Best Losslonging Poems


Skooter Where Art Thou

Skooter oh skooter where have you gone

been three days since you left me at dawn.

before I can accept your departure,

remember how we filled you with nurture.

A house cat you were,

and now and adventurer 

may your journey be safe until your return

with longing and emptiness our hearts will yearn 

for a quick return home...

Posters are flying with photo's of you..

knowing our luck, you've been returned to the zoo!

For She Knows Not What She Does

If you wondered what smelled like a dead body
It was me 
Because I haven’t showered in weeks
And I am weak in the knees
And I am slowly feeling absolute atrophy 
As opposed to absolute apathy 

Please don’t be mean I haven’t got it in me
To reciprocate your demands I am waving 
My hands 
My white flag erect and begging
For you to spare my dignity 
I haven’t got it in me
To fight back 
Or react to your attack
Laugh if you want or taunt
I’m not going to flaunt my defeat
I’m off my feet 
Laying clearly for you to kick me

I give up trying to beat your negativity 
You’ll one day say to me
You were right honey 
Maybe I should have been more happy
But why does an evil heart 
Attach itself to a sad one
The parasite leeches on for
Another fun run 
While its host just slowly
Starts to disintegrate
The parasite gets its kicks
From poisoned bone marrow and
 A Weakened immune system 
Or worn out friendships and
A longing for the past


Just remember, I’ll never fight back.
And Thy God shall forgive
Them because they know
Not what they do.
I truly and honestly believe
That this wholly applies
To you.

The Cherry Tree

The cherry tree
knows me well,
my thoughts, my dreams,
my kiss and tell.

Experiments of love and youth,
he shielded me,
he was my roof.

We carved our names
for all to see,
we grew beneath
that cherry tree.

The second world war
called you away,
beneath the cherry tree
I cried, I prayed.

I waited there through
day, through year,
so longing again
your voice to hear.

You died in battle
just twenty three,
yet I still wait in dreams, 
beneath our cherry tree.


Always and Until

They lie forming in his freezer,
stashed away and in repose,
they always see the daylight,
like an arbiter who knows

his preference for Ripple rocks,
the liquor's almost gone,
alcohol's his habit
and he always drinks alone.

Spending all his welfare dough
on substitutes for nourishment,
the cheapest brands, with shaking hands,
he squanders his entitlement.

Simple, yet so complicated,
pain and sorrow flow as fast
as liquid off a penguin's back,
until the die be cast.

Funny how some frozen water
helps the medicine go down,
his addiction, takes the lonesome
out of longing as he drowns.

Found Wandering

I wandered away from the great benevolence,
Willfully trudging into the shadows of doubt.
I peered into the core of the prosaic sun,
Questioning its power, its perfect light.
I cursed the moon for it’s lucid glow,
Blaming it for my cause and confusion.
I swallowed the pill of self-reliance,
Deeming all great houses to have shoddy walls.
I have allowed the fervor of my heart to succumb to apathy,
Forsaking Venus on an isle of mistrust, for my pleasure alone.
I am forlorn, by my own bitter hand, despite my once beautiful self,
Regretting not what I have become, nor longing for what I once was.

Salvation lies only in a brush with death,
Or in the proof that Venus can be trusted.

Anything less will only further certify that this world is based on desire alone.

In which case:
	There is no hope, only Want.
	There is no love, only Lust.
	There is no soul, only Flesh.
	There is no god, only Theory.

Take all you can; you’ll be dead soon.

Childhood

I hope to this day 
I pray to the dragonfly, 
lost in memory. 
I hope this day , 
my longing is gone. 
I pray to the sunshine, 
let it come down . 
I pray to the flowers, 
in full youth, 
what is the thunder , 
without the rain . 
I let it wash myself away.


My Brother

I can't stop thinking of you
I can't get over the fact that youre gone
I always wanted to say "I love you",
But I bet you already knew
I close my eyes and picture us together,
You will always be on my mind forever
I never thought you would leave
I pray you come back, maybe you receive
My heart is no more whole,
Some say it can show
Everyday it gets more clear,
I need you here
I miss you oh so much
Im longing to feel your gentle touch
I lay here and can't think of another,
That I love as much as my brother

~ RIP Wojtek ~

Invisible

The girl, she longs for somebody to love her.
She never had a mother.  Left when she was two.

She was on her own, trying to survive.  No one sees her misery.  Longing to be held.
Shes been crying for a thousand years, and a lost heart full of fears.

No one sees her suffering.  Shes invisible.

Gone 4 a While

Missing her, longing for her, 
I cant wait to get back, she will be there.
Missing her, longing to hold her.
We will dance, we will sing, we will talk.
Missing her, longing to talk to her.
Until the time comes for her to leave me.
Missing her, longing to kiss her.
Driving me crazy.
Missing her, longing to wipe the pain away from her.
Sitting next to me, or holding me closely.
Missing her, longing to be with her.
I am never again to be her sister but her lover.
Missing her, longing to see her.
