I see in your almond eyes that bittersweet love, Flowing slowly as you gaze at my pale and silent face, Your heart may now carry pure intentions, without shadows, But I cannot erase the stings, insults, betrayals, screams, Though I want to love you, my heart has had its share of pain, Now every fiber of my being is tired...

Love is cruel, a heartless game A punishment for minds unwell, a flame That burns with fervor, yet brings despair A bittersweet reminder of love's cruel snare It taunts and teases, a merciless delight A rollercoaster of emotions, day and night It lifts us high, only to let us fall A never-ending cycle, beyond recall Love is cruel, a test of will A trial...

Stockholm syndrome. Entrapped. Entranced by you. Pheromones. Googally eyes. Butterflies. Feeling so good should never be so wrong. Took a deadly double dose of this drug. Almost took a bite of your apple. Your horns are growing. Your hold on me is indestructible. Your facade is better than the real you. I remember when you said you'd always be here in the backyard lights. And then...

The old Grim Reaper, everlasting gate keeper Lies waiting like a cannibal ‘round the bend, For every kind of soul turning this life frigid cold On the other side of memories, family and friends. While praying to our gods and hoping against all odds To feel, touch and smell the scent of rose, Beyond this life full of wrong...

We flirted and got closer throughout the day. Not wanting to get caught, I pray in vain. Our plans were just a matter of waiting. Out in the parking lot, I stood patient. He arrived casual and smiling. I had my hands shaking. Behind the open van’s trunk. I stood still, feeling stuck. To kiss. or not to kiss? My mind raced with raging thoughts. Two...

Bittersweet, or just a hard pill to swallow? I’ve done this to myself, haven’t I? Watching it crumble around me, Piece by piece, Like everything I once held so tight, Now slipping through my fingers, Flames to ashes, Ashes to dust. I know what I’ve done. I know it all too well. Yet, I feel nothing. Not even the searing burns on my skin, From the fires...

With the wedding ceremony over… the bride and groom and guests have returned back from where they roamed… The wedding chapel we created… has turned back into a home. It’s funny although the wedding was beautiful… once the ceremony and partying is complete… in the silence of it’s wake…I feel…a little bittersweet. There are moments in life so magical you wish...

The bittersweet days of our spring love slowly slip away, Like a silver river winding under the night sky, They drift gently, like rose petals from a lost dream, And I immerse myself in the memory of nights when we burned with stars in our hearts, The sky spun in a hypnotic dance, we, two infinities lost in light...

My dear Souper Sara Etgen-Baker tastes bittersweet moments. Sweet, because she's riding on a beautiful horse to be a number one. Bitter, because she doesn't have the same time to spend in the PoetrySoup with her brothers and sisters. We've already missed you my Texan friend, you must know. Let me give you my advice my dear friend: Ride well on this race that life...

We all need it, or rather, we all want it. Some say it's a noun, others say it's a verb. But I know it's a feeling that makes two hearts beat as one. This feeling brings abundant happiness, but also heartbreak, stress, and depression. Some avoid it due to its negative effects. But I believe we should remember that no...

Love is a catastrophe, a bittersweet madness, a wild affliction that invades your soul, Disturbs your peace, devastates your routine, transforming you into a shadow of what you once were, Each moment under its spell an odyssey of contradictory emotions, Like a storm sweeping across the fields of your heart, uprooting the fragile roots of balance, And yet, when...
