Best Wistful Poems

Age gracefully…that’s what I’ll do
Going to ignore the lines, how about you?
Inner beauty is what really counts
I happen to love my drooping mounts

Absolutely no Botox or fillers for me
Another varicose vein, Yipee
I’ll learn to love myself, no matter what
I will forever have my untucked gut

Graceful...

"The pain is deep when the heart is spent"...Poet

Your face floats through my mind
in vaporous wistful dreams of illusion
   that drape over my soul
in an invisible cloak of yearning

the footprints you left on the soft ground
as you vanished in the shadows

Passionate nostalgia of our last embrace,
            
          the way we fervently shaped to each other -

He whispered softly

against every inch of her skin

She could sense his yang

Still in need of her yin

His sweet wistful breath

lingered once again

beyond borders within

His presence held authority

of what once belonged to him

She knew the time to leave

before She would give in

This would be the first...

A wistful breeze blows through the trees 
 as summer nears its end
 September beckons to the fall
 Its old and brooding friend

  The blue of sky, the butterfly,
 birds that sing on high,
 will flutter with my doleful sighs 
 as summer bids...

Wishes are never horses, making beggars be less cheerful
Increased interest to the unreachable despite being careful
Subjects, condemns and stimulates one to be less grateful
The moment shortens the stretched hands and makes nothing wonderful
Feelings fiercely negative, make the coveted powerful
Unidirectional is the attempt which feels unlawful
Loving...

Drifting through the quietly gleaming forest,
Snowflakes falling, silently glinting, melting,       
Gracing wings of chickadees chirping gladly... 
Wistfully dreaming...

I dreamt of a home of my own as a child
where the air is always pure and mild, 
Where birds and animals did freely roam
and frolic in the soap bubbles and foam.

A house on a tree by the rolling stream,
Atop a vanilla cake or cherry...

“some winters will never melt
some summers
will never freeze
and some things will only
... live in poems.”  -  Sanober Khan, Turquoise Silence 


Wishful yearnings, regrets for things wanted, or
In the past are things you look back on which made you glad.
Sometimes you recall those times and...

WISTFUL WISTERIA

wistful wisteria,
lavender-hued and laden
with grapelike produce.
wistful like a willow.
I’m hanging about the fence
where buzzing bees
remind me
of life and death.
amidst the ivy,
the hum of hives,
the lavender fruit
of the eyes.
wishful for paradise.

 The day dawns with a colorful palette
 It may hold sorrow, or joy
 It may hold tears the heart can't forget
 And a flood of emotions you can't hold back

 We are never prepared for those sad days
 But love and support from others...

forlorn
     woebegone

pensive
    musing

this
    yearning
this 
     longing

melancholy
becomes
a
   rueful
     pining
almost
   nostalgic

I have withdrawn from grim and gloomy feelings.
I have no time for wistful faces that plague the day
with melancholy conversation and life-sucking sadness.
The drama too much to digest and too trivial to express. 
The shroud of depression envelopes the soul
spiraling it toward the depths of...
