Example of one of our Works in our extensive library at www.poetryamerica.com

“Doves Love”

Ouite precious to behold,

Enchantement overwhelming.

The Cry of the Dove,

Is quite melodious.

The bonds-

We hold so dear.

As one reaches-

For their soulmate.

The message of Love,

As brought by a Dove.

What better medium is there to write about love then poetry?
The very essence of poetry is expressing with a few words, colossal emotions. Love is such an overwhelming and confusing emotion. The whole world seems to revolve around love. Everyone is searching for love. Yet how many can say they found love and kept it? Love is so beautiful when untainted. Yet, it can cause so much pain and suffering when mistreated. We have many sad love poems for you to read as well.

Turbulent Emotions
Poetry about love and romance display some of the often overwhelming and confusing feelings that are unavoidable when you open yourself up to the vulnerability of love. Vast emotions are compressed into a few short lines of poetry.

“Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.”

Sad love poems

Sad love poems contain feelings of anger, hurt, betrayal, and loss which follow a failed romantic relationship. This is the cost of love. Beautiful things don’t come cheap. Sad love poems, lost love poems, good bye poems and broken heart poems reflect the vulnerability which follows the high that comes with love.

What do you think? Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

I hold it true, whate’er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
‘Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

~Alfred Tennyson – 1850

 Here is an example of one of many Sad Love Poems in our website at www.poetryamerica.com

Heart Break

I thought he was the one

He said I was for him

But I guess we never realized

How our love was very dim

He said we should just be friends

And I said sure why not

Not realizing that opening my mouth without crying

Would take everything I got

I know he still cares for me

But I don’t know if it will stick

I just don’t get how your love for someone

could end so very quick

Sometimes life really stinks

You just have to let it run its course

You just might have to get up

And climb back on your horse
