The Heart Wants
A Sonnet for Laura Mckenzie's contest, romantic longing
Longing to be with the one who is fun and charming
Longing to be able to live life uninhibited to be loving
Searching for the kindred spirit, living
Searching to be accepted, by the caring
Why do you look away, knowing
Why do you, dodge down that path, avoiding
I know why, hurting
I know why, crying
The eyes that look, Lying
The heart that shares darkness, unknowing
The time has been recalled, leeching
Goodness, Joy, meekness, giving
Longing to be with the one who is giving, caring and loving
Longing to care, who is hurting
