Love Poetry

Love is the gentleness of your hands
it is the things you don't demand
its in the way you look at me
its in the heart inside of me....

Love is the painfulness of your fists
It is your abusive reprimands
It is the way you look at me
Tearing out the heart inside me...

Take me in your arms
lets fly away
to a place that is ours
a place where we can stay

Pick me up softly
take me into the night
on wings of the angels
let us take flight

Give me your heart
I will give you my soul
seperate we are nothing
together we are whole

Up and above the clouds
thats were I want to go
with you holding me tightly
never letting go

I am so crazy about you
if you could only see
I was made just for you
and you were made for me

I can only dream
that you are mine to hold
for the feelings that I have for you
can not in words be told

So I will see you later
if only in my dreams
that is the most I can hope for
at least thats how it seems.

When I wake up
And turn my head
You are what I wish to see
Beautiful eyes staring back at me

When I drive to work
And I look to my right
You are what I wish to see
Beautiful eyes staring back at me

When I come home
And open the door
You are what I wish to see
Beautiful eyes staring back at me

When I go to sleep
And I lay my head to rest
You are what I wish to see
The person who completes me

Some call it crazy
And that may be the case
It is just something
I’ll have to learn to embrace

Love
Touching my body
My soul
Sing to me

Love
Touching my soul
My whole
Bring to me

Love
Why did you hate me?
I guess I didn't like myself
I was too skinny
Too ugly and too uncool

I had a nice car love
Yet you ignored me
You spent time
With what's his face
He was popular

I was invisible
But I stood out love
The skinniest kid in school
People remember that
I should have enjoyed celebrity

I ran pretty good too
No, I didn't play football
The homos usually went for that
All that grabbin' and slappin'
I love women love

Top ten in the state cross country
A good miler and two miler
Ran an impressive marathon at 17
But you didn't see me love
I was the skinny awkward kid

Eventually I grew into my body
You didn't know that love
I hung myself in my kitchen at 26
But you didn't know that
You were busy with your life

Now you're a shadow of your old self
On husband three and real heavy
Hard to believe you were so cute once
I'm glad I was a mess then not now
You're dead and yet still alive

Looking back
I realize that you didn't exist
I created you like a myth
You were always ugly
I was just a rube

I have no regrets
Here in this other place
God is cool when you can find Him
The universe is a big space
Here I just am

I love my lover
I don't want no other
I want no other her

I want her to love me
I want her to know me
I want her to want me

She needs me
She does for the wrong reasons
She wants security more than loving me

Her security is more important than loving me
Her thoughts are that love doesn't pay the bills
Her husband thinks money doesn't make up for misery

One thinks of balance
One wonders if there can be a middle ground
One wonders what it's like on the other side of the fence

Her security is more important than loving me

She needs me...I want her to love me

I love my lover

Seems the life I've had
Could make a good man bad
But this just isn't so
My heart is still whole
Still pumping good blood
Sometimes it floods
Makes me want to cry
But I don't know how or why
I'm sensitive and emotional
Have a good heart still
My lover doesn't create this
I'm the master of what is

Seems like the life I live
Where all I can do is give
But this just isn't so
If you don't love me, let me know
Thick blood runs through my veins
My skin is thin, nothing is ever the same
As it was when we met, I cry
Because I miss the days of you and I
I'm emotional, I'm feeling
And you've left me reeling
My lover is unaware
That I'm silently waiting there

Red Eye

With love
Comes love's evil siblings
Jealousy, rage and lust

I took the red eye
To your heart
And got black and blue

You don't trust
So you can't love
You're jealous of ghosts

Angry at the world
And lust after the worthless
You always want something else

I love you
I want you to know that
Unconditionally but I have limits

Eventually
You have to figure it out
You have to choose me

Otherwise
You are going to lose me
What’s it going to be ?

Thank you Carrot. I appreciate it the nice words. You keep writing one great one after another. Keep up the good work yourself!!

Red Eye (cont.)

