A relationship is a connection between two individuals. When a couple falls in love it has become a loving relationship. The relationship has moved from two people simply in contact with each other to two people who can't get enough of each other. A loving relationship may build slowly like a train coming in the distance until when it gets to you it emits a deafening roar. Or you may be two people totally oblivious to the relationship that is developing when suddenly you are hit with the realization that you have fallen in love. People are complex and love develops in different ways.

2. Trials
Overcoming Hardship Makes A Relationship StrongerTimes have been tough, and things have gone wrong,
But the deep love we share has been there all along.
You say why go on, there's nothing that's right,
But we never give up; we continue to fight.
There's a light of love that gives us our sight.
Our hearts may get dark at times, but we know there is light.
We both have situations not fair,
But inside we get through them because of something special we share.
The trials make you aware of the way we feel,
A love that is not fake but so very real.
I know at times that it seems like a raw deal,
But we must get through these trails until we are healed.
Trials are not easy, and you feel there's no hope.
There are times when you feel you're at the end of your rope,
But you must go down deep in the pit of your heart.
Let it stop your despair and give a new start.
For true love for each other is a gift some never get,
So when that trial comes, don't ever forget
That there is a rare thing we share that had to come from above,
And those trials will end; what got you through was pure love.Latest Shared StoryThis poem totally touches my heart. My boyfriend dumped me when I was pregnant in 2010. I cried and cried many times, but he came back to me after 1 year. Now we are in love or 9 years. Our...

3. Love Takes A Little More
Love Takes More... But For Good ReasonYou supply the lips and I'll supply the kiss,
You supply the chance and I'll supply the bliss.
You supply the truth and I'll supply the trust,
You supply the time and I'll supply the lust.
But if it's love you want, it's gonna take a little more,
and when we finally get there, it'll be like waves hitting the shore,
of the oceans of our hearts, the feeling lingers on,
from the touch of evening twilight, 'til the early morning dawn.
You supply the fantasy and I'll supply the act,
You supply the opinion and I'll supply the fact.
You supply the quip and I'll supply the smile,
You supply the road and I'll supply that extra mile.
But if it's love you want, it's gonna take a little more,
and when we finally get there, it'll be like waves hitting the shore,
of the oceans of our hearts, the feeling lingers on,
from the touch of evening twilight, 'til the early morning dawn.
You supply the wings and I'll supply the flight,
You supply the day and I'll supply the night.
You supply the ground below and I'll supply the sky above,
You supply your tender heart and I'll supply my endless love.
Because even though love takes more, I shall not stand and wait,
for love to sweep me off my feet, for I might be too late.
So, I've now become a partner of fate,
in the never-ending waterfall known as love and hate. -
4. A Love Almost Lost
Poem About Almost Getting DivorcedShe pulled up the drive, and as she got out,
I said to myself, "There is no doubt,
The most beautiful thing I've seen in my life.
This woman before me will be my wife."
Campfire stories and fun four wheeling,
The loose grip on my shirt feeling.
"You better hold on with all of your might.
Our ride begins, starting tonight."
Wrapping her arms tight around my waist
After full throttle she got her first taste.
I promised to love her till the day that I die.
I put a ring on her finger with no wonder why.
Our love grew stronger and her heart I won,
So she blessed my world and gave me a son.
After many years had come and gone
Something had happened, something went wrong.
Why did we let things get so tough?
Why were our words so harsh and rough?
When she left that night, I died inside.
My anger built up and fueled my pride.
I thought it was over and wanted it so.
I thought it was time to let her go.
The lyrics of Tritt echoed as I hit the floor,
"I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore."
The tears flowing like a hurricane rain,
The heart I have, feeling so much pain.
I let "the one" walk out of my life,
The one I was once proud to call my wife.
Oh, what I would give to feel her touch,
Hold her in my arms and kiss her so much.
Make love to her like it was my last.
If only we could let go of the past.
Moving forward I will make it right.
I will not give up the hardest fight
To set out and accomplish our new found goals,
To defeat the demons within our souls.
We will overcome our flaws and our fears,
Even if it means shedding more tears.
My life without her I now have seen.
An empty throne beside me that belongs to my Queen.Latest Shared StoryThank you, Martin. A big reason for me sharing this poem was to let others know that even when you think there's nothing left, love that is true and pure can and will come through. It's not...

