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.

Ronin of Love - August 23rd, 2024
by Gilligan Snolepart
I am a ronin of love
With no master to serve
A woman to cherish
Care for and look after
Whom I can call my own
Floating away with false abandon
Through the sea spray of chaos that is the world
All I can do is meander
Get into mischief and

Luminous
by Sumit Maurya
The touch that gives an unspoken promise,
That we'll be together longer than our lives
The smile that advocates the existence of comfort,
It's a proof how love always survives
Your presence that makes my bitty life complete,
Your dulcet tone is the treat to my ears
It's a blessing that you and I are us,
You touched a cinder and made it luminous.

Nurturing Love Through Life's Challenges
by Lukman Nurudeen Adeniyi
Amidst love's journey, conflicts always arise.
Tackling trials, growth coherently becomes evident.
Within struggles, our radiance shines through.
Through understanding, we live with ease.
We mend; wounds heal, strength apparent.
A journey together, imperfect yet true.
With benevolent words and no malice,
And an act of forgiveness inherent,

Come Bite The Apple
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
It started completely innocent
With all the best of intentions...
We were both working really hard
On our mutual abstentions...
We went together as friends
To her first Mardi Gras ball...
The furthest thing from my mind
Was that I was going to quickly fall...

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,

Endless
by Joel C
Two doors open—
one flat on a sandy hill,
mine beneath a flickering light,
like a dying eye.
We step through,
and the tearing begins—
the skin of the world,
the brittle edge that held us in,
and kept us apart.

Bonds
by Aditi Hayaran
Bonds aren't easy to weave,
Trust, love, and balance, they believe.
A delicate thread, carefully spun,
Once formed, let it be truly won.
Strong ties aren't built overnight,
They need patience, shining bright.
Doubt's a shadow, dark and deep,
Can shatter the bond in its sleep.

Things that Fade Quietly
by J.P. Madrid
I think I started forgetting you
on a Wednesday afternoon,
somewhere between folding laundry
and listening to the rain tap the window.
It didn’t hurt,
not at first.
Just a small,
unnoticeable shift in the weather.
You were never mine.

Scornful nostalgia
by Tobias Winters
Dew doth drop with gentle hue,
On petals tinged a bashful blue,
As bees swoon to swollen pollen;
I crave back that view to fall in;
‘Tis you, ‘tis you.
As sea kisses the night sky,
Before day doth due the two goodbye,
I lie; a rock on thine tender shore;
And beg thou to crash upon forever more.
