Teen Romance Poems

Falling In Love

Can we meet again?
You, wearing your black jacket;
Me, empty in mind or thought.

You ask what I want.
I want long hours of chatter.
Know you are happy,
even when I am not.

Can we meet again?
This time, both of us touch each other's souls, holding on and never letting go.
Should a heartbeat book an appointment?
A touch of soul, a

Alarm

I’m a sentinel, fair Romeo
- scanning the liquid dark,
and ready to whisper alarm
at the first sign of romance.

Tangled

I put my hands on the table after you.. 
I drink from your half-empty glass.. 
I sit in your still-warm chair. 
I signal you but I am a candle at noon.. 
I call you but I am a snowflake at sea.. 
Please don't go anywhere without me.. 
I long to be your shadow.
I want to

Oracle Whispers

Oracle please tell
me, (free of charge) about the
future that will be.

Show me the bright secrets
of love - be a mystic guide
for my bored heart’s relief.

What kisses may be played
on sweet, future nights with no
tentative whispers please.

Help me conquer the
confusing compresence of
desire and unease.

Romance Rambling

The conversation
takes an crushy turn - so my 
brain starts making quips.

My experience is
that my amorous impulses
are unreliable.

With my friends, my flawed,
carnivalesque attempts
at romance are legend.

Unless I'm starved
for embarrassment's grief
which I seldom am.

I will dodge, slither,
obfuscate and stall attempts
at intimacy.

What if I’m the 
Kind of girl that guys can’t
just fall in love with?

Steady Moments

I dread those moments
when infatuation begins
to be commitment.

When a wanting to
be together turns into
an obligation.

whoa, I can’t be
“your”  girl - I’m not looking
to belong to you.

What commands my heart
who knows? But it can't be
kept - pressed like a rose.

Is a girl b#tchy
if she won’t commit to 
a relationship?

Orphic Spells

Ex lovebirds of 
the tamest passion can turn 
so predatory.

Passive aggressive
schoolboys who mock whistle at
ex-girlfriends for spite.

Who scatter book bag
contents in mock accidents
for supposed revenge.

As witchcraft conjured
by the nonbelligerent
to silence the bully

I summon some sweet, 
musical, lascivious
words as orphic spells

In self-effacing 
defense to tame the awful
beast with dirty magic.

Effects of the Heart

(each stanza is a haiku - I think I’m in a Haiku phase)

I never think of
drinking tea - that's just not
me - but I like it

there are a thousand
things like those which define us
 - our many small choices

Are our passions choices?
"Our wild passions instruct us"
- said wise Shakespeare.

I don't choose to
quicken my heart at

Porcelain 1

He never knew the girl that wrapped her body in self-pity the nights she spent alone with no one else to warm her, blaming herself for every bad thing in her world.

He didn't know the girl that bathes her self in tears the nights shes too afraid of her self to shower because it was

At Western Washington State Fair

After traffic backup and teen crack ups,
my friends and I park and toward today’s lark,
through gate, stamp and bracelet I race
greeting other friends with new to make.

Amid fried onion reek and the compete
smell of fresh buttered strawberry scone
tastes tantalize—corn dog and cotton candy
and the lingering hunger we dare not name…

Will we catch breath with a
