Best Longings Poems

I long to—
Walk one more time
To where the land ends, and the ocean begins
To listen expectantly for the sounds of infant waves
Grasping layers of golden sand
I long to—
Hear the fat gulls with white bellies
And ebony eyes
Floating on invisible wires
Calling for the savory morsels
Hidden inside the...

Within my moon lit courtyard.
When night, is late and dark.
The raven comes to sit with me.
And tempts me to embark.

Upon a journey that entails.
The mind and hand and heart.
To walk a road, once tread before.
That can leave a dreadful mark.

But deep inside I hear the...

Fairy tales and love stories 
Each has a beginning 
Each has an ending,
but our love~ an endless story
I don't know where to start.

Paintings in varied forms~
from abstracts to impressionisms,
I've seen them all in galleries,
museums and ancient walls;
So I tried to sketch your paradigm
and sculpted it...

Cast me not away
Ye gentle soul, my love
Lead me to the beach
Where our love began and bloomed
Cradle my fragile wrists
In your strong and loving grip
Call me yours again
Bid me to you and I shall yield
Few hours to the vow
To be yours and only yours

I long...

Longings....

Should I have let you catch me
You, with your wayward words
Crazy schemes and narrow roads

Should I have let you hold me
You, with your wide arms
And not so serious nature
Easy smile and wistful words

Should I have let you touch me
You, who made me smile
Forget today and...

My Christmas will be all it’s meant to be
If but one wish is granted now to me
T’will be the season that is fair and bright
If what my heart is craving comes in sight

It’s not a package wrapped in red and gold
I’m not a girl for...

Morning brief
Not much to say;
Touching aftermath

~~~~~~~~~


Passing clouds
Candy floss chit-chat;
Without a word

~~~~~~~~~


Lovers in the park
Saturday evening trysts;
Cheery revival

~~~~~~~~~


Free-and-Easy
Way to go;
Redundant tour guide

~~~~~~~~~


Aloha Hawaii
Polynesian fare;
Smiles surfing free

~~~~~~~~~


Fly away now
Missionary quest;
Overseas homework

~~~~~~~~~


Complains surge
No much change;
Wishful thinking

~~~~~~~~~


Here and there
Notice the debris;
Broken spirits loiter

~~~~~~~~~


Lost souls loiter
Shackled by fate;
Seemingly hopeless

~~~~~~~~~


And when...

old longings
drifting in 
 a  far   a - way place. . . . 

they return-
unfulfilled-
on nostalgia’s wind

At the transcend of time, each heart unite
Swore intense love, so deep...hoping it will last, 
Weaved scenes of romantic dreams each will abide
Holding on together for fate or destiny to trust.

What is a soulmate? I have asked
Dig its meaning, found mine rather as I basked,...

At the window she waits in loneliness
Moonlight glowing on the river below
she watches for the return of her love

Soft breezes blowing through the willows
accompanying the notes of a Pipa lute
playing an ancient somber melody

It carries to her upon the wind
She reaches her arms up to...

TIMELESS LONGINGS ! ( Love Poem)

Come to me during the night my love, -
Through the terrace garden’s rear door; 
To smother my flaming passion, -
With your kisses and...

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...

walk me through old memories
days when true love came to be
take me down an old backroad
on a two lane highway fantasy

and paint the picture of sunset
parked in a field where we met
as fireflies wait on night to fall
until we're close as we can get

we'll dance...

I know the aching heart 
Knows that longings
Can never be fully apart
And satisfied anymore
Through bodily meetings.

I know I can never share 
Stories of childhood tears 
And fears bravely conquered there
Through silence and struggles
To step into hazy future thoroughfares. 

Land and ocean be your friends
For nights...
