love poems
Love poems for hopeless romantics; I'm the poet and you're my muse.
Shadows play after your light
Once bathed in light, your smile could banish night, Yet shadows linger where your footsteps fade, My heart recalls your warmth, once burning bright, And clings to echoes time and loss have made. The years entwine us, ghost of tender flame, A haunting touch that time cannot unbind, Your name still whispers, though I curse its fame, The dark remembers what the light left blind. Yet memory, cruel keeper of the heart, Turns joy to pain, then pain to joy again, Though time decrees we stand a world apart, Your shade still lingers where my dreams remain. So light and dark together weave their thread, A love half-living, shadow-married, now dead.

Forbidden, a love fantasy
You were the dawn, I darkness at the gate, Our hearts conspired where heaven drew its line, The stars bore witness to our tangled fate, Your light was lost, yet still it once was mine. I hold your shadow, warm against the cold, A ghost of flame that neither time can still. Forbidden love, a tale the fates foretold, Yet memory bends the laws of heaven’s will. What lives in dream defies both night and day, Though waking hours condemn what should not be. Your absence shapes the path I walk away, Yet binds me closer in eternity. So myth and memory together flow, A love long ended, yet it will not go.

Left on Red
I cannot bear it, losing such magnificence. You left me on red.
