#romanticlove - Hello Poetry

Every man has left a different door open in me. I keep the lights on for all of them. I have learned to call this love instead of what it is: a mouth that stays open long after the word has gone. They come to me burning and I let them. I have held so many people through the worst nights of their lives and still gone to bed alone, my hands still warm from someone else's grief. The ribcage is a room. I have known this for years. I have furnished it for everyone but myself. How beautifully they applaud the bruise. To be known for the song is to be unknown for the throat. I am always the feast, never the table. I watched a boy kiss a girl under the streetlight, his mouth the anchor, her body the sea. I have so much water in me and I am still dying of thirst. They walked back to their lives I built out of air. I built out of air and called it enough. I called it enough. God, I called it enough.

I Have So Much Water in Me

Every man has left a different door open in me. I keep the lights on for all of them. I have learned to call this love instead of what it is: a mouth that stays open long after the word has gone. They come to me burning and I let them. I have held so many people through the worst nights of their lives and still gone to bed alone, my hands still warm from someone else's grief. The ribcage is a room. I have known this for years. I have furnished it for everyone but myself. How beautifully they applaud the bruise. To be known for the song is to be unknown for the throat. I am always the feast, never the table. I watched a boy kiss a girl under the streetlight, his mouth the anchor, her body the sea. I have so much water in me and I am still dying of thirst. They walked back to their lives I built out of air. I built out of air and called it enough. I called it enough. God, I called it enough.

Say I love you, Ms. T Willing am I, to change And expand my range But I will change only my behaviour Not my nature For you, can I be silent Become less brutally honest Speak more softly Walk more slowly Keep some distance Be less tense Irrespective of the situation Give you more attention Even go to jail if required As long as the cause is good! Say I love you, Ms. T With you, will I always be Loyal to the tee Through sunny and rainy days Even if I never get my way Your secrets, will I keep forever For you, deeply will I care However, never will I be overprotective No matter what, will I do my best to stay positive After all, are we a team And you make me beam!! Say I love you, Ms. T So much fun, can we have And so much, can I give A night out at Elliot's Beach Swapping tales at lunch While I savour a Beef Biryani Writing poems about each other Listening to Harris Jayaraj songs together Dissing the central government Getting into a Harry Potter related argument Travelling in a "toy train" Dancing in the Chennai rain The list will be endless And will I make sure, nothing you miss!! Say I love you, Ms. Y If you love me back I swear I will always have your back Because, are you my world And it is your hand I will forever hold If not, then thank you for this beautiful opportunity To write yet another piece of romantic poetry!!

It has often been said That true love doesn't exist But that doesn't stop me from dreaming After all, I am a romantic And it's not like I believe in true love Only because I've read about it in books Or seen it happen in movies and TV shows In fact, I've experienced it myself Not once, but twice On the first occasion, I was young and naive Enjoying life to its fullest And when the love bug bit me It was one of my happiest moments I looked forward to every single day And for the first time in many years I actually made a concerted effort To excel in academics However, to cut a long story short I missed the bus by a mile When it came to confessing my feelings Right, let's come to the second occasion Technically, it was an arranged marriage But for me, it was as good as a love marriage Because, after our engagement I grew so deeply attached to the girl That I was blind To all the red flags thrown at me Every now and then Again, to cut a long story short It eventually ended in a divorce However, as I've mentioned before I have not lost hope yet After all, time is still on my side However, I need to draw a line somewhere Firstly, being open and honest Is an absolute must I will tell you everything But I expect the same from you as well Secondly, I am looking for someone Who is loyal till the very end I will be with you Through thick and thin But if you cheat on me Then it's over, once and for all And finally You need to accept me as I am With my pros as well as cons That includes understanding my autism And the limitations it places on me Especially as far as social interaction is concerned Of course, it works both ways I am not looking for a perfect person either After all, if it's perfect Then it's not true love And one of the major reasons I still believe in true love Is that it's full of imperfections That's what makes it so endearing And so human