Took the red line
To your heart
Where all vessels meet

We all did a meet and greet
While your heart decided
Whether to continue beating

There’s a part of you that shines
But you keep it covered
Behind this shrine to pain

You’re afflicted
With the disease of self hate
So you hate the one’s you love

I’m sick of fighting
Tired of trying to work it out
Can my lover come back ?

Can lover come out to play ?
Come to me lover
I know you’re in there my lover

Ditch

I'm all out of love
I have none left to give
And none to be given
I'm driven to drive off a cliff
Dead in a ditch
Due to the bitch and fameless
She's shameless
And blameless in her lameness

I'm all out of love
I've tried too many times
Living alone doesn't work for me
So I'll live alone in the ground
Out of town
Out of sight and out of mind
Others will wait in line
To get a piece of that behind
Only to be buried next to me

One after another
Brother buried beside brother

I do love this thread! There are some great pieces here...Thank you all for sharing them! If I may...

RED

I gave you my heart
you threw it away
tattered and torn
now sickeningly grey
I pieced it back together
and although it still bled
the grey is subsiding
I colored it red.

This isn't exactly lovy poetry...But you know....

All My Shame All My Sin

I can tell you I'm a monster. I can tell you I'm a thief.
I've stolen hearts and never gave them back, as
they were all shattered by my hands. And all I can
do is write a silly poem. I've bore sin all my life.
I've raped souls with simple words and never took
a second look. I can tell you I'm a poet though I've
never known what that means. I've written books full
of anguish and self-pity and never stopped
to think how it all really seems.

I've been a lover with the sharpest edges known to man.
I've been a hunter with no mercy in my hands.
I've tortured heart and soul without ever knowing
what I'd done. I've torn into fragile minds all the while
thinking you & I were having fun.

I've used my love to write the sweetest poems on Earth.
All the while wishing I could be the poem the emotional
abuse was worth. I've used sex to exact absolute control.
Never knowing I never had control at all. So when she says
I'm the monster in her life, my only thought is of those nights-
When she would wake up crying. Knowing it was me who wasn't
trying. Knowing it was me and all my lying.

I offer no excuses for all my shame and sin.
I only offer the truth that was written on my skin.
And I know one day I will lay here dead.
And on that day my former love will put her
pain to bed.

I Don't Know

There's some things
That never get through me
There's some things
I never know
I don't know why
I belong here
I don't know
Where else to go
I wanna believe
That you love me
I want to with
All that I know
I just don't know

- EB

You have me wrapped around your finger
Like a coil wrapped around a battery
You’re like a magnet
You’re a magnet

I told you my broken heart would linger
You told me it doesn’t have to be
You’re like an addiction
I gotta have it, gotta have it

I think about you everyday, and every time
I wonder if it will ever become a reality
I’m like a bad lie
You see right through me, right through me

I wish you were mine, so I practice every line
But you’re looks always rattle me
You’re like nobody else
You’re the only one who knew me-

You know me
And for that
I am no longer lonely

My fears, just to list a few
Have to deal with you
So in all fairness, I will lay them out
This way you know what I speak about

First is the fear, that you pity me
That you feel too bad to be totally honest
You wish that I would go away
But I’m the pity case, so you let me stay

I also fear that you will turn on me
Or simply leave me when I need you
I’ll look for you when I need you the most
But you are nowhere to be seen, just like a ghost

I fear so much, that you will reject me
I fear this more than anything else
I know the sting, I know the pain
I know what it’s like, for things to never be the same

For things to never be the same
That is a fear in itself, a fear for me
I cherish this thing we have, I won’t mess it up
With three big words, I won’t dress this up

I’ll be blunt with you
Like I hope you’ll be blunt with me
You are everything I want
I like what I see

Every time you are in front of me

She came from
an L.A. canyon
queen of the black
arts and kept me
captive by her torture.
She made patterns
on my skin.
How can we do this?
Blood love ritual
Deathhead stone
Why am I writing
this down?
