  • Struck
    by Brian Griffiths

    I see your image / Drawn directly into my mind, / Soft strokes of the gradations / Of your personality, / The highlights and even the darker …

    The first of a cycle, of unrequited love.

  • Unrequited Love
    by Tom Newman

    The depth of love / The success of love is simplicity to measure

  • Unrequited love

    -Does he? / -No. / -Shit! I do!

    Useless dialogue

  • I wish
    by Arletta

    I wish that you were as ugly / as you make me feel, inside

    Yes, I intended the word to be spelled that way, for it is the one I meant to use. If you don’t know what I mean by that, it’s all to the good, I suspect. This was written on 1/26/2008 and in regards to the usual suspect.

  • Used To Be
    by Arletta

    I used to be inspired ….

    Truthfully? It was written precisely because I felt rather dead, that day. There are persons who like it, though, so …

  • Closing my eyes ...
    by Arletta

    I can still hear your laughter / and the crying that came after / Echoing down the halls of time

    Author’s Comments / Just something I was half awoke and started composing in my mind. I forgot some of it, added other bits in, etc. as I hadn’t finished it before I got up .. didn’t want to lose it. I had one I was building in my mind before, when I was too tired to get up and do anything about it, something about my daughter but it had to do with dipping ink pens and it was really really .. profound .. the sort of poetry that One wishes one could write but seldom does, I think. And in case of point, One didn’t, so .. So this time I woke up and got on the computer and gave it my best shot lol

  • Oh to be a deviant
    by Arletta

    Drinking in images which roll out my eyes / Wishing they wouldn’t stain my face

    Old commentary, from when I was still on Deviant Art, follows: “Actually, this poem was completely spur of the moment and was inspired by me trying to think of something to put in the little “listening to ” and such categories when posting a journal entry. Well, and obviously inspired, in part, by my being gonzo over clown boy! grrr “ Yes, in some respects, I still have it bad for clown boy, the tattooed wonder that he is, but I think I have gone and developed a crush on someone different, in his absence. I am a loyalist, but don’t deal well with tedium grin

  • Something you should know
    by Arletta

    tattoos, piercings, hair dye .. / all the things that bring brightness / and beguilement to your plumage

    Written a wee while ago for the very same, previously mentioned, tattooed wonder. And yes, he is a wonder. He keeps me wondering, all the time. lol

  • No Longer Sure
    by Arletta

    That I am no longer sure of such love / As grips me in it’s greedy grasping fear

    I think, in a way, poetry is like masturbation It is usually ugly and only of worth to the person doing it .. but that’s not what I meant. It’s a form of release when you can’t get what you want or feel you need .. or, in happier moments, a way of hastening a reaching towards another … Not that I advocate masturbation .. but, then, I’m not really into poetry, unless the person is very very good or I care for them a lot. So, go and equivocate that, shall you?

    Fluttering veil fell; tears slipped silently

  • If eyes are the windows to the soul
    by Arletta

    It explains why they grow weaker as we age, especially without caring for them well / His soul was brown and veiled, seemingly deep, but l…

  • Story of the Unrequited
    by Anastasia G

    Your expressions change frequently – I know them all. Your smiles and frowns, your laughs and all your tears. I know how you feel.

    I wrote this a few months ago. I look back on it and it does sound a little too sad and desperate. I was going through a moment. I was full of emotion and angst and I had to get it out…so I wrote. :D I hope you guys love it. Love can be a wonderful thing. It’s tragic, sad, depressing and physically painful but it can also bring out the best in you, can make you smile, make you happier than you can ever be and that is a beautiful thing. May all of you find love! / _________ © This is copyrighted and owned by the artist Anastasia G.

  • Don't Save The Last Dance For Me....
    by marieangel

    As the hurt comes tumbling down, I reside around for more. / So many want to enter this obelisk ….pedestal…. / bygone… door..and I wo…

    I read of so many hearts that experience the words of this poem / In my every day work as a spiritual reader. I meet many Alices ..although this piece is not written from personal experience..I listen, hear and people watch and I feel their pain of unrequited love… time and time again….if only they had the courage to do just this… stand up be counted have self value and turn the tables on the ones who hurt and ignore…when they themselves are so special, but often cannot see for their own beauty evades the true picture…you know who you are…?.

    I write this for myself and for the love I may never know and for all those who have lived or are living through long distance or with unrequited love. xx
