Sad Love Poems
Love is a Universal emotion, the goal we all seek, the prize that can make our lives complete and whole. Love is both timeless and, in too many instances, transient. These poems are about those times.
We all believe, if only because we must, that love can be found. Some of us - maybe most of us - have discovered it can also be lost.
