Anguish

Oh my heart
keep beating though
there is a hole 
in my chest so large 
it defies description 

To have passion
for such a beauty
with a compassionate 
heart and soul.
But yet I’m rejected 

The scent of spices 
brings me back 
to intimate embraces, 
private smiles and giggles,
sensual passion beyond compare

Anguish,
Yearning,
Pain,
Despair,
My heart aches but still beats

My favorite part of your poem is; Anguish, Yearning, Pain, Despair, My heart aches but still beats; That says it all for me! ??

Glad you enjoyed it... I wrote it after I thought that I had lost the love of my life. As tough as some things get we as humans persist through the pain. Keep up the good writing, I enjoyed the pieces that have posted. Nicely done.