5. Advice To A Girl
No one worth possessing
Can be quite possessed;
Lay that on your heart,
My young angry dear;
This truth, this hard and precious stone,
Lay it on your hot cheek,
Let it hide your tear.
Hold it like a crystal
When you are alone
And gaze in the depths of the icy stone.
Long, look long and you will be blessed:
No one worth possessing
Can be quite possessed. -
6. More Than Enough
Just tell her she is perfect in the dark
her light shines
so the whole world can see her heart
hold her tight
so she knows if she ever did fall

7. My Love
A Second Chance At LoveFrom the moment our eyes met,
My soul could never forget.
You handed me your number on a scrap piece of paper
And walked away with my heart.
Who would have known
That would be the start?
The start of an on-going journey of you and me.
Time passed, lives changed.
We both went our ways,
But still we found each other
Despite life's maze,
Which leads me to believe maybe this is meant to be.
Our lives entwined,
Forever and always you and me. -
8. Communication
Communicating Is Key To A Successful RelationshipCommunication takes practice,
it's never perfect.
Sometimes not patient,
sometimes not kind,
but you have to say
what's on your mind.
Lend an ear,
listen, not just hear,
to the ones
you love so dear.
Communication is not
a one-way street.
It takes two
to concur this feat.
Communication is hard, you see,
but in the end, it is key
to that great relationship
we all want and need.
Open your heart,
say what's on your mind.
When you are partners for life,
there's nothing to hide. Latest Shared StoryMy partner and I separated a month ago because I won't get off my high horse and take the help handed to me. I wouldn't communicate with her or be able to have a conversation with her. So now...

9. Moon That Moves My Tides
Ending Of A LoveBetter today than I was before,
in this moment with the one whom I adore.
Take the fall, take the risk.
Maybe end up twisted, tangled, worn out, missed.
For the things that we go through behind closed doors,
make me crave you, wanting more.
But in the end it will be just you and I,
as the moon rolls in and brings the tides,
as the sun dances about the sky,
radiant of warmth, beauty, and light.
The cold moon chases the sun,
hoping to catch a glimpse of its beautiful light,
but is forever condemned to dark of night,
giving meaning to the passage of time.
Each giving their best til each day is done,
the moon will never stop craving the warmth of the sun.
Everlasting til death do us part,
For you are the one whom I have devoted my heart.
For I am the moon that moves your tides,
and you will always be the sun that dances across my skies.
Though you may not see me, I am always there,
I cannot deny that I still care. -
10. A Moment Of Truth
Love Forever PoemMy dear love, I wanted to share
My thoughts, my feelings and
What makes me despair.
I want to share with you
What makes me happy what makes me feel blue...
So you can sense that my love is honest and true.
Every day, not a single minute
Passes by without you in it.
Your skin, your voice, your body and your touch.
All of these moments, I miss them so much.
You are so present, so deep in my heart,
And our souls, I just know, will never part,
But circumstance and distance can be so overwhelming
They close doors and create doubt and we start blaming.
There are actions of mine, and I know that for sure,
That feel so wrong, though my intentions are pure.
They are painful and impossible to bear,
And you feel it's all so unfair.
You can't run from yourself;
There is no place to hide.
It just hurts you so deep.
It hurts your heart and your pride.
Then I worry that if I continue to stay.
Will it be wrong and will I be in your way?
I fear that I am not at all what you need
And that this truth will make my heart break and bleed.
Then I sit here and wipe away my tears,
Wishing you could kiss away my fears.
If only you knew how much
I miss and need your embrace and your touch.
I know I can't hide from my thoughts and my fear,
And I know at these times I don't seem near,
But you break down these walls
With the strength of your love,
And then I feel blessed
From God above!
My love for you runs so deep through my veins
That I dream of you, in spite of the pain.
Latest Shared StoryI remember you, my darling, though distance and circumstances have kept us apart. You should know that even in silence love flows. I will never stop dreaming about you, waiting for the day...

