The pain of loving
when it dies can
hit like lightening
from the
skies.
One moment you’re in
ecstasy and ache
that sweetest
ache.
Head reeling from
the kiss.
You’ve never felt
such happiness.
It could be
labled….
Bliss.
Next moment
Bhammmm.
You’re in agony again
and moments such as
this should never be
described.
It hurts so much that
you wonder how you’ll
ever stay alive…
let alone
breathe.
It may still beat…
But your heart aches a
physical ache.
A pain that won’t go
away, and tears such as
those you cry could
fill an ocean from
your eyes.
And yet…
Life is love
Ohhh how you ache to
be in love….
and feel its
ecstasy again.

Poetry Jam What’s love got to do with it
Great way to capture the pain of a broken heart and why the search for love can be so addictive. Really enjoyed this.
So true that love is a bliss but painful when it ends. I do believe that true love doesn’t hurt and last forever. Heartfelt emotions in your poem, lovely 🙂
Oh I meant true love lasts forever (sorry about the typo). Have a lovely weekend, Bren! 🙂
Love is a major part of life… sometimes it can bring us down, sometimes it can lift us up. In the end it’s worth it!
So true, this was emotionally potent, sometimes love is like an exit wound.
Your poem is an amazing description of ‘love lost.’
how truly you captured the feelings….lovely…
Why does something that feels so good hurt so bad?
I’ll take that prison over being hurt again and I’ll double the sentence thank you! This calls for a hug, it reads “sadness, yearning” xxxxxxxxxx! Muuuuuah!
I must say it feels like yesturday when I rode that rollercoaster, still reeling.
N ice. I remember the pain of my first heartbreak. It does hurt physically. But all of life is full of death, but love does resurrect.
Brenda, this is a heartbreaking poem–so well written, the emotion totally grabbed me (and my heart). Love the quote too, very true, obviously you keep your heart open to write such beautiful poems.
Yes, the pain in the heart is physical.
Love the intro, the burden that love leaves behind. I like the acknowledgement of the heart still beating. Such a passionate and bitter piece. ♥
Feel every bit of it…the ecstasy and the ache…
This is heartbreaking and really exemplifies the extreme contrast of the different facets of the same emotion…love. Beautiful, Bren.
There’s a feeling of rightness in this..
Don’t do it! You’ll be sorry! Really sensitive people never recover but the good news is, you will have enough material to write agony poems for the rest of your life:)
Can’t do better than ‘the agony and ecstasy’ of love ~ wonderful poem
worth the pain! beautifully written, Bren!
♥
oh, very effectively painted here. The ending such a good shift here, but the heartbreak and loss was emotionally driven and wonderful for the way you brought it really alive through verse. Great write/read.
I read this with keen interest. Never having had my heart broken, I’ve no clue how it feels, what it’s like. You gave me a taste, and I am grateful.
The agony and the ecstasy of love. Thank goodness I don’t have to worry about that anymore, Bren. Being with my husband is like wearing a very comfortable shoe, it is worn well and we are relaxed with each other. Nice write.

this reminded me of my teenage years…i had a weird time…really…countless boy friends and when a love died i sometimes woke in the morning and thought there’s nothing left worth living for..
Its tough to bear it alone after such joy and bliss ~ Lovely share Bren ~
This is so true, and so beautifully said. Very nice!
it’s so true, nothing in life can make you as happy or as miserable as love. great write!
Great summary of love and its ebbs and floes. I liked the feel and rhythm of the piece. Very enjoyable.
Beautiful… It will come. I love the picture, too.
Whew…you really rolled it all into one, really summed up that deep ache and rich ecstasy. Felt it.
love this! so many ups and downs, but what a great ride love is!
The stanzas drip down the page like tears, the visible agony of the heart also doubled in the ecstasy of having known such love. The final ache to feel such love again seems a paradox to me–having tried–but the measure is there. Nothing measures up.
Very true … I can relate to this !!!
If I didn’t ache before I do now. I could feel the hurt in you words and relived some of my own heart break.. great work
love is brutal…it busts into your life and wrecks the place then punches you in the gut when it leaves….ha…i do though love the moments in between…smiles….nice write bren
Love…not always easy but definitely worth the pain.
I love the way this flows! Great write.
I love how you capture the rollercoaster of feelings, esp physical. It’s always the mix of the heart and body that caves me in. Wonderfully written. Thanks.
You have definitely captured the best of love and the worst of love (when it ends) to a T. And as far as it happening again, as someone near and dear to me used to say — never say never.
Yes, it’s a roller coaster ride, isn’t it?
That’s it in a nutshell – the agony and the ecstasy. Beautiful, Bren. I love the quote about the worst prison being a closed heart. Cool.
The ups and downs are sure a ton, but if one doesn’t give it a run, stuck in a rut alone they will be.
