Best Love Longing Poems
I Acquiesce To FriendshipYour sensuous eyes render me a fool.
How clumsy I become within your mien.
I stutter, stumble trying to keep cool
While all the time envisioning a scene
Of you and I together palm in palm
As sun departs behind the hillside's face,
And in the blush of twilight I feel...

Through Deep Darkness Unable To SteerIt was deep dark, silence roaming outside
if I couldn't see and hear, it is myself to chide
the urge within pushed my fright aside
time to open the gates of my soul wide.
My journeys I used to have on my own
seeking sheer thrill in my serene...

Wild Mountain HoneyOld Mountain tales of love spin
'neath dawn's blush,
Elderberries, purple ink drop pearls
drawing me nigh.
Ah! Her laughter just like a honeybee’s dance
in the summer’s rush.
For you ignite my...

The Nectars of LoveThe Nectars of Love
Let your love fall, that I may wallow
Let your tears drip of inner essence
Entranced by the nectar I swallow
As I engulf and taste your presence
***
Let your beating heart keep company
The emptiness that entraps my being
I’m a string vibrating in your symphony
Forever...

Love's TribulationTreasures of love's white passion flowers
Sweet with desire, so dearly sought;
The breathless unrest of seeing you
For just a happy hour or two
Is bought with such a store of tears
Such anguish, sorrow and such fears;
With sadness and forlorn regret
Such waves of longing to be near you...

Sacred WatersThe psalmist and the deer which pants from thirst along the brook....
As a treasure sanguines heart, hidden within this field called life?!
Arriving upon another day in hopes of finding its perfect place inside
Sacred; sitting aside the world outside with this longing spirit of mine
Always closing...

A Forgotten LoveA Forgotten Love
A Poem by JC Hawkens
That which I long for
I left somewhere in the past
My lovely fall dream
When my winter came
Long lost in spring was she gone
My sweet sad sorrow
Thinking of fall days
Lost in thoughts of tomorrow
May of what will come
Hope of future...

A Self SilenceOh! Have you heard a stone's grief?
An inward pity shrieked in vain.
It resonate beyond belief,
like a rose's scream under winter’s strain
or crumbling of spirit by parting’s pain.
Echoes of longing for inner peace
the hum of want and wonder why.
A ringing in ear that will never...

Quintain (English)
So Close Yet Out of ReachAcross the room her face shines bright
while talking with her friends;
her presence fills me with delight
with beauty that transcends.
She caught my eye right from the start,
but feelings that I can’t impart.
She caught my...

Fragrant LoveIf the Mediterranean waves could carry me to your arms
I'd wake up to your whispers enchanted by your charms
If the wafting wind could breeze me to your bed
our longing lips would kiss in hungry emotions wed
If this love I feel could linger in your...

My FantasyLot of rivers flow through cracked channels of my humble mind
As I swim through my broken heart
I felt so disturbed and sad
Then I asked is love an illusion?
Roses glow right n front of me
As I stretch my hand to touch of her spotless flowers
The beauty...

Ode
A Dance In the DarkHe was her dance in the dark
that never got past the stroke of midnight,
both shared moon's light
yet, never did he leave
the empty corridors
in her mind
grief of days swept into years
which she could never seem to shake
heart's lonely ache
as they twirled round and round
when she closed...

The Love That Got Away - For a WhileAt fifteen I was filled with passionate dreams
God breathed possibilities through my ambitions
I learned to feel with my heart, visions of a caress
Whispering through me when I first met him, my fantasy
At twenty-three I was older and wiser, longing for a touch
Imagining he was with...

When Moon is FullThey met beside the water’s edge
Drawn by the sound of lapping waves
Beneath the gaze of the full moon
Attraction blossomed into love.
But jealous fate split them apart
When out at sea a raging storm
Capsized his boat; no one survived.
But love like theirs could never die…
Twelve times a...