11. I Want Love
I don’t want attachment.
I want love.
I don’t want you to be
with me because it hurts
you to not be with me.
I want you to be with me
because being with me
makes you feel the most
alive you’ve ever felt. -
12. Love Throughout Time
Time is like the wind,
Slow and smooth.
Time can change swiftly,
Fast and fierce.
Time is like wine,
Sweet and refined.
Time can be hard to get past,
Bitter and rough.
Time is like a butterfly,
Gentle and beautiful.
Time can flutter by,
Graceful and memorable.
Time is like our love,
Sturdy and never changing.
Time can persevere,
Forever and always. -
13. The Two Of Us
What Happened To Our Marriage?I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to talk, now I can't speak anymore
I'm told I speak way too loud
Nothing I have to say ever comes out right
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to have fun
Now we can't stand to be around one another
All we ever seem to do is fight
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We used to laugh
Now all I want to do is cry
You no longer hold me in your arms at night
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We spoke of the future quite often
Now it just seems bleak and blind
We no longer have the sunshine that is so bright
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
We don't seem to see eye to eye
It feels like we move only mechanically
Doesn't look like there's any hope in sight
I wish I knew what has become of the two of us
Nothing seems the same at all
Have we gotten too old to love one another
Has our marriage lost its delight?
Latest Shared StoryThis poem hit me right in my heart because my boyfriend of 30 years (he doesn’t believe in marriage) and I can handle that. What I can’t handle is that the last 4 or 5 years he has become...

14. Secrets
Regretting Cheatingdo your secrets rip and roar?
do they tear at you with open claws?
do your secrets dig down deep?
do the make you want to speak?
and also sometimes make you weep?
why'd I do it in the first place when I knew it was along?
I wonder how secrets can be kept for so long?
I wish I could just turn back time,
so that everything will all be fine.
I have never felt this love I feel,
I know that this time it's finally real.
I have been the lucky one,
he'll never know the rotten things I've done,
but what will happen if my secrets finally escape?
will I break down, or die in a lake?
even though now there in the past,
I wonder how long my secrets will last? -
15. The Shatter Of My Tear
Poem About Being Afraid To Love AgainAfraid to love
Afraid to hold
All the stories untold
Why am I afraid
Of loving
Afraid of being broken

17. A Lost And Found For Love
Love Is Out ThereThere're many women I have met
And loved throughout my years.
Some provided joy I'd get,
But most provided tears.
There were those in fancy clothes
Who'd show me their affections.
Less fancy dressers then arose
And showed me new directions.
But all would leave, I'm not sure why,
For other loves or interests.
So, with the last tears that I'd dry,
I vowed to end these contests.
No longer would I give my heart
To have it sliced in two!
Too many dreams were torn apart
By women that I knew!
I became an island to myself,
With interests born anew.
My hopes of love placed on a shelf
Where mold and mildew grew.
However,
The best laid plans of mice and men
Do often go astray.
I saw this truth one evening when
She came in sight one day.
She looked at me with lonely eyes,
I'm sure mine looked the same.
It took some time to realize
Attraction was to blame.
The vow I'd made to hide my heart
Began to fade from view.
My new love seemed so far apart
From the other ones I knew.
Today, my love is with me still,
So many years we've shared.
My love and trust have been fulfilled
And formed a love that's not compared.
For those out there, please don't despair;
Don't squander your affections.
Don't hide your need for love to share;
Don't dwell on your rejections.
Love is there, I'm proof of that,
No matter what your setback.
There's someone there who's where you're at,
Who'll show the joy you'll get back.
At night, when we both lie in bed,
She shows what my love's meant.
I stroke the hair upon her head;
She whispers sweet contentment.
What makes a moth fly to a light?
Is it need for what they see?
Or does it seem, their useless flight,
Is just curiosity?
I guess it's both that brought us close,
Our lives of different walks.
But now, to please my love the most,
I'll clean her litter box.Latest Shared StoryBravo! I think there are many who find the humor and honesty in these lines!

18. Never Look Back
An Older Couple Reflecting On Their RelationshipMy darling, remember those days long ago,
When we both held hands through rain and snow?
We cheerfully chatted and were full of fresh life.
How positive we were in our strife.
We never looked back; we kept going on.
Even when it poured, the sun still shone,
Because we both had a precious thing,
Love for one another; it made our hearts sing!
Young lovers, we rode each new wave,
Faced up to our challenges, both tireless and brave.
But alas, the years have caught up on us.
Weak and old, we no longer make a fuss.
We sit by the fire and grumpily stare,
No longer hold hands, too tired to care.
Mumbling and grumbling at things on the Box,
Old and withered, battered by life's knocks.
Yet I stare at you sitting nearby.
Yes, we still have it, a twinkling in the eye! -
19. The One
Finding The One Who Accepts YouI hope you find
the one who quiets
the screams.

the one that
understands your
silence.
I hope you find
the one that is
patient while
you're healing.
I hope you find
the one who accepts
all of you.Latest Shared StoryAnother job very well done. Very insightful and very easy to read. I like this style.

20. The Balance
I give and take,
I give and take,
I give and take.
But I take when
I should be giving,
and I give when
I should be taking.
And that is why
I have loved and lost.
