Relationship Poems
The Apple Of My Eye
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
Every time I think of you my hands began to shake.
My knees begin to wobble and my head begins to ache.
You caused me nothing but trouble and I often wondered why.
I was good to you and I loved you so. You were the apple of my eye.
It started on the afternoon of the 23rd of May.
You were dating a boy named Anderson
but your game he couldn’t play.
Then when you saw me you fell in love
and you still love me today.

femme fatale
by slivered skin
she must be whom everyone wanted
they cry in front of her
, begging
their knees bleeding
through pleading
from something they knew
they cannot get
grey clouds fits the tears they all left
in the middle of the dance floor

The beaten heart
by Raven Quigley
My heart is black and blue
And I am not interested in you
Though considering
I maybe blue
I can be such a fool
For that can you win me for you?
Or will you play with me too?
Love is There
by Sharon Morgan
Love is There
But you’ve yet to see it
It is lurking in the wings
But you’ve yet to find it
It has a shape,
But you are yet to see it
Its heart beats
But you’ve yet to hear it
But when you do, then you will know
That when two hearts beat as one

Friends & Flatterers
by AKASH DEEP KUJUR
Reminiscing in a corner of room so dark,
And heart being ripped into particles of quark,
The pangs of guilt left an indelible mark!!
Betrayed by a soul in the midst of storm,
Meaning of trust underwent a rapid transform.
Somehow, he wiped off tears to assume a dauntless form!!
He lamented and mocked himself for being a fool,
As the path so taken was not that cool.

Different Corners
by Mario Odekerken
We sit in the same room
but lean into different corners,
your thoughts traveling north,
mine drifting west.
Between us,the quiet grows
not hostile,just honest,
a reminder that love
is not a mirror
but a space where two people

Between what was and what remains
by Mario Odekerken
There is silence
in the way you do not touch me.
Not distance,
but a thin layer of old light
between skin and skin.
Words hang
on the inside of your jaws,
ready to fall
but too heavy to shatter.

Zwischen dem,was war,und dem,was bleibt
by Mario Odekerken
Da ist Stille
in der Art,wie du mich nicht berührst.
Keine Entfernung,
nur eine dünne Schicht alten Lichts
zwischen Haut und Haut.
Worte hängen
an der Innenseite unserurer Kiefer,
bereit zu fallen,
doch zu schwer,um zu zerbrechen.

Tussen wat was en wat blijft
by Mario Odekerken
Er zit stilte
in de manier waarop je mij niet aanraakt.
Geen afstand,
maar een dunne laag oud licht
tussen huid en huid.
Woorden hangen
aan de binnenkant van onze kaken,
klaar om te vallen
maar te zwaar om te breken.

A Study in Scarlet
by Jonathan Goff
Act 1: Reckoning
Vinyl burns February skin.
A sticky valentine.
Handprint heat echoes
on cracked windows.
Your breath--
half prayer,
half epitaph.
Demons of the night
Dressed like angels,
