A couple poems on love for Poetry Pot Luck

L'amour

Love: A Tragic Poem

Love has never been my friend;

It’s only stupid crushes ’til the end.

I kept looking for someone who understands,

Someone  I could also call a friend.

But my heart has too big a hole;

It’s just something I can’t control.

Love isn’t out there, it’s too far away.

It’s too beautiful, my mind says.

Lonlieness is easier than love,

Crying ever easier than happiness..

Better to remain alone,

My heart a vagrant with no home.


Love: A Semi-Tragic Poem

Love decided to not be my friend,

Since I stole and wrecked his  Benz.

I kept looking for someone who understands,

A friend who’d pay my bail with few demands.

I admit I ran into that pothole and lost control,

but you’d have done the same if  you  breathed in that much aerosol,

washing it down with a bottle of Nyquil to ease all the pain in my heart,

Grand theft auto and porn are easier than love from the start.

I could have found happiness in your arms,

but I guess that restraining order proves you’re immune to my charms.

Better to flee than call prison my new home,

Guess Tijuana will be where I roam.

  1. You did a fantastic job with this. There is nothing quite like a sad poem. I used to listen to Bright Eyes once in a while when for Christsakes.

    Still, that being said I have to disagree with you. It is actually much, much easier to be happy. Give it a shot and you’ll be amazed at how easily it comes and stays with you.

    • Hi Sumit!
      Thank you for visiting and the links. I’m sorry I haven’t visited, but will. I’ve sadly let my blog slide a little the last few days. I read my comments the moment I see them, but I need to work at the speed of response. It always thrills me to see folks read something I wrote and my regulars are very dear friends now. I hope to see you again!

  2. I have to admit, I was expecting a third, ‘un-tragic’ poem to balance this out and complete the triplet. (Maybe next time) But these two are good!

  3. Lisa, I love these tragic love poems. Keep writing poetry like this because, like I said, I love it, and I want more.

    The last line of your first poem: "My heart a vagrant with no home."

    I actually read this too quickly as "My heart a vagina with no home."

    Either way, I think it works.

    • I thoroughly agree. I should have used “vagina,” seeing as I love talking about mine so much.
      “My heart is a vagina with no little man to call its dusty darkness home.”

  5. ‘Love isn’t out there, it’s too far away
    It’s too beautiful, my mind says…’

    God, how much does your poem reflect my feelings and thoughts and fears exactly??
    I love them both, you’re a wonderful poet.