Well now this is sad and tragic For both of us to hear You and I at cross purposes Ever our fate, my Dear I just found your correspondence Last letter that you sent It was, I think, the final time That you called me a friend It was in a pile of papers From my old mother’s house With other cards and notes you gave Back when we were devout I will use these words to explain In a way you’ll never see That this miscommunication Gave a wrong view of me You sent it at a year or so After we were finished Within its words I sense your hope Love not yet diminished I think you may have mentioned it After you came back home When I once tried to talk but you Walked by and wouldn't slow A mutual friend spoke of it Some two decades ago And I was mystified because I simply didn’t know I didn’t recall the letter Forgotten its receipt But when I found and read its words I recalled its described deeds Your letter was at my mother’s ‘Cause I was injured bad I’d had surgery and meds With healing to be had I received it in the doorway Of my home at college I tore open with alacrity Falling from my crutches I read part of your note that day Then stuck it in my bag Packed your other notes and cards To fix the hurt I’d had After my knee operation Sitting up late at night Unable to sleep sound because Meds made my heartbeat slight I recall being sad one eve In Mother's modest home Watching her little poor TV Reviewing your slim tomes In your letter, amazing lands! And magical far places! And one hundred mile per hour Motorcycle chases! Such experiences you had all Through Europe’s bevelled plains! But I in healing poverty Felt sore lament and pain I could not join you there, at least Not for several years Did you even want me to try? You couldn’t know that fear Your family was very wealthy It’s hard for you to see The lowly circumstances That were the start of me You never knew how bad it felt My inadequacy To give you that magnificence That you deserved to be Poor upbringing was no issue For your generous heart You never held it against me Never pushed us apart But it caused misunderstandings From worlds so different And my worries about it too Increased how much it meant I read your letter ‘til I saw Your plans a year away When you said with hopefulness You’d move to Greece to stay That is on the note's second page I never read page three ‘Cause that's the point when I just knew That you were lost to me If I had read a bit further For a lover's redress Was hid a small request you made In false casualness You sought a call for your birthday Bare affection from me The letter asked for that action A simple courtesy Your year away almost over You were soon coming back I was thinking about restarting And fixing what I lacked Like truth serum the meds would have ****** away all my fight I’d have called you...so so quickly I’d have called you...ev’ry night My Precious Girl, I’d have called you There’s no way I wouldn’t Healing slow on a pleather couch There's no way I couldn't I used to wish for your number I was so ready too I’d been pondering what we’d had And I still wanted you You were badly hurt thereafter There was no getting through Your broken heart gave a verdict And THAT's when I lost you It’s a tragedy in our lives As that was your last sign Of my lack of real love for you And fickle boyish mind It rankles so much in me now Since that’s not how it was It’s just one of those fateful things God’s little joke on us …. A Happy Belated Birthday For now and all your life I wish you joyous contentment And love that’s free from strife But I know something deeply in My bones and in my soul I know I would have called you if I’d read your letter full And I’d have wished you way back then A Happy Birthday too And I’d have told you on that call How much I still loved you

I just saw you. The other day. You were so nice. You looked so great. Such emotion when we two meet! You are so tough. You are so sweet. For a moment I saw you melt When I hugged you and love we felt. How do I tell These things inside? How to confess These things I hide? You fill me up, then leave me empty. You push me back, then you tempt me. You cut me deep. You patch me up. You make me thirst. You fill my cup. You make me cold. You make me burn. You make me flee. You make me yearn. You make me strive. You make me lazy. You make me calm. You make me crazy. All of these things you do to me And so much more you’ll never see. Is this love real or just a toy? Am I your man or just a boy? Is this for now? Now together? Just your dalliance or forever? Can I stay true? Fidelity? Can you open yourself to me? I am your love you seemed to say. But you left and pushed me away. Then just get out! Leave me alone! Get off my couch! Now leave my home! Don’t walk away! Don’t ever go! You have to stay! Please come back home! I will let you bind me I will let you show me I will let you blind me I will let you know me I will let you grind me I will let you grow me I will let you find me Please come and find me I will be bold and I will mold myself to you, if you I hold. Please just show me that there are ways. That there’s a path past youthful days. I’m almost there. I’m almost ready. I’ll be better. I’ll be steady. I’ll never know you. But I will try to Do what I can do Because I love you.

Thirty tear-splashed pages My response with runny ink Not us anymore, don't you think? Fire consumed it in a blink You just left me! Okay, you had a chance You could not pass up For our romance I get that but... I said someday I'd marry you You threw it right in my face So I'm the non-Greek Catholic geek? Well, stick this in your Orthodox socks You'll never again disgrace This young Irish fool! Sated, but not happy anymore I am quick out the bed, going home After pleasing another random girl I AM good enough for To see you swish and twirl Through my rattled dome But I hope you sense or know How I just made HER toes curl How could you say Over a year every day How much you loved me But at the last drive away Like I'm just a roll in the hay? How could you tell me I'm just for college I'm a temporary smidge That we're not bound to be You give us short time Then leave for half of it You tell me "Have a nice life!" But you get a pass for it? And I'M that ***hole kid!? What's that bull****?! It is just nuts! Am I too poor and not tan? Am I too pale to be your man? So what! SO WHAT! How could you dis me like that Dismiss me like that And then give an act Like I hurt YOU so bad? Making it all so breezy You pop up and ask me to visit you 'Cause I have to show YOU something? After telling ME I can't be your Everything! And rolling away like I'm NOTHING! Dancing to your same tune For you, leaving was easy! Now, Little Rich Girl Write and tell me about your adventures I will listen awhile In lands I dream to see, but cannot be You spoiled child Tell me how great it is Tell me how your heart is light Tell me it all I want to hear it, right? Yeah. Not a'tall Tell me where you go While I do the same crap We did back here While I stay trapped Your outgrowing shows I give up. I'm done. You are NOT the One I'm not writing Even one letter, "My Friend" That I will send I'm not the stupid kind I see the request to write back Jump through the hoops you stack Maybe you want me back I read between lines I can hear you again I can sense your smell I see your face, taste your lips... **** it all to HELL! Where's my pen?!

