Best Ache Poems

These trembling lips cannot bear to remain mute
when their quivering begins in my deepest root
Surf upon the wave's crest of a stimulating ride,
Enter my secluded orchard upon a flowing tide

Saunter into my arbor and taste my honeyed fruit
Allow each nibble to entice with unbridled pursuit
Warm...

Peace is painted in pastel, parting the pain,
( the yielded yearning )       of times true



             - Pleasant pink is a perfect place,
to embrace how I feel....

There is something about the cuddle of mist
that washes the pain of love's farewell 
like a damp of healing elixir, 
so softly touching my navel
   to ignite back the glaze             ...

She did not have to guess.
She felt it in her bones. 
Unfaithful he always was,
Unfaithful he'll always be.
She knew where he would be.
 
Anger flared in the pit of her stomach,
A heart-wrenching in the ache of fire.
What could she do?  Revenge?
She rejected such thoughts...

Eleven months I watched you slowly fade away
Not once did I hear you complain or cry, you said
Soon you would embark on the greatest adventure
Of your life, while you laid suffering in silence,
Something inside me began to slowly die, too.
I tried hard, but could not...

visions of you
romantic visions of just us two
can these visions be possibly true

dreams of you
wonderful dreams of just us two
are these dreams really really true

my heart is now black and blue
my heart was once for you
my heart is now broken

in two...

I never got to tell you
How    I loved you
Poetry being one of those things
That sent you in a rage
And so was all my passion
    Overlooked
Like those scribbles on a page
Looking back I understand
How our bed was made
There was so...

I ache for the dream that a child has
Hope for the gifts from the Santa Clause
Wake to the words with awesome pizzazz
And twist my lines in a string of jazz.

I ache for my share of tender love
Like the gentle lift of a flying dove
Hold my...

Little Johnny came home from school with a bellyache    
Naturally Mom feared the most recent local outbreak
Johnnie thankfully had no fever, she suspected it might be a fake
But strange and most bizarre Johnnie had no appetite for steak
Or even for his ultimate...

A frightened boy, I felt an ache inside
for not liking girls as other boys did.
And I still remember the nights I cried;
for feeling feelings that the Lord forbid.

Consumed by a relentless ache, I hid
my feelings, for they left me petrified.
And I wasn't brave like a...

I ache everywhere
    if you’re not here
        whether you are far away
            or a mile away,
    when I can’t see you

Jim starts the day with good intention
Jobs need doing that require his attention.
The garden needs a good sprucing up
His vegetation 'triffids' are running amok.

He mows the lawn, trims the hedges,
Creates those nice, neat lined edges.
Weeds the borders, deadheads the flowers,
Feeds the plants their nutritional powers.

The...

The rosa blanda embroidering your face
will become the veins in my tongue reaching to clog my throat
go past the tonsils and vocal chords and windpipe
down and down still, burrowing into the esophagus 
relentless in its pursuit, just, just, just to lay seeds in my chest
tumor...

Poet Identity

In conversations,
In biographies,
In resumes…all poets are writers,
    but not all writers are poets.
On a careful look into the mirror, when not looking
    for wrinkles, but staring deep into the reflected  
   Image as if it...

I may not touch only yearn;
senses dream, ache and burn.

Feeling a bliss that may not exist,
I know longings I must resist.

A need so deep touches heart and head,
fueled by a desire that will never be bed.

A love has grown that may not be shown,
I know...
