon a time I saw you there Across the room, I couldn’t help but stare Something new was being born A feeling, I didn’t know I soon would mourn The perfect future flashed before my eyes Not like the one to come, with tears and lonely cries We did not know what the future would bring And yet you gave me...

Is it better to have loved and lost Then to have never loved at all The question still perplexes me For I've taken the fall A broken heart might mend in time Or go on feeling blue How are pieces gotten back That still remain with you The voids are filled with hardened thoughts That soon construct a wall Whose boundary guards a grieving...

"I love you." Three important words To show how we feel. Too oft spoken And not meant Or too little spoken When it is meant. To cherish one you love Is a noble ambition And oft under-appreciated. To let someone know The place they hold Deep within your heart. If we knew how long we had To be with our loved ones And it was only a day Would we still...

I can still remember the last time I saw you, A glimpse I throw before you leave the door. It was a rainy afternoon, Wind blew so hard,I asked you not to leave. But I have no strength to make you stay. You follow your heart, You left me in vain. Everyday, I ask to heaven. Why do these memories don't fade away. Why...
