Desiring What I Cannot Have

She’s so ideal

She smiles at everyone she sees.
At the sight of someone so ethereal,
The people feel at ease.

Her perfect hair falling down,
The way ocean waves couldn’t compare.
When one looks into her blue eyes they drown,
One couldn’t help but stare.

When you hear her voice,
The angels stop and listen.
You have no choice,
To impress her would be your mission.

Her name,
Just the mention of her.
It will spark a flame,
Everything else would be a blur.

I want to be that girl,
The girl who the angels listen to.

The girl who’s hair,
Makes the ocean waves get jealous.

The girl that people just connect to.
The girl who could drown you
with the beauty of her eyes

The girl who by even the slightest mention,
It would send someone into a heart attack.

I want to be her.

Premium MemberDesiring You, Valentine

 




       Sensuous, handsome you!

       
       Eternal kisses, those abundant lips.

      
       Hypnotic eyes, spell-binding me
 
       
       You are desire, in human disguise!
       

       I am your volitional, melting candle.
   
    
        Lost… in your embracing thighs!

Desiring - Bite Size

The mist rolls in
I want to sin
Oh crescent moon
You left too soon 
My heart is sore  
Yet yearns for more

Premium MemberDesiring a Rainy Day

The rain pours through the roof and drips
Droplets land upon saddened cheeks
If only pain within wouldn't grip

Rain coat from her closet she seeks
Brand new colorful umbrella open
Standing on her porch give gray a peek

Slowly meander forward broken
Into the gray, except for umbrella's shades
Red, blue, green, gold reasons chosen

Shades on shades from umbrella cascades
Flows with the raindrops lands at her feet
Sadness flows out, raindrops downgrades

Colorful umbrella coats the street
All the color drips in puddles deep
Laughter escapes life is sweet

For My Desiring Flame of Chest

For my desiring flame of chest
Forget their blame and light of past.
You can’t return the golden Age
Just turn the page, yes, turn the page.

They say we cannot stop the PAIN
That we should fall in feet of Vain
And die like mice in throat of cat
But we're still here, we are not dead.

Those Benedictions are not yours
I saw the Death on jaded horse.
And kiss of Heaven’s for free souls:
For you and me, but not for dolls.

Premium MemberDesiring Love Dreams

their is 
a fire
burning inside 
this belly
one hot star
come take 
my hand
i walk 
on this path
show me 
the way

take me 
to that place
words have 
no meaning
touching you 
my love
to lie 
with you
oh sweetheart
two of us 
as one

in this space
we found 
each other
to see 
the look 
of love
written all 
over my face

smiling happiness 
be my guide honey
i will tell you princess
all my stories bold
i found you 
kneeling before you
finding paradise
a secret sanctuary
in one balanced place

i will be your knight
standing on 
the edge
holding sweetly
embracing you 
i fall into
your heart angel
sword of light 
my lover 
struck beautiful
in love

Desiring You

Laying in bed thinking of you 
with memories of waking up 
close like morning dew.   
Feelings of ease fill my soul 
with each thought of mi amor.  
Holding onto this prefect 
moment as light will soon be 
my opponent.  Creeping 
through the window the 
brightness begins to show.  
Waking from my slowly fading 
dream hoping someone slips 
me some codeine.  To travel 
back to you so we never have 
to bid a due.

Desiring

Such beauty set before these eyes, longing for closure of the desire of my 
being. My skin aches for your touch, gentle and tender; desiring.

Lost as a warrior's bullet seeking a victim; lost as a comic without an audience on 
opening night. My heart wants and needs like cherry red hot fire and desirer, desiring.

Your piercing eyes draw me though there is no heart beating in your hollow chest!
Exploding mines won't destroy this longing; it will follow me postmortem; dire desiring.

The bat of your lashes is stronger than a savage warrior, whose blows end a feeble 
life. No tenderness; you break all lives like Medusa turns men to stone;liar, desiring.

Drifting away on solitude, alone tonight and you are cozy by the fire, full with no 
regrets. A dagger penetrates deep in my lungs taking the air away; danger, desiring.

Albatross, Unx-Desiring

You are still my muse
Unwilling
Undeserving

You say
I am not your muse

Without a muse
All work is lost

Punish me
Hate me
Loathe me

Desiring a Crack In the Darkness

Black coldness surrounds me
Following my every step
It moves with me
Through a world of light
Never allowing it to ever enter
But I know it is there
The lightness is there
Unable to reach my heart
I only wish and pray
That a crack would form
It only need be infinitely small
No wider than a hair
Creating a prism of color
Giving me a second of a dream
A dream of something, someone to desire
Yet even that second would fade
And my life
My sad excuse of a life
Would once again be surrounded
Surrounded by the black coldness of despair
