Best Pining Poems

The knots have knots…God?
Threads of needing, want, desire;
passion spent on barren sod
left to burn on flaming pyre.

God, the knots have knots?
Nodes and nodules, full of spoor,
planted upon poisoned plots
hoarding, warmth, desire and more…

God, the knots have knots! 
Pulse, and pump; push, and explore
lose the beastly...

They fall, and get hurt, and again race right after,
 Life's full of home-made cookies and laughter,
 They absolutely adore every season
 They promise by pinkie and lie for no reason,
 They learn by osmosis, that is asking Why,
 They dare to count every star...

Pining for the moon: 

For that far away light hanging just beyond your reach.

What do you do when trapped by life, ebbing, slipping out of sight;

Watching the world morph into unrecognizable shapes and face.

Do you wait and hold your breath, be swept up in the...

Ever missed that warming love,
That from honest heart comes?
It’s more assuring than all hopes,
Far sweeter than honey’s combs. 

It’s such solacing truth amidst lies,
Heart-strengthening feel like none;
That renews sick worn-out sinew, 
And resuscitates the injured man.

By rarest graces such love’s found,
Not by one’s painstaking searches,
It's...

far from the ground
a sun faced sea shines on me
no trouble i see but a sail with no wind
to catch no worry in the air
should i swim so long and tire arms
and reach the golden glaze ahead 
on islands set down to catch a glimpse...

The Pining Pine Tree

The pining pine tree brings Christmas joy,
and then is discarded....

I went walking and I wondered.
If her heart like mine had thundered.
As I got near she couldn't speak.
And as I stood my knees got weak.

Every day I hope and pray.
That she will come and want to stay.
And let me know she wants me too.
And take...

Then in the midst of wild excitement I did play 
Among the trees and sapple grass 
Bright with the spirit of a summer's day,
Wearing my youthful bliss outward 
With dazzling smile and prancing step
And others to share the light awhile 
Of a wondrous time in...

Why does the heart ache?
Why does it seem to break?
Why don't I see a reason,
In all these varied season?
Pining for love,
Is it the reason?...

pining for a moment

away

a moment away from the tedious clutter
of one’s ragged self
one’s wretched being
one’s displaced identity

yearning for a moment

away

a moment away from the idle banter
of one’s swirling mind
one’s lashed thoughts
one’s squashed form

reaching for that moment

away

a moment away from the tattered now
of one’s chattering shell
one’s...

Something, rather than someone, missing,
As I now dream of us kissing....

I gave you the words
     You made them superb
     We're the top most team

     I wrote winning songs 
     Your voice made them strong

I Want You Back

I want you back because it saves me looking
It’s not your sexual enchantment, or fabulous cooking
Solitary and forlorn without your condemnation
I offer you this olive branch for your consideration

It will also save me time, I’m used to its misery
Suffering is as addictive...
