Down But Not Defeated
by Desirra Davila

Pain, as real as it gets
Fear, as much as one can bear
Love, love ... it seems there is none
Nights so cold, no one to hold.
Days too long
Can't go on for long
See you close,
Yet see you far
Like I see the bright and shiny stars
Feel a river between us,
A river of my tears,
Oceans
As deep as my thoughts
My thoughts of you.
They say to just give up
But to give up
Is to give in
Like a raging lion
That has been tamed,
Beaten down,
Defeated.

Happy Valentine's Day
by Skye Flores

How can I love you
Yet still hate you
Loving you more
Makes me hate you more
Which way do I go
Do I go on loving you
Or go on hating you?
Hating you seems so hard
But loving you while you're not loving me
Is so very hard you see
My love for you could fill the world
If only you would let it
But I'm afraid your love for me
Can't even fill a saucer
Full of secrets
I cannot decode.
You are jewels
That could make a treasure
If you'd only open your chest....

I Miss The Little Things
by Paulina Ramirez

I miss your kiss
I miss your touch
I miss the little things
That always meant so much
The way you made me smile
The happiness I felt
The little things you said
That made me want to melt
The way you'd apologize
When ever you knew you were wrong
You couldn't stand when I was mad
But I couldn't stay mad long
I miss the way you laughed
At everything I'd say
Then, told me I was beautiful
And that just made my day
I miss the way you couldn't let me go
When I needed to hang up the phone
You told me you loved me
A thousand times a day
And you'd never leave
Until your point was made
I loved the way
You looked at me
Right before we kissed
It was a look of warmth and love
I never dreamed could exist
You made me feel like a queen
Always giving me what I need
But now I have nothing left
Except those memories that haven't ever left
I miss your kiss
I miss your touch
I miss the little things
That always meant so much.

Love In The Air
by Eric Morales

You change like the weather
You continue to surprise me
After I thought I'd seen it all.
Every day your star keeps rising
Like the fame of a celebrity.
You grow stronger
Like a seed on days of sun
And I cannot keep up.
You grow expensive
As electricity in Oz
And I can no longer afford
To keep you.
So farewell until someday
We might meet again,
My technology....

The Light of Love Will Never Fade
by Nicolette Gascon

The light of love
Will never fade
For it lives within our soul.
It shuts down all our strife and rage
And fills us with calming sage.
It brings warmth to all our hearts
Especially a mother's, just to start.
Like the sun it shines right through
All the hatred that causes a storm.
Like brooding clouds
It haunts your mind,
Waiting to get you trapped.
But, fear not,
You shall be spared
From this terrible mess.
Instead you'll receive
The gift of love.
It stays with you always,
Like a floating dove.
Though life fades,
The heart endures.
It lives on through others,
And survives the harshest soul.
Love is the peacemaker
Of all that we see.
It brings about
Faith and hope.
Without it,
We won't be able to cope
With tragedies that happen
Throughout your life.
It helps you fasten
Your heart to the one you love.
Love conquers all,
Without a doubt.

The Battlefield
by Lidia Temores
Love is like a battlefield
A wide open range
Where our feelings flow
With anger
Bullets
And cannon balls flying everywhere.
Wishing to go back
To the comfort of the past.
First everything was so pretty;
When I held you close and called you mine,
When you said I was as beautiful
As an angel that God sent as a gift to you.
You showed me how to forget
All the bad things
And there is a world with hope inside,
But now we're so far apart
I'm the south pole
and you
in the north.
What happened that we are here
So far apart
With hate?
We've become shrews
that cannot be tamed;
You a violent thunderstorm
And I the wind
Whirling around
Without direction.
Standing alone with my thoughts
I'm left to ask thee
Why must it be?

Hatred Love Poem
by Juan Lopez
Love is really a mixture
Of so many emotions
Much like a world
Filled with many oceans.
Love is in the air for Valentine's Day
But people don't know
That it all ends in despair.
Love at first sight
Is wonderful and beautiful
But once love is gone
It turns into hate.
In a romantic relationship
Everything goes well
But sooner or later
Something goes fishy; starts to smell.
Jealousy takes over one another
And hatred starts to build,
The couple can't stand each other
And then separate for their own good will.
So this is the meaning of love
Love might have meanings
But the truth lies in the poem up above.

Love or Hate
by Daniela Garcia
I love you at the same time that I hate you.
I love you like music to my ears;
I hate you like a bloody war.
When I close my eyes I think of you;
When I open them I know you're not there for me.
You're like an ocean
The ocean in which I drown
Every time I try to swim.
I love you as if it was only you and me
Even in the largest crowd
But I hate you because you're always getting lost.
You're like a candy
I love you when you're sweet
But I hate you when you get so sour.
You're like a beautiful red glass rose
I love you when you are there to shine your light
Put my frown upside down
But I hate when you fall and shatter
I try to pick you up
But you keep on cutting me.
You are like a book
Full of stories;
Stories I would love to read
But when I open the book
The pages go white.
I'm between fire and ice
When I want to go back
The fire burns me
And if I want to go up front
The ice freezes me.
I just don't know
If I should love or hate you.

My Hate Poem
by Danielle Davis

I hate you for the things you do
I hate you because you're you
You're everything I find wrong
Your stupid little love notes
And sick rap songs.
The sound of your voice
Makes me ill
I look into your eyes
Makes me want to kill.
My heart that you once held
Has now turned to stone.
My days are so dark and black,
I wish I could just take everything back.