A moments of sleepiness summertime The stillness is raised The love that flashes under your eyes... In a dream, in a mad valley I am not alone...... Every night, Every morning, Every afternoon I sing with goddess of my love.... This is a one of the finest vowels in romantic opera, Every nod reads the unborn love to you and me The moon light is flowing, and the ***** get dampen... maiden hands emerge in naked cloud .. frenzied embrace of her delicate body. In a dream, in a mad valley ... I am not alone oh.... my Goddess of love Forever together One love One illusion ... come on sink into this swing with me....

You're not as essential as oxygen or sleep. I could still walk without you. But, without you, who'd put the spring in my step, the jig in my day, the sun in a ray or the see in my say.

Still, this summer breeze; no wait for me or weight on me; you make me light and untouched by form, when we touched you were warm enough to startle the birds from the trees, on the summer breeze.

They asked me why I keep saying that I'm heartless. I told them it's a long story. But I saw the eagerness in their eyes. So I said that it all started the last time I fell in love. When I'm in love, I give my whole life. When I give my whole life, I mean literally everything. There are no walls, no boundaries, no space in between will keep me and my love apart. I fought the most terrible wars and survived all emotional storms and droughts. I sailed all seas and climbed all mountains for the sake of love. I held on so tight to the rope connecting me and the one I cherish the most. I rode all traveling trains and skipped all stops. It was nothing but magical. Every morning was a glory and every night was a sweet dream. I was so in love that I cared too much. I cared too much that I left my physical body on the ground while my spirit flew to the sky. I jumped from clouds to clouds following you like the moon to the sun. I couldn't keep my eyes off of you. But I was a prisoner of love. I loved you so much I became selfless. One day, I asked myself If I really did fully figured you out. Sometimes when I look at you, you give a smile that wasn't genuine at all. You were like a strange mountain no one has ever discovered yet. Were you not comfortable to show your bare self to me that you kept putting bricks to form a wall? I was dumb enough to think I could dig you up with my rusted shovel. I always hoped that the everyday love I offered you will give you sunrises not sunsets. But as you took them, all I could see was your hungry soul eating all positive energies. You were blue like a cloudless sky. I felt like the wine bottle you drank from each day. I slowly became empty. I was never refilled. And they say that saints and heroes are the only martyrs and for the first time in my life I felt like one. Strange how my only motivation was a flag with an inscription of the word love. Do you remember that very night when you asked me to let you go? It hurt me even more. I've been spending all my time just thinking about you. I loved you too much. But was that it? Was it because I loved you too much? Was it that you couldn't handle it? You never told me the reason. I watched as you readied yourself for the coming war that would end all city fires. You shattered all glasses in my shelves once you turned your back at me. I waited for you to utter your last words but you never did. You walked away like a member of a funeral band. I was left standing with now a hopeless dream. It was too late when I noticed that you were holding a cloth in your hands. I didn't know what was inside until I watched my hands unconsciously hold onto my chest. At that moment, I fell on the cold ground and swam on my own blood. You took my heart with you. You stole it from me. Before I closed my eyes that day, I swore to never love again. But why would I love? I am now heartless. My chest is now empty. I can never love anyone again. People like you come and go. I never knew that your true form was a thief with a black coat. You steal hearts and leave.

The story on how I became Heartless

They asked me why I keep saying that I'm heartless. I told them it's a long story. But I saw the eagerness in their eyes. So I said that it all started the last time I fell in love. When I'm in love, I give my whole life. When I give my whole life, I mean literally everything. There are no walls, no boundaries, no space in between will keep me and my love apart. I fought the most terrible wars and survived all emotional storms and droughts. I sailed all seas and climbed all mountains for the sake of love. I held on so tight to the rope connecting me and the one I cherish the most. I rode all traveling trains and skipped all stops. It was nothing but magical. Every morning was a glory and every night was a sweet dream. I was so in love that I cared too much. I cared too much that I left my physical body on the ground while my spirit flew to the sky. I jumped from clouds to clouds following you like the moon to the sun. I couldn't keep my eyes off of you. But I was a prisoner of love. I loved you so much I became selfless.
