Love And Loss Poems - Poems about Love And Loss

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....

He Will Find Love Again
He Will Find Love Again Love was the shield that guarded his heart, A sky of clouds protecting his universe. He was playful, innocent, full of light— Determined to conquer the world with his sight. But his strength began to fade As love slipped quietly away— Not out of betrayal, But for the hope of something better. He watched it disappear Like grains of sand...

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...

A light springtime shower watering each danity little flower Reminiscing of a time when we sat on the stoop swinging to and fro on the porch swing of life Sharing great memories and dreaming of a time, when we could build our own house and plant a garden divine I'm missing you my love for each day have...

The Zii Factor
How do I explain how desolate life feels without you? The heart craves your presence and the eyes search only for you. You're gone, maybe not forever, But this feels like eternity. How do I tell you how lonely I feel even with a contact list full of names? People who would speak. Yet I wait for just one thing, A long...

With Spring Comes Fall
there is beauty in falling in love like soft spring the sun blazing in all its bright glory but not too harshly the clouds adrift - patchy enough to let the light seep through the trees create a wonderful view even the flowers bloom differently and when the fall comes the leaves leaving their branches almost flowing through the wind to end up on...

Premium Member 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...

Soul Deep
Soul deep pain washes through - smoke and mirrors obscure my view. Heartache guides me - cold, silent, strong. I bleed with shadows; his ghost’s swan song. It breaks me open. I live the pain. I feel nothing. I start again. Skies now clear - a panoramic view. The ache that broke me has seen me through My heart now glows gold-lit with love . I...

puddle
i will grip the last shards of you, until the edges slice my palms. through skin and tissue, muscle and bone, 'till its through the other side. when it lands on the pavement, blood-soaked and broken, i'll clasp my palms together, stronger than we ever were, and scoop up the shattered pieces. i'll cradle them, with that gentleness you one day forgot, and never shown me...

Tunnel To The Soul
i find myself lost in a crowd. i see a distant memory gaze by, everything falls silent even when this place was so loud. i tried to keep moving on past it, but now i find myself seeking that place. i have tunnelled too deep, we now stand face to face, i am gazing down the tunnel to her soul. as...
