Short Love Poems - Butterflies And Bows And I Think I Need

Poem – Butterflies And Bows

I color my life in shades of pink
I’d soak up the sun in a single blink
Coz there’s so much more I’m yet to see
Coz there’s so much of me I’m yet to be

All my dolls have their names
My memories locked in picture frames
Coz there is so much in my arms to hold
Coz there are still stories that’ve never been told

I dream of roses and red wine
And of the day a young prince would be mine
Coz there’s so much love I’m yet to feel
Coz there are so many hearts I’m yet to steal

They stare at me and measure my waist
These pretty slimy naggers are such a pest
They blow me smoke I take in air
They say things but I don’t care

Coz they can’t reach me I’m a distant star
Remember always:
No butterfly is too heavy for a flower.

Poem – I Think I Need

A pint of butterflies,
A shot of sighs,
Many a slice of the sky
No opinions, no whys
A few bags filled of efforts
And none too much of strife
Are all i think i need,
For a breath of living,
Of life

Some sons crushed in a plate,
All stars plucked off the nights slate
Each sent to guide a lost
Before time runs out, its too late.

Catch a fistful of abundant time,
And bury it under the sand,
See a planet grow thereof,
Another era, another land.

Steal all the seas from this earth,
And nurture with them my dreamland,
Blow the moon up in fragments,
And light the fires of many a hearth.

Measure the worth of everything gold,
And parlay it to my loves life,
Catch his smile glance and kisses,
To light, to minister,
My years  of shrinking conscious,
And of grave gery old.

Brew some joys in a cauldron,
And pour it all, over the world,
Wish back Lord all the battles
Wipe all lost, all won.

Wish my wishes were no more just wishes,
Wish my wishes were true stone laws,
Wish all hearts were cleansed and linked,
No wrongs ever, ever no flaws,
Wish all goodness had power to be,
Right from the start,
Wishes, wishes and wishes,
Wishes wishes few more and some
Are all i think i need
For a breath of living, of life.

Short Love Poems – Point Of No Return And Valentine’s Day

Short Love Poems - Point Of No Return And Valentine's Day

Poem – Point Of No Return

An intrusion is a breach
And an intruder is a convict
That’s the way it stays
No allegory can make it less juvenile

What if you’ve gone too far
And now what’s intruded
Is no longer in front of you
But within

This is the point which dries up my soul
I have given up all that I had
Now I sit and wait
At the other end of the river
With my hands all tied
And the silver brook flowing
Right over my face
This is the point when I want to recede
Back to the time when it all never started

Rue a dream

My arrested soul begs for a retreat
I know not a way out
It’s a sudden lull which
I wasn’t ready for
A void which comes between pleasure and duty
A stance of utter delusion

But I am glad if everything stops right here
For this is where I need to take a turn
Back where I was lost

Lost not dead.

Poem – Valentine’s Day

They say it’s their day, the lovers
And I thought everyday was theirs

A rose day, a hug day
A teddy day and one for chocolates
A day for proposals
A day for promises

A day for promises they have, the lovers
And I thought promises were forever

All these days of romance
Lead to that special one
The day, they celebrate love
The day, they celebrate themselves

They say “you will never understand
Coz you are not in love”
They say “you will be a skeptic
Coz you have never loved”

“You have never loved”
They said to me, the couple
The very moment brought about a faint smile
A smile that was filled with pride

Pride of having loved him
Pride of the promise
The Promise, that was eternal
The celebration that was divine

Eternal promise,
Witnessed by the moonlight
Moonlight shining in the lake

Moonlit night
By the lakeside
His arms
Giving me shelter
His hair, in my hands
As if protecting me from the moonlight
His touch
Making my heart tremble
His lips, calling my name
Yearning to be with me

As he took me in his arms
I closed my eyes and surrender
Surrendered myself to his love,
To his love, to my fate
They say love eludes you
I tasted love, as his lips met mine

As his lips met mine,
My heartbeat just stopped
As if wanting to live a thousand lives,
In that one moment

Even the moon was conspiring
Shining on his hair
Making me fall in love with him
All over again

The one night,
By the lakeside
In the moonlight
When we made love
Like there was no tomorrow

Even cupid will be envious
As It’s not even in his might
To write, a love story
So perfect, so ecstatic

And reminiscing my love
All this while
With that faint smile I just walked by
Letting them, the lovers enjoy their day
The day they call, the Valentine’s Day.

Short Inspirational, Motivational Poems About Life For Women

1) Poem – That A Day Shall Pass

May be I asked for it

But when?

Not when I was awake

Never.. in my wildest dreams.

But what do I claim for
I made no promises
Had left no hope
For I so had never thought

That..

A day shall rise

And a night would fall

That a possibility existed

That a moment would pass

When you’d think of someone else

And not me…

2) Poem – Chameleon

I pick up the colors
And paint my soul.
I close my eyes to look at what they want me to see.
I am a chameleon;
I change to survive.
I change to be me.

3) Poem – I Am Not Alone Now

I am not alone now,
Your absence lives in me;
like an old wine, your absence lives in me;
a silence that still speaks;
a tear that still smiles;
an unending melody of an unheard music;
an ending,
still to be started…

4) Poem – The Incorrigible Me

I think usually straight,
I lie when cornered,
I like to stand up,
For justice and for honor,
But not always does it stick,
For when the subject is me,
I become weak…

I have phases of songs,
Which dines on my time,
Nestles on my lips,
And the tune becomes mine,
To be hummed with the stars,
And with sunshine

I usually like to be loved,
And love to be worshiped,
Be it the tender heart of my child,
Or the ones of all my friendships,
Be it the loving gaze of my mother
Or the avid arms of a lover,
I love, I love, I do.
When I am the center for others.

Some years winters are cold n loneliness frigid,
I find d shackles of sane normalcy rigid,
Sacrifices empty, decisions all wrong,
Some moments precious, all lost, all gone,
I m not sure of nothing no more,
All ideals all convictions are distant folklores,
Same follies, same flaws,
Same fears same glee
Oh how I cannot, cannot but  avoid,
Being the incorrigible me!

5) Poem – Of Strange Beginnings And Ends

It starts.
He looks at me,
And I try to smile.
He smiles back.
He thinks of what else to do,
And finds nothing.
He smiles again;
It ends.

Memories…
You look at me,

And I try not to smile.
You smile back.
You think of what not to do,
And find something.
You smile again;
It starts.

6) Poem – Secrets

You promised
To embrace my naked scars
To erase my forbidden lines
And laugh off my gravest sins
You were my savior
My hero

But all it took was
A casual evening
And my life was all over
Your coffee table

And how I wished
This trust
would’ve passed the test of time

Now all that I am
Left with
Are your frozen whispers
And the touch
Of your
Last embrace.

7) Poem – Mountains Of Nothing

The moon is redeemed
in another sky
this aeon,too short for redemption

impregnated with illicit desires
the oceans a fugitive
of the land

the house is naked
windows no longer open
on the outside

the heart of charcoal
is sooted with goldust

it beats no more
it rattles

all this is too insignificant
to excite ’em
the world is bored

war is cheap.
